“Kagak,” there was a brief friction sound.
“… Oh sorry. Did you disturb me?”
Mu’s posture was disturbed for a moment.
No matter how it was broken, the sword, which drew a crooked trajectory, ended with a sharp point at the end.
A weak sword wind blew, and dust flew around.
In the meantime, Mu’s face, which slowly turned to me, was drenched in sweat.
It seems that he was concentrating on his training, and his eyes, which were colored with a well-polished momentum, were also clear.
“Oh, no. What is the obstruction?”
Mew looked at me and shook her head. Her hair, which seemed to be tied together for training, was swaying from side to side.
Mu was wearing a simple lined tracksuit. Perhaps because of sweating a lot, the zipper on the jacket was unzipped all the way down.
A pure white tank top was visible inside. A slim waist. Her bare skin, as white and fine as snow, was glistening with sweat and seemed to flow again.
I have no idea how such a formidable power comes out of such a slender body. Is this the mystery of the human body or what? …
—Surreung, Tak.
Mew put the sword into its sheath. It seems to be slowly ending. He used to say that he didn’t interfere, but for some reason he felt like he was quitting because of me, so I was embarrassed.
The dance hall was somewhat quiet.
I asked as I approached Mew.
“So, who was here but you?”
“Uh, um… … ”
Mew scanned her forehead with the back of her hand, and answered with contemplation.
“I must have been alone two hours ago… … ?”
“what. really?”
did you lie to me They.
No. You said that you’re usually only at the dance hall around dinner time, so there’s no rule that you have to be here all the time.
Mew had been here two hours earlier than that. He must have been wielding the sword ever since. That’s great. I wonder if I eat rice and practice.
“Who are you looking for… ?”
Mu asked me cautiously. Then, with a ji-ik-, he secretly zipped up the jacket. From the shallowly recalled face, hot breaths burst out intermittently.
It seems like it’s always been like this before, but it’s Mew, who secretly hated to show me such a disheveled image. He seemed to be ashamed without knowing it. As proof of that, when I try to get closer to him, he stumbles backwards and backs away little by little.
He roughly spoke from a distance enough to face Mew and talk.
“There is a male student in our class named Hector. I had something to say to her. But because there is nothing… … ”
I guess I’ll just have to go somewhere else. I have to tell Hector the time of the group meeting tomorrow.
Even after hearing the exact name from me, Mew didn’t seem to remember anyone. He just tilted his head and expressed his doubts.
… Come to think of it, this guy didn’t pay much attention to other people. Just by looking at Sasha’s case right now, you can clearly see that.
Originally, I thought that I had a very selfish personality when it comes to making friends, but after entering here, only the cold wind was blowing, as if I was going to be alone for 5 years.
I was very worried about Mu’s friendship like that. To be honest, I have to think about whether I am in a position to be worried about Mew now. I also had a lot of problems with the right friendship relationship in many ways. Among them, there were also problems related to mu. Probably, in a very large proportion.
After hearing that the person I was looking for wasn’t here, Mew nodded.
“I’ll tell you when I see you later. then… … ”
I don’t know if you’re saying that because you know what Hector looks like.
Mew, who was drenched in sweat and was holding the zipper up to the end of her neck, looked away from me and quietly grabbed the scabbard and tried to move. The direction was towards the gate of the dance hall.
“Wait, Mew.”
“… … ”
I turned my head. I saw Mu’s back. I couldn’t see the expression on my face when I called. So, after taking a short breath, Mew carefully turned around and looked at me. At first glance, nervousness and anxiety met Mew’s purple eyes that seemed to be young.
“Why why… ?”
“That friend had a business, but in fact, you also had a business. When were you going to talk?”
“… … Oh yes. I see But I have an urgent business right now… … ”
“no. I am more urgent.”
“… … ”
it’s a lie anyway Besides, it’s very clumsy. Does he really think his lies will work for me? I already knew he wasn’t good at that sort of thing. You probably know it yourself.
Just, that’s it. Mew wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Mew shut her mouth at my firm words. His eyes, which could not be reconciled, eventually turned to the floor of the gymnasium.
I walked towards Mu again.
Taking a step, Mew took a step back.
Then I take one more step. I stumble one after another, but in the end, Mew catches up with me.
Kwok.
To prevent him from escaping any further, he grabbed Mew’s wrist. Mew’s eyes, which were dyed in surprise, widened slightly.
However, as soon as she meets my eyes, it quickly fades away as if she had guessed what I was going to say.
If he wanted to, he could get away with my hand as much as he could, but he didn’t. I quietly wait for the moment my mouth opens.
“Last time, I asked you to talk to me when I had free time.”
“… … ”
Just like Rubia.
I had to talk to Mew too.
However.
“Since then, you have been avoiding me, you.”
“… … ”
“Actually, nothing is wrong. Talk to me.”
