I must admit that this will be the stringing of drabbles

Yui didn’t have to think that far about what had happened. It wasn’t fair for anybody but her heart started to beat quickly. She strutted into the room with Yui setting her attention to the rest of the group. Rie could feel it again as Yui strictly paid attention to the one person. Words couldn’t describe the situation as Rie turned to Sayaka as they saw the tension.
“Shall we split up for now?” Rie suggested.
“Okay, I need to talk to Mariyagi…”
Yui stood stoically in front of her as Rie bowed from the room following the team out.

“What’s happening?” Sayaka asked as Rie closed the door.
“The worst secret is what happened between them.” Rie started.
As the co-captain explained the situation, Sayaka knew a bit of Yokoyama’s relationship style, cold yet lukewarm. It was still a mystery among them and with others that she had known about including the brief romantic relationship with Rie.
“Aren’t you bitter?” Sayaka asked when she saw her lips curl.
“It isn’t my job to make Yui happy. She had to do it herself. “ Rie narrowed her eyes. “You know how it works?”
Sayaka rolled her eyes toward her. “Yups!”

“What happened had been for a reason.” Mariyagi explained.
“It doesn’t make me feel any better.”
Yui bit her lip as she couldn’t keep eye contact despite being the only two in the room. She had been blessed with everything that she had achieved except for the one issue. Yui never played the playboy card but knew that her fickle mind had brought out the worst.
“Mariyagi, give this one chance for me.” Yui begged when her eyes lowered. “It will be brief.”
Mariyagi lowered her eyes to the ground. “Fine, here it is.”
Yui felt her heart flutter again.

Jurina had glanced at her phone when she saw the name pop up. Her heart had dropped when she jogged over Rie as she had finished the discussion. “What shall we do?”
“We let this work out…”
Jurina felt her stomach turn. “Yui is only going to turn on the flame.”
Rie knew the words would only bring out the worst. “Just say you’re doing fine and close the phone.”
Jurina nodded as she rushed over to the bathroom to finish her text. She felt relieved that she had known that the fire was now blazing. “Ranran will never know.”
16.
“I guess everything is fine.” Ranran sighed as the rest of team S had come together when Sae could see the despair in the woman’s eyes.
“Are you worried about something?”
“Nothing…”
Sae tilted her head as the rest of the team seemed to watch the two as they exchanged looks. She knew Yui’s habits well enough but it would seem weird that Jurina had gotten the answer. Sae looked around and gave them the rest of the day off with a head nod. The team bulled out the door leaving the two alone in the room.
“We must go.”
