Acute
Chapter 4: Miku, Luka, and Kaito
"One more vodka, please," Luka asked the bartender as she placed down her glass.
"Coming right up," the bartender replied, handing a glass to another customer.
Luka took deep breaths as she played with the ice left in her glass. Her body might be there in the bar, but her mind was somewhere else as she thought about the dream she had when she returned to sleep earlier that morning.
Her dream made her feel guilty as if she had just committed a crime. Luka knew that Miku was hurting when she saw her eyes. They were full of pain and sadness.
"Why does it have to be like this?" Luka thought, a tear falling from her aquamarine eye as the bartender placed a glass filled with vodka.
Half an hour later, Kaito came in, looking for Luka. He looked all over the place in worry. Finally, he saw Luka, drinking more vodka. He noticed that she drank more than three glasses due to her smell and the way she held herself together.
"Luka, come on, let's go," Kaito said, taking the glass away from Luka's hand.
"But, wh-where are we going?" Luka asked, looking at Kaito like he was a stranger.
"To my dorm room."
"Oh, okay."
Kaito was surprised that she quickly obeyed him. He assisted Luka as she got up on her wobbly feet. Kaito was glad that Luka wasn't as drunk as he thought she would be. She was still able to walk, but she still needed help.
"Hey, Kaito. I'm calling just to check on you. Well, call me back as soon as possible, okay? Bye," Miku said, leaving her 5th message on Kaito's voicemail.
"Why hasn't he picked up?" she thought, worrying.
She held her right hand close to her heart to feel the smooth, cold surface of the ring Kaito gave her. Miku took a deep breath as she closed her eyes to gain more confidence.
She grabbed her phone once again to call Kaito. Sadly, the teal-haired, lonely girl had to leave another message. Miku sighed in worry and frustration, her hope almost gone as she remembered the old wives gossiping before the ceremony and what Teto told her earlier in the café.
"Luka-chan and Kaito, huh," Miku muttered.
"Best friends forever?" asked Miku.
"Forever!" Luka replied.
Their pinky fingers entwined around each other's, sealing their promise. Miku and Luka smiled at each other as they chanted their 'pinky swear' anthem:
A promise made is a promise to be kept
Don't break it or I'll break your neck
Cross my heart, hope to die
Stick a needle to my eye
If this promise is to break
Making it up is hard to make
So might as well just say goodbye
Maybe you shouldn't have told a lie
"We're here," Kaito said, opening the door of his room.
Luka plopped down on Kaito's bed as soon as she got close enough to do it. The tall, blue-haired man grabbed a polo shirt from his closet for Luka to use. He took off his shirt and just threw it on the floor.
"Here. Do you need to take a bath to help you get sober?" Kaito asked, handing his polo shirt as he sat down beside Luka.
"No, I'm fine," Luka replied as she sat up to take Kaito's shirt.
"I had a dream this morning," she said, looking at the white shirt.
"Miku was there. It was just her and I...I felt really bad for her...She said that she trusted me because I was her best friend, but I took you away from her," Luka narrated, tearing up.
Kaito waited until the end of her story to say something.
"I knew she loves you. I knew Miku had feelings for you, but…but I still fell for you. I fell for your blue eyes, your soft, dark blue hair. I fell for your…well, you. Even if I knew it was wrong, I fell for you. I feel bad for Miku…because she trusted me, but I betrayed her," Luka cried.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I thought drinking would help me stop over-thinking it, but it really didn't help," she continued as she wiped some of her tears away.
"It's not your fault," Kaito replied, making Luka look up.
"It's mine. I love you, but I never told Miku that I only loved her as a friend. I played with her feelings. It was my fault. Not yours. I love you, Luka. Don't hurt yourself because of me," Kaito said.
He leaned in closer to Luka to share a fervent kiss with her, firing up the spark they have to make love with each other. They kissed and hugged each other, arousing them to express their love in a more explicit way.
Without his notice, Kaito's phone lit up and vibrated in his back pocket. Due to the passionate moment he was sharing with Luka, he didn't pay attention to his phone, ignoring the call.
Luka and Kaito stripped their clothes off as fast as they could and jumped back in bed to share another passionate kiss.
As Kaito threw his pants to the ground, the phone came out and fell to the floor, causing the 'answer' button to get accidentally pressed. The couple did not even look or paid attention to who the caller was.
It was Miku.