“… … ”
Since the last time he refused to talk to me, Mew has been avoiding me.
It’s not like I didn’t do it before. There have been quite a few times when we almost ran into each other while living in the same space, and whenever that opportunity arises, Mew abruptly turns his or her back, or if he feels like someone is watching me from afar, that’s usually the case. In many cases, it was Mu.
It was clear that he was trying to seal the possibility from the source in case he accidentally ran into me while passing by.
He was deliberately avoiding me. This guy.
“Blood, I didn’t avoid it… ”
“No, what is it? Do you think I didn’t even notice that much? You’re still trying to run away.”
“… … ”
A little resistance felt in the wrist holding it.
He seemed to want to get out of here quickly.
I couldn’t leave it like that.
“Talk to me. I have something to tell you and something I want to hear. If you drag it like this, you and I will both lose.”
His face was serious and his voice was serious.
Seeing me like that, Mew opened her mouth slightly, then closed it again. The pupils, who were immersed in anxiety, also shook slightly. The gap between the exhaled breaths became a little narrower, and the resistance of the wrist holding it became slightly stronger.
When was the last time you spoke firmly to Mew in this way? I can’t even remember
He restrained himself from making jokes that crossed the line with me, but would that include the fact that he acted coldly because he was rude when he was teased at times?
Anyway, not much For Mew, my current mood would have been completely unfamiliar.
My tightly closed lips did not open. He was waiting for Mu’s reply to return.
An eternity of silence passed between the two of us. A colder air blew in the still silent dance hall.
“Ahh… … ”
My eyebrows twitched.
Mew’s gaze shook unstablely. Unfamiliar words were mixed in the sharply rough breath.
He seemed terrified.
… Why?
He even shakes his head a little to see what he wants to deny. Mew opened his mouth slowly, looking at a place other than me.
“I don’t like it… I, I will go.”
Mew raised her arms. was trying to get rid of it. Before that, I held Mew’s wrist tighter.
“Where are you going? Do you want to talk?”
What. What is it that makes you so avoid talking to me? Running away won’t solve anything. Mew wouldn’t even know that. If you run away from here, where are you going? In the end, the same vicious cycle just repeats itself.
“Oh, no… later, later huh? Gee, that’s not the case now. yet… … ”
“When is later? You’re going to keep avoiding me like this. In that case, just talk now. Don’t procrastinate.”
“Oh, don’t avoid it. I didn’t avoid it. Because I didn’t avoid it… huh? Let’s talk later. please. Please, please. Ezio.”
woowook. The resistance soon became so strong that he could not stand it. As a result, my strength holding Mew’s wrist increased again and again.
At some point, Mew’s head and shoulders were still vibrating with a shallow tremor, and his breathing, which had been still tight, began to exhale quickly, with a thicker and hotter breath.
The events in the lake filled with tears in the eyes that shook like ripples. This appearance of Mew, who was always bold, was only somewhat unfamiliar. To the point where I’m not used to it at all.
“What is this, please? you’re just talking It won’t be that difficult. Why are you doing this?”
“Oh, no. difficult. Because it’s difficult… … ”
“What did you do to me? No. I heard everything from Rubia. I also understood the situation to some extent. I didn’t keep my promise on your birthday. Then it’s my fault. I have to apologize to you. It’s nothing other than that. I have no idea why you are avoiding me.”
Even thinking about it now makes my heart flutter.
I was the one who couldn’t keep the promise. A promise to make Mu’s birthday a happy one. On the day I said I saved Rubia, Mew must have been waiting for me in front of the fountain in the square earlier to keep my promise.
But what kind of expression did you make when you think of me, who doesn’t come after a long time? Just imagining it will make your teeth clench naturally.
Even if there were unavoidable circumstances, the wounds that Mew would have received… … Because it will never be erased.
Then Mew had to blame me. Instead of avoiding me, I had to find out even if I was hiding and swear at me.
I should have fully accepted those harsh words. As long as it can relieve Mew’s old feelings, that’s enough. Of course, a few words are not enough.
“Why are you saying you can’t talk to me?”

Don’t scream that you’re bored.
said more calmly.
Looking straight into Mu’s eyes. Still staring at Mew until the end, who still doesn’t even think to make eye contact with me. I waited until Mew gave me a compelling reason.
At this point, Mew and I were almost in a struggle. Mew steps back and pulls her arms, and I follow Mew forward, shifting my center of gravity, and tightening my grip more tightly.
Mew’s slender wrists were fragile as if they were going to break, but it was me who was pushed. Mu’s absolute strength far outweighs me. It couldn’t be a fight in the first place.
Even so, the reason why the power struggle between me and Mew could last this long may be because Mew is controlling my power in consideration of any possible injury.
“Say… can’t tell Sorry, sorry. Ezio. me, though now. not really sorry. Sorry… … ”
Mew’s head, engulfed in fear for an unknown reason, trembled. That one word that I constantly repeat in my blue lips——
sorry.
