Yesterday evening
Asuka sure has no time to interrogate you on and on about why you are refusing to hangout with her in her mother's restaurant. I mean, it's not like it's something new that you'll do and it's actually a routine that you'll do after cram school.
But as Rindou suddenly came out of nowhere and wanted to help you with the writing portfolio, you don't hangout with her anymore and sometimes you're with Rindou more rather than her. Maybe on the weekends, you fully hangout with her all day but that's not occasionally.
Last weekend you didn't hangout with her and coincidentally, something bad happened to your mother.
She knows that it's childish to feel jealous and you're not her property or something, you have the freewill to be friends with anyone. But if the person that she's been friends with for almost 3 years already is somehow choosing some guy that's a fucking delinquent and is known to literally murdering someone when he's just 12 years-old, she might just accidentally develop that jealous feeling.
Sometimes she doubted if it's safe or not for you to just be alone with him. She knows that the incident 5 years ago was an accident and in fact, there was also an unknown detrimental drug involved in the situation but still, someone died in the incident.
Why is it that everyone is just brushing it off?
Like it's not a big of a deal from the first place. It was as if she's being overdramatic in the first place.
But yet, Asuka wanted to trust you and she's always aware that you're not dumb. You don't trust people so easily and if you were to befriend Rindou again, she needs to stop over worrying and trust your own decisions.
But well, it seems that Rindou was already showing signs to you that he doesn't want to be friends with you anymore. There were no signs of him at all today and he must not even bother to even read the letter.
What a bastard.
He even has the audacity to let you two wait for hours. It's not that you have no effort to apologize to him. He's also not obligated to accept your apology but at least, he should give you an answer and come out from the hideout.
Does he have any idea how nervous she was to just keep on waiting yesterday? The fact that you're so stubborn and kept on being persistent to wait for his ass.
She doesn't want to leave you alone because if anything were to happen to you...she can't imagine how she's going to live with that guilt. And if it were bound for something awful to happen to you two last night, then that will be way better than just you alone being in trouble.
That's why she's just being such an annoying clingy friend yesterday. Even though she was second guessing if what she was doing is right or wrong, and the fact she is realizing how infuriating and controlling she was to the point even the Wattpad comments are violating her (I'm just joking, please don't jump on me).
But guess that's what a protective friend should do. She feels like she has no choice but to act that way.
Asuka was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't realize that she finally arrived at her mother's restaurant parking lot. Sometimes she just cycles subconsciously, because the route that she cycled every evening was the same and her brain doesn't even fully focus much.
She parked her bicycle and kicked the brake, stabilizing the bicycle that was slanted to the right. Her backpack today was not that heavy because today is one of those days where she doesn't have homework at all so it was only her pencil case, her flip phone and her purse that was in it.
As she got off the bike and stood beside it, out of the blue, her eyes darted at the nearby manga store. Her mother's restaurant was on a higher ground and whenever she wanted to reach it, she had to cycle up a slope and even customers that walk there have to use stairs in order to enter the restaurant.
Her mother was lucky to succeed in obtaining the land there on her own and she used all of it to just build her sushi restaurant. While the other stores that are at lower ground, are arranged beside each other and most of the stores there are different from each other as there is manga store, a bakery, a stationery store and even a car workshop.
The manga store was the nearest one to her mother's restaurant. It sure is a bummer that Asuka is not a big fan of manga and it sure is irritating to see so many manga-crazy teens barging in the store whenever they made a sale or a new manga collection was launched.
The store wasn't small, it takes up four stores and it also has the upper floor ones. That's how big it is and sometimes people from other districts had traveled far to just come by the store.
But at least, it benefits her mother's restaurant for sure, the buyers that come to the store will eventually have their lunch in her mother's sushi restaurant and you have no idea how exhausting the day will be for her, she will instantly land on her bed as she arrives home and not even bothering to take shower (that's gross, actually) and went into dreamland.
Just as Asuka was about to turn her way to her mother's restaurant, she suddenly heard someone opening the manga's entrance door so aggressively that it sounded like it was going to fall off at any moment. Her eyes soon darted to the person, who she assumed first was about to enter the manga store...but nope, the person was actually exiting it.
She furrowed her eyebrows, getting curious on who this mysterious person was and why they were so violent and having no proper manners. If she were the manga store owner, she wouldn't hesitate to ban the person from coming ever again.
