Chapter
4
Shinya
twirled
the
piece
of
paper
in
his
hand
'This
time
I
wont
let
him
rip
it!
I
will
not
tell
him
about
it
again'
He
rose
from
the
sofa
and
walked
to
the
bedroom,
he
opened
the
small
drawer
in
the
night
stand
and
put
the
paper
there
'He
will
not
find
it
here,
we
have
all
the
important
papers
here'
He
closed
the
drawer
and
went
to
the
kitchen
to
prepare
lunch.
A
few
minutes
later
the
phone
rang,
and
Shinya
answered
it.
"Hello?
Toshiya!
Yeah
I'm
fine,
just
making
lunch".
He
walked
to
the
kitchen
again
and
stirred
a
spoon
inside
the
cooking
pot
as
he
spoke
with
Toshiya.
He
added
some
salt
as
he
kept
stirring
it.
At
this
time
Die
opened
the
front
door,
he
threw
his
car
keys
on a
nearby
table
and
walked
to
the
living
room,
he
sat
on
the
sofa
with
his
eyes
closed
and
let
out
a
long
sigh,
he
then
looked
at
the
table
beside
him,
he
groaned
and
looked
at
the
other
table
'where
did
the
note
go!'
He
rose
from
the
sofa
and
walked
towards
the
kitchen,
Shinya
was
blabbing
with
Toshiya.
"Yeah
I
did
read
about
that,
ah
the
dress..?
Yes,
yes,
I
told
him
that…
No
the
movie
was
boring...
I
know
that!!
Die
didn’t
like
that
dish..!
Oh
the
bed
sheets
are
green!
No
way"
Shinya
giggled
and
added
the
vegetables
to
the
pot.
Die
sighed
and
scowled
"Shinya...."
Shinya
turned
and
saw
Die
"Oh
Toshiya
wait
a
minute,
yes
honey
what
do
you
want?"
Die
pointed
at
the
table
where
the
phone
was
placed
on
"There
was
a
small
note
which
had
an
important
number
on
it...
where
is
it?"
Shinya
rolled
his
eyes
"You
know
where
we
place
all
the
important
notes
and
papers
Die!"
He
turned
and
added
some
spice
to
the
food
"Yes
Toshiya,
what
were
you
saying?"
Die
puffed
and
walk
to
the
bedroom;
he
sat
on
the
bed
and
opened
the
small
drawer
in
the
night
stand
harshly.
He
flip
through
the
notes
and
papers
inside
the
drawer,
reading
whatever
he
thought
was
the
note
he
wrote,
also
there
were
some
interesting
advertisements
he
collected
before,
such
as
the
car
he
wanted
to
buy,
but
his
eyes
widened
when
he
saw
a
certain
advertisement,
his
eyes
narrowed
and
then
he
stormed
to
the
kitchen.
Shinya
was
still
chatting
with
Toshiya
about
everything.
"Which
brand?
Oh
that’s
nice!"
Shinya
beamed
"Tell
me,
should
I
add
some
pepper?
Okay!"
He
added
pepper
to
the
food
as
he
kept
on
stirring
it.
Die
came
and
stood
beside
him,
Shinya
looked
at
him
as
he
was
listening
to
what
Toshiya
told
him
through
the
receiver.
He
saw
Die's
scowling
face,
which
meant
that
something
bad
was
going
to
happen.
When
Die
held
up
his
hand
with
the
piece
of
newspaper
in
it
Shinya
gasped
and
looked
at
the
pot
in
front
of
him
not
saying
anything,
Toshiya
asked
him
what
was
wrong,
but
he
didn’t
answer,
Die
crumpled
the
paper
into
a
ball
and
threw
it
in
the
pot.
Shinya
gasped
again
and
look
at
Die
who
was
scowling
and
walking
out
of
the
kitchen;
Shinya
groaned
and
turned
the
stove
off.
"Toshiya
I
will
call
you
later.”
He
said
with
pout.
"If
you
have
any
problem
with
him
call
me
again,
I
would
come
and
help."
Toshiya
offered
worriedly.
"Thank
you,
I
will
call
you
later."
Shinya
hung
up
the
phone
and
walked
to
the
living
room,
seeing
that
Die
was
about
to
wear
his
shoes.
"Where
are
you
going??"