I hated hearing that. I hated seeing the tears that gradually filled with those words too.
Why why… Everyone is sorry for me. what the hell did you do wrong Not only you guys, but let me know as well. If you know what’s going on, I won’t do anything whether I forgive you or not. I don’t want to keep being awkward with you like this. It’s simple. It’s a very simple matter. If you make a mistake, you can apologize. But this is not an apology. The person concerned doesn’t even know what’s going on, but if you say you’re sorry to me, what do I do? Do I have to tell you it’s okay? If I tell you it’s okay, will it be over?
it won’t be
Unless the underlying problem was resolved, Mew would continue to spit out his apology as if it were broken at me.
So say it with more force.
“No, tell me. here now.”
“Oh, no. really can’t I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Ezio.”
“Because tell me.”
“Sorry… Sorry, I was wrong. I, I was wrong… senior… … Let it go, please… … ”
“I told you I wasn’t your senior.”
“No, no… Senior, I was wrong… It’s my fault. Please, ah, I’m sorry. I mean, I didn’t mean to say that… Haha, sorry, sorry… senior… Sorry… … ”
“… … Why are you here?”
It was an intense bullying. Mew, who had been weeping with her blurry eyes, suddenly turned strange.
In no time at all, I took the initiative in the struggle. The power that had entered the wrist was loosened, and Mew’s body, weakened in an instant, staggered and began to crumble. I couldn’t help but panic because I never expected that things would turn out like this.
“Sorry… I’m sorry, old man… … ”
Mew’s knees touched the ground. Mew, who sat on the floor, burst into tears. My body, which had been heated up, seemed to have cooled down already, and it would have only warmed up due to the intense exercise, but Mew grabbed my shoulder and trembled as if I was getting cold.
Seeing that he had lost even the will to resist, I let go of the wrist I was holding on to. Mew kept repeating the same thing over and over without looking at me.
The conversation came back. The old muro.
“Ah, ah, ah… ah… Sorry… It wasn’t like that… It’s my fault… … I was all wrong, senpai… Ahh… … ”
“… … music?”
Mew covered her ears with her hands, as if trying to prevent hearing loss. Then he began to sob and cry with groans of pain.
It was such a desperate cry that my heart trembled when I heard it, so I unintentionally took a step back.
In the silent dance hall in the middle of the night, the sound of Mew’s cries fills the air. I hurriedly lowered my posture and grabbed Mew’s shoulder and shook it. Mew’s unfocused eyes were looking down at the floor in vain.
“… Wake. Why are you here, all of a sudden?”
It was me who suddenly became serious.
I just wanted to talk to you. How the hell do you get this to happen? went into panic

Did you push too hard?
Nope. If you really didn’t want to talk to me, you would instinctively shake off my hand.
This one seemed a little different from that.
There was something I didn’t know. It seems to have something to do with the reason Mew is avoiding me. It seemed to me that there was a secret that I could never tell to myself right now. That was something I needed to know. But, in this state, I can’t dig any further… …
I vaguely thought
There must have been something between me and Mew.
The reason we broke up must have been a bit complicated. So, it’s something that can be resolved through conversation. If we misunderstood each other, we correct them, and if we did something wrong, we apologize. Then I thought it would all be over.
It wasn’t.
He looks down at Mew, who is completely panicked. There is no response even if I shake my shoulder, and I cover my ears with both hands and repeat only the same words.
Sorry. sorry. It’s my fault. senior. And, I’m sorry. sorry. It’s my fault. It gave me goosebumps all over my body when I heard it. Instead of shaking Mew’s shoulder, he lightly tapped his cheek. Still, there was no response.
At one point, Mu seemed to stare blankly at me for a moment, then burst into tears again.
“I’m sorry, senpai… … ”
“… … ”
I’d rather go crazy.
what the hell happened

Did that lively child become like this?
messed it up
… nothing was certain
There was only one thing I had to do here.
“… are you okay. It’s okay, calm down.”
“… … ha ha ha Sorry. senior. I… my, my fault… … ”
“it’s okay. Nothing will happen. everything is fine I promise. I’ll definitely protect it this time… … Calm down, Mu.”
He lowered his posture and hugged Mew. hot heat. cold sweat. He placed his head on Mew’s shoulder and gently patted his back. He grabbed the hand that was covering his ears and put it down, sagging helplessly and touching the floor.
My left shoulder was wet with wet tears. Right next door, you can hear Mew’s low moan.
sorry. are you okay. Those words were mixed and merged at the same time. My mind was cluttered with clutter. Nevertheless, he breathed calmly and gently wiped Mew’s back. Mew’s body, which was often forced into my arms back then, was so small.
Even if you don’t even talk.
One thing seemed clear.
Mu is… … was seriously ruined.
… F*ck, change scene!
