Rin's POV

"Len, say hello to my boyfriend!" I exclaim happily.

"What?!" the two shouted at the same time.

I don't know what came into me at that moment. I couldn't think of anything else. Now, look what I've done! I'm going to tear Len and Kei apart. I already screwed up Len and Rei's brothership.

I grinned. "Yep! So d-don't come back here anymore!" I hope I sound convincing enough. I shot Kei a glance like 'Follow my lead.' He nodded. "W-well, I guess we can go now. Ready, Kei?"

Kei smiled, taking my hand. He bowed to Len who had wide eyes. We settled in Kei's car and we drove off as fast as we could. "Now...can you explain to me what the hell just happened?!"

I sighed. "Len has been bugging me recently and I need someone to vent to. You were just a last resort."

Kei frowned. "Wow. That makes me feel so special."

I rolled my eyes. "Well...I guess we have to pretend to be a couple now. All thanks to me."

Kei's grin came back. "I don't think that such a bad idea!"

"Shut up. Please."

"S-sorry…"

I took out my phone and saw a new text from Len. I mind as well read it.

To: Rin Kagene

From: Len Kagamine

I know you were lying, Rin. Don't fool me.

I gulped, locking my phone. Len could see through me so good. But, I guess at that moment, anyone can tell that I was lying.

I stared at the window as I watched couples walk up and down the streets of Crypton. It makes me sick. They're holding hands, kissing, hugging each other. Can they get a room?!

"Where do you want to go?" Kei asked to break the thick silence between the both of us.

I shrugged. "I dunno. Your pick."

"Ah, yeah!"

I couldn't help the smile that stretched my lips. Kei is a nice guy. He helped me through the "Len Fiasco." And...I have a lot more fun with him than I do with my other friends.

I should be happy that I have a friend like him by my side.

We arrived at Vocaloid Cafe a few minutes later. I didn't like it here. There's so many memories that came back to me. I frowned instantly.

The waiter gave us a table to sit in. I sat down, sighing.

"What's wrong, Rin-chan?" Kei asked.

I made small circles on the table with my finger. "Len's being a bitch."

"Y'know, I thought you would say 'Len's being a jerk' or 'Len's being a meanie.' I didn't expect that!" Kei laughed.

"I don't care if I'm cursing so much! I need to let my words be heard."

"Okay, tell me all that's happened last night, Rin-chan," he instructed.

I complied immediately.

Kei nodded and smiled occasionally. He even laughed once or twice when he found something funny. Then, he gave me solid advice. "Well...you're totally right that Len's not being himself. Hachi must've changed him or something. But, she's not that type of girl."

"HANEUL IS MY NAME!" a loud, sweet voice shouted from across the cafe. I widened my eyes. Please, God, tell me she's not here!

But, yep. It was her.

Haneul walked over to us with a hand placed on her hip. "You need to learn my name, Kei-oppa. This is getting annoying!"

"I'm sorry! It's just sooo weird!"

She glared at him and he jumped. Her eyes trailed to me and she instantly smiled. "Hi, Rin-unnie! It's good to see you again. How've you been?" She sat next to me.

I nodded. "Good, good…"

She smiled wider. "So...I heard you and Kei-oppa are talking about Len-oppa. What happened?"

Kei gave me a look as if to ask my permission to tell Haneul what I told him. I shrugged and sipped at the water the waiter gave me.

When Kei was done, Haneul nodded in agreement. "I agree 100%!"

"Why don't you break up with him?" I muttered, rolling my eyes to the side.

Haneul looked at me. "I thought he needed some closure. And, if I break up with him, he'll only suffer more because he doesn't have anyone to talk to."

I blinked.

She...she has a point.

"What are we going to do? When I went over to the house, Len was there, talking to Rin-chan," Kei stated.

My eyes darkened. "I'm letting him suffer like how he made me suffer! I told him that I've moved on and I'm not taking his shit anymore! He's out of my life!" That last sentence was a total lie. I still think of him every minute of the day.

Haneul laughed. "That's the way to do it!"

"I'm not going back there," I mumbled.

"You wanna stay at my house, Rin-chan?" Kei asked.

"No, don't stay at that creep's house! Stay at my house, Rin-unnie!" Haneul offered. Kei glared at her.

I still have a strong disliking towards Haneul. And, I know I'll only dislike her more if I stayed at her house. So, I agreed with Kei. He shouted in the cafe and everyone looked at him.

Haneul and I just laughed.


Kei drived me back to the house so I can pack my things quickly and get the hell out of there. I went to my room, grabbed my suitcase that I used earlier this summer, and packed five pairs of clothes. I'll buy more if I need it.

After I was done, I smiled at the house before me. I'll miss all of the good memories I had in here.

I walked out the house, only to find Len there again. Kei was gone because he had to get a few groceries for his house. Now, I was all alone.

I gulped. "What do you want?"

"Are you moving out?" he questioned with a hurt look.

I sighed. "Yes, I am. And you're not going to stop me."

Len walked towards me. I was screwed. I didn't have anywhere to run except to run in the house. So, I dropped the suitcase and ran inside the house. I closed every door behind me to slow him down.

I ended up in my room. Before I could close the door, he was already there. He pushed the door open, grabbed my wrist and threw me on my bed. My face heated in anger. "GO AWAY!" I shouted, feeling my hands get above my head.

"Rin, look at me."

"NO! You ruined my life! You ruined it and I can't get it back! I HATE YOU!"

Len silenced.

I stared into his eyes and I noticed how dark and dull they were. Did he stay up all night or something?

I couldn't help the big hole opening in my heart for him.

