Click. Click. Click. Junpei laid on his stomach with a remote in his hand, flipping through the stations on his television. Boy was he stupid. Of course Minako wouldn t want to hang out with him. She had Akihiko-senpai to hang around with. He didn t know why he was so hung up about it, it was his idea for her to go after Akihiko anyway why was he beating himself up over this? Click. Click. Click.
There was a light knock on his bedroom door and a soft voice could be heard from the other side, calling his name. "Junpei...? Can I come in?"
"It's open." He huffed and turned the television off, then pushed himself up and leaned against the wall. Minako walked in and gently shut the door behind her. Junpei smiled and patted the spot next to him on the bed, inviting her to come sit next to him on the bed. She made her way over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Yukari said you skipped breakfast and dinner. Are you alright? You seem not like yourself."
Junpei chuckled. "Hey don t worry about me Minako. I m alright, just wasn't interesting in what she was cookin today. Don t feel like making myself sick, yanno?" He scooted close to her and hugged her.
"Oh come on, Yukari s food isn t that bad, Junpei." She laughed lightly and patted his arm. Junpei smirked and rested his chin against Minako's shoulder. They were silent for a while, Junpei was just enjoying this moment.
"Minako...I..."
"Junpei, Akihiko wants me to come with him over break and and meet his parents." She quickly said. Junpei froze, his eyes widen and his grip around her loosen and fell. "And... I said yes. That I would join him over break."
Junpei bit his lip and moved away. "So you're just up and going and leaving me by myself over break?" He knew this was coming but he just didn t want it to happen! They would officially be a couple then once they came back. Both Minako and Junpei knew this and she wanted to. He shook his head and tilted his hat over his face. "Well have fun then. Good luck. Ex cetera ex cetera."
Minako gripped her skirt. "You aren't happy about this. I knew I shouldn t have said something to you about this..." She stood and headed towards the door. Before closing it, she looked back at him. "Junpei, you re my best friend and I love you but... but not like I love Akihiko... Have a good summer."
The door closed and all was silent in Junpei's room. He grimaced and chucked a pillow at the door. He wanted to scream, he wanted to yell. I love you but not like Akihiko? What the fuck was that supposed to mean!
