Chapter 1
"Hey Sawada!", I called on him while he was walking alone after school.
"Oi, Yankumi", he said.
"Going home already?", I asked.
"What else?", he told me.
"Where are your friends?"
"Oh well. Having a date with girls somewhere."
"Date. Oh date. Why didn't you join them?"
"I'm not interested."
"Not interested?! You?!", I scoffed upon hearing that.
"You don't believe me?"
"I can't believe that a teenage guy like you is not interested in dating at all."
"Then believe now."
"I'll just pretend.", I teased him.
He didn't say anything and just shrugged.
We weren't talking as we walked. We just stayed silent until we passed by the fields under the overpass. Shin sat and I also did, beside him.
"Hey. Did you have a girlfriend in the past?", I couldn't help asking him after telling me he was not interested in dating at all.
"Nah. Never had any.", he answered me.
"Even one?!", I was shocked with his answer. With Shin's looks, it's very impossible that he didn't have a girlfriend even before.
"Yes. Even one. I told you. I'm not interested with those stuffs.", he said
"Alright. Alright. But hey, do you even like someone?"
"Dammit! I don't bother liking someone."
"What the heck?! Are you telling me now that you want to grow old being single?!"
"Why not?", he uttered, calmly and he seemed like joking.
"You're kidding me fool."
"Oh well. I'll tell you when I found her."
"When?"
"I'm in no hurry.", he stated. He then stood up and continued walking. I followed him.
