"Hey, stop! What are you going to do, huh?!"
Everyone gasped when they heard Zenkyo's scream just now. The road around them was very quiet. Zenkyo ran towards the barrier of the bridge across the street.
Seen the figure of a man standing on the bridge divider with his arms outstretched. Like getting ready to jump from the top of this bridge, into the big river below which has a very large water discharge.
"Get down! What do you want to do, huh?!" Zenkyo shouted at the teenager who was still in his middle school uniform.
"Don't stop me! I want to disappear from this world!" Kenichi answered, without looking at the figure who continued to pull his pants.
"Don't be stupid! What's your problem that you want to end your life like this, huh?!" Zenkyo was still convincing the young boy not to make the wrong decision. Everyone will face difficult financial situations, but suicide is not the solution. There are still many other ways to find a better solution, Zenkyo thought.
"I have no one else in this world. I have no purpose in coming back to life. I who am abnormal and have no one, do not know where to go. I must disappear from this world!" Kenichi was still shouting slurs about his life's grievances. He looks very desperate and has no zest for life.
"Do you feel like you're the only one who's had that bad experience, huh?!" Zenkyo instead yelled at the teenage boy. She was still holding onto Kenichi's leg tightly so he wouldn't jump.
"Of course! Only I have this bad luck. I want to quickly disappear and be reincarnated." Kenichi responds to each of Zenkyo's shouts.
"Do you think that suicide doesn't hurt, huh? Yes, if you die right away. If you fall into the river, hit a big rock, get carried away by a strong current, become fish food, but still don't die, what? Have you thought about it? That's all, huh?!" Zenkyo shouted back, trying to realize that the teenager's actions were wrong.
Hearing Zenkyo's words just now, Kenichi thought for a moment.
Seeing that the teenager was slightly off guard, Zenkyo with all her might pulled the teenager's leg down. However, instead of Kenichi's body going down, it was the pants that Kenichi was wearing that went down.
"Oops!!" Zenkyo screeched while covering her eyes, she had just seen a sight that would tarnish her innocence.
Right. Kenichi's pants sag, showing Kenichi's bottom which only wears pink underwear.
Feeling a sudden chill hit his lower body, Kenichi suddenly looked down. Kenichi shouted and covered his junior which was only covered by a pink transparent underwear.
Kenichi turned and jumped down near Zenkyo. He raised his pants which were a little loose because Kenichi's weight had decreased, since his father died and his mother often brought other men to their house.
"Why did you stop me, huh?!" Kenichi spoke to the girl who was a few years older than him.
Zenkyo slowly opened her eyes and looked at Kenichi who was already wearing pants again.
"Do you think what you did was right, huh?!"
"What do you care? We don't know each other, do we?" Kenichi said coldly. He saw Zenkyo's appearance from head to toe. The girl's appearance was more messy than Kenichi himself. In fact, Kenichi can still see the woman's eyes are puffy, like she's been crying all day.
Zenkyo was silent for a moment. Instead, she sat on the asphalt, leaning against the railing of the bridge, which was behind her.
"We don't really know each other, but I don't like what you did to escape bad luck." Zenkyo spoke softly. Her gaze returned to blank, staring at the street which was so quiet because this was not the main road.
Kenichi was intrigued. He took a seat next to Zenkyo.
"So, have you had anything worse than mine?" guess Kenichi. He looked at the curves of Zenkyo's face that looked so perfect, even though it was seen from the side like this.
"My father died because my mother had an affair. After a few months, my mother also died with her mistress. I am not yet fifteen years old and have to live alone. Every day I have to hear people gossip because of my disorder. Do you have more sad stories than that?" Kenichi said coldly. He felt that he was the most miserable human being in this world.
Zenkyo flashed her sweetest smile. She shifted position to face Kenichi.
"Listen to me, Little Brother! I also have no one. My father only died three days ago, and he left a huge debt behind. Even if I sell my house, it won't pay off half of the debt."
Zenkyo spoke. She tried her best not to sound like his voice was shaking from holding back tears. She wanted to share the positive energy of the boys.
Kenichi crouched down. He hugged his knees and buried his face between his knees.
"But, I can't be as strong as you. I still need love from someone. I need someone who is always there every time I open my eyes in the morning. I need a place to depend on. I want someone who is always there for me." Kenichi spoke softly, but it could still be heard clearly by Zenkyo.
Zenkyo patted the teenage boy's head. She gently stroked the slightly long black mane.
"If that's the case, why are we relying on each other? Didn't we both have bad luck? I've heard that the burden is lighter if we carry it together." Zenkyo spoke softly.
Kenichi flinched hearing that. He looked up to see Zenkyo who was in front of him. There was a glint in Kenichi's eyes right now. However, the next second the light just disappeared.
"That's not possible." Kenichi pursed his lips. He buried his face between his knees again.
"Why can't it be, huh?"
"You have a lot of debt. You said yourself that your debts won't be paid off even if you sold your residence. So, why would you even think of helping me, huh? Your life needs will definitely increase if I come with you, right?" Kenichi whispered.
"It's true, it's like that. But, I didn't say that I would bear all your expenses, did I?" Zenkyo spoke again. She still had a sweet smile on her face. Zenkyo's smile seems to have managed to convey a positive aura to anyone who sees it.
"Then?"