Miku waited for Kaito's voice from the other side of the phone. But instead, she heard muffled voices. She waited and listened to what was going on at the other side of the call. The teal-haired girl was already starting to make conclusions in her head as she heard the familiar voices from the call.
Meanwhile, Kaito's adrenalin rushed in so quick due to the provoking smell of Luka's seductive perfume and strong alcohol breath that he didn't wait any longer. He spread Luka's legs wide open and pushed his hard manhood into her, making her go wild.
"Kaito!" Luka screamed, feeling the pleasure from Kaito's impatience as he pushed his member in farther.
"Luka! Y-you're amazing!" Kaito replied in ecstasy.
Miku's eyes widen as she finally realized what they were doing, hearing their loud, heavy breaths and the creaking of the bed. She trembled in fear as she realized that the painful truth she had been trying to wish away couldn't disappear.
Tears fell down her face as she heard more of Luka and Kaito's moans and heavy breaths, making a perfect melody that expressed their true love for each other.
"You said…together?" Miku whispered before hanging up the phone.
Miku made her way to Luka and Kaito's university, not caring if it was an hour away. She went downtown to take a train that would take her to her destination in 20 minutes. The teal-haired girl wore the ring Kaito gave her even if she knew that the truth was already being shoved into her face.
"Why?" she thought, tears streaming down her face as she got out of the train station.
The rain started pouring as she walked closer and closer to Kaito's dormitory. Miku clenched onto her purse when she saw the big door, finally reaching his dormitory.
With the guard asleep, Miku went ahead and looked for Kaito's room.
"It's the last room on the top floor," Miku recalled from her last conversation with him.
Meanwhile, after they made love, Luka and Kaito laid down beside each other, catching for their breaths.
Luka sat up and leaned on the head board, covering herself with Kaito's blanket.
"I don't think this is right," Luka said, looking at Kaito.
Kaito sat beside her, giving her a shoulder for her head to lean on.
"I think this is really wrong. Even if we love each other, we both made promises that we need to keep," she said, looking at the window as the lightning flashed in the sky.
Out of nowhere, someone knocked on Kaito's door, causing Luka to cower in fear. She hid part of her face with Kaito's blanket so she would still be able to see who it was. Kaito wrapped another blanket around his naked waist to cover his private area. He opened the door to find the teal-haired junior they were just talking about.
"Miku?" Kaito said, backing away from the soaking, wet Miku.
She walked in without permission, dropping her purse outside to reveal the knife she had been carrying inside it.
"M-Miku?" Luka gasped in shock as she slowly stood up.
"I want you to answer me right here right now," Miku demanded, pointing the knife at Kaito.
"Who do you love more?" she asked, tears streaming down her face.
"Luka," Kaito answered Miku straight out.
Miku slapped Kaito's face with her free hand, the echoing sound joining in with the thunders'.
"Are we no longer able to restore everything back to the way it used to be?" asked Luka, standing beside Kaito as she entwined her other arm with his while the other propped the blanket up to her chest to hide her bare body.
"But it was all your wrong doing, wasn't it?" Miku asked Luka, pointing the knife closer to her face to intimidate her.
"The one who broke our promise was also you," Miku continued.
"So, no. I cannot allow such thing to happen," the teal-haired girl said as she shoved her knife into Kaito's abdomen.
"NO!" Luka screamed as Kaito immediately fell to the ground.
The blood quickly spread all over the light-blue blanket and on the floor, tinting Luka's hands a red color as she tried to apply pressure on Kaito's gushing wound.
"How could you do this?" Luka roared, looking at Miku in pain.
"How dare you?" she screamed.
"Kaito! Kaito, hold on," Luka cried, turning to the blue-haired man as she held his hand.
"L-Luka, I want you to know…t-that…t-that I…l-love you," Kaito stuttered as blood started pouring out of his mouth.
"I will snatch everything away from you…Him, your memories, and everything else," Miku smiled as she stabbed Luka.
Luka quickly fell to the ground without even having the time to reply to Kaito. Blood quickly started pouring from Luka's wound, her blood mixing with Kaito's.
Miku cried as she chanted their pinky swear down the dark hallway with blood all over her coat.
A promise made is a promise to be kept
Don't break it or I'll break your neck
Cross my heart, hope to die
Stick a needle to my eye
If this promise is to break
Making it up is hard to make
So might as well just say goodbye
Maybe you shouldn't have told a lie
To be continued...
