RYU

   “Nice one, (L/n). I always knew you were you were smart.” Ayane hang her arm over (Y/n)'s shoulder as they look at the exam results in the bulletin board.

   Kuronuma nodded enthusiastically, “Mhm, I agree. You're always attentive in class and even though Japanese isn't your strong suit, you're still able to understand the lectures properly.”

   (Y/n) flushed pink, maybe she wasn't used being praised like this. But you know, she deserves every single bit of it.

   Just like Kuronuma, I always see (Y/n) pay attention in class. So quiet... So unbothered. Sometimes I see her struggling but she would always ask questions to the teachers after class. Occasionally, I would see her in the library, reading japanese grammar books, doing math equations as if the formulas were engraved in the back of her head.

   I watch over her from time to time, it's different from stalking.

   “Sawako and I are going back to class.”

   (Y/n) nodded, “Mhm, I'll catch up in a bit.” She waved at them goodbye as they disappear from her line of sight. As she turns around, she got startled by the figure, “R-Ryu... How long have you been there?”

   “Hm, for a while. Did I startle you?”

   She nodded once more, “Mhm, you're stealthy... Like a ninja.” After that comment, she adverted her gaze back to the bulletin board, standing side by side.

   “You did well on the midterm exam. Good job.” I casually commented as he cheek flushed pink again.

   “Thank you...Ryu.” She timidly replied, “How about you? How did you exam go?” I should've already expected her to ask that.

   I silently inhaled sharply, “It was... So-so.” My answer didn't satisfy her so she began scanning the bulletin for my name and unfortunately, she found it.

   She went silent for moment, “It's...good.”

   “You hesitated.”

   “N-no I didn't!”

   I chuckled a bit on her defensive tone. I don't blame her if she felt a bit disappointed. I mean, why won't she? I scored half and even less in my exams.

   Everyone tells me I'm good at sports but I wasn't that good when it comes academically. I get a hard time memorizing certain things or keep track with my homework and projects that I either pass them late or I just forget to do it. I also sleep in class a lot... but that's not an excuse.

   Maybe now, She thinks I'm dumb or stupid. Just another brainless jock who—

   My eyes widen as I snapped out of my thoughts. I just noticed how she was now close to me, looking up like I'm some apple on a tree. Her face...is that pity?... Sadness...? ...Perhaps care?

   “Ryu.” She spoke softly, her brows furrowed as her expression as bot serious and sad.

   “Hm.”
