Never Not
Ch. 41: Mutually Submerge

"You okay?" Yuriko looked worried after the man's head hit the table again.

"Ti–it's okay," Shohei replied quickly. He rushed out from under the table. Apparently, he became so misbehaved that he did not know what to do after the unexpected kiss happened.

"Shohei-san, your forehead is swollen and reddened," he said as he pointed at Shohei's slightly bumpy forehead.

Bak sees a ghost, Shohei screams in surprise when he sees Yuriko has been beside him. He turned his back to the girl. "Be–really? Ka–then I'll see you in the bathroom."

Shohei rushed to the bathroom leaving Yuriko. As soon as he stood in front of the mirror, his eyes immediately turned to his lips. The scene as her lips and Yuriko's lips stuck together again flashed through her mind. It was as if he could look back at that moment a few minutes ago in plain sight.

That was ... by accident, right? How could Yuriko not be surprised at all! I was a man and he was a woman, our lips stuck together by accident but he looked so relaxed. Is it possible that kissing like that is already considered commonplace in this world.

Shohei shook his head quickly while patting his cheeks as his mind was busy talking. To be honest, despite being thirty-two, she had never kissed a woman at all.

"It wasn't a kiss! That's not a kiss! Our lips just accidentally touched!" he said trying to explain to himself.

Staring back at his lips in front of the mirror, the scene again flashed through his mind. This time it was like a movie recording that started when their buttocks collided, their forehead clashed, their noses intersected until their lips met.

Shohei took a deep breath and then threw it away violently. "That's bu–not a kiss! If so, how could Yuriko-san be that relaxed? Even Seina looked awkward as I was about to kiss her." His mind kept talking. However, a second later his eyes widened as he remembered Seina.

"Is this betrayal?" he muttered with a stiff face. "No! Nah! It happened accidentally. After all, neither I nor Yuriko had any feelings," he said again answering his own question.

Just breathing a sigh of relief, Shohei suddenly remembered one more name. Rai! Yes, he knew very well that his partner was interested in Yuriko.

"Ba–what if Rai finds out about this?" Thinking of Seina and Rai at once, made her head even more dizzy in circles. His face was bowed with both hands propping up in the sink. He felt he had betrayed his lover and friend.

Suddenly, Shohei looked back at the mirror.

"I told you it wasn't a kiss, it was an accident. Our lips met by accident!"

On the other hand, Yuriko touched her lips while remembering how she took the initiative to kiss the man. He realizes he has been presumptuous, especially the position of Shohei is his employer. However, unlike Shohei who was so nervous that he continued to convince himself that they did not kiss, Yuriko even seemed happy because she could kiss the man she admired so much.

"That one, ah .. I want to repeat it again!" he shouted while continuing to mop the floor.

Constantly imagining the sweet scene, making her lips expand until her feminine side as a female appeared. To the extent that, he did not realize that from then on just mopping the same floor. Especially when remembering Shohei's nervous reaction after getting a kiss from him. While biting the fingernail tip on his fingers, he monologued inwardly.

Why would Shohei-san react like that, huh? Is this her first kiss?

Thinking like that made a pink tinge appear on his cheek.

Ah, it's impossible! Tokyo is a free city and he is a mature man, where maybe this is his first kiss. Maybe he was just surprised! Or .. lest he be too fascinated with me, hihi ....

Yuriko was even more excited mopping the ceramic floor without shifting or moving places.

An hour later, Shohei opened the bathroom door quietly, popping his head to peek around. Silent. Has Yuriko come home? Inner asked. He came out of the bathroom with a step that was like a thief.

"Sheya-san!"

The man's body steadied instantly, as Yuriko called out to him from the side.

"I–iya!" Shohei spontaneously turned his body towards Yuriko.

"I've mopped the whole floor. Is there a problem with your head? I'm worried because you've been in the bathroom for an hour."

"No! Nah! Nothing happened to me!" suhut Shohei quickly, "I was just cleaning the sink. That's .. a little crusted," he said.

"really? Why don't you just tell me?" Yuriko immediately opened the bathroom door to look at it, "but .. isn't there no brush or other cleaning tool here?" ask Yuriko in wonder.

"A ...." Shohei looked evil with the perfunctory reasoning he had just thrown out. He looked at his own hand and said, "i.e..I wear my nails!" He showed his hands.

Yuriko's eyes grew instantly. He caught Shohei's hand. "Sugoi! It turns out you're very independent and hardworking!"

Shohei could only hold his breath with his round eyes fixed on their hands.

Yuriko hurried off Shohei's hand. "Gomennasai, I'm so disrespectful!"

Not felt, even evening came. Yuriko exits Shohei's apartment after she finishes her duties. Just as he exited the building, his gaze was directed at Rai who was leaning against the glass window of the building wearing a thick leather jacket complete with Hoodie attached to the head.

"It's over?" ask the man while he is holding his arm.

"Why are you here?" Yuriko asked back in a stupor as usual.

"Nr ..." Poking his lips while thinking of an excuse, Rai replied. "Shohei asked me to pick you up. A little troublesome, dad!" he said while throwing rough.

