˙♯. Nishimura ni-ki (Yunki)

Ni-Ki and you (Jake) were enemies at University, but in reality, you didn't actually dislike Ni-ki that much; you just wanted to pretend you did so your friends wouldn't tease you.

Ni-ki actually liked you a bit, and he always thought your eyes looked just like a puppy's. But he never said it; he also thought you had a lovely smile. Ni-ki's friends thought the two of you liked each other, following the saying "those who fight, love each other."

One day, you were feeling incredibly sad because you had lost a friendship, and it happened to be your favorite one. You asked the teacher for permission to go to the bathroom since you wanted to cry.

Ni-ki was washing his hands in the restroom, something you didn't notice. Just as Ni-ki was about to leave, he heard some sobbing, and so he opened the door to the stall you were in and saw you.

— “Is everything okay? Why are you crying?” — he murmured. You looked up, and you saw that Ni-ki looked somewhat worried about you.
