Observing from left and right, front and back, people entering and exiting this usual place where I hang out. Same old stories, this cafe sure is very lively, lively with all those dramas, from friendship to family to lovers. I love reading, and watching anime even movies with those kind of genre. I love all kind of dramas, but recently, they all have the same story, and it's making me sick.

"Is there any unique story?" I sighed as my eyes caught a very rare non-Japanese guy sitting at the very last table beside the window.

He is smiling widely, looking at his phone. Probably, his girlfriend? But what a cute guy. I wonder if he is American? Or half? I couldn't tell. Oh, he is talking to someone on his phone. Seemed like his girlfriend. He looks so pure, and he really loves his girlfriend, huh.

How do I know?

Come on, I watched different people already. And he is one of those rare guys that is having this kind of expression.

Wait!
Japanese?!
This is really bizarre!

My eyes then turned to the lady who just entered, breathing heavily, and had a little sweat.

Ah, his girlfriend?

Since here, Mr. Pretty Boy smiles so wide seeing her. Hmmmm... I wonder what kind of story are they going to show me.

I couldn't help but watch them. My eyes followed her movements, and she seems so delicate.

"Arthur, sorry for the wait!"

So his name is Arthur.
Wow, his action too is refined. He stood up and greeted his girlfriend, letting her sit in front of her.

The Ms. Girlfriend kept on talking, and Mr. Boyfriend is lovingly looking at her, without saying anything.

Ahh, I never seen a guy like him, well not in real life.

I smiled to myself and was about to finish my cake and tea when a guy entered the cafe, oh, another handsome guy, but his eyes wondered around.

Oh, this is an interesting one. His eyes spotted Ms. Girlfriend. Don't tell me?

"Nari!" He shouted approaching those two lovers, and Ms. Girlfriend looks so surprise.

"Jun! What are you doing here?!" Hmmm, she is so agitated now

"I knew it! You are cheating on me!"

"I-I am not!" She immediately responded and I could totally see that Mr. Boyfriend's reaction. "H-he is a very close friend of mine"

Biatch liar!
He is obviously stunned and hurt by this girl's words. Let see how he would react. The other guy is now throwing tantrums, saying harsh things to this guy. But why? Why isn't he saying anything back?

So far, this kind of story that I saw and witness, they would surely fight over the said gf or bf. But why?! Why aren't you saying anything?!

The voice of that Jun guy was getting louder and louder that I got really annoyed.

And my body just moved on it's own.

"Arthur?" I called him and this Jun guy finally shut up "it is really Arthur! So this is the place you told me where you are going to meet with your close friend?!" I approached him as I giggled and smile. He stood and looked at me confusedly "ah, I was actually on the other table. I was watching a movie when I noticed that it became noisy, and here you are. What's going on here?" I turned to this biatch liar and hir rampage boyfriend and tilted my head innocently "Arthur, which one is your close friend?"

"Who are you?!" Mr. Rampage boyfriend annoyingly asked me

"Ah, I apologize. I am Arthur's girlfriend, (L/N) (F/N)" When I introduced myself, I could see Ms. Girl- ah no, Ms. Biatch liar's eyes widened "nice to meet you"

"Your girlfriend?" She asked Mr. Boy- no, Mr. Handsome guy, and I turned to him and smiled, also somehow sending him a telepathy signal that I am helping him out

"Yeah" he responded and wow, his voice! Wait! I am weak to this kind of beautiful voice! "I apologize, I didn't tell you that I will be here. I forgot that you love going here. And remember Nari? The one I mentioned before? She is my close friend"

Oh! He's on it!

"It's okay. This is the place where we met after all. Oh, and I remember now" I chuckled then turned to these two "but you seemed in the middle of a heat up conversation. What's going on?"

"Don't mind it. He seemed misunderstanding something" he responded then turned to me "are you done with your stuffs here? We can go now. It seems like these two here need to have a proper talking"

"I am fine with it. But aren't you going to say anything first to your close friend?" I innocently asked then turned to Ms. Biatch Liar, and I could see her teeth gritting in anger "is there something wrong?"

"Nari and I are very close friend. But in order for you to stop misunderstanding stuffs, I will not message her nor see her again. And I hope you also do the same" I silently snickered on the side but changed my expression as if I was shock.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked in sarcasm and he gently smiled, but I could see how hurt he was.

"Wait Arthur! I-"

"If that is your decision, I cannot help with it. Things just got messier" I sighed then smiled back at him "let's go then? I'll just go get my things" I ran towards where my things were, and yes, there were no laptop nor earphone on the table, just my unfinished cake and tea and my bag on the side.

Mr. Handsome guy followed me and we excusee ourselves to the couple lovers, and left the cafe.

We walked and walked until the course was clear and we just both stop from walking.

"That was unexpected" I sighed and crossed my arms "why did I butt in into someone's mess?" I asked myself and turned to him "and you surely rode with flow"

"I was also surprised and was at lost to what just happened. And there you came, a person I don't know, suddenly saying that you are my girlfriend. But thanks to that I was saved."

"Right. I am just an outsider. I was just watching you and your girlf- ex-girlfriend, then suddenly another one came and ruined everything. Did you know that she was cheating on you?"

