"This flea market is big!" I exclaimed with an audible gasp.
From my place, my eyes sparkled as they skimmed around the cluster of stalls spreading beside the beach. Hundreds of people were milling and weaving around the narrow map, busy with their summer shopping. I could make out books piling into a heap, vintage jeweleries hanging from display hooks, and second-hand clothings cascading like a waterfall from their hangers.
Time to be financially irresponsible! I swore I had lifted my feet off the ground, filling a few inches gap between me and the market before my bubble burst. All because I unintentionally took a register of the tall figure of Umemiya beside me. A reminder, I was still stuck in a mission.
I let out a little chuckle. "Ah, sorry about that. We should find my brother and Kotoha, right?"
Umemiya nodded. "Where's the restaurant they're at?" He waved his finger around the place in question.
"Oh, it's over there-around the next block." I informed.
A notification had chimed from my phone again. "Give me a moment," I told Umemiya as I pulled out my phone and opened my brother's message.
Gremlin:
We're not done we are meal, order just arrived.
Me:
Really? I can't stall this man forever yk...
Gremlin:
Just do something, remember, i'm doing the dishes for months, please make it worth (￢_￢)
I sighed.
Me:
Consider it done |･ω･)
"Sorry for making you wait, Umemiya." I said, my face faintly creased in a fake-apologetic look. "They left us."
He raised his brows. "Huh? They ate without waiting for us?"
"Sadly, they did."
"Oh man," He pouted. "But that's the whole point, to have a meal together."
"I'm sorry, Umemiya, this is my fault. I delayed you."
"No, no!" He gave me a nervous laugh, holding his hands up while a drop of sweats were beading his forehead. "[Last Name], don't say that, accident happens." He straightened his shoulder, beaming at me again. "Besides, they have been changing places since the beginning." He added, his chin wedged between his thumb and finger. "It's like...they're avoiding me."
