"You'll tell Shouki later, I'm sure of that," Katsuki replied. He didn't reply with emotion, but just looked down and stroked his reddened cheek from the slap.
Melia rubbed her own face roughly, she didn't understand why Katsuki really wanted to avoid Shouki. Though Shouki is a very good man and is suitable for Katsuki. Instead of being side by side with Eijiro who always gives trouble to Katsuki, Melia thinks that Shouki can give Katsuki happiness for Katsuki.
"Then he still finds out about you before I do, doesn't he?" Melia asked, she wanted Katsuki to realize that Katsuki couldn't avoid Shouki.
"Why do you say that? Did you tell him about it?" Katsuki asked back.
"You're crazy, you're stupid like a donkey," Melia scolded Katsuki. "I didn't even know you were alive when you replied to my chat. He didn't even tell me that he had met you earlier than I was."
"Yes, therefore don't give information about me to him carelessly," Katsuki replied. He kept denying that Melia didn't tell Shouki about Katsuki's condition. Even though it was clear that Melia had not contacted Shouki at all.
Melia patted herself on the forehead, she was very annoyed with Katsuki who kept accusing Melia of being unreasonable.
"Never mind! Until the end of the world you will continue to accuse me. We'd better go in, I'll treat you."
"No, I don't want to drink too much, you must have put something in the drink so I'm unconscious and Shouki can mark my body."
This time Melia wanted to punch Katsuki so much that he bounced away from it.
"Then I'll just go home. It sucks, do you really want to be friends with me or not, huh?! Stop having bad thoughts. I'm your friend, although I support if you and Shouki become mates. But remember that the one who became my friend was you, not him."
Katsuki smiled widely, he patted and put his arm around Melia's shoulder. "That's good. I'm sorry I accused you, I was just joking. You seem after I've been away for a few weeks so forgot how to joke. So stiff, even though you used to be the one who used to act silly."
"Tch, I'm annoyed with your strange attitude like this. Even though we haven't seen each other for weeks, but this is how you greet me," said Melia with a pretended sulking expression.
Once inside, they were greeted with a bar atmosphere no less crowded than BullGert Bellaria. The striptease dancers dance with beautiful and supple curves. Their clothes really arouse the lust of every audience there. Katsuki and Melia are not interested at all, Melia is not the type of person who is easily tempted by lust and while Katsuki is a sex worker who is used to doing things like that, for him there is no reason to be tempted by the appearance of the dancers.
"Are you sure you're going to quit completely?"
Even though it is in the middle of a very busy bustle, it even seems so noisy. But the two people who were good friends felt the silence between the two of them.
They were just silent, looking at the lively crowd. They could feel lonely despite being in such a state because they only felt attached to each other between the two of them. They seemed not to be bothered by all the noise, and focused on the interaction between the two of them who were both silent.
And Melia first started the conversation.
Katsuki paused for a moment between Melia's question and his answer. He thought for a moment. No, not thinking, it seemed that he was making up his mind to give that answer.
"Yes, I'm already sure of my choice," Katsuki replied.
"Okay, that's your choice. But, feel free to come to BullGert Bellaria again, bars aren't just for prostitution, they miss your smile when you're drunk."
Katsuki snorted and smiled. "Don't be like that, you look ridiculous. Don't say anything that gives the impression that the guy is going to die. Without you telling me I'd be going to BullGert Bellaria too. But now, no... lately I'm still reluctant to go there. ."
Melia looked at Katsuki with a sad look. "Green?"
"Don't say his name," Katsuki replied.
"Katsuki, let go of Eijiro---"
"I already know. I've made my decision," said Katsuki. "I know myself, there is already an omega who must get accountability from Eijiro."
Melia leaned back in her seat, sipping a glass of wine slowly. "Drink your drink, you don't buy that drink to be left alone."
Katsuki took a sip of his drink. It was seen that he suddenly had no appetite for the drink.
"Sorry, because of me you are uncomfortable. Even though you are here to release your burden," said Melia. She put down her glass and wiggled her foot to nudge Katsuki's calf.
So relaxed, they are friends who don't know the word offended for each other.
"Since when did you become like this? Usually you kick me in front of the stage, I also won't be angry and offended. Precisely by discussing this, I can pour out the burden I'm thinking about now. I realize that being alone is not my habit, I always looking for moments so that I can be with other people. So ask me, just ask me about my problems. You know yourself that I want to talk but don't know how to start."
"Okay, so I want to ask you one more thing."
"Just ask, don't hesitate. You're not talking to new people," said Katsuki.
"Are you ready to be Shouki's mate?"
This time Katsuki admits that he doesn't like being questioned by Melia.
