"That's alright Daichi, it's not like you're going to lose everything," Frank chuckled. 

"See? Frank and I have the same dialogue, besides she's maybe just not ready" Xenophon softly reassured.

He was still quiet positioning his elbow onto the table and fists touching his cheek. Gazing his eyes outside if the window. 

"Dude, Rin is not the only girl in the world. Like Eiko for example" I reassured. 

"If Daiki was here, he would've just slapped your face" Cackled Xeno.

We thought we could make him laugh, but no use. We started gazing at each other, thinking a sentence that could break Daichi's silence. 

"Actually Daichi, you are lucky. Because I didn't have the chance to confess my feelings to my crush," He glimpsed into Daichi, breaking the silent mood.

He gave his statement in a gloomy tone mixing with sympathy.

 I never knew that Dako and I are pretty much in the same situation before… I hope they would reunite someday. 

"How is that lucky huh?" Daichi glared at him, shooting back these sentences that he replied. We were surprised by his reply, we didn't know that it was that severe.

"Let me ask you this Dako, what is more hurtful? Never seeing your crush or getting rejected?" He angrily questioned back. 

"Both, but mine is more hurtful. You should be thankful of yourself that you have the chance to confess to her" He glared back, creating an argument.

"I haven't even got the chance t-" 

"Do you even know what situation I am in huh!?" He shouted attracting the attention of the restaurant customers. The rest of us were silent, we couldn't say anything besides watch.

He was silent, giving Daichi an advantage to turn the argument in favor of his. 

"That's what I thought," He added.

"Daichi, man rejected doesn't mean that you should fall, instead you should rise up and improve yourself. Besides Rin accepted your request of still being friends, that's already an advantage there" I gazed my eyes onto his, reassuring him.

"What advantage? Getting hurt again?" He shoots back my sentences. 

"I'm going back to the dorms" He added, dragging himself off the table sofa.

Xeno quickly stretches his arms, blocking him from escaping. 

"Were just worried about you Daichi, you haven't even got out of your dorm" I expressed my concerns, in hopes that he would stay and talk.

"If you guys are really my friends. Let me go" He directly commanded.

I swipe my eyes onto Xeno, then nodded signaling to let go Daichi. He retreated his arm from his shoulders, letting him go.

My eyes followed him, as he opened the cafe door leaving. Dako gave a gloomy sigh after he exited the cafe. 

"There he goes," Frank remarked.

"feel bad for him" Xeno added. 

"Well let's see for a few days" I replied.

"Hey, Itsuki" Dako glanced onto me.

"I've heard a rumor about you and Emi kissing on the cliff at the park at yesterday's festival, Is that true?" He added. 

Frank and Xeno were quite surprised, maybe they haven't heard of the rumor that Dako claimed. 

"No, of course not yet" I denied the rumor.

"Are you sure? I mean we keep secrets" 

I couldn't face myself lying in front of them, I mean they told their secrets to me and I keep them. Now it's my turn, I hope they do the same.

"Ugh, Yes we kissed on the cliff," I admitted.

"No way for real?" He was surprised, asking me again. Frank and Xeno were also surprised.

"Yeah, yeah" I tilted my head right to left, blankly gazing onto them. 

"Congrats man" He burst, congratulating me about my kiss.

"Yeah mate, grats" Xeno added. 

"You know that this isn't my first time kissing Emi right?"

"We know, but at least our friend got his girlfriend back" Frank replied.

"Guys lets not change the topic, please?" I suggested.

"Hmm, how abo-" 

"Xeno I know your ideas, it's not gonna work" Frank interjected.

"I was about to say 'we should do a boy's sleepover at my dorm with Daichi' but no, Frank just doubted me" He replied. 

I retreated my elbow and replaced it with crossing my arms at the table.

"Actually that's a good idea," I openly agreed. 

"So when are we doing this?" Dako asked.

"Wednesday?" Xeno replied.

"Thursday" I, Dako, Frank countered in unison.

"Wait why not Wednesday?" He questioned.

"A lot of things to do" We replied in unison.

"Alright?" He snatched out his phone and typed.

"So who's with the food and drinks?" He added.

Our eyes hurl at each other doing for a good minute making an awkward setting. 

"Why can't we just bring our own snacks?" Dako replied. 

He never joined our sleepovers so it's going to be his first time. He's pretty busy during school months aside from his job and club. 

"Yeah, why don't we just bring our own snacks?" Xeno joined. 

"Hmm, yeah sure" I agreed.

"A good idea that I haven't tried in months, I agree" Frank added.

"Alright food is check, Movies? Video Games? Anyone wanna bring any?" Xeno asked.

"I have a GameStation 5 with videogames and 4 controllers" Dako blankly claimed.

I spat out the water that I am drinking, hearing someone got a GameStation 5 makes me jealous and shocked since one cost about 34000 Yen. And it is also the best console out there.

"GameStation 5!?" We shouted in Unison. 

"Keep it down" He hissed.

"Yes I got it and have like 7 games" He boasted.

"Jesus dude, how come we never joined you in our sleepovers?" Questioned Frank. 

"You guys never asked me" He blankly replied.

"Oh, righttttt" He murmured.

"Alright, Movies and video games check! Snacks check! No Girls or Girls?" Asked Xeno. 

"No" 

"Yes" 

Frank and Dako both protested in Unison. The two of them started glaring at each other.

"What. The. Hell. Dude" Countered Frank.

"It's just supposed to be only boys! Not with girls!" He added.

"Is it? My bad" Dako admitted. Shamelessly scratching his head. 

"Are you guys ok with no girls?" Xeno asked.

"Why do we need girls in a boy's sleepover huh!?" Reiterated Frank who is clearly allergic to girls for some reason.
