The air felt thick as Saiki held the girl in her arms while glaring at the group of boys getting ready to defend the girl who seemed to be wondering where exactly it all went wrong. She just wanted to eat good street food and watch fireworks. The girl internally cried at the dramatic scenario happening before her.

"I just wanted to talk with Y/n. Akechi kept spreading false information. He made her scared of me." Saiki rolled his eyes at the explanation

"Look, Saiki. You need to give up on Y/n. Kaido told me about how you flipped out on him earlier today." Hairo spoke as the rest of the group gave a nod. A shaking Kaido peeked from behind Nendo giving his nod. Saiki glanced down at the girl who looked back up at him.

"You're wrong." Saiki disagreed letting go of Y/n who was quick to rush over to the person closest to her which happened to be Hairo who protectively pushed her behind himself.

"We're going to go enjoy the rest of the festival. I advise you spend some time to yourself to think. Really, think." Kuboyasu spoke lowly trying to sound as nice as possible while Saiki just stared at Y/n who nodded quickly in agreement with what the boy said. The group turned away and quickly escaped the scene where Hairo let out an exhausted sigh.

"That was weird!" Hairo joked turning towards the group who just gave a short nod

"How did you know where to find me?" Y/n asked Kuboyasu and partly the entire group.

"Well, it was weird. I just knew where you were and that you needed my help! Like sudden information was shoved into my head. I have no idea how it happened!" Hairo spoke looking up in thought

"Same with me!" Kaido yelped from behind Nendo

"And me." Kuboyasu smiled winking at Y/n who felt her lips curve upwards when realizing who could've been behind the sudden exchange of information.

"Weird." Y/n smiled as the two continued walking

"Oh, did you guys see Teruhashi anywhere?" Y/n asked the group and Nendo rose his hand

"I saw Teruhashi! Come with me, Y/n!" Nendo cheered lifting the girl in his arms and rushing away from the other three who called out for him. Y/n gripped the boy's kimono as he ran through the area until coming to a halt.

"I saw her go up there as we were rushing over to save you! I tried to call for her but she didn't seem to hear me!" Nendo smiled at Y/n who leaned forward hugging the boy

"Thank you so much, Nendo!" Y/n spoke softly to the boy who hugged back laughing

"Of course! Anything for you Y/n!" Nendo said which earned a small nod from the spirit in admiration for the boy's lack of hesitancy to help the girl with anything she wanted. Y/n waved at the boy who decided to go and try out some different kinds of foods. Y/n walked through the small grassy area of the woods finding it hard to not trip through the leaves that were bunched up together. The girl jumped when seeing Teruhashi crying in a particular bush of hydrangeas that camouflaged her from the rest of the passersby that might have been admiring the flowers for themselves

"Teruhashi!" Y/n spoke watching the girl turn to Y/n and tear up more from the embarrassment of being caught crying.

"I'm so sorry. I tried to chase after you but weird stuff happened! But im here now!" Y/n spoke rushing over to the girl's side and rubbing the girl's back as Teruhashi hugged Y/n tightly resting her head on the girl's chest

"Do you love me, too?" Teruhashi managed to get out finding comfort in the hug between the two. Y/n's eyes went wide slightly from the questions she nervously tightened her grip on the girl

"Excuse me?" The girl asked Teruhashi who seemed to not like the answer as she let go of her hug and faced away from Y/n who wondered if she should try to comfort the girl.

"It's fine. I just don't know why I chose a girl... I'm almost mad at myself because of it. If my family ever found out, I would be kicked out and shunned. I just thought — with you — I might be strong enough to accept that liking a girl would be okay. Is it, okay?" Teruhashi shakily spoke out in between her sobs and hiccups. Y/n was quick to hold the girl's shoulder

"It's completely okay! I think it's okay." Y/n smiled at the girl who leaned back onto Y/n's lap where Y/n ran her hands through Teruhashi's silky smooth blue hair listening to a few families or couples walk by having a few conversations of their own.

6:58 (18:58)

"That's enough, we've been wandering around the same area for the past 30 minutes. What are we even looking for?" Kuboyasu frowned at the blue-haired boy who seemed to be squinting at his map

"Well. The uhh restaurant should be over here! Somewhere." Kaido mumbled having to use the flashlight from his phone to properly see the map. Letting out a grunt Kuboyasu ripped them from the boy's hand and briefly gazed at the instructions before slapping the boy on the side of the head

"You damn punk. We've been going south this whole time! We're supposed to be going over here!" Kuboyasu yelled as Hairo held him back from launching another attack on the boy who hid behind Nendo

"It's not my fault! I'm just bad at directions!" Kaido yelled tearing up slightly

"The fireworks will begin in 6 hours and we are still lost and hungry. Let's just go to this one!" Kuboyasu spoke pointing to the small dinner just a little bit ahead.

"But I like the dumplings at this place!" Kaido complained watching the group follow the purple-haired teen without hesitation

"Kaido. Normally I would side with you but im hungry. Plus, Nendo took me here once! They have good ramen!" Y/n smiled at the boy who stared at Nendo with a ludicrous expression

"When did you two go here?" Kaido asked the yellow-haired boy who just chuckled

"We go out all the time off-screen!" Nendo added to the boy who just grumpily walked into the restaurant that seemed to have a few groups of people.

