Shino is speechless in what he heard from his friend.. He look at Kazumi and went back.

"Welcome back.." Kazumi said.
"... Ah."

Shino cant look in his eyes.. Kazumi just look at him.

When the class ended. Kazumi asked Shino.

"Did you have an appointment today?"
"Nothing."
"Then can we go home together?"

Shino look at him and Hiro suddenly came.

"Shino.. Going home now?"
"Ah."
"Want to join us? We will go today at the karaoke."
"Sure.."

Kazumi just look at them.

"... Then I guess I'll leave first." Kazumi excuse himself.

Shino just look at him.

"Lets go Shino."

Shino and his friends left already. While Kazumi is on his way home.

Shino's group reached the karaoke box. Kazumi stop in the middle of the road and thinking. Then the rain suddenly falls and Kazumi run fast.

It was morning. Kazumi is waiting Shino as his daily routine. Shino always waiting in Kazumi's apartment to walk together to university. But Shino didn't come.

When Kazumi reached the room, he saw Shino already there talking to his friends. Shino saw Kazumi. Kazumi search for a sit. The class starts.

When the break time comes Kazumi went to where Shino.

"... Shino.."
".. Hmm, Kazumi? What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing.. Then I'll go now.." Kazumi left.

Shino look at Kazumi while he left.

At the door Kazumi meet Hiro and Hiro look at him while entering the room.

When the next class start. Kazumi didn't attend his next class. Shino is looking in his surroundings and he cant find Kazumi. They start the class.

It was late, Shino passed by in Kazumi's apartment. There's no light in Kazumi's apartment and he thought that Kazumi is not there. Shino left already and went back home.

Kazumi is in his apartment since afternoon lying in his bed..

Shino came back home and straight in his room. He remember what Hiro said to him.

「I know him since high school. Actually he dont know me. But I am his sempai's friend in his high school days. That guy Kazumi dont like to deal other people but my friend, his sempai, he seduced him. And my friend has a girlfriend that time. He ruined there relationship.. But few months later they reunited.」

"I never thought he will do that.. But its bad to avoid him like this. I guess I must talk to him tomorrow." Shino utter to himself.

When the morning comes.. Shino is waiting to Kazumi's apartment. But no Kazumi coming outside. He tried to call Kazumi but his phone is off. Shino thought that Kazumi might be in the university already.

When he reached the university, people in the room..

"Is that true that Ito Kazumi quit university?"
"Eh? Kazumi quit the university?"
"Yes, yes."

Shino was shocked in what he heard and interrupt with there conversation.

"Is still Kazumi is still here in university?" he asked.
"... Eh? I saw him lately in the lounge but I dont -"

Shino run immediately. He search for Kazumi but he cant find him. He skip his lesson and went in his apartment. He saw a guy in Kazumi's door.

"K-Kazumi!" he grab his hand

The guy look at him.

"Who are you?"
"Ah. Sorry." Shino apologized for mistaken him.
"You said Kazumi, right?"
"Ah, yes. You know where is he?"
"... Why do you know him?"
"Ah.. I am his friend."

The guy laugh at Shino.

"Are you joking?!" he said.
"Huh?!"
"That guy dont have a friend. How can you be his friend?"

Shino got pissed off and grab his clothes.

"Hey! Hey! Pull out your hands in my clothes."
"Dont joke around. I am telling the truth!"
"Telling the truth? What? That you are friend of Kazumi?"
"... Yes!" he removed his hand in his clothes.

This guy fixing his clothes and look at Shino. Shino noticed that he really looks a like to Kazumi.

"Who are you?" Shino asked.
"... I am his-" he saw Kazumi came back.

Suddenly Kazumi came.

"... Shino.."

Shino look back and he saw Kazumi.

「幸せになろう」Chapter 2

Its been three weeks when I meet this guy named Tatsuya Shino. He asked me to become one of his friend and without realizing it I became closed to him. We share email address and phone number too.

Everyday he came to my apartment and we always walk together to university. I feel happy when I am with him. Its was too nostalgic for me.

"Later, at lunch where should we eat?" Shino asked Kazumi.
".. Where do you want?"
"Hmm.. Since our class this afternoon is at 2 pm right? We still have time so why dont we eat outside?"
"Sure.."

Shino stare at me.

"W-What? Is there something in my face?" Kazumi asked in shocked.
"Nope. I just noticed you dont smile."
"Eh?"
"You know I saw your face is cute. So if you smile I guess you will be more cuter than I thought."
"W-What are you saying?!" Kazumi is blushing.
"I am telling the truth."

When I saw Shino's serious face when he said that my heart suddenly throb.

