The Die Inside

The Die Inside
Chapter 9: The Stranger Feelings



I put the juice next to him and he was confused by the juice.


"?" shocked expression + confused


"This is for You" I replied


"Why?" ask Him to anticipate


"Yes nothing I just want to buy a drink and because You happen to be here I bought it for You too" I replied


After that Me and He didn't talk for a few minutes, He was busy with his cell phone and I was looking at social media over coffee I bought.


While I drink sometimes My hands are diverted to Him, He looks at his cell phone while giving off various expressions, I wonder what He really sees.


"WHAT!!?" he said it cynically because I looked at him


"No, I just thought you had more expression than you did at school" replied I, who closed my eyes


"Are you trying to make fun of me or something?" ask him cynically


"I wouldn't do it if I just wanted to make fun of You, and I wouldn't make fun of You because it's a waste" I replied with a cup of coffee


"meaning?" ask Him


"I'm used to being bullied, so that kind of joke means nothing to do, I am not one to make fun of others just because I have felt it and done it to those weaker than Me" I replied at length


"Ughh" replied He did not digest all of my words


"Ah.., the point is I'm not mocking You or anything like that" I shortened


"Alright if that's what you're saying" jawan he's a little believer


"And I'm a little curious what exactly are you doing?" ask me who is curious


"About what?" answer He is confused


"When you look at your phone you put out a lot of slightly unfamiliar facial expressions" I replied


"I just read the nov-" he said stop


"Humm? the novel?" reply I'm confused


"No" she quickly nodded


"Owh yeah isn't that you?" I said curiously


"Who?" ask him he's nervous


"Rumi-san" I replied flatly


"Egh..., if that's me, why?" reply She's ashamed


"Owh really? glad to hear it" replied I was relieved


"So you are Yuta" he still felt ashamed


"Yes that is" I answered flatly


"Then you're the author of Die Inside" He retorted


"Yes" I replied as I nodded


"Then what are you doing here?" ask Him like at the beginning


"I've told you I'm just taking a walk because I'm writing a block" I replied


"Why?" ask Him


"I don't know maybe because of my bad mood" I replied


"Wait, if you know my pen name and my work means you read it?" ask me quickly


"Yes, Yes" he replied in embarrassment


"Hemm so, I'm sorry for my bad story" said I, who closed my eyes


"Are you kidding me?, it's not a bad story, when I read it I feel what the MC is feeling, the pain, the suffering, the mistrust, the pain, the hatred of all that fused into one produced an excruciating pain, I can't stop not reading it and it was pleasant" He said bluntly


"Ah, Sorry" said the conscious


"hehe, It's okay I'm happy if you like the story" I replied smilingly


When I said like that Rumi-san just fell silent like a surprised person.


"Rumi-san?" call on Me


"Ah, I'm sorry" replied He who realized


"Why?" ask me who is confused


"Nothing, I'm just surprised that you can make such an expression" He replied


"You just smiled but Your smile was different from what you used to do, You just smiled sincerely" He replied


Smile?, indeed I often use a fake smile for some situations but I do not know how I look when smiling sincerely?.


"Ah sorry Rumi-san maybe I made a strange face" said Ku slightly lowered his head


"Don't call Ku Rumi my pen name" she replied


"I'm sorry I didn't know your name was Me-"


"About Akira Harumi it's my name" she cut off my conversation


"Well, Akira" said Ku slowly


"Ughm" said Akira who was surprised his name was called


"Why?" ask Me


"Nothing" he replied


We talked to each other, We talked about a novel, game, or other story, here I saw that Akira is a person who likes to read Books and the like, He talks a lot about that.


Time has shown that in the afternoon, I plan to go home because tomorrow I have to go back in.


"It doesn't feel like it's late in the afternoon" I said looking around


"Yes that's right, it's time to go home" Akira replied looking sad


As I looked around, I found Akira's voice sounding, Akira who heard it also held his stomach and held back his Malunya.


"Are you hungry?" ask me to Akira


"Yes" Akira replied


"Then let's go for a meal together at least it will fill your stomach for a while" said Ku invites Akira


"Good" he answered


Akira and I tried to find a restaurant, I remember a place Aki used to come if I was hungry, We went to the restaurant and ordered some Food.

Time passed by Me and Akira finished filling Our stomachs, Me and Akira came out of the restaurant and decided to go home, while I was walking We just realized that the direction of the house was the same.


"Wait" said Ku and Akira simultaneously


"Our house is the same?" say We at the same time


I didn't expect that the direction of Our house would be the same, We walked next to each other with the awkwardness we felt.


Akira got home first and my house is still a few blocks from here so I continued my journey.


"Aa...., I'm home so where's your house?" ask Akira


"My house is still a few blocks from here so I still have to walk" I replied


"So yes, well then until later" He replied


"Yes, if it's good night" said Ku returned his greeting and continued walking


I walk accompanied by an orange sky.

When I arrived, I got a notification from my novel apk.


Form: Rumi For: Yuta


"A good follow-up story, I can't wait for the continuation of your story to keep your spirit and take care of your health, and also thank you for helping me" from Rumi


I looked at the message and smiled a little, I don't know what smile I'm using Now.


Seriate.
