Put yourselves in Risa's situation! You'd react in the same way!
CHAPTER 15“Oh, fuck…” She looks at me stunned, I guess that it’s a normal reaction…
“…” I feel relieved now that I’ve said it, but I can’t say anything else…
“Erm…” She says trying to break the silence. “You mean what I’m thinking with “I slept with JunJun”?” Woah, what a genius she is… Can this means more than one thing?!
“Well, it depends on what you’re thinking…” I state.
“It can be that you slept with JunJun because you were talking like friends all the night, or that you were bored so you went to spent the night at Jun’s apartment, or… or that… that maybe you two spent a wild night…”
“The third guess…” I cut her off.
“Oh my god…” She says dramatically, massaging her temples.
“Risa, you can’t imagine how I feel and…”
“Reina! Of course I can’t imagine it! You’ve been passing a night of lust with…”
“Risa! Damn! Don’t be so loud!” I say putting a hand on her mouth.
“Yeah, you’re right. We can’t be talking of this here… Come to my place after the rehearsal. My mom isn’t going to be at home…”
“Risa, I don’t want to talk about this…” I feel enough bad right now…
“I don’t care if you want to or not. But we’re going to have a serious talk. I’ll see you later.” And she leads towards the dance room.
Well, the last thing that I want to have right now is have the subleader vs. kouhai lecture. But maybe she’ll help me to fix the things with Jun… And I really want to fix this, I love Jun a lot, and this is too painful…

“Ok, sit down and listen.”
“…” I nod as I sit on her bed.
“Let’s see, Tanaka, first of all… in what the hell were you thinking?” Oh, Niigaki, so it's true that you’re a genius… Isn’t it obvious?!
“…”
“Oh, you’re not going to reply?”
“It’s not that! It’s just that I know what you’re going to say…”
“Oh, really?” She cuts me off.
“Yes.” I state and she gives a suspicious look.
“Well, prove it.”
“You’re going to say that I should be more responsible, that I should think more that once before doing this kind of things…” She nods… “And that I’m a detestable person…” I say looking at the floor, lost in my own guilty thoughts…
“Oh, no, Reina…” She says as she sits next to me. “Reina, you aren’t detestable, nothing at all. In fact I understand why you have done that…”
“I don’t think so…” I say with a doubtful tone. “After all… I don’t know why I have done it so…”
“It’s simple.” She states.
“Well, seems that I can’t see through the evidence…” I say and she giggles.
“No, you can’t. It was just that you felt alone…” Well, I could see that.
“Maybe the evidence it’s not my speciality, but I know that…”
“It’s obvious that you know that. But to feel alone doesn’t give you credit to be doing that kind of things with friends…”
“Gaki! If you’re going to give me a lecture, at least tell me something that I don’t know!” I yell and she laughs.
“Ok, ok… Have you planned something to fix the things with JunJun?” Isn’t it obvious too?
“No…”
“Well, you have to talk with her…” She cuts me off again.
“I know that too, but she avoids me…”
“Of course she avoids you. She’s madly in love with you… and after this…”
“I know…” Hey, wait a minute… “How did you know that?”
“Know what?” She asks.
“Know that… that she was in love with me…” I mutter letting my self fall onto the bed.
“Well, it was obvious.”
“Then, I was really blind…” I admit reluctantly.
“Yeah, you were… Bah, whatever, you have to talk with her, even if she doesn’t want to.” Yeah…
“Yes, but I don’t know how I’m going to do it…”
“You just have to lock her with you in a room… But don’t do anything more than talk! Ok?!” What the hell…?!
“Very funny indeed, Niigaki…”
“Yeah, yeah…” She giggles. “Well, that’s all that I wanted to talk about. I’ll set you free now…”
“Risa…” I cut her off.
“Yes?” I don’t know how I’m going to say this…
“I’m glad that you are supporting me to fix things with Jun… but…”
“But what?”
“But what about Eri? I said to Jun that this was like cheating, and that’s why we argued… What would she say of this?” She looks at me lost in a doubtful feeling… It’s obvious that she hasn’t even thought about Eri…
“Oh, Kame…” She gazes at the floor… “I don’t know how to answer that… I know that I said that I wanted you to forget about her… but…”
“…” I want to hear what she has to say…
“But this isn’t a good way to forget about her…”
“…” Yeah, this isn’t even a way to forget about anything…
“But technically, JunJun is right… this isn’t cheating…” She looks distant, and has an enormous look of pain in her gaze… But why? “So you don’t have to be so worried about her… It’s about time the fact that you’ll go on and… and I’m sure that she’s aware of that.” I can’t believe that she, who is her best friend, is saying this... At least she's saying it in a tone of weird pain…
“Thanks, Risa.” I say as I sit up again and kiss her cheek.
“Yeah, yeah…” She giggles as her smile returns. “Now go and look for JunJun.”
“Ok.” I say as I stand up and go towards to her bedroom’s door. But before I lock it behind me, she reminds me something with her worried expression again.
“And Reina… Don’t forget to go on with your life…”
