The Drill Sergeant

Tolkien POV

I haven't seen Yui since the incident a couple days later. (I decided to call her by her Japanese name from now on to make myself used to it.) She wasn't answering any of my calls either. And I couldn't get through her phone now.

Something was up.

I didn't want to think I scared her off when I unintentionally confessed to her. She didn't run away that night. But I didn't see her or talked to her since then. She wasn't visiting Jun either. The twins haven't heard from her too.

I'd been worrying since Yui dropped us home and gave me a small, sad smile before driving off. I shouldn't have let her leave.

"Tolkien! Will you sit down?"

I whipped around to see Elli and Aeron, sitting on my bed and desk chair respectively. I forgot they were with me as I called Yui and pacing back and forth while waiting for her to answer.
