Yuta couldn't really calm himself down that night. He decided to sneak out of the house, as he'd often do.
‘A refreshing late night escape’ as he called it.
His favorite place to sit and enjoy the starry night was at the beach, near the rocks. With a bottle of apple juice in his hand he'd look at the stars, the city lights he badly desired to avoid.
While he was walking and was also in his own little dreamland, he noticed a figure in the water. He tried to get a better look and when realisation hit him, he yelled on top of his lungs.
"MEGUMI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He yelled, his eyes wide from shock. There was no reply. He ran behind her. Turned her to face him. Her sharp features shining under the moon.
Her dark eyes looking deep into his. Her body cold, but she looked unbothered.
"I was lost." A whisper left her lips.
"I'm here. For you." Yuta smiled genuinely, his thumb softly rubbing her cheek.
"Why?"
"This is not what matters. Tell me what happened." He said and scanned her body for any bruises.
"They had a fight. He was injured. I have to leave." Meg answered shortly while breathing with difficulty from sobbing too much.
Her answer only made Yuta or confused.
"Megumi. Please, calm down and let me help you."
"My parents had a fight. And on top of that Jo got in so much trouble, this fucker, and–" She stopped herself and bit her bottom lip. "– mom wants to take both of us to Tokyo, away from dad." She broke in tears. Yuta couldn't help but embrace her tightly, letting her soak wet his sweater, he could see all Megumi needed was a shoulder to cry on.
"How's Jo?"
"Fucked up. He dislocated his right shoulder, broke his left knee, three ribs and his face is full of scratches. I can't believe him!"
Yuta sighed, as memories flashes in his mind.
“Don't fucking get involved with those shits! They'll bury you six feet underneath! ”
“Im a lot more stronger than this, and nothing is getting in my way to make money!”
“This is not the right way! You'll either end up expelled or even worse with broke ribs”
“I don't give a single fuck! All I want is for her, to be a princess and you aren't stopping me–”
“– Will she be happy if she finds out? Rethink.”
"Yuta, this will sound cheesy, but I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave home."
"I know."
He felt upset that he, for once couldn't do something to help her, he felt completely useless. He was also sick worried for Jo, because even after several arguments and many harsh words, Jo was still his buddy. Even after stupid decisions.
Yuta had always been a coward in his life.
And it was proven once again.
He was a coward and hesitated to tell Megumi that he knew her family problems, he knew her brother like he was his, he knew her.
He wished Jo hadn't made this decision, to join that hell of a gang.
He felt angry for not stopping him and he still could.
"Yuta. Can we go back? I don't feel well." Megumi muttered under her breath before she started shivering.
"You're burning!" He exclaimed and quickly began walking back to her house.
"Don't forget me." Her voice almost audible under the hustle and bustle of the streets even this late at night.
"Don't forget me."
He repeated after her.