Shinya
asked
bitterly
Die
didn’t
answer
him
as
he
put
on
the
other
shoe,
and
then
looked
at
himself
in
the
mirror,
he
extended
his
hand
to
take
the
car
keys
but
Shinya
snatched
them
before
him,
Die
glared
at
Shinya,
as
the
other
glared
back
at
him
equally.
"Why
do
you
want
to
go?"
Shinya
asked
again.
"Why
would
I
stay?"
"I…
Why
do
you
want
to
go~?
Stay
here..."
"It’s
not
like
I
have
anything
to
do
here!"
Shinya
raised
an
eyebrow
looking
at
Die.
“You
didn’t
have
lunch,
and
it
was
spoiled."
Shinya
bit
his
lips
as
Die
complete
"Also,
I
don’t
like
it
when
you
ask
me
where
I
come
from
or
go!"
"You
always
go
out
and
leave
me
alone
in
this
house!!"
"I
told
you
to
go
to
Toshiya"
"I
don’t
want
Toshiya!!
Die~~~"
"Shut
up
will
you?"
Shinya
pouted
and
looked
away...
"A-are
you
going
to
your
-friend-?"
Die
sighed
"Yes
I am
--"
"WHY????"
Shinya
cut
him
off.
"Why
do
you
always
go
there?
Who
is
he...
or
she...?"
He
asked,
taking
aware
of
Die's
look
Die
looked
at
the
floor
then
stretched
out
his
hand.
"Give
me
the
keys"
"No"
"Give
me
the
keys."
Die
said
in a
firm
voice.
"I
said
no."
Shinya
cried
out.
Die
tried
so
hard
to
keep
calm.
"What’s
wrong
with
you?
Do
you
think
that
I’m
cheating
on
you?"
"You
said
it
Die…
YES.
I.
AM.”
He
said
between
his
clenched
teeth,
glaring
at
Die.
Die
looked
so
annoyed
after
hearing
Shinya's
words,
he
snatched
the
keys
from
Shinya's
hand
harshly
and
turned
to
walk
off,
but
Shinya's
voice
stopped
him.
"Stop!!
Onegai...
Tell
me
who
this
friend
of
yours
is
so
when
I
need
something
I
can
call..."
Die
snorted.
"Why
don’t
you
call
my
cell?"
"Because
you
don’t
answer
my
calls,
Die!
I
always
try
to
call
you
but…
you
don’t
pick
up...”
He
said
looking
at
the
floor.
Die
sighed
and
opened
the
entrance
door.
"Die!!!
Please!!"
he
sank
to
his
knees.
"Shut
up
Shinya!
You
are
giving
me
headache!"
Die
growled
Shinya's
eyes
widened
and
his
mouth
gaped.
'Die
hates
me...'
When
Die
closed
the
door
Shinya
scowled
and
took
the
nearest
shoe
and
threw
it
at
the
door.
Die
was
standing
in
front
of
the
elevator
when
he
heard
the
bang
and
sighed,
he
knew
that
Shinya
would
do
something
like
this.
'For
how
long
do I
have
to
deal
with
this...?’
He
thought
sadly.
The
elevator
door
opened,
he
stepped
in
and
chose
the
first
floor
and
the
door
closed.
Shinya
was
sitting
on
the
sofa
fuming.
'How
could
he!!!
He
is
so
mean!’
He
looked
at
the
phone
beside
him;
he
held
the
receiver
and
dialed
Toshiya's
number.
"Moshi
moshi."
The
other
voice
in
the
receiver
started.
"Toshiya....."
Shinya
said
in
small
voice.
"Shinya..?"
Shinya
spoke
but
his
sobs
cracked
his
voice.
"Wait,
wait,
Shinya
I
can’t
understand
anything!
Whats
wrong?"
Shinya
sniffed
"Die..."
"What’s
wrong
with
him..?"
"He…
he…
I
want
to
go
over
now
and
talk
about
it"
".....
Now..?"
Toshiya
sounded
confused.
"Yes
now...
I
can’t
stay
here.
I
want
to
go
out."
"Um...
well...
Ok.
I
will
wait
you."
They
said
good
bye
and
hung
up
the
phone
but
something
clicked
in
Shinya's
mind,
he
narrowed
his
eyes
and
looked
at
the
phone.
He
took
the
receiver
again
and
dialed
Toshiya
number.
"Moshi
moshi."
"Anou...
Toshiya...
I
changed
my
mind…
I
will
go
over
in
about
15
minutes,
I
just
remembered
that
I
had
to
do
something
first."
