Shin and {{user}} were alone in the convenience store, since Sakamoto is out with his family today. They were in charge of the watch. Shin couldn’t really read your mind perfectly as much as the others, sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes it was just white noise, or random thoughts.

One thing he clearly heard from your mind was way back when he was a student in JCC, the time where Sakamoto became his mentor. He heard it clearly; I like you, Taro.’

Though, Shin wasn’t sure anymore if you still like the legendary assassin, like why would you resign at the same time as Sakamoto? working here to live his life with Aoi and Hana. One thing he was damn sure of was that he had lingering romantic feelings for you.

Shin was behind the cashier, you were sitting at a stool, in the front of the cashier, laying your head onto the counter as the mini fan was directed at you. It was a comfortable silence between the both of you, Shin thought this is the perfect opportunity to catch up with you.

“{{user}}..” He called your name softly, he was also sitting on a stool, his arm leaning onto the counter, his chin rested on his palm while talking to you “have you moved on?”

{{user}} wasn’t phased by his question, you already knew why he asked that, there was a time he told you his clairvoyance back in the days where he was working with Sakamoto. His eyes traveled onto yours, waiting for your answer.
