Smart Inside, Stupid outside ( The Quintessential Quintuplets Fanfiction)

16-I want to die...

Inside the darkroom, where a bed was displayed and a bulge that covered by the blanket. The bulge was moving to the right and left making it turned into a ball-like thing.

"Aaaah!!! I'm so embarrassed!" A voice rang.

The voice belongs to a young man. And judging by the tone, he was embarrassed. As the reason is still hidden, the person in the blanket slowly shows his face.

Heh, it's just Ikki.

For someone like him to embarrass this much, the reason behind it must be really hard on him. Right now, he wishes to find a hole and hide inside it like there is no tomorrow.

(I want to die... Is there a gun here somehow? I want to shoot myself... I can't do this anymore.)

The thought inside his mind has become crazier over time.

(What about kitchen knife? No, I don't want to die by such object, It will damage my man pride. I knew the gun would be the right choice...)

Even when he wants to die, his pride standstill. But jokes aside, again, for someone like Ikki to have a thought like this. Just hoping he was joking all around. Let's recap for a bit of a moment. Just why Ikki became like this kind of person?

Out of all events, he has visited, the recent one was Firework Festival. And it was something really painful for Ikki yet the quintuplet was happy. Actually, it was not that embarrassing situation. Somehow if a person experienced it, it still made him became like that.

(This is not right...)

-Flash... Boom!

The fireworks went at it. As all the people watch the beautiful firework that covered the entire sky in the middle of the night. This is the worse. Around all the people, six individuals feel down.

Various kind of feelings was in their minds. Especially sadness... Besides that, one of them feels really guilty, and the other one was disappointed. You can already tell who they are.

It's not Ichika's intention to separate herself with her sisters on purpose. Her manager suddenly called and told her that the audition's date suddenly changed. And out of the day, they would do it on Firework Festival day.

(If Nino was in my shoes, I don't know what will happen. Maybe they would get harsh comments from her.)

She tried her best to make the sentences in her mind nicer than it truly sounds like. Maybe she would get that 'harsh comments' from Nino after all of this done. Now that sounds terrifying... Is this how Ikki felt all this time?

She could only chuckle silently plus with the oddly bitter feeling... Thinking all of this, she guesses that this is the right moment to sigh just like how Miku did.

"If one of my sisters was in the same situation, will they do the same too?"

"I don't know?" Just answering and then put a question mark at the end would be a person like Ikki would do. Ichika was pondering by herself and he suddenly spoke. Now that was rather shocking. (I don't know. What would you guys think?)

Ichika didn't expect that no one did. Heh, if not for she knew the guy, she would already punch him. She has to hold back, and no one will get hurt. As the saying goes, be patient and concealed it. Let it go and no one will like it.

"You surprised me! Is that how you greet people? Did not your parents teach you how to properly greet people yet interrupting people?" He didn't know how, but he just activated this side of Ichika. And It's kind of scary.

"W-Well,"

(This kind of remind me when I was lectured by a fool. And that fool is Ni-)

She playfully slaps his back," Haha, just joking. But seriously you have to stop doing that." In this kind of situation, she personally hopes that her acts would stop Ikki from getting a beating from people after greeting them.
