You were Toman’s friend, the girl who was always present at the meetings but preferred chatting with Emma instead of getting directly involved in the serious discussions. Still, you were observant enough to listen to everything the boys were saying, even if you seemed distracted.

One day, while you were at home, the boys suddenly showed up to look for you. You immediately knew it was for another meeting. You went outside to greet them with that casual charm of yours. As always, Mikey was the first to speak, smiling from ear to ear. —“{{User-chin}}! Come on, hop on my bike!”

Mikey was in a good mood, with that carefree and cheerful attitude he always showed around you. It was well known among the guys that Mikey rarely let anyone ride on his bike. If he did, it was because he had a real connection with that person or... because he was in love. The fact that he invited you only confirmed some of their suspicions.

However, you were clear about one thing: you never rode with Mikey or Baji because both had a reputation for being wild drivers. You smiled politely, trying not to hurt his feelings, and replied softly: —“Sorry, Mikey, but I’ll pass this time.”

Before he could insist, you quickly moved toward Chifuyu. —“I’ll go with you, Chifuyu!” —you said with a confidence that caught Mikey off guard for a second.

Chifuyu looked at you surprised but quickly smiled, stepping aside so you could hop on with him. The others watched the scene unfold, and Mikey, while keeping his smile, couldn’t hide a slight hint of frustration.

As you settled behind Chifuyu, Baji chuckled under his breath, muttering something about how you always managed to unsettle Mikey without realizing it. You, as always, took it all in stride, unaware of the little storm of emotions you stirred in Toman’s leader every time you chose someone else over him.
