(Chapter xiii)
Rin's POV
I stood in the mirror as I pulled my hair back and tied it into a manbun. Then I sprayed a few pumps of cologne, and put on a black coat.
"You look handsome." A voice called from behind me. I look behind me to see Niomi wearing a white dress with roses all over it. It was cute.
Rin's Outfit:
"Thanks. You look great as well." I said in return.
Niomi smiled, " Jeez' I thought I was your girlfriend where's my,"you look beautiful, babe?"
"Uh- sorry." I exclaimed.
"Kidding, jeez' your so easy! You ready to go?" Niomi asked.
I looked at myself again, and back at Niomi,"Yeah, but um- question?"
Niomi looked at me with a confused look in her eye,"What's up?!"
"Why did you ask Y/n to a double date with us?" I asked.
Niomi looked at me and smiled,"So she's Y/n now, I thought she was your Ex?"
"Niomi."
"I just thought why not, let me get to know her better, understand her, that's all." Niomi explained.
I said nothing, as she grabbed my hand,"Well if that's all we have a double date to get to!" She said as she walked out with our hands intertwined with each other's.

We soon arrived at the restaurant, there was no sign of Y/n and Sosuke yet.
"Oh like this." A voice echoed from behind me from a few feet away.
I turned around to see Sosuke as he wrapped one arms around Y/n's waist as his other wrapped around her neck with their face inches away from each other. "uh- I suppose." He smirked as he looked at her and she looked at him for a few second.
"Jeez' just kiss already won't you?" Niomi teased as she stood beside me.
The two caught our attention as they went back to their normal position and walked towards us,"Jeez' you two makeout later!" Niomi teased once again.
I rolled my eyes, and then took a look at Y/n, and slight red blush caressed my cheek.
"She looks- looks gorgeous."
"You look pretty." I said casually.
Niomi looked over at me and raised an eyebrow, and back at Y/n.
"I love your dress." Y/n said.
"Same too you. Shall we go inside?!" Niomi said.
"Yes, of course." Y/n said as she grabbed Sosuke's hand and they walked inside followed by me and Niomi. We were immediately seated and a waitress came over, "May I get anything for you four?"
The four of us looked towards the women and then Sosuke looked at the menu and back at the lady," A mango passion fruit refresher for this lady right here, and a water for me." Sosuke said as he wrapped his arm around Y/n, she turned his way and smiled.
"Um- Just water for the two of us." I said as I pointed at me and Niomi.
"Alright then. I'll be back with your drinks in a moment." The lady said as she walked off.
It was awkward silence for a few seconds until Niomi spoke. "So Y/n how did you and Sosuke meet?!"
Y/n's eyebrows raised alittle and she looked at Sosuke and back at Niomi,"It's a long story." She said as swaddled her hand up and down.
"I'd love to hear it." Niomi exclaimed with a smile.
"Oh, is that right?!" Y/n said as she put on a plastered smile.
"Yes." Niomi said.
I put my hand on Niomi's shoulder,"Niomi it really isn-"
"Wel-
"We met in Tokyo afew days after her and Rin's breakup actually. We sat over coffee and chatted for a while." Sosuke interrupted Me and Y/n as he explained.
"Awe. Me and Rin met in Middle School actually, but we were just friends at the time. When he came back for college, I decided to reunite with him and it went from there." Niomi said as she nudged me and leaned her head onto my shoulder as she looked up at me, and gave me a peck on the lips.
"That's nice." Sosuke said politely.
I looked at Niomi, back the other couple across from,"Oh. Sosuke.." Y/n said as she pulled him into her to feel his warmth, he raised an eyebrow at the strange behavior," You okay, Y/n?" Sosuke asked. She looked up at him, and gave him a smile,"Yeah..just alittle cold." Sosuke relaxed his eyebrows, and smiled,"Jeez' you should of just said so, Peach." Sosuke took off his jacket and put it around her shoulders,"you feel better?" She nodded,"I guess." Sosuke looked at Y/n,"I guess?" She stayed leaning onto Sosuke's shoulders,"Yes, I feel like I'm missing something.." Sosuke confused and then he smirks,"Really? Your missing something?"
