十六 sixteen
Heart FeltChiaki went home exactly 7PM, Dori didnt bring her home because Chiaki doesnt want so instead she took the bus that night and went straight home.
From: Keito
How are you today? Wanna go out tomorrow?
Keito, that night went to Chanyeol's club to play, together with Kei and Yabu who was still injured and has on his hand."I can manage to play alone dont worry" Keito tapped Yabu's shoulder as he smiled and he nodded "Oh, Ill play also today" Chanyeol butted in as he looked at Keito who smiled at him. "Can we talk?" He nodded and excused himself as they both went on the VIP lounge as per Chanyeol.
"Keito, are you and Chiaki?" He asked as Keito smiled. "Dont give me a smile, yes or no" "No" He said as Chanyeol leaned his back on the couch and crossed his arms. "What are you doing? Do you know this bartender of Matsumoto-san?" Keito looked at Chanyeol knowing what he is talking about. "What is with him?" He asked. Chanyeol sitted carefully as he grabbed a drink infront of him as he looked intently at his eyes.
"Chiaki wont be at fault here, but- arent you going too easy goin?" He asked seriously.
"Just go straight at the point okay?" He said annoyingly.
"I saw Chiaki at the park a while ago, with Yoshi-san and they looked happy" Keito just chuckled and shook his head. "Maybe its not Chiaki" He said but deep inside he got this tingling feeling he cant describe. Could it be that he is the guy she is talking about? He asked himself.
Chanyeol stood up squeezed the lad's shoulder as he sighed "If you are serious at Chiaki, then dont hesitate to show what you can do. You dont know who will come by to get her." Then left the lounge.
He immediately texted her that night, but got no response. Could it be possibly that the childhood friend she was talking to is that guy? That night, Keito got wasted and ended up not playing on the bar.
The next day was never any better, as Chiaki was about to go inside her office she saw Keito holding his helmet as her heart wont deny it flutters for him as the guy looked at him smiling, not the usual one.
"Are you okay?" Chiaki asked as Keito smiled fixing Chiaki's bangs so he can see her face. "Just here to wait for you today" He smiled as she nodded. "This is that one project you worked so hard with right?" He pats her head as she nodded hugging the files on her chest as she raised her fist smiling at him "Ill do best today" Keito nodded, pulled Chiaki on his embrace and plants a kiss on her forehead that made Chiaki frozen at her place. She doesnt know what to react at all as he let go and caress her cheek. "Ill be cheering here downstairs" She nodded then dashed off the building.
That project was what Chiaki was working hard for almost months now, she may not look like busy but actually she really does. After almost three months of no sleep, arguments, and anxiety that day comes and she didnt expect to see Keito there after the deliberation. "Hey!" She approached the guy who was sitting on his bike holding onto his helmet. "You really didnt went anywhere?"
"What do you think?" He said as he messed her hair and she shook her head.
"Ah! Is Chiaki concerned about me?" He chuckled as Chiaki suddenly opened the clearfile she is holding and showed it to Keito. "nae, I got the proposal" She beamed at him as Keito was suprised.
"I actually know youll got it. Thats why Im here" He laughs as Chiaki closed the file and looked at him. "Oh yea, why are you here by the way?" She asked.
"To give you my own proposal" He said bluntly as Chiaki widened her eyes. "HA?"
"Just kidding, to actually cheer up for you" He chuckled as Chiaki remembered that Dori invited them to a hotspring. "Ah, by the way. I asked Satomi and Rein also. But do you want to go to the hotspring with us?" Keito tilted his head, scratched his head as he looked at her. "It would be much better if its just two of us, but with me as the only guy?" Chiaki shot him a glare as she pulled his cheeks and uttered "The one who invited me is a guy also, so if you would mind?" She keeps on pulling his cheeks as Keito looked at her.
"A guy? Who?" She let go and looked at Keito. "A friend of mine"
Is this the guy Chanyeol talking about? Keito thought as he nodded at Chiaki "Of course, who am I to say no to you?" He said as Chiaki looked at him and trapped his cheeks using her index finger and thumb making him pout "You never act like that, tell me whats on your mind"
"you" Keito said directly making Chiaki let go of his cheek. "im not kiddin, ive been like this since last night. i was even drunk" he chuckled as Chiaki looked at him worriedly. "Is there something wrong?" He just shook his head and looked at her.
Before the hotspring day, Chiaki decided to let Keito and Dori meet, she dontknow but somehow theres this gut that she needs to let the two meet. Plus, to introduce Dori to Keito. Chiaki arrived first at the cafe together with Keito but he just went somewhere to buy something, Dori arrived not later as he met with Chiaki at the cafe.
"Dori-kun!" Chiaki waved at him excitedly as he approached her.
"You are with him?" She nods as Dori nodded back. "Well, lets see how this guy can stay long" he smiled as Chiaki tilted her head.
"Chiaki, I bought it already" Keito arrived as he and Dori met eyes.
Chiaki looked back and forth between Keito and Dori who obviously exhibits an invisible lighting bolt on their eyes as they laid eyes on each other. She knows these two wont do well with each other especially if Dori would always tell that "Iam the fiancee" which makes Chiaki explain everything from the start for Keito to understand, but Dori would always give off this sign to back off if Keito aint serious at all.
"Look, ill drop formalities okay" Dori said putting his arms above the table and looked at the guy infront of him.
"I like Chiaki" He said, Chiaki choked on her drink as Keito gave Chiaki a tissue ensuring she is fine. "I know, its quite obvious" He met eyes with Dori as he nodded. "If you arent serious---" He cut off the guys sentence and smiled "You may be the fiancee, but ill make sure ill be the husabnad at the end" he said making Dori smiled "Then, may the bes man wins?" He said as Chiaki cleared and looked at the two of them.
"Actually, Im here" She said.
"We know, and we are both here to tell you we are serious bout you" Dori said looking at Chiaki as Keito stares at Chiaki who is now feeling awkward.
"Chiaki, it will be fine" He gave a smile as Dori looked at them.
"Actually, dont dare to act sweet infront of me" He smiled putting his hood on just staring at them.
"Can you two give me time then?" Chiaki said and the both nodded at her giving her a reassuring smile.
Why do i think this will be very difficult?
