“It’s over now so stay away from her. Keep your promise as I have kept mine.”
“Eh~ You seriously took that promise for granted..? Come on, let’s do it again sometime. I know you like it.”
“Lay your hands off from me.”
“In truth, you wanted it too don’t you? I knew you had always liked me. Your expressions, your scream, your breath, all of your being was screaming for more as we did ‘it’…it was sickeningly sweet. Besides - ”
“Whatever you say won’t have an effect, Ken. I’ll make a fresh start for both of us. And this time…without you.”
“Make a fresh start? What are you talking about? You’ll never be able to get away from me. You’ll always be MINE… MY - ”
“NOOOO!” A shout was suddenly heard as a raven haired girl got up from her bed, panting hard. Cold sweat was evident on her already pale face, making her hair wet and sticky. Her hand was clutching her chest, she could feel her heart beating at a faster rate than normal.
-Knock Knock-
“Rena- Gekikara-sama? What happened?” A figure ask as she opened the door only to see her best friend panting hard to the point of hyperventilating.
The so called ‘Gekikara-sama’ took a few seconds to calm her still frightened self before putting on her usual expression: an expressionless poker face and answered, “No, it’s okay Kumi. Sorry for causing you worry.”
Getting up, she took the towel handed by Kumi as she walked to the bathroom, “What’s my schedule for today?”
“Hai, today all you have to do is a check-over on the newly security system performance.” Kumi answered as her mistress took a shower. Now, one might consider this to be rude since nobody likes to be disturbed during their personal time but not for Matsui Rena or more known as Gekikara. Being the founder and the president of the strongest programming company, Matsui Co. , Rena doesn’t have time to care about typical things such as ‘personal time’. Apparently, she spends her days more in her company than she does in her own house.
“I see. How is the condition for the new security system patch? When’s the next meeting for board of directors? And what happen to those noisy shareholders?”
The conversation continues with Rena asking questions and Kumi answering every single one of them until Rena entered the company’s car. Only then, no more words were heard from here as she focuses on the laptop and flipping through numerous files given to her.

It was a few minutes past midnight when Rena finally walked out of the company. She can’t go home since she had told her chauffeur to go home earlier before and it’s too late to take a train. Rena doesn’t mind walking but the rain cancelled her intention. With no other choice, she decided to rest at the 5-star hotel nearby.
Entering the door, Rena was greeted by the staff which she answered with a small nod. As she walked towards the reception area, her eyes keep scanning the area. The design, the marble floor, the glistening bronze statue, everything. The lobby was empty but that was not what she was seeing. Ever since entering the business world, her mind kept devising plans that she had a pile of paper full of business strategy piling up uselessly on the corner of her own room.
“Yes, how may I help you miss?” The receptionist questioned as he looked at Rena ridiculously.
“I’m staying for the night. Give me the most private place you have. I don’t want to be disturbed.” Rena replied as her eyes still scanning the lobby, her mind endlessly working like a clockwork as they started to devise strategy to overcome the patent of this current hotel she’s in.
“Then, I would say the our Royal suite would- ”
“I’ll take that room.” Rena interrupted flatly.
“With all due respect miss, but even our normal single room would cost a fortune let alone the Royal suite. I’m sorry but that room is our most expensive. I doubt that you can-“ The receptionist said in a mocking attitude as he observed Rena who was wearing a plain suit (the receptionist would know, since he’s used to seeing expensive suits…).
Pulling out her wallet, Rena took out a card and placed it on the counter, “You were saying?”
The receptionist immediately stopped his rambling when he saw the platinum card. If this was a cartoon, his eyes would bulged out and his jaw reaching the ground. “Pla-Platinum membership..card..” His hands shakily hold it and his mouth were agape as though a fish gasping for air.
“But..how..”
“The card is genuinely mine if you’re thinking that I snitch it. Hurry up, I don’t have much time.” Rena showed her id card. Her mood was already bad with all this rain and now she has to face a receptionist who acted like an annoying interrogator.
“H-hai Matsui Re- Matsui-sama.” A glare from Rena was enough to stop the man from speaking out her full name. The man immediately does his job before return back Rena’s card.
“Ah, I don’t need any assistance or food delivery. Just leave the floor out. No. Matter. What.” Rena said, stopping the man from ordering a staff to attend her.
Entering the elevator, Rena heaved out a sigh, “This is why I hate going to hotel.”
Walking out of the elevator, Rena walked to her room. As expected, the only sound that accompanied her was the hollow sound of her own footsteps and the still-pouring rain. Ignoring the latter, Rena walked inside the suite. Taking her clothes off, she went to take a quick shower before going to bed.

It was in the afternoon but it looked almost like night-time due to the cloudy weather. Rain was pouring mercilessly as students ran to avoid themselves from getting more drenched than they already had. Behind one of the school buildings, two girls were standing as heavy atmosphere surrounds them. Both were soaking wet from head to toes but all was ignored.
“…Rena, how could you do this to me! I trusted you!” Yuria cried, disappointment was evident in her eyes.
“Yuria, at least let me explain-“
“There’s no need for any explanation, Rena! I thought you were my best friend!”
Rena approached Yuria and grab her on the shoulder, “Yuria, listen to me! Airi is just playing with your feelings! He’s –”
-Pak!-
Rena felt a stinging pain on her left cheek at the place where Yuria had just slapped her. Rena doesn’t know which was more painful, her cheek or her heart. That was the first time that Yuria had slapped her.
“Enough Rena. I know that you dislike me being with Airi but that doesn’t mean you can say those things just to keep him to yourself!”
“Yuria-”
“You wanted him? Fine! Take it!” Yuria turned her heels.
“Yuria, wait-” Rena tried to reached for Yuria but was instead pushed to the muddy ground.
“Don’t touch me, Matsui.” “YURIA, NO!!”
Rena immediately wake up for her dream. Again, her memories started to play games in her dreams. It was only a year since then and Rena knows that it’ll haunt her but she doesn’t expect it to last until now. Panting furiously, Rena placed her hands on her face. She walked out of the bed and went to the small bar inside the room and grab a vodka. Not minding to pour in a bottle, Rena chugged down the whole bottle in a matter of seconds. Pain registered to her brain and fiery burst was felt the moment the liquid went down her throat but that’s what she needed most at the moment.
Slamming down the finished bottle, Rena was about to take another bottle when she heard a ruffling sound from her suite’s door. If it was the usual Rena, she would have called the hotel management and threatened them to settle whatever it was but alcohol made people do unexpected things. Putting down the bottle of vodka, Rena dragged her feet towards the door.
“Hai~” Rena sluggishly opened the door to see no one. She was about to close the door when she felt something lean on her legs. Rena looked down to see a kid, no bigger than 10 years old was sleeping against her. Being in her drunken state, Rena dragged the kid inside her room and laid him against the wall. Rena crouched in front of the kid, observing his sleeping face.
“Ne~ who are you kiddo? Haha~ You’re cute~Why are you alone~? Don’t worry, since you’re cute, Rena-chan will take care of you~” Rena grinned as she pinched both of the kids cheek. Rena wrapped her arms around the kid.
“Ne, they said a guardian angel will come to you when you’re not conscious and help you. I never believed it but is it true? Are my guardian? If you are, don’t leave me. Don’t leave me all alone. It hurts…It really hurts to be like this. To live like this.” Rena whispers desperately as she slowly fell asleep.
A few seconds later, the kid opened his eye. Taking Rena’s arm off his neck, the kid carried Rena to the bed before wiping away the tears on Rena’s face.
“Of course, I won’t leave you. I didn’t fall for nothing. No matter what, I’ll never leave you…”
“...My dear Rena.”
