Footsteps echoed at the third floor's hallway as a pretty young man ran through it until he stopped to hide behind from one of the columns.

"300 yen for a week" He sighed after checking the contents of his wallet. Chatters, laughters and some other people's foot steps followed, making him realized that it's almost time for classes. Inoo Kei is about to step out behind the column when just a little sight of a couple made him changed his mind.

"Yabu and Akemi?!" He saw them walking the hallway. Akemi is talking to Yabu while the guy is smiling. Inoo is also sure that Yabu saw him as the guy locked a piercing gaze towards him. Different thoughts inside Inoo are starting to transform into questions.

"What's happening?" His eyes widen from this sudden surprise early in the morning but a gentle poke to his side made his eyes left the scene before him.

"What are you staring at?" Takaki asked then fixed his sight to the direction where his boyfriend was gazing.

"Oh...Look! It's Kouchan and his girlfriend"

"Girl....friend?" Inoo's brows twitched a little.

"Yes. Kouchan introduced her to me the last time" Takaki nods, stuffing his hands inside his pockets.

"But I'm not looking at them"

"I didn't say that you are staring at them" Takaki laughed a bit, ruffling his boyfriend's hair.

"By the way, why are you hiding behind that column?" The taller guy wondered.

"Here? A-no..." Inoo stuttered. If only he can tell Takaki that he's actually hiding in that narrow space just to check how much money his wallet still has. If ony he can tell Takaki that he badly needs money or he'll be starving the next days. If only Yabu is in there instead of Takaki.

Yabu...

Why is it Yabu's name occupying his mind instead of a possible alibi he needed to tell Takaki.

"Kei are you okay?" Takaki worriedly scooted closer to him. His boyfriend has been slacking off these previous days. Whatever the reason is, Inoo seems not to bother talking it with Takaki. They are together but there's something missing which Takaki feels that it is only him being bothered by it.

"Eh?" Inoo looked at him in the eye.

"Nothing. Saa~ Let's go to our classroom" Takaki extended his hand but when Inoo is about to grab that, scenes from the past flashed to his mind.

"Why are there some patches on your uniform? Can't you buy a new one?"

"Is that true that both of your parents already passed away? Poor child"

"It must be really hard for you. Growing up without a parent"

A distant cry. I searched for the owner the shriek until it led me to a middle school boy, about my age, whose cheeks are wet from that droplets of tears from his eyes. I approached him and he stared at me with his puffy red eyes. I asked him what's wrong and I knew he hesitated first at answering my question. He wiped his eyes then told me that he got lost while he was walking with his mother on the busy street in the city. He didn't panic at first but when he felt that the sun is slowly setting down, that's the time when he wept in frustration. From judging his looks, I'm sure he's from a wealthy family with that silky vest and expensive pieces of jewelry that he's wearing.

I inserted a hand to my pocket for remembering a sweet treat that I can use to make the boy in front of me to stop from sobbing. I stretched out my hand with those things wrapped in colorful plastics. As I thought, he stopped sobbing from the act that I made ( it is what my grandmother always does whenever I feel sad). He stared at the candies on my hand then eyed me from head to toe after that. His gaze towards me and the deafening silence is making the atmosphere awkward but I broke all of that by placing a curve to my lips. He slowly lifted his hand but my smile faded away when he slapped my hand that caused for the candies to stumble on the ground.

"What do you think am I?" He asked at me after I finished picking up the candies. I looked up to him while feeling so confuse.

"I just want you to stop from crying.." I said, holding tightly to the sweets which I bought to my favorite candy shop.

"Am I asking for you to do that?" He crosses his arms then walks closer at me then bursted out laughing .

"I just want you to be happy. I can't stand it when someone is sad"

"Your candies didn't make me happy but your stupidity, YES." I blinked, can't believed what is happening.

"And you're actually giving me candies with that filthy hand?!" He groaned.

"My hands are not dirty at all" I said in protest.

"You're getting it literary" He frowned.

"I hate poor creature like you! Don't ever speak to me again" He added then stares at me full of disgust.

Ever since that day, I realized that people aren't the same. I live a normal life even though we are poor. I encountered a lot of people. All of them are nice. I thought that despite whether you are poor or rich, people are all the same but no. Definitely not. Now, I have this impression about rich people being arrogant and very much full of their selves but I don't know if it was a curse or a destiny when I got a scholarship at a school for the rich member of the society. Of course, they didn't know that I'm renting a small apartment and having a part time job at a, even I like it or not, maid cafe.I made friends with some rich brats there but I'm not making myself that attached to them. I don't know. I just can't.

"Kei.. Hey! What's wrong?" Takaki waves his hand in front of his boyfriend.

"Eh?" Inoo shook his head.

"Let's o to our classroom" The pale guy stares at Takaki then intertwines their fingers making the blonde guy smile to himself.

"I thought you don't want some PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION" Takaki who is grinning like an idiot holds tightly to the hand of his ever beautiful boyfriend.

"This isn't some kind of a PDA mister" Inoo pouted which made Takaki groan.

"Kei your pout. Don't tease me! I would really kiss you in front of our classmates"

"BAKA!" The couple laughs but when they are just few steps to their classroom, a scene startled them and the rest of their classmates.

"That's what you call PDA Kei" Takaki chuckled.

I, Inoo Kei, swore to myself one day that Yabu Kota doesn't hold a special place to my heart ever since he started helping me but why is it this painful? Why is it painful seeing him and Akemi cuddling? Why my tears are falling? Why?