Her steps were then moved quite closer to the store, still, her eyes were focused on the person, who was wearing a cap, a black turtleneck with a white dress shirt as an overwear that is tucked in with brown jeans that has a chain at the side of his leg.
That person...
He seems to be unnecessarily fashionable.
Which reminds her of a particular someone.
Who is known to never dress horribly on any occasions that she sure is convinced that even his pajamas will be fancy and expensive.
No way.
Could it be....
...the bastard she was referring to before?
As she squinted her eyes more and took a closer look, she then saw these colors on the person: blond with light blue streaks under that brown cap of his and golden-colored glasses.
Oh, god.
It was none other than...
Haitani Fucking Rindou.
Her light green lazy eyes widened in shock, can't believe what she saw before her eyes.
And...she will say that this opportunity that God had given her and she couldn't thank Him enough for this.
To do what you may ask?
Absolutely.
She's going to kill that bastard. That's how she describes what she's going to do next.
Without thinking twice, Asuka unzipped her bag and pulled out an item...that is...actually a precious gift from you and she must say, she brings it everywhere, especially when she's forced to walk alone because that thing can calm her nerves and protect her.
But now, she decides to abuse it. And use it...on someone that didn't bother to threaten her or anything, and actually she's the one who is about to threaten Rindou instead.
She threw her bag beside her bicycle, making her bicycle lose balance and fell onto the tarred road. But she couldn't care less about her bicycle's condition at the moment, there's something else she should prioritize.
I'll settle that later.
She quickly walked down the slope and was about to move her way to the manga store, it was as if something evil was possessing her, even a car that was moving on the road had to stop for her because she had no plans to halt.
Poor Rindou.
The guy doesn't seem to be aware that he's in danger and he thought that his surroundings were completely fine.
He didn't even bother to move to his motorbike and still, he was standing still in front of the manga store and still focusing on reading the new volume of Kaichou Wa Maid Sama. He quickly went on to peel off the plastic wrap around the manga, throw it in the nearby trash can (it didn't go in because his eyes were focused reading and he just threw it mindlessly) and planned to read one chapter before he goes on in his merry way.
Not to mention that he just got a free strawberry lollipop from the cashier and he was dumbfounded at first and asked why is he getting one but the cashier just giggled and said because he is a 'regular' customer.
Did I...also mention that the cashier is a man?
Yeah, right. A 'regular' customer. That's definitely just an excuse.
We just can't blame him for making people question or realizing their true sexuality now is it? Even Haru who had always been madly in love with Asuka for years was about to falter by the sight of Rindou in the changing room.
I have handsome privileges.
As per usual, he is going to act all smug and arrogant about it, I mean, it's not Haitani Rindou without being conceited, right? That guy sure has a kind heart but dear God, don't even get me started how full of himself he can be at times.
Just as he shut his book for a moment and placed it between his arm and side, he took out the lollipop from the pocket of his pants and was about to unwrap the lollipop on his hand.
But.
A sudden presence halted him.
His eyes that were focused on the lollipop moved to the person that he felt was so close to him like they were breathing on his neck, that's how creepy it felt.
But he couldn't see the person since an object was blocking him to see who was the perpetrator. Honestly, Rindou was panicking inside but he didn't let himself be seen vulnerable and he put a composed expression, just so that it can intimidate the mysterious person more.
He was about to take a step back but then the person said out of the blue, their words were malice and revengeful, that he knew he was doomed at the very moment.
"Die."
Rindou automatically closed his eyes shut, trying his best to keep himself safe and protected from that 'thing'.
But he doesn't need to worry.
Because the person that was about to harm him was screaming in pain all of the sudden which confuses Rindou. Who is the victim here actually?
So his curiosity has led him to flutter his eyes open, and can't stand the fact that this situation is just bizarre and not going right.
The sound of the object falling onto the floor reverberated in the spaces and Rindou only eyed it, it was rolling far away from the perpetrator.
Just by seeing that, he can already tell what has happened.
There he saw a girl with blackcurrant-haired color, who had her hair in a ponytail,was half kneeling on the rocky road and was rubbing her eyes with both of her hands like she was out of her damn mind. The fact that she was endlessly screaming like she's possessed by a ghost.
Miyamura?
Rindou is right. It is Miyamura Asuka.
But to make it more precise, it was Miyamura Asuka who failed to pepper spray the dingus and accidentally had the nozzle of the spray onto herself instead, making her eyes feel like they're on fire.
