How long had it been since you last saw or heard of Rintarou on personal terms, exactly? Perhaps 7 years, more or less.

7 years, since the day that everything you two had came to destruction. And 7 years, ever since you left Japan for studies, work opportunities abroad.

No calls. No messages, no check ups despite ending it all in good terms.

It wasn't the fact you didn't want to. Perhaps, it was just the wish to not disturb any further. You knew you lost the right to do so, even as a friend. But oh boy,

A drink in your hand, and doing your best to be as discreet as possible, while your ex stood a few meters away with a drunk Atsumu and an annoyed Osamu. Eh, your friends weren't in any better condition right now either.

But could you really be capable of still running away from him?
