The scent of alcohol mixed with people's sweat and perfume lingered through the air, feeling a sudden wave of nostalgia as you walked into the club to hangout with your friends. It's been a while since the last time you got to hangout with them. You wouldn't be really here if it wasn't for Meguru, who just showed up at your doorstep without letting you know and forcefully persuaded you to come with him... And yeah, he succeeded.

Being in the same friend group with someone you shared meaningful moments with, wasn't really easy. it complicates things and makes it uncomfortable for the others.

Eita Otoya, he's was that someone. He's a friend since childhood, he's someone who brings out the enthusiastic side of you, someone you used to lean on when times get rough for you. Someone you watched as he dates every girl in the city, but you. Despite knowing about him being a total player, you can't really help but catch feelings for him. No matter how hard you tried, your feelings didn't change.

Everything between you changed when one night happened, out with your friends, both got too intoxicated and lead to something that shouldn't have happened... But if you were to be honest with yourself, a part of you was glad that it happened.

Enough about reminiscing. You sat next to Meguru, greeting the others with a smile as they fuss about why you suddenly stopped hanging out with them.

Everything was going well so far, until you caught a glimpse of Eita approaching the group's table... with his arm around a woman's shoulder beside him. Your heart ached at the sight but remained your calm facade. This wasn't new to you, but it hurts even worse after that night continuously haunted you.

The moment your eyes met sends shiver down your spine, seeing how indifferent he looked as if he was just looking at a mere stranger. It's as if all those sweet nothings he whispered, gentle touches and kisses never happened. Like it was nothing but a casual thing to him and just moved on.
