My DOJO Princess [ON-GOING]

Chapter 12: Forgive Me For Being Insensitive

= Ken's POV =

*Your friend Kisuke has tagged you in a memory.*

I clicked the notification and it was a group picture of the School Council I was part of, ten years ago (long story) and I can't help to smile seeing it.

In the picture, I was wearing our school uniform with a red armband attached to my right bicep.

You're breaking your promise, twice.

That line keeps bugging me. I may have gone overboard on asking, I was harsh. But somehow, I felt a tiny bit of relief that I was able to say what's been bothering me.

It was already 9pm.

I was sitting by the bar table here at Brew-katsu.

"Have you decided on what to order?" Honjo-san asked.

"Oh, sorry. I'll have a beer please." I said.

"Make it two!" Said the voice behind me.

It was actually Yui. She just got out of work.

"May I join you?" She asked.

"Sure." I said.

"Why the long face?" She said as she sat next to me. "You missed someone?"

"Just my friends." I flashed her my picture with my colleagues.

"Ooh, you're part of the student council?" She took my phone to take a closer look at the picture. "School Council K. What does that mean?"

"Long story." I replied.

"You're no fun." She returned to me my phone. "By the way..."

She inched closer to me as if she's gonna tell me a secret.

"Why do you have a lot of visitors for the past days?" She asked.

"Work related." I excused. "They're my co-workers."

"Really?" She said. "Even that trendy teen that visited you in the morning?"

"Yeah." I said because she might be talking about Miyuki.

"Even that girl in a kimono?" She said.

"Eh?" I said in surprise. As far as I know, Haruhi-chan visits my flat during hours Yui is at work.

"I believe she was there last week." She said. "She was quite early though, I was about to leave for work. I tried to ask her but she ran for the elevator."

"Uh okay." I said. "She was a model for a photoshoot, she was just there to check on my progress on the article she was featured."

"Oh really." She said as if she believed what I said.

She was outside my flat last week? I thought. But why was she there when we just met a few days later.

I reached for my phone to message her about that. But I forgot she's angry right now.

"Here you go, two beers." Honjo-san handed us.

"Thank you." Yui immediately sips hers.

*Unknown Number Messaged You*

I clicked to notification to see the message.

How's Haruhi-chan? Is she with you? She hasn't come home yet.
- Miyuki

"She hasn't gone home yet?" I stood.

"Who's she?" Honjo-san and Yui asked in unison.

"Ah sorry, it is nothing." I sat down.