Hearing that, just contact makes Yuriko even more flattered. He was already made to float by successfully kissing the man, is it possible that he also managed to steal the man's heart?

"Ah, Shohei-san is really a very good man. Even he told you to pick me up because I must be worried that I would get lost again!" praise Yuriko while putting her interlocking hands to the sides of her cheeks.

Rai could only print a sour face seeing Yuriko's overreaction. In fact, Shohei did not ask her to pick up the girl. In fact, he had been there for almost two hours just to wait for Yuriko to finish work and bring her home together.

Yuriko sauntered first with carefree steps. Faintly heard his voice that seemed to be singing kasmaran song. Rai walked slowly behind him, deliberately not aligning their steps. Apparently, he could read the atmosphere of Yuriko today that looked very bright, as bright as the sun in summer.

"Come, Yu-chan!" call Rai.

Yuriko continued to sing small with her head swaying without even answering Rai's call.

"Ne, Yuri-Yuri!" call him harder.

Still ignored as well. Even to look at her, Yuriko did not. That certainly makes Rai upset.

"Yuriko-chan!" screams loudly.

At the same time, the girl turned around and said, "Do you want to accompany me to eat ramen?"

"Eh?" Rai was stunned for a moment.

When the sky was dark, they had just gotten off the train. The two stopped by a ramen noodle shop located near their apartment.

"Itadakimasu!" say both in front of the hot ramen dish.

Just about to eat ramen, Yuriko actually watched some teenagers sitting in the corner continue to stare in admiration towards Rai.

"Hey, you're being targeted by those girls." Yuriko turned her chin towards the teenage girl who kept watching Rai.

Rai also turned his head in the direction of Yuriko's current gaze.

"Huuaaa .. she looks at us!" There was quite a clear sound when Rai also watched them.

Rai rolled her eyes towards the teenage girls who kept looking at her. Inevitably, the girls were cheering as well.

"Basic flirtatious!" cela Yuriko while with her eyeballs twisted upwards.

Rai brought her mouth closer to Yuriko's ear to whisper. "It's hard to be a good-looking person yeah. Always succeed in attracting the attention of girls and women. Maybe you're the only one not interested in me."

"It looks like you have a lot of experience with a lot of women. Unlike the police officer who seemed awkward to face me," Yuriko giggled as she re-imagined Shohei's expression during her time there. She considers Shohei's nervous reaction because the man is also attracted to her.

"Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?" ketus Rai's.

"Well, what's wrong with my eyes?" Yuriko immediately took off her chopsticks, facing towards Rai while pulling down her eyes as if asking the man to check her eyes.

"I mean, your eyes and mind are always covered by Shohei so whatever we're talking about you always associate hearing," Rai said with a gloomy voice as she continued to sip her noodles.

On the other hand, Shohei and Seina were actually watching in the cinema. Yes, today is indeed their date schedule and the two have agreed to watch in the cinema from afar. The cinema was quite crowded with spectators because of the film screening schedule that was awaited.

Shohei glanced left and right, looking that the contents of the cinema were dominated by lovers like himself and Seina. It's just, they look ungainly to show off the intimacy. Some embrace his lover, some are bribing each other and some are leaning on his lover's shoulder.

Shohei glanced at Seina. The girl seemed enthusiastic watching the scene by scene. Shohei ventured to hold Seina's hand. It was a success that made Seina flinch. They threw smiles at each other with tightly-linked hands.

For Seina herself, she chose to maintain her relationship with Shohei as per the advice of Kei. Although it is not clear how he feels about the glasses man, but he also does not want to let go. According to him, the relationship he had with Black Shadow was just like a fairyland. Not real.

The faces of the two suddenly changed when the movie scene showed two lovers kissing each other affectionately. Spontaneous, both Shohei and Seina cast their eyes off each other. The two are reminded of the kiss they each had with someone else. Guilt also affected the lovers.

"Seina-chan/Shohei-kun ...." The two compactly call each other face to face despite remaining seated quietly.

Equally speechless awkwardly, Seina also opened her voice first. "Please ...."

Shohei nodded. "Seina-chan, look, I .. I .. I ...."

Just saying an obscure word already made Shohei's breath hunt.

"What happened to you?" seina asked a little worried about Shohei because suddenly the man was sweating coldly.

"I ... I accidentally men ... menci–, menci–"

"Hate?" Frowning, Seina repeated a piece of ambiguous word that Shohei blurted out.

Why is it so hard to be honest with Seina.

"I ... I ...." The longer, the harder it was for Shohei to say.

"What's wrong?" asked Seina who looked curious.

"I ... accidentally ...."

"Not intentionally what?"

"Kissing ....."

Do I have to honestly say this to Seina?

"Kiss what?" Seina's eyes rounded for a moment.

"I smell ... I ... I smell foul here!" he said spontaneously with a loud voice.

Suddenly, all the people in the cinema turned to him. Some of them were seen sniffing like anjying tracker after hearing Shohei's words.
