13 Vol 1 : Ch 13 - You're a man and be a man.

Vin just observe the two of them, the one is like his sister to him while the other one is want to be his future wife but it might won't happen because he made a wrong move that cannot be amend. If he didn't got drunk that night or even being a bastard to her during that chat instead being truthful to her then he still have a chance but then it's too late since it already did and right regrets always comes last.

Vin just keep silent for the whole time and eavesdropping to them that enough him to heard it everything clearly. Every word he heard from Rei was like a knife that stabbing one by one to his heart. He also feels upset to his own-self because he always said to everyone including that they're only a friend and yet when he heard from her, he doesn't know why he always deny that time when the fact he really loves her.

He heard that Rei is going now and notice she's taking a step that cause him to stand right away while calling her because he feels that this day will be the last time he see her since he heard what Rei deals to Xue with.

"Rei?"

Both Rei and Xue froze the moment they heard Vin voice. Rei wonder when did he arrives meanwhile Xue suddenly got nervous if he heard everything or not since she doesn't realized that his here already. She also wondered how did he come in when she already instructs the manager to let no one can't enter the shop and not letting in especially this guy here standing facing them. Rei still not replied to him and hesitating what she's going to do.

Vin looking to Rei and more mesmerize to her beauty that he almost lost control of himself.

"Rei, can I talk with you alone?"

"...."

Xue afraid that she got caught red handed and still think that maybe Vin just arrive now. So, she stand and approach Rei, then ask her innocently.

"Eh Rei, who is this guy? You're boyfriend perhaps?"

Rei just looking at her and didn't hesitate what she's going to say, instead of saying it out loud she whisper it to her.

"Please Xue, don't hurt yourself anymore."

Hearing that one from her, Xue doesn't know what to do anymore but then Vin interrupted their awkwardness.

*Xue please let me talk with Rei alone, okay?"

"No, you can't"

"Please Xue, I need to talk her."

"When I said No, it's a No you can't change my decisions."

Vin got angry that cause him to said it out loud.

"Then what do you want me to do? Dragging you here so that you will agree that I can talk with Rei alone?"

Everyone which are the staffs of shop are looking at them now, Rei notice it and feel like she was a homewrecker and want break them up. It become more intense because Xue shout back to him and Vin shout her back again.

"Then go ahead and drag me here as long as you're satisfied."

"You want me to do that, then don't complain."

"Both of you, stop acting like a 4 years old kid."

Vin and Xue stop arguing when Rei compared them as a 4 years old and repeat it together "4 years old?"

Rei nodded and explained. "The way you act right now is already a 4 years old kid, no it's not 4 years old kid since some child who's at that age already act more mature compared to both of you. For goodness, we already 24 years old but you still arguing like they're no tomorrow."

"But Vin/Xue....." both said in sync like they've been scolded by their Mother but Rei cut them off.

"No buts from both of you. Vin I will talk you alone and Xue I won't forget what you said to me"

Seeing the seriousness of Rei, Xue stop and said.

"Okay, I will go home first and both of you can talk alone"

Xue left but then she hide somewhere in the corner and eavesdrop them. Vin didn't notice Xue but Rei know it already because she's always like that if it always involves with Vin. She just realize it after what Xue did but she didn't inform Vin and just let it be to avoid anymore misunderstanding from her.

"Thanks, Rei."

"I don't want to be messy in here, so I need to stop both of you before it's going to be too late. Remember, regrets always comes last"

Vin nodded and already know that Rei didn't even take a seat the moment she arrives and it's almost 6pm from the time she arrives, in other words Rei just standing for almost 2 hours while talking to Xue.

"Rei, let's take a seat first."

'That's right, I didn't even seating down the moment I arrive' Rei realized and then replying to Vin "thanks Vin" both of them seating in opposite to each other, Rei didn't go run around the circles and just said directly.

"I'm sorry for what I told you that one Vin and I'm not avoiding you because I'm really busy for the whole month. It must been hard for you since I didn't bother to explain it to you. If I explained it earlier we will not become like this now, I'm sorry Vin."

Vin feel guilty because Rei didn't do anything wrong.

"Don't blame yourself Rei, it's not your fault. I just lost my patient and got drunk. I mistook Xue as you and something happened to us. I don't know what I'm going to do now."

"It already happened Vin and you can't take it back as normal again. You're a man Vin and be a man, take responsible for what you did."

"...."

Then the surrounding become awkward.
