The silence inside the living room wasn't deafening but it was quite obvious that there is something wrong. Your Mom looked at you while you were busy reading something on your laptop. It's 9:30 in the morning, everyone is out while you're seated on the matted floor.
She walks holding a glass of blue lemonade and put it down on the small glass coffee table. You looked up at her when you sense her near you.
"Don't forget to drink when working...You've been in front of that laptop for 3 hours now."
You blink your eyes before taking off your lens. "Ohh, I was just preparing for the twin's birthday. I'm looking for some ideas on the internet," you explained. Your mom gave you a bright smile as if she won a grand prize. You timidly smile at her.
"Is that so? Then we must better prepare for it!" Your mom was indeed excited about the birthday party and that's the same thing with you. Even though you're troubled about the Bonten, you still have time to prepare for their birthday celebration.
You pursed your lips as your eyelids blink slowly while looking at your mom who was entering the kitchen area. Just when she wasn't around anymore, you run your hand in your hair as a sigh left out on you.
Strangely enough to think what Takemichi said to you. You take out your phone and look at the pictures of the twins. You're missing them so much right now. You stand up and looked outside the open window. Since you're wearing something decent, you didn't hesitate to go outside and have a little walk but you never forget to wear your mask.
You felt guilty for not knowing something even just a few details. Even if you asked Yuzuha back then, she will talk but she'll never say what happened here either.
You're about to step one more time when you heard some ruckus. People were surrounding something and there were two cops. Curiously, you walked slowly and asked someone.
"Excuse me," you uttered then looked at the tall guy with the most white skin you've seen just now. That guy looked at you calmly.
"Yeah?"
"Mind sharing with me what happened here?" You inquired. The white man blinked for a while before looking back at the people in front of the two of you.
"One of the missing ladies was found dead and naked with bruises and wounds."
Your eyes widen as you felt your small hair stand up. Your heart thumps loudly and you suddenly felt the air go cold. There's only one word in your head.
Bonten.
"Is that so..."
Because of your curiosity, you tried to look at the dead person. Your sweats went cold. The woman is dead with bruises and wounds. From where you're standing you can see the details of the burned skin that are certainly coming from the cigarettes.
Her face is not even recognizable. Your stomach turns and seemed that the food you ate wants to go out. You run past the guy earlier as you went to the corner to puke. You take out the things inside you until there's no more.
"Here..." Bottled water met your eyes. You accepted it without hesitation and looked at the guy coldly.
"Don't worry I didn't put anything on it," he calmly said. You accept the bottle and still didn't believe him. You check the bottle silently.
"Thanks." You open the bottle and drink the water. While drinking, you notice that the guy was still looking at you. You put down the bottle and think that he might actually want to drink too that's why you offered it to him.
"I never thought that models would be this careless or it's just you," he said monotonously which made you look at him with puckering brows, and then you slowly pull up the face mask.
"When did drinking become so careless?"
The guy blinked once then wandered his eyes around then he said, "You should never take your mask off in public places."
You pursed your lips behind your mask. Well, he's actually right for you to argue back. You're a superstar model so there's no way that a stranger will ever know you without any mask or simple disguises.
"Well, then thanks for the water...Mr??" You look up at him waiting to tell him his name. He looks into your eyes.
"Inui. I bet you'll forget that name Miss L/n."
You clicked your tongue. He sounds sarcastic but then you just let it be. He might be a fan too since he knows your name or he just probably knows you but is not a fan.
"I gotta go, thanks again, Inue-san." You look at him for the last time before walking off the place.

Inside a certain bar, the smell of sex is already common when reaching the main part of the bar. Everything illegal are existing. Prostitutes, drugs, and criminals are gathering each day and night.
Two huge people went inside the dark room holding two young ladies wearing school uniforms. They were pale and beautiful. Both of them have blood stains under their thighs.
They were tossed like trash bags on the bed. They have their consciousness but they don't have the strength to move because of the drugs that were injected into them.
They don't have a voice to ask for help but to pray in their minds as their tears fell hopelessly.
