𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐒, 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 ➤ mitsuya takashi (ft. rindou).

Eight.

Little Luna and Mana thought that you'll forever be with their lovely older brother, but shit happened, you were suddenly gone. And it made them realize that those happy endings in the book were never going to happen in real life.

Because you and Mitsuya, who seemed to be the perfect couple in their eyes, didn't end up with each other. What more of those cheap fictional characters?

"Is he better than our brother?" Mana asked, forehead crease.

This time, it was Mitsuya who choked. "Mana, we didn't come here to talk about that."

"Then what, nii-chan? Shouldn't you be pursuing Y/n-nee-chan again?"

You averted your gaze and looked at Ren who's just staring at his drink, unrealistically behaving and quiet for a couple of minutes already. It must be because he doesn't like the vibe between the four of you.

He shouldn't be pursuing you. He let you go for a reason. Why would he want a cheater back? Just thinking about the past makes you want to erase your memories.

All that shit.

It seems that after Mitsuya broke up with you, all those happy memories with him turned into a shattered glass. Even happy memories turned into sad and horrible one, you didn't even want to recall.

"No," Mitsuya exclaimed. "Luna, Mana, just sit there at that table and order whatever you want. Okay?"

Luna stood up and dragged her sister with her while making a grumpy face. You mean, there's validity in their feelings but was it really necessary to act like that in front of you?

You heaved a sigh when they were gone from your sight.

"I'm sorry about them."

"No, that's fine. So, what did you really want to talk about?"

"I know you don't want to talk about what happened before, but Y/n, I missed you."

As soon as you arrived at your house, a message from Rindou popped on the screen of your phone.

(1) Hi, princess. Wanted to ask you out on a dinner date but I'm gonna hang out with Haruchiyo for a bit. °^°
(2) Call you later. :>
(3) Also message me when you're done with work.
(4) It's Haru's threat ;)

At the sight of his cute emoticons, you couldn't help but smile but also squinted when you read his messages. Hang out with Sanzu?

Why was he using his first name? Already on a first name basis? What the heck?

Instead of replying to him, you dialed his number but to no avail we wouldn't answer your calls. You wanted to think that his phone was just on silent mode but as you thought, you couldn't help but think that he's purposely ignoring you.

That's overthinking for you.

You threw yourself on your bed, not minding if you're still wearing your office clothes. You undo your hair tie and comb your hair in frustration when on your third call and he still isn't answering his phone.

And that's it, that's the last string of your patience.

You decided to call Ran. Who knows, maybe he'll know where his brother is.

"No, I don't. Shouldn't you be the one who knows? You're the girlfriend, Y/n. Why? Is he missing?"

Nope, Ran isn't the answer. Next up on the list is Aimi.

"Uh, Sanzu? He said yesterday he's gonna meet up with his sister who belongs to a band group, Brahman. I don't exactly know where but I guess he mentioned this newly opened bar. Why?"

"Uh, nothing. Just uh, anyway, that's all. Thank you for the information."

"Are you undercover—" You didn't let her finish and ended the call.

Now, you have a lead. You'll have to see for yourself why Rindou isn't answering your phone calls.

Once you arrived at the said bar, you didn't hesitate to go inside and what welcomed you was the loud music blasting from the large speaker on every corner of the building.

Fuck, your eardrum could explode any moment.

Despite this, you decided to look for Rindou and see if he's really with Sanzu.

You wouldn't do this if only that Sanzu didn't spout nonsense such as saying he might be Rindou's soulmate. And now you're worried when you knew yourself Rindou wouldn't leave you for anyone else.

But! You just want to see for yourself, it's not that you don't trust him. It's Sanzu Haruchiyo you don't trust.

You roamed the bar and finally, on the table at the corner you could clearly see his purple highlighted hair sitting beside a pink haired male (which is Sanzu) and in front of a woman.

You recognize her immediately, it was "Senju". The vocalist of the band Brahman. And not only her, all of the members of the band were sitting on the same table with Rindou. Of course, Draken was there.

Courage filled you so you decided to walk towards their table but immediately halted your steps when you heard Senju speak. As if the speaker got muted. "So, how does it feel to finally meet your soulmate, Haitani?"

Rindou curved a smile, picking up his shot glass, "Quite interesting."

"Dude, what am I, some sort of a show?"

"So, are you saying you're interested in Haru-niichan?" Senju asked in a teasing tone, hand clasped together.

"Oi, Senju. What are you asking? You know he already has a girlfriend." The yellow-violet haired male interrupted.

"I know, but like… that's what he was meaning to say, Wakasa."

Rindou took a sip from his glass, "Well, maybe I am."

"Ohhh!" The table got filled with teases for Rindou.

Your shoulder dropped. You know that you shouldn't be drawing conclusions from such words but it's the tiredness that's speaking.

But instead of walking away, you trudge towards their table, pulling Rindou up without any warning.

"He's mine!"