She was screaming with all her might, as if she was in a serial killer movie. It was a scream between embarrassment and sorrow, she was stuck in this shameful scenario and she just feels like she has to flee this situation but...she can't see anything and is in a helpless state.
So there's nowhere to run. Even if she tried, she's just convince that she's probably going to hit her head on a nearby lamppost or she'll just fall into a trashcan like Cady in Mean Girls did.
Guess she just needs to bear all of this alone, right?
She truly wants to give herself a good punch for aiming the nozzle to herself. How can she be this stupid? Is she getting some type of karma or something?
Haitani Rindou must be laughing at her state at the moment, I mean...who wouldn't? When she's just proving her stupidity so clearly to Rindou.
But then.
She was shocked when she felt a hand pulling her arm up from her position and a tired sigh escaped his lips. It was as if he was so exasperated that he literally didn't want to be in this situation and was forced to.
"You need to take lessons on how to use that thing properly."
_____________
"Try putting this on it."
Asuka then felt a wet cloth being put on her hands, she still has her eyes shut tight because it seems like she's having difficulties opening her eyes. She truly can't fathom this situation as she thought she was just going to be left in pain and laughed at, as she assumed in her head.
But nope.
She was already sitting on a chair, god who knows where and the fact is someone did try lending her help.
What's more embarrassing is that it's the same person that she was about to attack just now.
Is this...what you call revenge on them with kindness? Kill them with kindness? Not necessarily kill though but you get my point.
"Don't rub your eyes. You're going to go blind if you keep on doing that."
Asuka, who was about to rub her eyes with her free hand, instantly pulled her hand away from her face and grunted, "You just wanted to scare me on purpose, aren't you?"
Rindou only responded with a scoff, at this point, Rindou might just see you way kinder than Asuka, considering how she seems to not be grateful at all with Rindou's help. He can let her suffer alone and not give the slightest fuck, but as the kind person he is, he just stayed and help, even if she was the one that was about to hurt him.
"Is this how you repay people that help you?"
Asuka stayed silent and acted like she didn't listen to Rindou's words before. She went on to put the wet cloth on her eyes but she was putting them roughly and she attempted to flutter her eyes open slowly, but it sting so she couldn't help but hiss from the pain.
"Do it gently. No need to rub it on your eyes so roughly."
Why is he so bossy?!
Asuka was about to protest but still she did listen to Rindou and chose to dab the cloth on her eyes gently instead and it felt less painful. She was scared at this moment and when she did wait for Rindou to get the cloth for her, she rubbed her eyes so many times and Rindou saying that she can go blind, was not making things any better and encouraging her to cry.
After a few minutes passed, she attempted again to open her eyes and this time, it felt less painful and she blinked her eyes lots of times, trying to force her tear glands to do the cleaning job in her eyes that was unfortunately infected with such dangerous chemicals.
Rindou didn't say a word, as he was just standing beside her like he's her bodyguard or something. He should have reached home, sat on his bed and read his newly bought manga till 1 am, but guess circumstances has led him to this instead.
Helping someone that was about to harm him.
Asuka was feeling much better and as she was about to lend Rindou back the cloth she was holding, she uttered in a rude tone, "Why did you help me?"
Rindou that was about to reach for the cloth in her hands, paused for a moment, not believing that such a dumb question was asked to him, "Am I...
...supposed to leave you be?" He asked with one of his 'angry' eyebrows lifted up.
Asuka threw the cloth onto his chest rudely, making Rindou startled by her action but still, he managed to catch it with his hands. She was unbelievably rude and ungrateful, her face was so furious that Rindou couldn't understand where in the world did he do wrong or even deserve to be treated this way.
"Yeah...that is exactly what people like you should do. Being selfish and causing trouble, that's exactly what you people should be doing, not helping someone that's in one!" Asuka said with rage, it was as if she was pissed off by the fact that Rindou helped her, it was one weird reaction from someone indeed.
"You think...that your act of kindness to me will convince me that you're a nice person?"
Oh, fuck no.
Rindou surely has no time for any of this, how many times does he have to hear these types of statements. It's not just about people assuming that he's a bad person, what hurts most is when people doubt his kindness, that was the worst part of all. Like they quickly think he wants something in return or taking advantage of a person when actually, he's doing it sincerely.
What does he even get after helping Asuka anyways?
