XLII
Sorry for the long wait :)
Kuin's PoV
In my favourite light silver-coluored dress and shining silver wedges, I head to where Yuzuki had in mind for dinner.
"Ooh, fancy~" I said as I scanned the exterior of the big restaurant. I think...this is a place for celebrities....
"Mr. Kitaoji is at the balcony tables." the waitress bowed after informing me.
I stepped up the red-carpeted staircases. The second floor carpets were golden coloured in phoenix patterns with elegant red and green dragons imprinted on walls. The stairs lead directly to a large double-open glass door, to the out door balcony, where there were around twenty tables, each of them packed.
Then, I spot him at the edge near the railing, staring off into space. I wonder what he's thinking.
I leaned in close until I was right by his ear: "...BOO!"
His head whipped my way so fast his hair brushed against my face. I gave him an innocent grin when he rolled his eyes at me.
I sat down across from him. "Looking good." I remarked at his work suit.
"Amazing yourself." he says back naturally.
Then...I guess we just talked. I asked about his job and he does the same to me. Well it's supposed to be this way isn't it?
"How're the Black Foxes?"
"Stupid...as always. I just beat them up yesterday cuz they pissed me off."
He only chuckled at me and shook his head lightly.
Hiro's pov
"Look what you guys have done now!" I mumbled in furstration, Lillie was definitely mad at us, if not disappointed.
All I need to say is...I had no part in this plan.
Takuto looks guiltily at the bag of medecine on the counter table.
"...We should've known she's just really wweet on the inside." Kenshi says.
"No, it was my idea. I'll take whatever she has to do later." Riki says.
Yuki looks around at us all, then let out a small sigh. I can tell what he's thinking. We're such pushovers for Lillie aren't we?
"We all need to apologize...." Yuki finally says, "do you know where she might be?"
"Probably her apartment." as Takuto says that, everyone were already at their feet, ready to go.
"Lillie?" I called out as soon as we arrived. There was no answer.
Takuto swiftly hacked open the door. (as swift as Taylor Swift//slapped)
"She's not here..." Kenshi says dejectedly.
I look around. And remember how she even put a knife against my throat here before.
It was back when she first lost her memories and didn't recognize either of us.
Speaking of that...she still hasn't remembered had she?
"I can't think of any other possible places..." Riki says in deep thought.
"Unless she doesn't want us to find her." Yuki says out of the blue, making us 10x more worried.
"WHAT." Takuto charged out of the apartment. We all follow. "I'm tracking down her phone."
~ten minutes later~
Isn't this that famous restaurant for many celebrities? Why would Lillie be here?
All of us followed Takuto up inside.
Yuzuki's pov
"...damn..."
She's drunk...
I glance at the bottles at her side of the table and on the ground, not even counting the ones the waiters took away.
No matter how well she can handle her liquor...this was too much.
I hesitated for about five minutes. But then there was no other way to get her back home.
I put an arm on her back and another one behind her knees. Then lifted her up bridal style.
I made an explanation to the workers here,then, just as I was heading down the stairs. Someone called out my name.
"Yuzuki Kitaoji?"
I look up to the leader of the Black Foxes, Riki Yanase.
Confusion was present in their eyes as she looked at Lillie, who was limp in my arms.
I can tell they're getting the wrong idea by the second.
"What did you do?!" All five of them shouted at once.
...
After I explained. I am now taking a taxi back to LRN with Lillie leaning onto me from my right.
But then...to her right...was that Kenshi Inagaki guy...apparently they didn't fully trust me on this one enough.
Just then, the driver took a sharp turn left. Causing her head to move accordingly from my shoulder to his.
Kenshi's pov
I wrap an arm around her shoulders right away while unconsciously tossing a small glare at Kitaoji's way.
He just looked away, rolling his eyes.
He invited Lillie out for dinner...he didn't do anything to her did he?
My grip on her shoulder tighten unconsciously.
As soon as we were dropped off at LRN, I carried her upstairs and set her down on a comfy bed.
"She's totally drunk..." Riki says.
Since when was she so uncareful? She was so exposed to danger....
"Let's leave her to rest now." Yuki says, opening the door for us to all go back downstairs.
"Yeah...and I really need that medicine." Hiro rubs his wound as he went out the door.
Kuin's PoV
Yuzuki told me it was okay, so I was looking through the photos on his phone.
But then, there was a photo of me and another guy...with a pair of purple and green eyes. It's so triggering, yet my head felt like it was splitting.
Before I know it, my head hit the table.
When I opened my eyes again, the familiar ceiling of LRN upstairs appeared in front of me.
Like a soulless body, I stammered downstairs. I wasn't drunk, but black dots are constantly appearing in my vision.
"It's been a while since Lillie's car accident, right?" Takuto mumbles. I stopped, I was in their blind spot.
"Yeah...Yuzuki even told Leonel not to come visit for the time being. He must be worried sick, though." Hiro adds.
I feel faint. I could barely feel myself standing anymore.
"Kuin?"
In the end, Riki was the first one to catch me from hitting the ground. I hate it that I'm acting so weak....
"What's happening?" boss asks, setting down a glass of water for me.
"I don't know..." I repeated a few times, "I just feel like I've forgotten something very important."
Like, my entire-life-might-depend-on-it important.
I feel like I've forgotten some feelings. Romantic emotions towards someone...who is that?
"You mean the time you spent with us before you forgot?" Kenshi asks. How am I supposed to know...?
I decided to be honest with them.
"During some time before now and my normal life, I feel like...I fell in love with someone."
"...What?!!" their reaction was way bigger than I thought.
"what..?" I look their way, "Okay I know it's kind of unbelievable, I too am shocked. I've never felt attracted to anybody in such a long time. He must've been special."
"Um...any memories on who he is right now?" Riki asks, a little too fast.
I shook my head, my hair fell around and past my shoulders.
Takuto's PoV
Her eyes shined under the light in the main hall. I was shocked to the spot at her statements.
"Oh I almost forgot." Her eyes glittering as she met mines and everyone else's.
"Apparently my magazine needs you guys back for another photo shoot." She says, "I need Riki, Hiro, Takkun and Kenny. That okay with y'all?"
How would we ever say no?
"No problem." All of us say at the same time. "When?"
"This Thursday. Which is three days later."
Apparently, even Riki's busy schedule is open that day.
"Doesn't Hiro have classes?" Beardy adds in.
"Not in the mornings." he flashed an assuring smile. In other words, he's skipping?
"Awesome." Lillie grins at us all before standing up, "I still feel dizzy, g'night everyone."
As soon as she disappeared up the stairs, all of our expressions turned serious.
"New mission." Riki says, we all gave him our undivided attention.
"Get Kuin's memory back no matter what."
