13 Doorbell (2/2)

”You…. went here every day for this?”, Rin asked confusedly as he looked upon the thick pad of papers at hand.

”Yes.”, Dan said as if not was nothing ”I know that you are working hard to get better grades even if you're dumb so it would be a waste of an effort to skip almost three weeks-…”

Dana continued to speak as if she was Rin's mother or something.

'Why do she sounds like she care so much?', Rin thought while listening Dana's nagging.

After Dana's ”speech”, the sky was already getting dark.

”You should've gone inside if you're not going to leave soon.”, Rin said eithout thinking. It just came out of his mouth. It's not that he's nervous or anxious but in fact, he's relaxed.

Dana's eyes widened a but while her hands softly clutched as if surprised. ”Ah… n-no.”

Rin's eyes narrowed and teased Dana, ”Huh?? Why did you sttutered?”

Dana's face furrowed but she's just cutely angry not angry angry. ”Not of your concern and since it's already getting dark, I should be going now.”

Rin looked at the almost night sky where stars slowly started appearing and shining while the sun sets down, welcoming the dusk, ”Yeah, since it's already dark. The streets are dangerous at night.”

Dana's cheeks puffed, ”What's with you?”

”What?”, Rin raised an eyebrow.

”You changed, what happened?”, Dana pointed out.

”What happened?? What?” while Rin still confused.

”Hmm, well, before, I coudn't think even a bit of you as a man. You're even so anxious when we first talked that you stuttered in every word you say.”, Dana's sharp tongue pirced Rin again through and through on his vital spots.

”Uhh… your words still hurt.”, Rin caressed his chest, looking quite pained.

”But…”

”But?”

”But now you even had the courage to walk me home tonight.”, Dana strongly said.

”Huh? When did I ever say that I will walk you home?”, Rin scratched his head

Dana turned around and glared at Rin, ”Sorry, I thought that you've manned enough to walk me in the dark dangerous streets. It looks like I'm wrong.”

Just by Dana's words, Rin couldn't fight back but could only give up, ”Okay, fine. I'll walk you home.”

”Hmmm, okay.”, Dana turned around.

Seeing the current situation, Rin lightly smiled and thought, 'Isn't this too good to be true?'