"Damn it! Why did I let that pig run away!"
The mad voice echoed madly in the hallway that reached the room which made the two men look behind the door and waited for their boss to get in. Just when they're about to say something, Sanzu the Vice President of Bonten let out a chuckle.
"Oh, look what we have here..." Although he didn't get closer and just stay at the threshold, he can see awful scenery.
"Young ladies should really stay at home." He pursed his lips after saying sarcastic words before he left and went to the main place where everyone is around.
Becoming so close to Mikey is what he desires and no one ever knows why he really wanted to be with Mikey. Once he entered the specific room, he wandered his eyes around. Sanzu knew something that everyone doesn't know about.
He saw his mates on the sofa and the couch, while their boss is silently munching his favourite snack. That's the thing that didn't change in him.
"Where have you been?" He pursed his lips after hearing Mikey's cold voice.
"Sorry for being late though. I just cleaned something that could be a bug to us," he lazily uttered as he looked for a space. He looked at the guy sitting silently on the sofa while playing the metal match.
Rindou didn't bother looking up at the madman who was looking at him. Sanzu sat next to him and grabbed the whiskey glass on the small glass table which is Rindou's drink.
While Sanzu drinks the whiskey, the man with silver long hair wearing red clothes started the conversation.
"I already deleted all the footage..."
A teasing smile appeared on someone's face. "As expected to our Koko..."
Ran teased as he blow the smoke out of his mouth. Hajime Kokonoi raised an eyebrow as he lean on the sofa and crossed his arms.
"Shut up..."
Ran clicked his tongue lazily as he put the cigarette on his lips. "What's the plan then?"
Ran looked at his younger brother who seemed unbothered but he knows that he was only thinking of a certain person right now.
"That nameless gang is messing up with us. Our organization's been the tea right now because of missing people right now and will show up dead. And I found out that there's someone who's spying on us..." Kokonoi raised his hawk eyes to his peers who were listening to him.
Everyone didn't say a word nor react to the words that were announced.
"We can take that person down if we act like we don't care about them. With one wrong move, they can sabotage our plans. That spy might be a friend, family, or a lover." Kokonoi crossed his legs and lean on the couch.
Suddenly, the sound of plastic went after Koko's voice. Mikey's deadly eyes look at each of them as he throws the plastic on the table.
"Kill that spy. I don't care who they are in your life if you still want to live."
Then the silver-haired guy went out followed by Kokonoi. Takeomi on the corner sipped on his favourite comfort, cigarette.
"I'll kill you if you're the spy, Takeomi," Sanzu uttered nonchalantly not even looking at him. Takeomi pulled out his phone.
"Beat me."
"I would love to."
The siblings were throwing words at each other the reason why Rindou stood up.
"I gotta go." He uttered putting down the metal match. All eyes went up at him. Sanzu puckered and stand up to grab Rindou's shoulder.
"Are you the spy?"
Rindou glared at Sanzu then he harshly pushed Sanzu's hands. "You son of bitch, shut the fuck up."
Rindou rolled his eyes the reason why Sanzu chuckled and looked at Ran. "I bet he's like that because of my cousin."
Ran followed his brother's fading silhouette as he pursed his lips.
"Beat me." Ran smiled sweetly at Sanzu and tapped his shoulder. "Wanna race?"
"How many?"
Ran hissed then shrugged his shoulder. "How 'bout 1 million?"

Driving suddenly became his escape when he was bothered. He stopped his car on the side of the city then he looked at the billboard. The elegant face of his mother was there but then followed by someone who he can't forget yet to forgive.
On the screen, Rindou examines your face. When your brows move, he remembers how those two puckered when glaring at him. When you slowly blink your eyes and how your eyelashes match them, he remembers how you looked at him innocently. The tip of your nose is one of his favourites. When you smile, he remembers how you throw sweet and stingy words at him. When your dimples showed up, he remembers how you laugh at his funny or lame jokes.
Biting his lips he muttered something, "It's not my loss."
