My brows creased when I saw an unfamiliar face in front of me.
" Sumiko, thank goodness you're okay. " His pale-white face is painted with worries. I wonder why?
" Excuse me but who are you? " I ask in confusion. I don't remember being acquainted with such a good-looking guy.
" Sumiko? " Other faces showed in front of me. It was Reia's and his friends.
" Ah, Reia do you know this guy? " I said pointing to the good-looking guy staring right in my eyes.
But I wonder, even if I find his face unfamiliar, I think I've seen his face somewhere. Ah. I'm getting crazy over a handsome guy. What the heck Sumiko!
" Eh? No. I thought he is your friend or something like that. Isn't he? "
Friend? Such a handsome guy can be my friend? No way. It's impossible.
" Who are you again? " I asked again. Based on his expression, I could say that he knew me.
He stared at me for a second then he answered. " It's Mint. "
Mint?
Ah! Mint!
" You're Mint? " I ask doubtful. Mint is that doll who follows me everywhere right?
He nodded.
Ah. I didn't recall his face. But at the back of my mind, I know that I knew Mint. So, this good-looking guy is Mint.
" So, you're friends? " Reia asked confused. I smiled at him. He is really such a cute guy.
" I guess. " I grinned and make a peace sign with my fingers.
" Let's go home Sumiko. "
I look at Mint. His face is a little dark as he look at Reia. Wait a minute, do they have some kind of grudge with each other?
" Oh, chill out Minty dude! Reia isn't someone like you think. " One of Reia's friend, Rin said while putting his hands up.
Eh? What are they talking about?
I look at Mint's serious face. So he is really Mint. Why the heck did I forgot such a face? I don't really understand why.
" ... " Mint stayed quiet but he look at the guy who is carrying me.
" Oh. Sorry. " Kira, the guy who carried me, put me down. Without a word, Mint carried me.
" Hey, stop it Mint. It's embarrassing. " I said trying to get down. But this scene is quite familiar to me. I feel a de javu.
" Don't move. " He said in a cold voice.
It's so embarrassing. I want to bury my face so that no one can see it.
" Sumiko, you don't look good. Please see a doctor. " I smiled at Reia. Gosh! He is really cute. And nice too. Calm down lil' Sumiko. A cute guy is just a cute guy.
" She will. " Mint suddenly cut off.
Oh. I suddenly remember the reason why I am here. I'm here to unwind and get fresh air. And Mint, he was... ah, nevermind.
" You know she is fragile. If you don't treat her well, then don't expect her to stay by your side. " The silent guy, Roku suddenly said.
Woah! Clap! Clap! Well said, Roku. But the way he put his words, it seems he was saying that this handsome guy had some intimate relationship with me. And that's totally impossible. If we really have "that" kind of relationship, then I will not forget him so easily, right?
" ... " He throw a cold look at Roku. Tss. Don't tell me he plan to kill all of them with just his stare.
" Take care Sumiko. "
" I know how to take care of my girl. "
What the heck! When did this doll become so possessive? And "his girl"? What the! I am not like that!
" You're going overboard Mint. Stop that. "
I don't know him that well. Well, I do know Mint. But this guy in front of me who claimed to be Mint, I don't know anymore.
He walk away carrying the embarrassed me in his arms.
Even we are far from the guys, I heard them talking about us.
" Ah! So scary. "
" Indeed. That guy really cares for Sumiko right? "
" I have fun today. Let's call it a day. "
I'm glad they didn't bear any bad thoughts about me. I didn't become an eyesore to them. What a nice bunch of guys.
" So, did you find someone to date? " Mint said without averting his gaze from the road.
" Put me down first. I'm not crippled. " I protested.
I look stupid right now. I am really embarrassed and people keep looking on us. I never wanted this kind of attention. Well, I bet no one want this.
He stared at me for seconds and I started to feel awkward. Then he put me down carefully.
" So, are you okay with that Kira guy carrying you? "
" Stop putting it like that, will you? And what is it to you if I'm really okay with it? "
Gosh! He sounded like a jealous girlfriend. Can't he be more considerate? At this rate, I'm going to overthink.
" Right. It's none of my business. " He answered coldly and walked away. Tss. What a confusing guy.
He is really Mint.
But even if he is Mint, I can't let my guard down with him. He is an emotionless doll, but Shane managed to make him show some conflicting emotions.
Ah. I want to unwind but things have gotten worse. I don't know what to do anymore.
A sudden flick of light flickered right in my eyes. And all of the sudden, I remembered the face which I seemed to forgot. Ah. That guy is my doll really. Ah no. He is not my doll. He is someone else's doll.
Ah, but I seem to forgot one important thing. I wonder what is it?
I guess it's better to not remember a thing about him. At least, I will not bear the burden of seeing him everyday. At least, this confusing feeling will fade away.
Before I went home, I stopped for coffee. Coffee really makes me feel relaxed somehow. After finishing two cups, I went home.
But what I saw there surprised me. Sitting at the sofa facing each other is Choco and Mint. Choco's face seemed to be uneasy and worried, while Mint keep his poker face and non-caring facade.
" Eh? What's the matter with you two? " 
Choco and Mint rarely talked to each other ever since Mint moved here. There was an awkward atmosphere between these two and they rarely get along. However, when I arrived, I feel like they were discussing something deadly serious.
Choco stared at me with a strange look.
" Hey, don't look at me like that. Are you planning to assassinate me? " I joked around. I'm not used to Choco's seriousness that it creeps me out.
She then averted her gaze to Mint, then afterwards she spoke.
" Shane was taken away. "