"Ah
okay!!
I
will
wait
for
you."
Toshiya
said
in
happy
tone
and
Shinya
narrowed
his
eyes.
When
he
hung
up
the
phone
again
he
quickly
walked
to
the
bedroom,
took
his
coat
and
walked
out
of
the
apartment
heading
to
Toshiya's
building.
Shinya
was
lucky
that
Toshiya
lived
in a
building
next
to
his.
He
reached
his
apartment
and
rang
the
door
bell;
he
heard
muffled
sounds
and
foot
steps
approaching
the
door.
Toshiya
opened
the
door,
his
eyes
widened
when
he
saw
Shinya's
blank
face.
"Y-you
said
you
will
come
after
fifteen
--"
Toshiya
started
but
he
cut
off
by
Shinya
who
shoved
him
aside
"Where
is
he????"
Shinya
demand
and
Toshiya
blinked,
Shinya
looked
so
irritated
and
repeated
himself
again.
"I
said
where
he
is??
I
know
he
is
here,
get
out
of
my
way."
He
pushed
Toshiya
aside
once
again
and
stormed
inside
the
house.
"I'm
sure
he
is
here
I’m
very
sure
h--"
Shinya
cut
off,
his
eyes
widened;
he
regained
his
senses
quickly
then
turned
and
looked
away,
blushing.
Kaoru
was
sitting
on
the
sofa
with
an
eyebrow
raised
at
Shinya's
behavior,
Toshiya
walked
and
stood
beside
Shinya.
He
looked
at
him
and
then
Kaoru,
then
looked
at
Shinya
again.
"Shinya-chan
what’s
wrong..?"
Shinya
bit
his
lips
and
looked
down
at
the
floor,
he
felt
so
embarrassed.
Twenty
minutes
later,
Shinya
told
Toshiya
and
Kaoru
about
what
was
going
on
between
him
and
Die,
and
how
Die
always
leave
him
in
the
same
hours
everyday,
also
how
he
treated
him
the
last
few
days,
he
didn’t
tell
them
about
the
hospital
or
that
he
wanted
to
have
a
child,
he
only
told
them
about
the
little
girl
Miyu
and
how
he
wanted
her
but
they
didn’t
allow
them
to
adopt
her
because
he
and
Die
were
a
gay
couple.
He
then
told
them
how
Die
left
him
today.
Toshiya
wrap
his
arms
around
Shinya
"That’s
really
bad!!!!!
You
should
do
something
about
it!
Not
leave
him
playing
behind
you
and
you
just
sit
here
crying!!!!!!
If
I
were
you
I
would
leave
the
house."
Shinya
looked
at
his
friend
not
believing
what
he
just
said,
Toshiya
nodded.
"Yes
leave
the
house;
I'm
sure
he’s
got
a
girlfriend…
or
another
boyfriend
maybe!!!"
"Toshiya!"
Kaoru
said
with
a
glare
at
his
boyfriend.
"It’s
true
Kaoru!
I
know
it’s
true!!"
Toshiya
said
and
Shinya
looked
at
the
floor.
Kaoru
made
a
sign
to
Toshiya
for
him
to
be
quiet,
Toshiya
huffed
and
looked
away.
"Shinya…
Do
you
want
me
to
speak
with
him..?"
Kaoru
offered
calmly.
Shinya
was
confused
for
moment.
“..
Speak
with
him
about
what..?
I
don’t
want
to
have
another
argument
with
him...”
He
looked
at
the
floor
biting
his
lips.
"If
he
argues
with
you
again,
tell
me
and
I
will
show
you
what
I
can
do!!!"
Toshiya
sounded
so
irritated.
"Toshiya..."
Kaoru
sighed
then
continued.
"Shinya,
you
said
he
go
to
his
–friend’s-
house,
who
is
this
-friend-?"
"I
don’t
know...
he
doesn’t
want
to
tell
me..."
Kaoru
raised
an
eyebrow.
"Well…
his
friends
are
my
friends
too;
I
will
call
him
and
ask
him
if
you
want?"
"He
doesn’t
answer
my
calls..."
Shinya
sounded
dejected.
"...I
will
call
him
now."
Kaoru
took
out
his
cell
and
dialed
Die's
number,
he
immediately
got
a
message
saying
that
the
number
he
dialed
couldn’t
be
reached
now.
