Warning : Suicide attempt

CHAPTER 18

Masato was still making a huge effort in order to be the best guy for Haruka. No matter how ridiculous it was, his manly heart and mind were set for it.

One of the ridiculous ways was by bothering Tokiya in his room. It was a voice lesson according to him but it was weird and amusing that the others (except for Ren who was still sleeping in his room and Natsuki who went to work) ended up joining the blue heads.

"Your voice is so sweet, Tokiya. I don't understand why the president doesn't give you a chance to produce your solo album. Now, can you please say my name in your usual tone?" Masato said while sitting on the floor.

"Masato," Tokiya replied right away. His hand which was supposed to scribble small notes on his script remained static.

"What about 'Otoya'?" Masato requested, pointing at the redhead who was observing them from his bed with full of interest.

"No!" Both Otoya and Tokiya objected without a second thought.

"Why?"

"That doesn't sound right, Masato," Otoya said, trying his best not to show a sign of disgust. Tokiya and he were not always in a good term so to hear that Tokiya would address him 'romantically' was a tad disturbing.

"Yeah," Tokiya acknowledged. "My voice tends to be deeper when I scold him so that's definitely a no-no."

"Then, how about saying their female name?"

"Otomi... Syoko... Cecilia..."

"Syoko!?" Syo responded immediately, rising from Otoya's chair.

"Cecil is a unisex name, Tokiya!" Cecil retorted.

"What about Haruka?"

"Haru... wait! Why are you doing this all of sudden?" Tokiya ended up putting his script aside.

"I am analyzing your voice," Masato confessed. "Ren said that my voice sounds patriotic so..."

"Well, your voice does sound patriotic but I honestly think it's manly and charming. It made girls feel safe," Tokiya remarked, followed by the nods from others. "Plus, the patriotic part applies to your tone since you're raised in that way. I think your voice can be sweet. Just listen to Original Resonance back. You sounded so amazing in that song."

"But I prefer to talk sweetly like you."

"But this is how I talk regularly. There's nothing sweet about that," Tokiya said. He did not understand why Masato was inferior about his voice. "Seriously, what's this about? Did you get an offer for a romance movie?"

"No. He's actually trying to win Haruka's heart!" Cecil exclaimed, followed by others' giggles.

"What?"

"Wait! How do you guys know that!?" Masato quickly turned as his eyes sized up in terror.

"We saw you both by the lakeeee," Otoya and Cecil swayed childishly while singing. "By the lake, by the lake."

"Your 'I love you' is so cute even it sounded a bit strange. For some reason, the wind was also strange on that day," Syo added, cheeky chuckles escaped from his lips.

"You guys..."

"Waaaa, he's mad!"

"Masato, please don't get angry! We promise we won't do it again!"

While the room was figuratively burning due to Masato's anger and nagging, Tokiya was spaced out at his desk.

Masato is so lucky. The Saint, Haruka...