Rindou stepped on the gas and drive as fast as he could. After driving, he reached a place that he barely visits. Reaching the sixth floor of the tallest condominium, Rindou presses the bell. After a few seconds, the door opens showing the pale young woman who is wearing a red nightie.
His lavender eyes bore into her hazelnut eyes. Shocked by what she's seeing right now, Achiko let Rindou in her unit.
"Rindou, it's been a while since you visit me," Achiko uttered as she watched Rindou walk until reaching the living room. "How are you? Do you want anything? I'll prepare it right away."
"I'm good. Did I interrupt your sleep?" Rindou asked then looked at the young lady. He saw that her fair skin turns into a pinkish one. Rindou doesn't feel anything to the young lady but to feel emptiness.
"I was just about to go to sleep."
Back then, Rindou would kiss her just seeing her right away but it's different now. He'll never do it.
"I just came here to see if you're doing well. Make sure to take your medicine." After finishing his words, Rindou stood up and decided to leave the place but Achiko stopped him by holding onto his arms.
"Wait..."
Rindou's brows rose as he looked down at the sick lady. Achiko parted her pale lips as she romantically stare at him. It was as if, he was the only person that exist in her eyes. Just by the stare, she tip-toed and reach for his lips. Rindou didn't move it's not because he was shocked. It's because he knows that this will happen.
Achiko is sick, and he's staying because of that. That's the only reason why until now she's seeing this girl. She means a lot to him back then and to feel the same feelings is impossible.
Her lips moves and slowly sipped his lips. She gently nibbles his lips. When Rindou feels that she's trying to enter her tongue, he stopped Achiko by holding onto her shoulder.
"Achiko, you should rest now," he uttered. Although he noticed Achiko's sadness, he didn't give in. He put his hand on her head. A small smile appeared on his face.
"If I'm not busy, I guess we can go out..."
He does feel that Achiko's still hoping that they can start again. If only no one begged for him to stay with her, Rindou might never be here.
But then he remembered, this was his choice and he didn't regret staying.

Your stay in japan has ended and it seems useless. You didn't even find a lead on your own. You went to the places where Mikey could go but he wasn't there.
You already finished packing your things and put them in the car. You still have a lot of things to do to prepare for the upcoming birthday of your twins.
You're on your phone while sitting in the business class area. Looking for a good theme for the birthday and also asking Senju for help. Senju helped you to find the perfect venue. That day, your friends will be invited. That is the very first day that they will see your children.
It's a double surprise, I guess.
You don't have problems with how much it will cost. Anything for them just to see their precious smile. When it's time for you to go, someone snatched your phone which catches your attention.
"Hey give that back to me!"
"You're still cute when puckering, Y/n."
Your brows furrowed at Haruchiyo. You wonder why the fuck he was here and recognizes you in your disguise. Haru was wearing casual clothes and you saw that he has luggage with him.
"Haru..."
The lanky pursed his lips and then looked at your phone. He smiled after seeing what was on your phone as if he knew something.
He gives back your phone to you and said, "They'd probably be lucky to have you as their mother..."
You were shocked by what he said.
"Of course I know, Y/n. I want to meet them too..."
You greeted your teeth. You suddenly get goosebumps. Haruchiyo is a different person now. He's dangerous and you'll never know what will happen if he lay his fingers on your children.
"You'll meet me first before you lay your hands on them," you uttered coldly. Haruchiyo just shrugged his shoulder and then looked behind you.
"Too bad, Rindou doesn't know but he'll probably know soon...Watch out, my dear cousin."
You looked behind you and there you saw him. Wearing a white long sleeve that is neatly tucked into his black slacks. It's a common dress code but he looks perfectly well. You sucked the inside of your cheeks when your eyes meet and probably that was the sign for you to leave now.
You gave Haruchiyo a last glance before leaving. If you're anyone else maybe you have already called the police but right now, you want to know something. It's against the law and the government. However, neither of those two knows that you know who's the Bonten.
At least before they get caught, you will know something.
