"Where the hell have you been all these years?"
I'm careful to control the volume of my voice. He's ticked me off in an odd way. I feel irritated.
We're sitting again, facing each other, my mouth a straight horizontal line, his mouth curled in an awkward way in the corner.
"I was... working. Yah, working."
We naturally fall into the words of our homeland. So far, yet so close.
"Usotsuke." I glare at him over my maccha latte. The bitter green tea powder atop the snow white cream bites my tongue. He takes a sip from his iced tea. Who drinks iced tea on a rainy day?
"Usojanai. I've been working. Senpai, believe me."
He looks straight at me. Enough for me to start to fidget. His eyes don't lie. I give in with a sigh and lightly toss my hair.
"What were you up to? Working starting at such a young age."
"I was already 18." His birthday's only about 2 months behind mine.
"Oh... Gomen."
A smile. My defeat amuses him. I return with a frown.
"I was working as a hacker."

*Usojanai: (JAPN) I'm not lying.
*Gomen: (JAPN) Sorry...
