"That's Fujio and Kiko we're talking about."

          Tsukasa and Todoroki went to walk to the beach, far away from everyone. They took Fujio with them so that he could cool his head.

"You good?" Tsukasa spoke, causing Fujio to turn to him.

"Yeah," he muttered as he continued to walk by the shore.

"You were right, you know?"

"What?" Fujio stopped as he turned to his two friends.

"But it wasn't right to yell at Kiko like that," Todoroki told him, crossing his arms over his chest.

He stared at Fujio, awaiting his reaction. He didn't expect the male would go quiet and won't deny it.

"I know," Fujio muttered, "I was just worried. She already told us she couldn't swim, that's why I..."

"Well, you care about her. I guess that's normal," Tsukasa said, "I would've felt the same if it was Nozomi."

The two males nodded in understanding as silence filled the both of them.

Fujio instantly regretted how he yelled his frustrations to Kiko. He didn't mean to tell her that. He was going to say how worried he was but his frustrations overcame him.

He knew he had the right to feel like that but he shouldn't have said all those things.

Kiko is important to him. That's all he knew and he couldn't stand seeing the girl in danger.

"Are you worried she's mad at you?" Todoroki asked.

"N-No..."

"Don't worry about it," Tsukasa scoffed, smirking at his best friend.

Meanwhile, the twins tried to look away at Odajima Yuken's piercing gaze to no avail.

He was standing in front of the two, his arms crossed, and looking angry at them. Mostly on Kiko.

"Did you two think for a second before helping that girl?"

"No."

"Yes."

The twins answered at the same time, causing them to glance at each other.

"I was just trying to help. Is there something wrong about it?!" Kiko exclaimed, already confused and fed up about it.

"There's nothing wrong," Nozomi told the girl, causing her to smile, "What's wrong was going there without thinking about yourself."

"Wha–"
