"I have to go get my sweater, hold on." Shinsou said, heading to his room.
That's when Mari turned to Y/n who had Keishi on her lap.
"What are you to him?" She asked.
Y/n stopped texting her friends and looked up at Mari.
"Um...his best friend? Why do you ask?" Y/n said.

"Oh. Well, I just wanted to make sure that's all you were and that's all you'll ever be. I will say I have noticed the way you look at him." Mari said, not making eye contact with Y/n but rather playing with her brown hair.

Y/n's cheeks became hot.
"Yeah, whatever." She said and went back to texting.
"I don't blame you, the first time I saw him, it was like love at first sight." Mari sighed.
Y/n cringed.
"Okay?"
"Oh! Also, please keep your ugly little gremlin away from me!" Mari smiled.
"It's not like he likes you anyway." Y/n mumbled.

Shinsou came out of his room and proceeded to take Mari's hand in his.
"Well, we'll get going now. Goodbye, Y/n, Keishi." He smiled.
"Bye." Y/n smiled.
The pair left soon after, leaving Y/n and Keishi alone in their apartment.
