The Sunken chapter 8

"Well? Riku?"
"Well what?"
"Yesterday's incident..."
"What incident?"
"Riku~ You're so slow, the confession of a junior to Hikaru! Idiot!"
"What about it?"
"Never mind, you're obviously avoiding it."
"I don't need to avoid, it is purely something stupid that it doesn't need to talk about."
"sigh, for some reason, I've given up."

Really though, I wonder what's that to talk about, simply put, someone confessed to someone and got rejected...that's it, nothing, absolutely nothing to talk about.

"Welcome home, Riku."
"Hey, old man. You seem kinda free, you don't even go to work."
"I work at home, it's easier to design fashion at home, where it's comfor..."
"You can stop there. What's for dinner?"
"Gyoza."
"Hm, prepare more."
"For you?"
"Who else?"
"Glutton."
"Shut up, old man."

My family and I used to eat gyoza at home too. I love gyoza a lot, reminds me of eating wanton.

"Riku, I will go to Hokkaido for a trip this Saturday,I would be back next week."
"Oh."
"I'll bring you loads of food and souvenirs back, kay?"
"mm."
"You know, if you don't try to say something, it's as though I'm talking to myself. Please, Riku? Say at least something?"
"I thought I told you before, remember it, and before that don't you ever try to talk to me."
"Alright..."

"Riku-chan is in a bad mood...Hikaru~ go cheer her up!"
"Don't make me do those things...I'll do it if I feel it kay?"
"Riku-chan is angry..."
"Shut up! I can hear you, you know!"

I can't stand the noise when I'm truly in a bad mood. I went to the rooftop and try to calm myself. Then, Hikaru came by and skipped class with me. No words are exchanged, and I fell asleep quickly.

After I woke up, Hikaru is still here, since both of us have nothing to do, I told him about the old man's trip to Hokkaido. He said nothing and just listen. After school's over, Hikaru treated me ramen before we go home. The ramen was good as usual, the only thing that's different is the atmosphere.