It was lunch time and we eat outside. Shino keeps on talking while me I am just listening to what he is saying. He is telling about his past. Shino suddenly stop talking and stare at me.

"Kazumi.. I keep on talking here but all you do is to listening."
"S-Sorry.."
"Try to talk more y'know.. Hmm, then why dont you tell about your past too?"

I was shocked when he said that..

"... Only not my past.." Kazumi whispered.
"Hmm.. Why?"
"Why? I dont want to talk about it."

Shino stare at me but I cant look to his eyes.. I am avoiding his sight to me.

"Ok.. Then I wont force you. Want to go somewhere? We still have time though.."
"... Ah, anywhere is fine."

We went somewhere to spend our break time at university. We went back at the university.

When we enter the room, Shino's friend came in where we are.

"Shino!" Shino's friend called him.
"Yo. Hiro."

This guy look at me fiercely.. I dont know why but I have my guess..

"Shino, can we talk?" Hiro asked.
"Sure.."
"But not here.."
"Ok.. Kazumi I'll be back."
".. Ah."

I was left behind. I dont know what are they talking about but I have a feeling about this.

"When did you become friend with that guy?" Hiro asked.
"That guy? You mean Kazumi?"
"Yeah. He dont like associate to other you know."
"I know."
"You must stop.. I know him since high school.. So you must stop being friendly to him.."
"You know him since high school?"
"Yeah. But he dont know me.."

I want to know what are they talking. I am just looking at them since they looking at me. And I know I am the one they're talking..

"I am telling the truth.. Its better not to get along to him.." Hiro added.

Shino look at Kazumi while Kazumi reading books..

Shiawase ni Narou Chapter 1

「幸せになろう」Chapter 1

It was years ago when I graduated in high school and I am now a working student. I am the kind of person who dont deal with the society and I like being alone.

But it was happened past few days when I met this guy...

"I never thought this will be too many people in fast food in this time.." I thought to myself while searching for a table.

When I saw a table, this guy picked the table too...

"Ah.. You can have the table." I said to him and I leave.
"... Wait!" He grab my clothes.

I look back to him..

"Sorry. We can share the table since its for 3 persons.." He smiled.

I cant refuse to his offer but share the table with him. It was too awkward. I dont know how to deal with people and I just keep silent while eating, but...

"Sorry, if I force you to sit here.." he apologize.
"... Its fine, though no table left to place with."

He is looking at me while I am eating and its too awkward for me and cant eat properly.

"By the way, what's your name?" He asked.
"Hmm?" I look straight to his eyes.
"S-Sorry never mind."
"Kazumi.. Ito Kazumi."

He look at me straight. He laugh..

"I thought you would not going to tell your name.. Nice to meet you Kazumi, I'm Tatsuya Shino.."

Shino smile gentle at me..

It was morning and I have class at nine. I left the apartment early and came at school early. I went in the library to borrow some books to read for my subjects. Five minutes before the class start and I went in the room.

I always sat in front of the board since people came inside using the back door and I cant deal with them by greetings..

Someone sat beside me and I move aside a bit and this guy look at me..

"... Kazumi?"

I was surprised when he called my name and look at him. It was Shino who called my name.

"I didn't know we are in the same class.." he said with cheerful voice.

I cant reply but hear people looking and talking about me..

"Is that you who always sitting in front?" Shino asked.
"... Ah."
"That's why I didn't recognized you. Since no place to sit, I sit here in front."

Shino keeps on talking to me but I just ignore him. I heard people at back whispering.. I was safe when the professor came..

I leave after that class, and went in a quiet place in the campus.

"That was too bad.." Kazumi make a big sigh.

I saw a shadow down in me and I thought it was the cloud and I look up I saw Shino in front of me standing. He gave me a surprised.

"Yo! What are you doing here?" he asked.
"... Nothing."
"Eh?" Shino sat beside Kazumi.

I look at him playing the grass and I look up the sky. Shino look at me.

"Are you always alone?"

I was surprised to his question and look at him.

"Why do you asked?"
"Why? Hmm. I just noticed it lately when I am talking to you at room."

I never thought that this guy will recognized it too..

"But.. Its better to be alone just for a moment. But try to associate with the others too and that will change your mood." Shino said while looking at Kazumi's eyes.
".. I dont have time dealing with others."
"I see.. Then why dont you try to hang out with me?"
"Huh?"
"I will accompany you.. I mean I want to become your friend." Shino smile at me gently.

I am speechless and dont know what to answer. But.. I am happy to hear that.

"You dont like?"
"N-No."
"Yay! Then for now on I will be your friend." Shino smile.

I was happy.. But I am scared that it might be happen again the same in years ago..
