Vol 1: Ch 2 - A very huge misunderstanding
Rei reread it again and again but it never changes because it's really a reply from him and that she didn't imagining it or even hallucinating it. So after reading it again and again she replied to him with her surprising feelings that it really shows from her chat with him.
"Eh...eh.....wait, wait! A-------and, what do you mean by that Vin?"
He replied without concern, "Rei, don't be so dumb now and acting like a dumb one because you're not. You're a very smart woman, Rei and I know that you know and aware of what I mean that one and especially you know why you asked me that one so don't act like one."
"What I mean of that one? To be honest, I don't understand you and really, I don't understand you, Vin."
Sighing before replying to her back even though she can't see that his sighing after reading her message.
"Okay, I know that you are really shy and pretending to be dumb one but then I understand it since right now, you must be feeling embarrassed from what you ask from me but then since you're pretending now then I need to remind you again and again that you're asking me a while ago that you wondered why we are only just a friend, so I'm telling you and replying to you now that sorry because I only think of you as my friend and nothing else more than that. So do you understand now?"
She replied right away after reading it "Wait, wait, wait, I think you really misunderstood me Vin and you didn't notice my first sentence at all...… That it's not what you really think but then you really misunderstood me Vin and really, that's not what I mean, really. I don't know if you believe me or not but that's not what I mean of what you think now, really."
Reading that message from her, he reviewed the first message from her again and again then realized that he didn't notice it but due to the fact that his ego and pride got a touch, he didn't agree instead he insists on his opinion "yeah I know but asking that one and knowing you, you simply said it because you want us to become a couple, so in order to be noticed from me and to avoid hurt and pain, you asked that one from me indirectly. So, I'm only stating the fact that we were just a friend and only a friend, you got it?"
Again Rei got speechless because of him and wondering 'geez, how did it become like this? If I really can retract the time then I won't ask that one in order to prolong this conversation. Really, I'm an idiot for not thinking what I'm going to ask'. Then right after wondering her thoughts, she suddenly realized after reminding herself 'ah, that's right. Geez, Rei you are really an idiot, a big idiot one. Why did you ask that one, huh? When you already know that it will only lead to a big misunderstanding, idiot and a big idiot, really. Now, Vin really misunderstood you, so what are you going to do now?' Rei got cut off by her own thoughts since she heard a new notification that implies she got a message or reply from him.
"Rei, are you still there? Are you okay? Sorry"
Ting....a new message pop up and Rei stop from what she's doing (by thinking back on what she message to him and scolding herself for being an idiot one.)
"Ah, yes I'm still here. And I'm fine; don't be sorry Vin, it's my mistake, so you don't need to do so. By the way, let me rephrase it of what I ask a while ago, so instead of that one, this is what I meant, so what I really want to know and I wondered is this one, how did we become friend with each other Vin?" Rei rephrases it again and without realizing that this one is more getting confusing and that led to a very huge misunderstanding between them.
"No need to correct it Rei, even you will rephrasing it, again and again, my answered is still a big NO and you're just a friend to me, that's all and nothing at all."
'What's wrong with him?' but instead of that, she replied to him and without knowing that she input another one due to being upset and mad. Rei is having a hot-tempered personality at all but it will only release if she got provoke first.
"Yeah, yeah, I admit it Vin, and yes I do have a crush on you during our 2nd year of high school but only during that time, I mean we already both graduated in our tertiary and we already have a different job. It's been many years since then, don't you think I still lingered my crush on you until now? You must be dreaming if you keep thinking that one."
