When I got off work that day and went back to LRN, only Takuto was there besides boss.

Atsumu: "Hiro had homework so he stayed at his house since all of the materials are there; Riki's family hosted a party and he had to be present and Kenshi has night shift today."

Takuto has a bowl of pork noodles by the table and he was on the computer, programming. I put down my purse and sit down beside him, watching what he's doing.

"..." neither of us talk.

He pressed a wrong button and the screen went to 'error'.

"UGHH! You made me press the wrong key!" He growled at me. I didn't say anything as I press the 'esc' key and it went back to normal. 

"Pfft." I laugh when I see that shocked expression on his face.

He put aside his work and started gobbling down the noodles, I watched him eat. Oh great now I'm hungry again. When he finished his last slurp, he was going to take his laptop back again, but there was a piece of food on the side of his mouth.

"You've got something there," I say as I point to the edge of my mouth to show him.

He whiped a corner with the back of his hand. Hehe, he whiped the wrong side. I smile and I picked up a napkin and whiped it off for him while he flushed red.

Then, my phone rings.

"Sumimasen." I say as I walk out and take out my phone, the number was blocked, “Kon'nichiwa? Lillie speaking?"

" 'Lillie'? Really?"

Oh I'm gonna recognize that voice until the day I die. 

"Juro? How the hell did you get my phone number?"

Juro: "That's not important, I told you I'll be back didn't i?"

Lillie: *sigh* "what do y'want?"

Juro: "Just want you to convince your brother to sign a fraud contract so I can bankrupt him."

Lillie: "And what makes you think I'd do that?"

Juro: "Nothin' much, just that all you're friends' lives will be in danger, considering how many crimes they've committed."

My brows furrowed, he's talking about the Black Foxes, they're all like siblings to me by now, I can't possibly let them get caught...but...brother...he build up that company step-by-step on his own. How can I just..?

Juro: "I'll give ya three days to think about it."

*hangs up*

Beeping sounds ring through the phone, I stood there absent-minded.

Takuto's POV

She came into LRN and sat down beside me while i was programming. She kept on leaning closer to me as I type, it's making me nervous. Finally I hit a wrong key and the entire thing goes wrong, but she fixed it with just one simple gesture.

After her phone call, she came in looking rather pale. 

"You look like a ghost." I commented, but she shows no reaction as she sits down by the counter, and ordered a bottle of wine. She never insisted on drinking alcohol on her own, what happened?

"Kuin? Are you drinking?" Riki came in, hanging up his coat.

"She's been pale ever since a phone call," I say while walking over to her.

"What?" Riki said, "did she get black mailed or something?"

"Yeah...I'll carry you upstairs." 

after six bottles of beer, Riki beardless and I stop her from getting another one and I picked her up.
