Elena's point of view

On the way back to our dorms Yuta got a call about an emergency so he dropped us off at Char's house. Winter and Valerie are sound asleep in a guest room, while Char and I sit at the table drinking tea.

Me: I'm sorry, this is like the second time I've freeloaded in your house.

She giggles before shaking her head.

Char: Friends help friends, no?
Me: We're friends?

Her face saddens.

Char: You don't see me as a friend?
Me: No! I mean, yes! Of course! It's just most people see me as an associate.

She lets out a small "ahhh"

Char: Yuta friends are my friends.
Me: Yuta and I aren't friends. He makes that very clear.

I sigh before taking a sip of tea.

Char: I think he's intrigued by you.

My eyes widen.

Me: I don't think that at all. I think he hates me and enjoy seeing me in such embarrassment.

She smirks, leaning her head on her hand.

Char: Is it like he goes out of his way to make you feel humiliated a bit?

I nod.

Char: A little aggressive but turns it down at certain points?

I nod again.

Char: It's like he gets joy from your anger after pissing you off?
Me: You know him too well!

A chuckle leaves her lips.

Char: It's a word for people like Yuta.

She stirs her tea slowly.

Char: I believe it's called, a sadist.

Yuta's point of view

Junhoe and I stare at each other.

Junhoe: Did you take the girls somewhere safe?
Me: Why the hell do you care?

He puts his hands up in defense.

Yuta: Why did you call me?
Junhoe: Why did you come?

I narrow my eyes at him.

Junhoe: Is it because of this?

He points to his moon tattoo.

Junhoe: Do you still have yours?

I instinctively brush over my shoulder where my sun tattoo is.

Junhoe: We were so close.
Me: Did you really call me to go down memory lane?
Junhoe: I'll be in town for a while. We run in the same circles so I don't want it to be weird when we see each other.

He can't fool me, he wants something, or he's looking for something. Either way I want nothing to do with it.

Me: I'm leaving.
Junhoe: I heard Sauni is having a baby, are you okay?
Me: Junhoe.

I turn around so he can see my face.

Me: Stay far away from me, or I'll kill you.
