*Miku POV*

After school I decided to listen to some music on the school rooftop. I went up to the school rooftop, when I open the door I see a boy. A boy crying and sobbing, that boy was Shizuki san. Why was he crying though? He didn't even come to school this morning. Why is he on the school rooftop. I try calling out his name.

Miku: "Shizuki san?"

He turn to face me with tears still coming out of his eye. When he saw me he quickly wipe away his tears. After he was done wiping away his tears he spoke.

Kenji: "what are you doing here, nakano san?"

Miku: "I was just going to listen to some music on the school rooftop. That's why I come here."

Kenji: "I see. Pardon me for interrupting you then." He say while standing up from his sit.

Miku: "no." I said while grabbing onto his shirt.

Kenji: "eh?"

Miku: "stay here, I want to talk to you more."

I really want to know about him more. Why he was crying earlier. Why he didn't attend class today. Why he didn't talk to anyone. Why he prefers to be alone. I want to know all the reason behind that.

Kenji: "what is it that you want to talk about?" When he said that I release his shirt that I was grabbing.

Miku: "take a sit first Shizuki san"

He sit on the bench beside me.

Miku: "say Shizuki san, why did you cry earlier?"

Kenji: "nothing important, I just remembered something in the past."

I didn't expect a forward answer but this is not what I expected either. His past huh?

Miku: "what did you do that make you cry very hard like that?"

He suddenly stand up and walk away from his seat.

Kenji: "if you just going to ask me about my past or myself I will go. See you tomorrow." He said while walking away to the exit.

Miku: "wait!"

He turn to look at me with a emotionless face. But at the same time it look like a sad face that he's making. Maybe he doesn't want to talk about his past. I should ask him that another time.

Miku: "if you don't want to talk about your past that's fine. I ask you another question." He stop looking at me and go back to the bench he sit earlier.

Kenji: "why do you want to know more about me anyway, nakano san?"

Miku: "because you seem interesting to talk to. You didn't care I sit beside you in class. You didn't even talk to me in class. That's what make me curious about you."

Kenji: "I see. Then forgive me for my bad behavior."

Miku: "it isn't bad but it isn't good either. "

Kenji: "what do you mean?"

Miku: "the way you treat people around you is not wrong. But it's not right either. You should talk to people at least a bit you know."

Kenji: "if you don't know the reason behind it stay out. Don't butt in other people business. You know nothing about me nakano san."

Miku: "at least, can I ask you one more question."

Kenji: "what is it?"

Miku: "why do you prefer to be alone and why didn't you try to talk to anyone?"

From standing in front of me, he go and lean on the wall and start looking at his hand.

Kenji: "you can say that I don't want to lose someone I love anymore. Loving someone hurt but it also make you happy. Being with them make you happy but seeing they leave hurt."

After he answered my question it was an awkward silence between us. He didn't talk or move neither did myself.

He has a big burden on his back but he keep it all to himself. He has a reason to be alone while i just prefer to be alone. I decided to break the ice but Shizuki san talk first.

Kenji: "ne nakano san?"

Miku: "yes."

Kenji: "you ask me before right? Why did I prefer to be alone. Actually I do not. To be precise, I don't like being alone. I also want a normal highschool life. I want some friends, join a club again and show the world what I'm capable of. I guess it's not wrong telling you this. But can you promise me."

Miku: "promise you?"

Kenji: "yes promise me not to tell anyone about what I'm going to tell you. I only tell a couple people around me about this. I didn't even tell my parents about this."

Is he going to tell me his past. I don't think so, because he said not even his parents know about this maybe it's something else.

Miku: "I promise."

Kenji: "I once had a dream. A dream to sing and play for the world. It was quite a stupid dream actually. At first I thought It's better to forget that dream and find a real job instead. But there's this one person that encourage me not to give up. She was the first person I ever tell about my passion. She was my reason that I'm still dreaming about that. But I guess a dream is always a dream, it could never be real, reality sure is cruel. One day she left, it hurt my soul that she is gone. My passion for singing begin to fade. Because that person that keep me going was her. But now that she's gone my dream also left with her. Even though I love singing, I love her more. Until today I still remember she told me not to give up, she told me that I have amazing voice but I did give up. I guess I disappointed her don't you think. I still sing but only as a hobby. I play the guitar too. I got that guitar as a give from my dad."

It's an amazing story I must say. It was really touching how he got an inspiration to sing again but lost it. That's why I saw him singing peacefully at the beach that day. Maybe he was thinking about her while he was singing. Should I tell him that I already know he can sing. I guess I should.

Miku: "umm Shizuki san?"

Kenji: "yes."

Miku: "I already know you can sing."

Kenji: "I see, then I already found the person that watching me sing that day. It was you, I'm grateful."

Miku: "your voice is amazing Shizuki san. You should join the light music club or something."

Kenji: "I'm planning to. But I don't think I would really join."

Miku: "can you tell me more about yourself Shizuki san?"

Kenji: "look at the time nakano san. It's already late. Your family might be worrying about you."

I look at my phone and it was past 6. My sister would be worrying about me.

Miku: "I guess I should head home before my sister's start worrying about me. See you tomorrow Suzuki san." I said as I got up and walk to the exit.

Kenji: "wait nakano san." I turn to face him.

Miku: "what?"

Kenji: "I remember seeing you with four other girls around your age. Is that your sister's."

Miku: "yes that are all my sister's. We're quintuplets. And I'm the 3rd one."

Kenji: "well quintuplets a rare case, but okay. I see you tomorrow then nakano san."

Miku: "miku."

Kenji: "eh?"

Miku: "call me miku"

Kenji: "I understand, see you tomorrow miku." I nodded

While I'm at the stair I turn to face him one last time.

Miku: "see you tomorrow kenji kun."

When I call him that he turn around immediately. With his eyes open wide. Did he not like it or is he just surprised. I decided to drop it and went home.

*Kenji POV*

When she call me that. It brings me a lot of memories. I take my phone from my pocket and open the gallery.

Maya is this what people call sweet memories. I really wish to see you again. But that's impossible. I will find my new light. Maybe it's in her, who knows. Miku, I promise not to let you go like the others. Maya this time I will not let you down. I will keep our promise this time. Takahashi-san I will not let your energy go to waste. And izumi I will keep remembering what you told me, that true man must keep they're promise.

I went home after that. When I get back I change and go to sleep immediately.

Maya, izumi. Sorry for not saving you before but right now I will protect the people I love more than myself.

______________________________________

So this chapter is shorter than usual. I'm sorry about that. And one more thing, I will change kenji past into another thing. At first I was going to make his past about his friend but that didn't seem to work out. I will also change the nightmare that he got on chapter two. And with that being said I'm off to take a short break.

Shintooru out!