"You don't hate me, Rin. You don't."

"Well, I do. I hate you, so please...get out my life. I have a boyfriend now and I don't need you." My voice was sharp.

He laid his forehead against mine. "You can't hate me. I'll go insane."

"I don't care."

"Rin…"

"I really don't care if you'll go insane. Why can't you be happy with your girlfriend?"

"I was never happy with her."

"So, you just used her?"

"Yes..."

"Bullshit," I spat. "I saw the way you held her hand. Kissed her. Wrapped your arm around her."

"It was all an act, Rin," he whispered.

I laughed. "You can stop the act and actually be a real couple. I'm not stopping you."

"I can't. I'm not happy with her."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't believe you. She's so sweet and gorgeous. Of course you're happy with her."

He gulped visually. "You and Kei...are you two really an...item?"

"Yep. And, I'm not going to break up with him for you."

"Please...do it. Can't you see how weak I am? Can't you see how much I've been in pain? I miss you so much. I need you. I love you, Rin," Len said. My heart jumped.

"No. Do me a favor and forget about me. Forget that this ever happened. Then, you can finally be happy," I pleaded.

He leaned back, but he was still on top of me. "Why can't you forgive me?"

I scoffed, pushing him off of me. "Ask that question to yourself and you'll figure out the answer."

Just then, I heard the honk for me to go outside. "Goodbye, Len."

And, I walked down the stairs, outside, and into the car with the suitcase in my hand. Kei helped me get it in his trunk. When I settled in his car, I had a complete meltdown.


I woke up. I blinked my blurry eyes to check my surroundings.

I'm in a room.

I gasped, widening my eyes. This isn't my room!

I stood up, frantically looking around. That's until I remembered what happened earlier.

Oh.

I'm at Kei's house.

I must've passed out in the car or something. My memory is a bit hazy.

I looked around Kei's room. It's big, but normal. Which is surprising.

That's when I found a picture on a desk that's against the wall. I pursed my lips together before taking the frame with my hand.

Kei is next to some guy who has blonde hair and blue eyes, like me. He wasn't Len - that's for sure. I wonder who he is.

I put the picture back on the desk, walking some more around the room. There's a bookshelf right next to his bed, but there's only three books on it. It's obvious that Kei isn't a reader.

I sat back on the bed and took out my phone that was in my sweatshirt pocket. I checked the time. It's only 10:00 P.M.

Kei should still be awake.

So, I walked out of his room and found the stairs. I hopped down the stairs to find Kei watching TV with a bowl of popcorn on his lap. When he saw me, his eyes brightened. "Rin-chan! You're finally awake! How did you sleep?"

I rubbed my eyes. "I slept fine. Where's my luggage at?"

"In the room you'll be staying in."

"Which is…?" I wondered.

Kei stood from the couch and made me follow him to my room. Once he opened the door, I saw my suitcase on the bed.

The room was painted yellow, which is ironic. It looked exactly like Kei's room, except there isn't any books on the bookshelf.

"Thanks," I mutter.

"Of course! Are you hungry?"

I shook my head, going over to the bed. "I'll go to sleep now."

He nodded. "Alright. Good night."

"Good night."

Kei closed the door and I slumped on the bed. No more Len to bother me is such a relief. At least, I want it to be a relief.

I wonder how he's doing now. Is he talking to Haneul? Is he at the Beach House? Is he waiting for me to come back?

I groaned, sitting up. I took out my phone and checked to see if I have a new message from Len.

Nope.

Not even one.

Has he finally given up on me? Did he learn his lesson?

I couldn't help the aching feeling in my heart. I miss him, but I don't want to see him. I don't want to crawl back to him like how I did. I want him to feel the pain that I did.

I sighed. Why does this feel so wrong?

I don't like Kei anymore than a friend. Yet, I'm lying about him being my boyfriend.

Should I just forgive Len then?

No! I'm not forgiving Len so easily!

I just need to go to sleep and think this over again.

I can't wait until summer ends.


I woke up again. I smelt bacon and pancakes in the air and my stomach immediately started to growl. I roll off the bed, finding that I was in the same clothes as last night.

I went to my suitcase and pulled out a yellow floral skirt with a white blouse. I put the clothes on and ran a hand through my hair. Good enough.

I went down the stairs and to the kitchen. On the dining table was two plates filled with pancakes, bacon, and toast.

My mouth watered as I walked over to the food.

"Uup! Not too fast, Rin-chan!" someone called behind me.

I turned around to see Kei at the doorway of the kitchen with a smile. "Don't eat without me. That's so rude!" he whined.

I smiled lightly. "Good morning."

"Good morning." Kei went over to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Are you okay?" he whispered in my ear.

I shivered. "Y-yes."

"Good!" He let go of me and went over to the table. He gestured for me to come over and I complied.

We ate and talked and laughed and I actually felt happy.

When we were done, I took the plates and washed them in the sink.

"Hey, Rin-chan?"

"Mmm?"

"When you're done washing the dishes, go to the living room. I need to have a talk with you."

I raised an eyebrow. A talk? What kind of talk?

So, when I finished washing the dishes, I did what Kei said for me to do. "Yeah?" I asked, sitting on his comfortable couch.

"Ahh…" Kei scratched his neck awkwardly. "Have you talked to Len recently?"

A sour flavor roamed in my mouth at his name. "Yeah, I did. Yesterday before you picked me up. Why?"

Kei sighed. "So you didn't hear?"

I blinked. "Hear what?"

Kei was quiet for a few moments.

"Let it out, Kei!" I exclaimed, frustrated already.

Kei's eyes glinted in sadness.

"Len's moving to South Korea."
