I go home since we're not practicing at the wonder stage today. Then, I hear a knock on my door. I go to open it.

I open it to Rui "R-Rui..?"

Rui looks at me with an unreadable expression. All I know is that it wasn't a happy expression.

"I talked to Nene." He says

I gasp. "Wh.. What did she say..?"

Rui's bottom lip quivers. "She told me how she felt about you and me."

I step outside and close the door. "I.. I'm sorry."

Rui looks confused🤨 "For what?"

"For making your life so confusing ever since I joined it."

Rui hugs me. "You didn't do anything wrong."

I start remembering more memories, but I don't say anything about it. Instead I say "D-Did you say anything to Nene after she told you that..?"

"No." Rui says, "She ran away after she told me."

Rui breaks the hug. "I'll try to talk to her again tomorrow. You have nothing to be sorry about."

I smile 🙂. "Thank you."

"If anything, I'm the one that should be sorry."

My smile breaks into a 😧 face. "Wh-What?! You didn't do anything!"

"I'm the one who brought this pressure up upon you. Of course I should be sorry."

"N-No!" I exclaim, hugging him. "Please.. Don't think you did anything wrong.."

I hear Rui gasp as he hugs me back. It was silent after that. I feel like time has stopped as Rui and I stand in front of my front door hugging each other.

Rui and I stand up from our seats to leave the room

"Y/N.." Rui starts, "Can you come with me to talk to Nene...?"

My face goes 😳 "Wh-Why? Wouldn't that make it so Nene wouldn't want to talk?"

Rui shakes his head. "Please."

It's hard to say noo to Rui so i say "Okay.. Fine." Rui takes me to Nene

"Nene." He says as we walks up to her.

"Rui.!" She exclaims. "And... Y/N..😒."

"Nene." Rui says "We're here to talk to you about-"

"I don't want to talk to you about that! I want Y/N to leave us alone!"

Rui and I gasp. 😨. "But.. Nene.." Rui says.

"Ever since you met Y/N my life has been falling apart!" Nene cries, "You haven't been paying much attention to me and all you ever talk about is Y/N Y/N Y/N!!!! 😭😤"

"Nene, I.." I start, "I'll leave." I leave.

"Y/N!" Rui grabs my hand "Please.. No.."

"B-But Rui..! I don't want to-"

Rui kisses me.