"Yes, yes I am." She said.
Sosuke leaned down and pecked her lips for second,"Now are you better?"
Y/n smiled, as she pulled off of Sosuke's shoulders and wrapped the jacket around her body to feel its warmth alittle more.
I witnessed the whole scene and bit my lip,"You two are soo cute!" Niomi exclaimed happily.
"I'm back! Your food is served." The waitress said as she layed everyone's food down on the table.
We began to eat and chat abit more, the longer the night went on the more envious I got.

The night ended quicker than ever, me and Niomi headed back to the hotel. Our hands were interwhined with the others when she stopped.
"Niomi?" I questioned as I looked at the girl, and soon she turned and looked at me,"Rin. I need to know the truth."
My eyes raised as a hint of confusion caressed my face,"What are you talking about?"
"Do you actually love me?" She asked.
"What type of question is that? I said yes, when you ask me to be your boyfriend didn't I?" I said as I raised an eyebrow.
"So what— you don't treat me like your girlfriend, you barely show any affection towards me, or compliment me." She explained.
"I do. What do I not do to you that you want?" I asked getting alittle irritated but remained calm.
"I don't know, you barely hug me, It's always me, me hugging you, me kissing you, me complimenting you, when do you ever say, "Niomi you look lovely today"— Never! but you can call your Ex pretty, but not your own girlfriend, huh?" Niomi remarked.
"Niomi, I-"
"Yeah, I heard you when you called her pretty tonight, but all you could tell me up in the hotel was that I looked great...So, I want to know, do you actually love me?" Niomi pointed out.
"Niomi. This is stupid!" I retorted.
"Give me an answer, Rin!" She remarked as I could hear her on the verge of tears.
"Niomi, Stop! You know the answer!" I exclaimed.
"Do I? Do you love me? I want to hear it!" Niomi eventually shouted.
I bit my lip,"Yes, Y/n! Of course I love you..." I caught what I just said and I covered my mouth.
I watched as tears started to erupt from Niomi's eyes as she frowned,"D-did you just called Y/n?"
"W-wait. Wait, Nio-"
"Shut up!! I should of known. You never loved me, you loved the thought of me, I was a perfect little toy for you, you were upset with your breakup with Y/n and I was right there, you toyed with my feeling and used me as a way to cope over your breakup because you made a mistake." Niomi said through heaps of tears pouring down her face.
"Niomi, I-"
"You what?! You want to tell me you're still in love with your ex, and our relationship meant nothing to you!" Niomi shouted again.
"No. Niomi, our relationship meant something, I-It-"
"Rin, just go! All you do is hurt others, you hurt your Ex, and now you hurt me, maybe It be better if you'd just stay away because all you seem todo is hurt everyone around you." Niomi exclaimed through tears.
"n-Niomi.?" I mumbled out.
"j-just go. GO! Never talk to me again, we're done, Rin!" Niomi shouted.
I walked past her and my head lowered as I started to ruffle through my hair. I soon arrived at the hotel, but I stopped. And then walked right past it, and to the train station. I took an hour ride out to the outskirts of Tokyo and when I got off I walked down the sidewalk as I made it to my destination. I pulled put the key and unlocked the door walking inside, then I relocked it back. I sat down on the floor of the living area, as I wrapped my knees into my arms and kept ruffling my hair with my hand.
"Dammit! I fucked up big time!"
"I'm such an idiot!"
"Why can't I make things work?"
A few minutes passed by and I heard as the door started to unlock and soon the sound of footsteps walking inside. You saw the shadow of the figure,"uh- hello?" The figure asked as I could tell she was getting more nervous by the sudden quiet,"Is someone in here?"
I decided to come out of hiding and I stood up from behind the chair, as she throw the object hitting me in the head.
"AWH! Goddammit it!" I shouted as rubbed the wounded area with my hand, then I saw the girl as she walked towards me.
"r-Rin?" She hesitantly asked, as she noticed me come into the light to reveal my marooned haired self.
"Heh- Hey." I said awkwardly.
"What the hell are you doing here?!..."
