DING DONG BING BONG!
"Attention kiddos, it is now 10pm, which means go to bed! Now! Go! Do you want to get killed?"
I headed up the stairs to my room when, suddenly, I heard a loud fight coming from down the hall.
Curious, I turned the corner to see Rouko Soba blocking Hisoka Yuuto's door, stopping the boy from entering. Kyung Hye watched from a little bit away, worried.
"You have to socialise with us!" Rouko shouted.
"I j-just want to go to my room." Hisoka replied, kicking at the floor.
"No! Because if you go back to your room, you won't leave again, and how are we supposed to make friends with you if you hide?" Rouko asked.
"I won't." Hisoka said.
"Rouko...please let him go." Kyung spoke up.
"No! He has to make friends!" Rouko replied.
"Your...assumptions...might be too big." Kyung said. It took me a minute to figure out what she was trying to say.
"They aren't! Yuuto, you have to make friends! Go out and talk to people!" Rouko said.
"I-I'm...I'm tired." Hisoka stuttered.
"Then we'll have a sleepover!" Rouko reached over to touch Hisoka, but he stumbled backwards, alarmed.
"Hey, what's going on?" I asked.
"Yuuto won't talk to us!" Rouko said.
"It is...night time. Let him sleep." Kyung sighed.
"P-please let me through..." Hisoka murmured, reaching for the door handle.
Rouko threw herself in front of it though, surprising the poor boy.
"He'll probably come out tomorrow morning." I said, "why now?"
"Because!" Rouko harrumphed.
"We haven't seen him...since the trial." Kyung expanded, "Rouko was worried."
"We'll do a Fuyutake on him! He can join us in a food fight or something and then everyone'll trust him!" Rouko shouted.
"A food fight now?" Kyung scratched her head.
"Yeah!"
"Isn't that a little bit...imaginary?"
"I-imaginary?" Hisoka asked.
"That's not the right word...but yes! Imaginary! Like you were before the trial, Yuuto!" Rouko cried, "now come with us!"
"J-just let me sleep, p-please." Hisoka mumbled.
"Sleep-over, you mean." Rouko grabbed Hisoka's hand and tried to pull him away, but he stood his ground.
"Rouko, just leave him alone, maybe." I said.
"No!" The Translator replied. She tried to pull him behind her but only got a couple of steps before Kyung stopped her.
"This has...gone too far." She said. She gripped Rouko's arm and pried her fingers away from Hisoka's hand, finally letting the boy go.
"T-thanks." He spun and dipped into his room, slamming the door behind him.
"You can let go of me now, Kyung." Rouko grumbled.
The Exchange Student didn't move.
She was too busy staring at something on Rouko's wrist.
"Come on, you're gripping too tightly." Rouko laughed, but it was higher-pitched. Stressed, even.