"If I know then I wouldn't be surprised"

"Then why weren't you saying anything back? You should have retorted-"

"If I did that, would it change? Nothing would change if I did that. It would get everything worse. I didn't want to cause anymore commotion over than that."

I stared at him and really amazed on his reasons.

"There are reasons why you didn't want to cause any more commotion. Either you are coward, you are so kind, or you are a famous person." I chuckled then crossed my arms "anyways, whatever your reason is, I was just an outsider. And I was amazed by your expressions and resolution. I am (L/N) (F/N) by the way."

"Arthur Lounsbery, nice to meet you I am American-Japanese. And again, thank you very much. This is the first time I met such person."

"A very unique, right? I am also amazed how cool your voice is. And you can speak Japanese. Should I call you, Arthur or Lounsbery-san?"

"You can call me Arthur. You already called me by that anyways"

I laughed and he finally showed a genuine smile towards me. It was then I noticed Ms. Ex-girlfriend running towards us

"Your ex is coming" I whispered

We turned to her and I immediately moved closer to Arthur.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked since she seemed agitated

"You have another girlfriend?!" She asked in disbelief as if she was the victim here. I turned to Arthur and he looked so hurt now looking at her.

"You have another boyfriend, who made a ruckus inside the cafe. Said things towards Arthur. But what did you do? Played the victim? And now? Why do you sound as if you were being cheated?" I asked her and she glared at me

"Don't butt in. This is our problem! He cheated on me!"

"Can you hear what you are saying?" I asked in disbelief and stand back "I am an outsider. I am not really his girlfriend. I just butt in to stop the rampage of your boyfriend." I chuckled and glared at her "hey, you sure are a bitch"

"She isn't my girlfriend. But she helped me and even you to stop the rampage of your other boyfriend. I never cheated, but you do." Arthur sighed and still calm in this situation. Hands down to this guy

"Why you didn't even retort a while ago?! You should've said something-"

"Like?" Arthur asked back and laughed "I felt remorsed and in disbelief. You knew why I didn't want to cause a commotion there. Nothing would change. You cheated, that's that truth"

I chuckled on the side and she glared at me "shut up!"

"Come on. The outsider is a better person than you." I rolled my eyes

"In any case, (F/N) and I need to go now. We are over. You need to go back to your other boyfriend." Arthur grabbed my hand and I waved at Ms. Biatch Liar.

And when we finally rode the train, he freed me and he sighed

"You know. I know a place. We can go there, and you can cry there."

He looked at me and laughed "even still, I will not cry. It is sad. But I will not cry for a girl like her. Thank you for your suggestion. But next time, please let me know."

"Oh yeah? Are you planning to cry there? And we are going to meet again?" I questioned him in disbelief

"If possible. At least I wanted to extend my gratitude to you for helping me a while ago. I wanted today, but I have stuffs to do later."

"Hmmmmm"

"You didn't want to?!"

"It's not that I do not want. I was thinking that you thought of me as a weird freak outsider for butting into someone else's problem." And I received a silent response "that's when you should comment back that it is not true." I glared at him and he just laughed "well then, let's exchange line and let's set a date when to meet again"

We exchanged lines when we got out of the train, and he told me not to share it to anyone. Yeah, as if there's someone who I could share it with.

When we separated ways, I just stopped and turned around to see him off, but I was surprised when was still looking at me. I blinked fast and laughed to myself, waving back at him.

"So in the end you butt in to someone else's problem?!" My friend, Nana, shouted "are you crazy?! Why?!"

"I also didn't know. I asked myself why too, but probably because of my own curiosity and because he was one of those rare guys"

"Huh?! That guy was okay with it?"

"Yeah. Anyways, where are we going?" I asked and looked around "there are lots of people here in the mall today"

"Yeah. Remember the game I was talking about? Today is the released and they will be having a public event today." She excitedly ran ahead of me and I just followed behind.

We stayed on the 2nd floor of the mall, and as I looked down towards the first floor, they were still preparing the stage.

I always went with Nana in this kind of event, sometimes though. Supporting her, since she supports me with my works too and craziness.

"Then, who will be here this time? The game creators? Directors?" I curiously asked leaning on the rail

"Just the game designer, and this time the seiyuu are here"

"Seiyuu? Are you a fan of seiyuu? What game is it anyway?"

"Yes, seiyuu. Voice actors. Those who voice in anime and games. I am their fan, but not the hardcore one. Also, If I answer what game, do you know what is it?"

"No" I immediately responded and she smirked.

20 more minutes and the gallery on the first floor filled up, even the 2nd floor and to the 5th floor of the mall. We all turned to the center stage on the first floor as the host started.

Everyone was so hype, they were looking forward to the casts. Though I said that I went with Nana, I often go to game market event, or game release event, there were no seiyuu, so this is kind of new to me. I am surprised that the gallery is trippled than the usual. I am completely outsider, since I am the only person who doesn't show excitement.

I looked down and also waited for the host to call the seiyuu of this game.

But when the host welcomed the first seiyuu, I immediately closed my ears since everyone shouted, even Nana! The hype didn't die down when the second seiyuu was called, and my eyes widened when the host called the 3rd cast, and I was seeing Mr. Handsom Guy entering the stage, with his 5 star smile

"Wait?! What?! Arthur?!"
