After that, I had accompanied Kairi to his usual hideout.

 

According to Kairi, it was possible that the men from the hotel could be in the area and might seek revenge.

 

Kairi: "OO, why are you still hanging around me?"

 

OO: "Well I…"

 

I could still feel the lingering sensation of the embrace from earlier, and I hadn't been able to quiet my heart.

 

I took a breath and searched for the right words…

 

OO: "It's because… I'm curious about how you look at me Kairi."

 

Kairi: "Even if you get attacked because of me?"

 

OO: "…yes."

 

I hesitated but nodded, and Kairi's face grew strained.

 

Kairi: "I'm not the kind of guy you think I am. You know right? That I'm an assassin. And yet you still say you want to hang around me?"

 

OO: "…"

 

I couldn't say anything, and Kairi suddenly looked away. A few seconds later, he opened up.

 

Kairi: "You already know, right? About my country. My country…was destroyed as a certain organization pulled the strings from behind the scenes. I was still a kid, so I didn't really get it. But I've been told the ringleader was someone close to my father. However, that person totally vanished. My younger sister and I were the only ones to just barely get out of there alive…but in the end my sister was…"

 

OO: "…!"

 

He bit his lip at the painful memory, and I didn't know what I could say to him.

 

Kairi: "That's why I've been gathering information on the ones that killed my sister, so I can get my revenge. I entered the organization, and became an assassin."

 

OO: "Then who were those men earlier?"

 

Kairi: "Pursuers from the organization. In the end I wasn't able to get any information, and because I left, they sent those guys after me. That's why I'm not a guy you can put your trust in. It's unthinkable for me to trust people, and I don't want to get involved with anyone. I don't want what happened to my sister to happen again…"

 

OO: "…"

 

Kairi: "So when morning comes, you're leaving this country. It's dangerous to be with me."

 

With a pale face, Kairi gave a lonely smile.

 

I couldn't bear to look at that face…

Kairi seemed to be completely absorbed in something, and his eyes wavered.

 

But it only lasted an instant, then he shook his head and looked up.

 

OO: "…?"

 

Our gazes became intertwined.

 

I stared at Kairi, forgetting even to blink.

 

Kairi: "You…I've thought this ever since we met, but you're similar to my little sister. That's why…even though I tell myself I don't want to associate with you, we end up together."

 

He narrowed his eyes as if turning away from some bright light, and as I had thought, they were truly full of pain…

 

I'm like his sister…? That's why he always looks so pained when he looks at me. That's why…he protects me.

 

What he saw, reflected in those reddish brown eyes, wasn't me.

 

Learning of Kairi's true intentions was a little bit jarring.

 

Kairi: "…sorry, forget what I said."

 

OO: "…"

 

After that, the conversation was sparse, and I eventually fell asleep.

 

…

 

……

 

Nn…what's that?

 

As I dozed, I felt the gentle warmth of someone's palm.

 

And then there was a ticklish sensation as fingers stroked my head, delicately, as if I were fragile…

 

Kairi: "Why do you so easily trust people…it's absurd. Even now, you come to my place and are so at ease that you fall asleep like this…why…"

 

Those words that reached my ears with full of kindness, and reliability.
