KOKICHIS POV:

Once we got back to the hospital, everyone mostly either went to bed or played card games until 8pm.

I was one of the few playing card games. It was pretty fun, Angie, Me, and Ryoma won most matches, I knew I would but I didn't expect those two to also win.

When we all got up to go to our rooms, I got a text from Kaito, I don't even know how he got my number.

Kaito | 8:09pm
Hey Ouma! I wanted to talk to you about something kinda serious in the morning if you're free, stop by my room around maybe like 10am? Or whenever you wake up! Thanks bro 👍

I stare at the text wondering what he could mean by serious. Is it about me and Shuichi? I can't really think of anything else. I respond back, typing quickly while entering my room.

Ouma | 8:10pm
Hey! Whatdo youme an by seriosu??? Alsoi normalr y wakeup aroudn like twvel am or onepm so iheop that's oka y

He responds almost immediately.

Kaito | 8:10pm
Woah! Looks like you need a spelling lesson LMAOO but on a serious note you'll see this morning, hope that doesn't worry you much but it's something id rather talk about in person!

Ouma | 8:10pm
okat 🫡

I lay down on my bed and put my phone down next to me, looking at the ceiling.

I really can't think of anything he'd wanna talk about, so I decide to text Shuichi, maybe he told him about us? I thought we silently agreed to let them find out on their own but that could've just been me misunderstanding things.

Ouma | 8:12pm
hey shuimqi didy ou give kaito my jumbr?? also likeedud you telelheim about usbedause he alsois texting me saying hewannts tosee me thissmkring toatlk aboyt soenthing seripus and idk what it codyl be yk???

It says he read it immediately, but it takes him awhile to respond. He said he normally has to "decipher" my texts because my bad spelling. I'm not even that bad at spelling I just type really fast so I don't know what he's yapping about.

Shumai💜 | 8:17pm
Yeah I gave him your number in the cafe. However I didn't tell him about us, what else did he say?

Ouma | 8:17pm

Like before, he takes a few minutes to respond.

Shumai💜 | 8:23pm
I'm sure it'll be fine dear, don't worry! If you want you can ask if I can come along, maybe that'll help you calm your nerves?

Ouma | 8:24pm

Shumai💜 | 8:24pm

Ouma | 8:24pm
Ims o normal trust
Also yesiwill ask himthat

OH MY GOD HE CALLED ME DEAR AAAHHHHHHH!!!

anyway.

I wake up at 1:20pm, and immediately remember what Kaito had said to me last night. I head to his room and knock on the door.

He opens the door after two knocks. "Hey Ouma!"

"Hey! Soo what's up?" I ask walking in and sitting on a chair.

His room is pretty nice, he has purple curtains like mine but they're more pinkish? Like a magenta.

"So. I was looking for my jacket that I had in the.. you know.. game. And while looking I found this person who claims to work in the company that the games are made by. They basically resell the original items we had in the game that weren't given to us for whatever reasons. I found my jacket, but I also found your scarf." He rants, pausing every so often.