Right, at first it should be nothing. But now he's just getting hurtful words from her and the fact that she even threw the cloth so rudely at him, it's like she thinks that she can disrespect him and treat him like trash?
Where in the world does she think that she has a free ticket to do so? Where did the audacity ever even come from?
"You can go burn in hell." Rindou said angrily. He is the type of person that believes in 'you get what you deserve' and he surely will not hesitate to disrespect people that were not respecting him in the first place.
What does she think? Is he some type of doormat or something? That she can just go trample on?
He is known to be the top delinquent in Roppongi and without a doubt, he can hurt anyone that he likes if he wanted to, but yet his morals were the one that was holding him back and there was no way near in this world he will ever try to hurt a woman, even if she was being the most horrible person to him.
Rindou knew that this was a waste of time and he is starting to regret ever trying to help that best friend of yours. He's not trying to prove to her anything and he doesn't even think that this act of kindness will somehow make you realize that he's a nice person and make you beg him for forgiveness. He never thought of that in the first place at all. Rindou is just a sincere person.
People always say to be kind to others.
But unfortunately it's so difficult for Haitani Rindou.
Rindou doesn't want to get further in this situation or even look at the blackcurrant-haired girl's face. He was trying best to hold back his words and he just decided to get lost from the situation and not continue arguing.
The argument you had before with him has just led to nothing but a broken heart to him. So in the end, it'll just be pointless. Arguing takes so much energy and the results will just be shit.
As Rindou uttered his word before to Asuka, he turned his back away from her and took his manga that he had rested on a table. The wet cloth that he borrowed from the bakery beside the manga store, he just threw it onto the table and didn't bother to say thank you to the worker that lent it to him. All in his head was to go back to his motorbike and forget whatever was happening at the moment.
Just as he was about to move his way, Asuka exclaimed all of the sudden, "Because if you think you are....
...then, you're right."
Rindou's eyes widened in shock as he heard the most unexpected words from her.
No way.
Is he hearing things, right? Or was it just in his head?
Rindou snapped his neck to her direction, an unbelievable expression was written on his face as Asuka's angry expression before was softened into a guilty one. Her eyes were just resting on the ground, like she was ashamed or she just couldn't look Rindou in the eye.
"I'm sorry."
"Eh?" Confusion was written on Rindou's face, it's like a whole different person was talking to him and the rude girl that was throwing cloth at him before was slowly fading away in his memory.
"It's my fault."
"EH?!"
I mean, it's just valid for him to act that way.
Because Asuka was bowing at him all of the sudden and he was least expecting this to happen at all, like in the corner of his mind he never thought that it's possible for her to bow at him out of the blue. It's only his underlings that will act like this to him out of respect but now....never in his life someone other than them will do this to him.
He doesn't know what he feels at this moment, either he's just puzzled or he's just freaking out but whatever it is, there's only one question that was left in his mind.
"Hey! Why are you bowing? Please st-"
"If I wasn't such a prejudiced person, (Nickname) probably wouldn't have hurt your feelings. I constantly went on my whole life trashing delinquents, saying how such lowlifes like them shouldn't exist in this city and how they bring no good at all. But..." A sniffle had stopped her mid-sentence, it was obvious that she's about to cry and tears would fall in just a few moments.
"Who am I...to say all that when I never even encountered or interacted with one before and I just kept on living with my assumptions. I convinced myself multiple times that my prejudiced and disrespectful thinking will be validated, just because of what I've been through.That's actually straight up stupid and narrow-minded of me," Tears started falling onto the ground as she was still in her bowing position, even her words sounded nasally to Rindou's ears, she was talking while crying.
Rindou was listening to every word that she was saying and it sure made his burden felt light all of the sudden. Guess that act of kindness was worth it, but he's not here to get compliments from her for it, he was doing it sincerely.
"Please stand up. You're making me uncomfortable," Rindou didn't respond to her words and scratched his nape due to him feeling quite uncomfy with her bowing. Even if he chose to respond, he wouldn't straight away say that 'I told you, I was a nice person but you wouldn't believe me!', he understands why there's doubt coming from.
And he knows for sure that he's not a nice person and he never will be, especially when he's living that type of lifestyle and his past 5 years ago....that shit will latch onto him like a fucking curse for the rest of his life.But he sure felt content that his kindness was not doubted.
That's already enough for him.
Asuka stood up from her bowing position and sniffled, she wiped some of the tears that were trickling down her cheek, her eyes sure can recover faster with her crying so that's not a waste of tears.
