Junpei woke up later than he normally did. He shuffled down stairs to find Yukari cleaning up the dining room table. She looked up and sighed when she saw Junpei. "First you miss breakfast, now you come down still in your pajamas? Ugh Junpei, what s your deal?"
"Shut up." He growled and walked pasted her. She paused and watched after him as he went towards the kitchen. He sighed, not really hungry. "Sorry Yuka-tan. Had a bad night. That's all." He turned on his heels and bolted to his room.
After calming down, Junpei went back down stairs fully dressed with his phone opened in his hand. "Yo. Yuka-tan. Where s Minako? She didn t answer her phone."
Yukari looked up from her book and gave Junpei a strange look. "She went out with Akihiko-senpai. Why?"
He huffed. "I'm out! Later Yuka-tan!"
He sat outside the theater on the bench. He had wandered through Paulona Mall and ended up not finding any trace of Minako or Akihiko-senpai. He sighed and hung his head in his hands.
"Junpei?" His ears perked as a familiar voice called out his name. "Junpei! What are you doing here?" Looking up, he saw Minako s smiling face and Akihiko-senpai s confused and irritated face.
"Yo Minako! Senpai! Funny running into you guys here!"
"Yeah funny. Akihiko huffed.
"What's up Junpei?" Minako was clearly oblivious to the tension that was rising next to her in Akihiko. Junpei knew he wasn t pleased, it was written all over his face. He was going to get hit later, he knew it.
"Nothing! Nothing I was just looking for you guys, wanted to know if you guys wanted to hang out, go get some ramen or something." He smiled and tucked his hands into his pockets.
"Ah well..." Minako looked at Akihiko as he slipped his arm around her waist.
"Sorry Junpei, but we had previous plans."
Minako nodded and smiled at Junpei. "Maybe next time alright? We gotta get going! See you at the dorm!" She waved as they headed off.
Junpei weakly waved back. "Yeah maybe next time..."
