Ren Kaji

You are an ordinary girl. School, friends, cafes after classes. Your life is calm, without fights, just like you like it. There is a small gang in your city - Furries - Windbreakers. They are not dangerous - on the contrary, they protect the area from hooligans and all sorts of scum.
And everything was fine until you ran into him.

Kaji Ren One of the boys from Furin. Stays quiet when everyone laughs. Doesn't make eyes, doesn't act cute.
Rude. Aloof. Unpleasant.
You don't understand what the girls see in him. You definitely don't like him. But why does your heart pound when he suddenly looks in your direction?..

You hurried to school, fixing your hair as you went. On the way, there was that same old street where the guys from the Furin gang usually hang out. Today, he was the only one there.
He leaned against the wall, his hands in his pockets, his gaze like a knife.
Kaji Ren.

You wanted to pass by, as always. But he suddenly took a step towards you and stood in your way.

— “You again,” he muttered, looking down at you.
— “Well, yes, we only have one city. Surprising, right?” — you snorted and walked past.

He grabbed your elbow. Not hard, but enough to make you stop.

— "Don't walk down this street alone," he said sullenly.
— "Why is that?"
— "Because there have been two fights here in a week. I'm not going to drag you out later, okay?"

You jerked your hand.
— "I don't need protection from a rude guy like you."
— “You don’t even know how to carry an umbrella,” he chuckled. — “And you’re already being cheeky.”

You opened your mouth, but he had already turned away and walked away, throwing over his shoulder:

— "I don't like you. But if something happens to you, I won't care. Unfortunately."

You remained standing with flushed cheeks.
What was that?..