"I'm...not begging you to forgive me," She sniffled a little and continued, "I'm begging for (Nickname)."
Just like that, Rindou's neutral expression before change into bewilderment all of the sudden. Why in the hell is your name dragged into this conversation all of the sudden?
"What?" Rindou furrowed his eyebrows, as if that statement was not making sense at all to him.
"I kept on spouting shit about delinquents to her. So of course she can get influenced by my words...without a doubt, especially when I told her about my past." Her eyes that were on the ground before moved to meet him, there was a sense of pleading in them, "So please...forgive (Nickname)."
The blonde-blue haired boy only scoffed at her words, it was as if they were a joke to him, "Wow, you have the nerve to tell me to forgive her? When she...didn't even try to apolo-"
"She did!" Asuka cut him off. It was as if she wanted to tell him of how she was so against you trying to apologize to him all this time but yet, you didn't falter by her words and kept on with what you believe in. She sure got quite mad when Rindou was trying to say that you didn't have the effort...wasn't he the one that was ignoring you, last night? Or was the effort not enough?
"But you're the one that ignored her."
What?
"Huh? What on earth are you talking about?" Rindou was getting even more confused with this situation, it was like Asuka was talking in another language because everything that she was saying at the moment was not making sense to him.
"Yesterday?" Asuka sounded as if she was getting angry at Rindou for not remembering what happened last night...like he was amnesiac or something. "In front of your hideout. We both waited for you to come out because she wanted to...apologize."
Rindou has never been so confused before as he can't control his expression at all, it was just straight up written on his face that he has no clue at all.
"I-I'm not-" he was lost in words but managed to continue, "I didn't even go to the hideout yesterday. It was just my-"
Rindou's puzzled expression quickly died down all of the sudden and an irritated one was replaced instead. He has come to the realization and the real answer to all of this misunderstanding. He just knows for sure who is behind all of this and he sure has thought of 400 ways to kill that guy and try to make all of them look like damn an accident.
"God, I'm going to chop off his braids for real."
Asuka instantly got what he was saying and can understand what was the real deal behind all of this.
So it was not Rindou that was the bastard last night.
It was Ran.
Ran was the one that didn't bother to let you two in or even try to ask you two to get lost or something. He just left you two waiting like idiots outside the hideout till late night.
If Rindou decides to chop off his braid, then she wouldn't hesitate to put it on a display at an art exhibition and gain profit from it, even if it's not her fucking hair but it doesn't matter, she's really angry at Ran right now, even if Ran had never spoken to her or even know who she is, she feels like she has the right to lash out at him.
"So...you didn't even know? Not even the letter?" She stated in a panic tone.
Rindou pushed his hair back out of frustration, pretty sure he couldn't hold back his anger towards his brother at any moment, "Letter? What letter?" (this is not an Anne with an E reference, okay?)
Asuka stares at him in disbelief, because if this encounter never happens in the first place, he sure will never know and find out how you tried to apologize to him. Is his brother hiding everything away from him or something?
This couldn't get any worse now.
"(Nickname)'s apology letter. She stuck the letter in-" She halted her words for a moment as she can't find the right words to use.
What the hell are those gap thingies called?
"I don't know, the gate-" she was moving both her hands up and down as if she was chopping off meat or massaging someone's back but she truly doesn't know what to call those little gaps in a gate, so she gestured using her hands.
"Pickets?" Rindou tried to guess what she was trying to say.
Asuka snapped both of her fingers in happiness, then both her hands formed a finger gun at Rindou and she said, "Yes! The gate pickets! She put it between the pickets."
Rindou only let out a sigh of frustration and his eyes were not meeting hers, it was looking so far ahead of her and as if he can already imagine Ran's figure in front of him and he sure can't wait to scream his heart out at his annoying face.
"Well, I know for sure someone's going to die when I arrive home."
Asuka pretended to not hear Rindou's threat because what was the point anyways? It wasn't even for her, it was for his Annabelle-looking brother.
But she wants to take this situation in a positive direction and she started being hopeful. Because if Rindou is getting angry at his brother for stopping you from apologizing to him, then it could mean one thing.
"So you're going to forgive (Nickname), right?" It was funny how she was so against this friendship between you and him before this, but now she was the one that was trying her best to mend it back, even if it has nothing to do with her much and she shouldn't even meddle if she wanted to.