"Table for five?" The lady asked once glancing around the group of people her eyes paused when seeing Teruhashi who was holding onto Y/n's arm for comfort.

"Right this way." She spoke again after grabbing five menus and led the group to a quiet area in the restaurant. Y/n awkwardly rose her hand to catch the woman's attention

"Actually one other person will be here! I was wondering if we are allowed to wait for him till he gets here?" Y/n asked the lady who smiled

"Of course! I'll just take your drink orders first if that'll be okay?" She asked Y/n who seemed to be busy getting over a mini heart attack after finding the guts to talk with the girl. She nervously turned to the waitress and nodded before putting on her calm expression

"I'll have (whatever you want to drink)!" Y/n asked the lady who just wrote it down before writing in her notebook

"What about your friend coming?" She asked the table who seemed to be as oblivious to the joining person as the waitress was. Y/n awkwardly looked to the side before speaking

"Well, im not entirely sure. Red wine? No — Umm, strawberry lemonade will work!" Y/n spoke watching her write it down before walking away

"Red wine? Is some lame adult coming over to watch us?" Kaido huffed crossing his arms

"Why do you sound like some rebellious teenager?" Hairo asked the boy who became embarrassed. Y/n just looked towards the entrance of the restaurant and smiled when seeing a familiar boy talking with the waitress who seemed to be flustered at his appearance. Y/n waved the boy over who seemed to forget his entire conversation with the waitress and speed walked over to the girl's table. Y/n hopped out of her seat and hugged the gray-haired boy who was quick to accept

"Why are you here?" Kaido asked the boy feeling his voice becoming salty. Saiko smiled at the blue-haired boy

"Well, I heard this place had good fireworks. Surely — nowhere near as good as my neighborhoods but I figured I might as well come. Besides, I can't leave Y/n with you ruffians." Saiko said snobbishly turning away from the group who seemed to be struggling to put up with the boy's attitude

"I won't say anything harsh because Y/n's here. But I don't like that you're here." Kuboyasu smiled at the boy who rolled his eyes

"Relax, Kuboku--"
"Kuboyasu."

"I'm only here to enjoy my night with Y/n." Saiko huffed sticking his tongue out at the boy who just rolled his eyes. Saiko looked down at the drink before him curiously then took a quick sip. The girl could've sworn his eyes widened slightly as he began sipping the drink continuously. Saiko turned to Y/n who seemed to be smiling at him and he cleared his throat.

"I have something for you," Saiko said eventually revealing a small bag that Y/n was surprised she had not seen on him.

"I'll give it to you now, but wait till the fireworks start. I'm sure it will provide enough light for you to see it." Saiko mumbled to the girl who smiled a little excited to see what was in the deceptive back with wrapping paper neatly stuffed inside concealing the gift.

"Or we can wait till we're at a streetlight? That should also provide enough light!" Y/n smiled at the boy who seemed to nervously side-eye the girl.

"Well — just wait till the fireworks!" Saiko insisted to the girl who nodded and held her hands out watching the boy nervously put the bag in her hands as she stared at it intently before placing it in the space between her and Teruhashi who also served very interested in the gift.

"So, what's it like staying over at Y/n's place?" Hairo asked trying to start up a conversation but Saiko merely crossed his arms not comfortable with talking about how close he got with the family that he felt a part of the family himself.

"It's bearable. I do enjoy the company of Y/n's grandmother." Saiko explained simply before waving the waitress over who seemed to be staring at him the whole time.

"I believe we're are all ready to order," Saiko stated looking over the group who seemed to be rereading what they want to prepare.

Y/n watched Saiko who seemed to be ordering exactly what Y/n wanted. She was almost amazed that he knew without even asking the girl but then figured he must've figured out what she liked throughout their time together. Unfortunately for her, she didn't know much about the boy. Not that she minded, his company was nice. She smiled watching Nendo playfighting with Hairo who managed to place himself into another choke hold that he barely escape alive once again while being scolded by Kuboyasu who seemed to begin losing hope for the boys.

A/n: hehe... I feel the end coming very soon. AND UHM... I changed my mind last minute who she's going to end up with! I'm as lost as you are, trust me. Your upcoming shock will also be my shock.

It could be either Kuboyasu, Saiki, Saiko, and somehow Nendo!

Or maybe ill just troll you all by making it Teruhashi despite the fact the tag states this is a Reversed Harem. I'm just as sad as you are. I don't know why I do this to myself. I make the girl characters gay for us... Only to break their hearts 😭 it's slowly driving me to madness...

It was cloudy today and I was really happy. But now it keeps alternating between cloudy and sunny which is making me upset... It's cloudy right now so that's good.

Also, why aren't my chapters in order? Some other person pointed it out.... But is it the same for the rest of you? Tell me please and por favor (doesn't actually speak Spanish)
Also if you know how to fix it! 😭💞
(EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT! If it was out of order for you, im so sorry. But it's fixed now! It should be! For those with a similar problem as me just uninstall Wattpad then reinstall it! It should work, hopefully)

See you next chapter!