Kaoru
looked
at
Shinya
whom
was
pouting
and
looking
at
the
floor.
"Of
course
he
will
turn
off
his
cell
when
he’s
with
her!
Shinya
he
is
cheating
on
you!!!"
Toshiya
said
while
shaking
Shinya.
Kaoru
sighed
and
Shinya
groaned.
"Toshiya~
don’t
remind
me
of
that
every
minute..."
He
covered
his
face
with
his
palms.
Toshiya
bit
his
nails
and
hugged
Shinya.
"Awwww,
Shin-chan,
I
didn’t
mean
that...
Hmm,
you
can
stay
here,
right
Kaoru?"
Kaoru
thought
for
a
moment
then
spoke
up.
"I’ll
go
and
look
around,
I'm
sure
he
is
in
one
of
our
friends’
houses,
don’t
worry
Shinya."
Shinya
nodded,
Kaoru
walked
out
of
the
house
closing
the
door
behind
him.
Toshiya
looked
at
Shinya
"Ne,
Shin-chan!
Please
smile!"
He
poked
the
other
man.
"Come
on,
I
miss
your
smile!!"
He
whined.
Shinya
smiled
at
Toshiya's
childish
behavior.
"Yes!!
You
look
so
good
while
smiling.
Come
on,
let’s
do
something
fun."
He
thought
for
a
while
then
clapped
his
hands
in
delight.
"How
about
we
chat
on
the
internet???"
He
asked
eagerly,
Shinya
only
nodded,
he
knew
how
much
Toshiya
loved
to
chat.
They
sat
in
front
of
the
computer;
Shinya
looked
at
the
screen
as
Toshiya
told
him
where
to
click
and
where
to
go.
"Shin-chan,
look!
This
site
is
the
best!!
Let
me
write
it,
hmmm….www.chitchat-kitkat-donut.morethanthat.com.”
He
mumbled
while
writing
it.
“Oh
you
know…
I
always
go
to
milkshake
room!
It’s
the
best.”
He
beamed
and
looked
at
Shinya,
the
other
only
nodded
and
looked
at
Toshiya
as
he
typed
and
laughed,
an
idea
clicked
in
his
mind.
"Anou…
Toshiya
I'm
hungry."
Shinya
trailed
off.
Toshiya
looked
at
him.
"Oh,
Okay
I
will
make
you
some
sandwiches!!"
He
smiled
and
walked
to
the
kitchen.
"I
won’t
be
long."
He
added
before
he
vanished
into
the
kitchen.
Shinya
quickly
turned
to
the
computer;
he
opened
a
new
Internet
window
and
typed
in
He
was
lucky
that
he
memorized
the
site
name.
On
the
front
page
he
saw
the
banner
of
the
site
and
read
it
out
loud.
'Are
you
sitting
home
with
nothing
to
do?
Are
you
eager
to
do
something
new?
Visit
Doctor
Kyo.'
Shinya
raised
an
eyebrow
and
clicked
on
the
banner. http://www.wantyoutowantme.helpme.8m.com He
looked
for
the
hospital
number,
he
saw
another
banner.
‘Rare
to
find…
Good
when
found…'
He
clicked
on
it
but
found
out
that
it
was
the
information
page,
he
clicked
back
in
the
browser
and
then
found
a
small
banner
in
the
left,
he
clicked
on
it
then
sighed,
and
it
was
the
contact
page.
Shinya
looked
at
the
computer
table
for
any
paper
and
pen,
he
saw
a
piece
of
paper
aside
with
a
pencil
beside
it,
he
snatched
it
up
and
wrote
the
numbers
down
with
some
extensions,
and
then
quickly
shoved
the
note
inside
his
pocket,
then
closed
the
page.
Toshiya
came
back
holding
a
tray.
"Here
is
your
sandwich,
Shin-chan.
I
even
made
you
lemon
juice
mixed
with
peppermint.
It
will
make
you
relax."
He
said
with
wide
smile.
~*~*~*~*~
"I
see,
thank
you
very
much…"
Kaoru
said
and
closed
his
cell.
He
leaned
on
the
car
wheel.
'Die,
where
are
you?
I
called
everyone
and
they
said
you
are
not
with
them...’
He
dialed
Die's
cell
number
again,
this
time
it
worked,
Die’s
voice
came
from
the
other
line,
and
Kaoru
quickly
spoke
in
firm
voice.
"Die,
where
are
you?"
