Chapter 08 : Emotions

(SMS)

You: Hey Suguru, I'm on my way home from work. Just walking🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️... Gotta burn those extra calories!

Suguru: Oh, great! I hope it's not too hot out there.

You : Not really. A bit windy, which helps. How about you? Did you finish some of your missions today?

Suguru : Yes, I did! And now I'm enjoying the city views from my hotel room. It's quite relaxing.

You : Sounds nice. Do they have good views where you're staying?

Suguru : They do! You can see the whole city of Shibuya from here. It's breathtaking, especially during the night.

You : I bet. I miss watching the city from afar sometimes.

Suguru : You should come by when you're free. We can have dinner or something 🙃.

Suguru : I know it's sudden and maybe it's a bit forward of me to invite you over for dinner. But I feel like we could use some catching up 😅.

You : Hahaha! No worries, it's not forward. Considering we're friends, it's only natural for me to visit 😁...

Suguru : Deal then! How about next week?

You :  Works fine for me! Text me the address, and I'll find my way there 😎...

Suguru : Alright. Will do. Looking forward to seeing you 🥺.

You : Same 😊...I'll chat with you later tonight after dinner.

Suguru : Sounds good. Have a nice evening!

You : Likewise, Suguru..

The warmth of knowing that Suguru was still in your life gave you a sense of comfort, a feeling you hadn't experienced in quite some time.

As you approached the apartment, you noticed Toji leaning against his car, flirting with a woman. She laughed at something he said, and you couldn't help but roll your eyes at them.

Toji spotted you, and his attention shifted from the woman to you. He cocked an eyebrow, noticing the smile on your face as you typed away on your phone. "Hey, what's got you grinning like a fool?"

Annoyed by his intrusion, you tucked your phone into your pocket, glaring at him. "None of your business."

Toji shrugged, then pushed the woman away, causing her to stumble back.

"Why are you stupidly smiling on your goddamn phone?" he asked, joining you as you unlocked the door to the apartment.

"Just mind your own damn business, Toji." You snapped, marching inside.

"Come on, Buttercup. You've got to tell me. You never smile like that." Toji said, following you close from behind.

You shook your head, heading straight to the kitchen. "Like I said, it's none of your concern."

Toji leaned against the counter, crossing his arms. "I'm your roommate. I'm supposed to know everything about you."

"Excuse me? That's not how it works! Well, tough luck for you. This is one secret you won't pry out of me." You shot back as you walked towards your bedroom.

"Aww, are you keeping secrets from me now?" he teased, a mock hurt look on his face. "Fine. I'll let it slide this time." Toji said, moving away from the counter.
