"What's going on? Play more carefully. The competition day is getting closer."
Phi Mel came to talk to me one-on-one after today's rehearsal. She noticed that sometimes before the song started, I would be absent-minded. Sometimes I would play the wrong key, or start the chorus too fast. It must have been so ugly that even she could tell.
I smiled a little and nodded in agreement.
"I'm sorry."
"What about Jeans?"
And what about Jeans? Is that so?
"I usually see her picking you up and dropping you off all the time."
"..."
"Break up?"
"I didn't date her from the beginning."
I replied while lowering my head and packing my things. Even when I walked to where I put my bag, P'Mel, who was especially curious today, still followed me with a frown on her face and whispered a question.
"Don't be a little kid. Even from outside the Milky Way, I could tell that you two were together."
"You take your time when you're busy with me and go practice singing."
"Oh! This kid, are you being sarcastic?"
P'Mel was furious but managed to control her temper, probably because she often argued with me. She lowered her voice.
"If any of you guys have a fight, just clear it up and make it work out. I don't want it to affect the group. Plus, your face is emitting a gloomy aura. When a pretty girl like me is around, I look gloomy too."
Is it really related?
"Then I'll apologize to you."
I let out a long, tired sigh, slung my bag over my shoulder, and opened the door to leave the practice room, with Phi Mel walking on my right side the whole way.
"I had a fight with Jeans too.
"..."
"Because at that time, I wondered if Jeans really loved me or not."
"What makes you suspicious?"
I finally couldn't hold back any longer and opened my mouth.
"It seems like Jeans has been too good to me. I've been wondering why. I don't believe that if I give you a sweet smile and then go after someone with a mean face like Jeans, you'll open up to me so easily."
"So, in conclusion, you courted P'Jeans first, huh?"
"Something like that..."
The person's voice softened.
"But we ended on good terms. At least when we walked past each other, we could still greet each other. Any younger sibling should use a broad-minded person like me as an example. Just because we broke up doesn't mean we can't be friends."
Once again, I sighed. Is it possible to break up and be good friends? It's possible, but it's probably a minority. Anyway, the feelings of one person are not the same anymore. Because today, you came to talk nicely to me, different from before. I don't intend to displease Phi Mel.
When I walked out of the elevator on the first floor, Phi Mel followed me and spoke with a face like
"By the way, do you have about two hundred on you?"
It wasn't until I could put it together that I saw a pretty face that was smiling and trying to be sincere.
"Did you borrow money from me?"