Rindou stayed silent for a moment, it seems like Asuka's question was difficult for him to answer. Just as a few minutes passed, Rindou started talking again but it sure was the least expected words from him.
"Give me your number."
"What?" Asuka was startled all of the sudden.
Rindou took out his flip phone from his pocket and handed it to Asuka. He then proceeded to say, "I'll read the letter first." He moved the phone closer to her and gestured her to take it quickly, "I'll call you and tell you myself if I forgive her or not."
Why wouldn't he just call (Nickname) instead?
Even if that question popped up inside her head, Asuka obliged to his words and took the flip phone from him. She started to type in her number into his phone.
"I'm confident you're going to forgive her," She tapped the call button and declined it right away, her phone was still in her backpack that was laying on the ground with her bicycle, she can just save his number later.
"And why is that?" Not liking how she's trying to assume that he's the type to forgive someone so easily.
She only let out a chuckle and handed him back his phone.
"Because you're just like me."
Huh? What does she mean? Our eyebrows? Yeah, we both have the same type of eyebrows but what does that have to do with anything? (He's called a dingus for a reason)
"The hell does that mean?" He snatched his phone back from her and placed it back in his pockets.
"You also want to be friends with her first." She shrugged her shoulders and said, "And also, (Nickname)'s not the type to apologize first but if she does, that means she's very sincere. Not to mention a letter. She definitely hasn't gone this far to apologize to someone before."
Rindou was trying his best to keep a composed expression, not wanting to smile or become flattered (he actually is) at all with Asuka's words before. It's too early to show that emotion or if he did smile, it means that he has forgiven you. He doesn't want to yet.
You did screw up big time and he sure doesn't want to let it slide that easily.
So he was trying his best to convince himself that whatever you write in that letter was not sincere at all and definitely will not move him one bit or make him accept your apology.
That's what he wanted to think though.
Although he already knows from the start, about how letters have always been his biggest weakness.
Especially when it reminds him of the dreadful day that he doesn't want to remember at all.
This sure is a cheat move from you and he was not having it. He's not going to give in yet. He has his own ego that he wants to protect.
"Will see about that when I read the letter." He said to Asuka as if her words were not convincing at all and it sure had made Asuka assume quickly that the letter has a 50 percent chance to be able to mend your relationship back with Rindou.
"Save my number and also..." Rindou halted his words for a moment and he was pointing towards something that was behind Asuka. Asuka followed where his finger was pointing and immediately she could already see where this was going.
"I want free sushi!"
This guy must have had no clue that that's my mother's restaurant.
Asuka of course will always eat there for free and she treated many of her friends multiple times. But you know, Rindou is still a stranger to her and she sure does not feel like it's right to treat him food yet at the moment, especially when it's her mother's restaurant. It's like she's dragging her mother into this situation that she somehow has messed up, like at least, if it was other restaurants, she wouldn't mind about that.
But using her mother's hard work as repayment?
That sounds off.
Asuka looked back to Rindou and it can be seen clearly how unsettled she looked, "Can I repay you in another way?"
Rindou gasped as if she could decide for him when in reality, she was the one that had to listen to what he wanted and she obviously wronged him. So why the hell is she rejecting his statement just now?
"Do you want me to forgive (Last Name) or not?" He threatened her.
"Are you threatening me?"
Rindou gave her a mocking frown and said, "Free sushi...or I wouldn't read the letter!" Rindou already knows that his words will work to convince Asuka to just give in and treat him to sushi.
Asuka only sighed in defeat and exclaimed "Good god!"
Rindou only cheered when Asuka was giving in to him and he started to tag along Asuka that was starting to walk towards Miya's Corner.
Guess Asuka's attempt to pepper spray Rindou was worth it after all.

A/N: Asuka's character development era?!π Y/n when? π€‘π€‘ I'm sorry it's 12 am here I really am typing nonsense right now. Okay guys, don't get jealous, Rindou and Asuka are platonic till the very end LMAOOO she also already has a crush so don't worry hehe. And I'll just say be prepared for the next 2 chaps because....Rindou's painful, heart wrenching, tear jerking, hair pulling backstory is about to come near and I'm telling you...it's going to be way more painful than y/n's that I believe I have to stop multiple times from writing it because I can't stop crying (yes I cry when I write angst and that means that the angst is good enough to make others cry). Okay that's all, thanks for reading and see you again in the next update, darlings. Remember to not settle less β€οΈβ€οΈ.
