A couple came out from the cafe.
The one who was first angry in the area in the end also started to appreciate it.
They were smiling looking at each other, but that was not a smile at all, it was excitement.
"They make a good couple, nah babe." The girl giggled.
"Obviously, I think, they are in relationship." He grabbed her hand—gently.
Make eye contact with her, smile like a creep.
"I think they hide their relationship…" The boy glanced at her.
"Hmmm…" He held his chin and rubbed like a professional detective.
"They don't like a childhood friend at all—or."
The girl interrupted in the middle.
"But… They make a nice couple—together." She make a V or victory sign,
Big smile.
Wind blows~~in disbelief.
"Minato x Shimizu."
That boy praises her, "Ya… Yeah—obviously."
He tied his grip—then before on her hand. Again they made eye contact and smiled with pleasure.
"We came together in the cafe again, right babe." The girl glanced at him to make conform.
"Of course why—not" The boy replied with a smile.
"We came together to see their progress." they said in unison.
"I think, If we take another cafe. We miss all the fun…"
"But… That one is interesting."
They nodded together. They left: with giggles and gossips of them the whole way.
In between their talks. One person is pissed so much.
He was none and only our Lion.
When he was staring with teary eyes, that couple came out and talked about that and this.
Lion understood so many things about the thing that was going on in the cafe.
"First—who is… Shimizu? Minato ne—never told me about… him—brokenly."
"Hmm… His childhood fri—friend. Means I was in an illusion all time…"
He laughs at himself, grabs his face.
"I always believe… I am the only one—for him—not anyone."
"He must love—me more than… him, Yeah that's rig—right." He shutters.
"Impossible, I literally believed that damned couple."
"He loved me right… Minato." He rubbed his face through the window—possessively and obsessively.
Like Minato is his property, Minato belongs to him. Not anyone except him.
He picked up his pastry box—Possessively.
When he picked his pastry and glanced at Minato… He paused again.
It was bright like the sun. Minato was smiling looking at Shimizu.
But… he—
"He never smiled at—me with that—look." His hands were trembling.
Lion thoughts: On our honeymoon, I can't come… and do that…
I had my reasons. I explained to him so many times but he… took it wrong…
I had an important meeting, if I missed it my contract with other heirs would be cancelled and it led to bankruptcy.
It was not like I don't want to be with him but I am busy.
I want to take him on a trip but my boss doesn't allow that, so I think it's good to make a scenario like we are on a trip.
But all things went wrong. The company urgently called me to meet on our honeymoon.
I left him in the dark and decorated room alone.
His face was blanked as hell, not by anger, not by leaving him, his expression was neutral.
Sad and depressed;
Like he knows that would happen to him.
At that time, I didn't understand him at all.
His face was blanked, not any reaction it gives me chills.
It was like, No, I felt like he started to distance from me. I ignored him that time, I was worried and a little amazed by his expression.
From that he stopped smiling, meaning in the old days he smiled but least like when I am happy he was, when I was sad he was also, He always supported me but…
All things despaired like…
They were memories—not reality.
He stopped talking, barely he talked to me. And From… The day where I took Toka.
He didn't shout and left me alone with no argument.
I was paused at that time, or It's safe to say I… was disappointed.
In the morning, I show him staring. First—I was surprised later, I was happy to see him. I called him but he ignored me.
I was surprised why he was not responding.
I called him triplet time.
He came with a blank expression as usual. I served him breakfast—nicely because I wanted to.
He take his plate—roughlt.
It would not be corrected to say that he pulled, he snatched it.
He ignored the two seats left. I saved these chairs for him but he went and sat on the sofa.
He ate his breakfast—quickly.
When I tried to talk again—hesitatly. He ignored me.
It felt like he ignored me in the groups of girls asking for his number. And I was one of them.
I was a little mad at him—.
Car honk~~*PEEP *PEEP.
He came out of his thoughts. He stomped toward his home with his unstoppable thinking about Minato.
"No… I need to stop thinking about that—Toka is waiting for me—alone in a large house." He murmured and left.
But… His tears are dripping non stop. He rubbed his tears again and again—to make it disappear. But it didn't stop.
—(Hmm… ok he was busy with work, so you left Minato in honeymoon—alone. And Toka would be afraid that living in a large house is terrifying him but when Minato was living in that same house it was not terrifying for him.)
(HE DESERVED IT, if I think.)
On the way home.
It felt like something was wrong with Lion.
His behaviour changed like a chameleon.
It suddenly stopped at a light pole, He punched it. He fell into knee.
His tears are dripping and in that mess he laughs at himself—loudly.
He acted like another person, his personality changed and he became a psychopath.
His normal demeanor changed and then…
Something is waiting for Minato. Where Minato was clueless as a moron.
