No Love Zone - 23A

It didn't feel like an hour had ended and Toshiro had received news from Yuta that he and Juza and Yuri had been in one of the family restaurants, because Yuri had been feeling hungry since the trip.

Without waiting any longer, after getting information about the restaurant, the nine of them immediately walked to the restaurant. Because they are now also starting to feel hungry after walking around.

Arriving at the restaurant in question by Yuta. Reki and Bokuto who entered the restaurant first exclaimed excitedly. Made several customers who were eating in the restaurant turn their heads towards them.

Daichi, who felt bad for the restaurant's customers, bowed apologetically. Meanwhile Toshiro and Tenma had pinned Reki and Bokuto's neck so that the two young men would not do anything else that would embarrass them. Especially it would greatly embarrass Juza who is their boss.

The nine of them walked to follow one of the waiters who guided them to the table that had been ordered by Juza.

"Wow, Yu-chan, you ate first." Reki exclaimed who saw Yuri eating chicken katsu right next to Juza.

"I'm already very hungry uncle. That's why I ordered food in advance and ate it." Yuri replied after he managed to digest the food in his mouth.

Juza and Yuta who watched the gangster members one by one sitting in their seats, frowned in surprise when they didn't find Azami's figure sitting with them.

"Where's Azami-kun? Didn't he come with you?" Yuta asked the eight gangsters who were already sitting in front of him.

"Ah, he said he wanted to go to the toilet first." Daichi answered representing his comrades who had just realized that they had not found Azami's whereabouts, with them.

Yuta and Juza heard Daichi's answer and nodded their heads.

Now the eight gangster members, along with Yuta and Juza, mentioned the food menu they would order to a waiter.

"Wait, for Azami-kun, what do we order?" Haruko asked which made her comrades cast glances at each other.

"Daichi-san, are you sure Azami-kun is going to the toilet? Why haven't you come back yet?" This time it was Bokuto who asked Daichi.

Daichi who is currently the center of attention of his colleagues cleared his throat for a moment. "Yeah, he said that to me earlier. But I didn't see him enter the toilet directly."

"Ah, or maybe he forgot we were at this table?" Tenma asked which made his comrades speechless.

"Maybe you're right Tenma-kun. Then let me follow him." Answered Toshiro who was ready to get up from his seat.

"No need Shiro-san."

Toshiro stopped himself from wanting to leave when he heard Juza's words.

Now all the gazes of the gangsters turned to Juza. No exception Yuri who was eating his food menu.

"Let me go after Azami-kun. You guys stay here until your food arrives." Said Juza who gave a hint to the waiters to immediately make an order menu.

"Ehm, Juza-san. I just remember telling you. If Azami had changed her hair color to be like Yuri-chan. Afraid you wouldn't find Azami because her hair color changed." Julian said and was approved by his comrades.

"Right, today Azami-kun just changed his hair color. Just giving you information Juza-kun."

Juza nodded his head at Toshiro's words. "Alright Shiro-san, Julian-kun. Thanks for the information."

After that Juza walked to the toilet first, who knew Azami was still in there.

Arriving in the toilet, Juza frowned in surprise when he saw that all the cubicles in the bathroom were open and he didn't find anyone in the bathroom except himself.

Still feeling surprised, Juza walked out of the bathroom and turned his head to explore every corner of the restaurant.

"Azami-kun, are you sure you won't regret handing over the company to your uncle?"

Juza, who was just about to walk towards the entrance of the restaurant, immediately stopped when he heard someone mention Azami's name.

"I'm trying to believe it. It's also so they don't bother Yuri and me."

"But Azami-kun."

Juza who heard Azami's name being called again, stepped his foot to approach one of the dividing doors. He didn't mean to overhear what the people behind the door were talking about. It's just that Juza is curious as to whether the name Azami mentioned earlier is the Azami he's currently looking for or not.

"You don't need to worry Tomoya-san. I think that's enough for our conversation. I don't want to make my friends and Yuri wait long."

greek...

Juza who saw the barrier door in front of him shift, stepped his foot to back away. He was so surprised to see the person who was just about to leave the room. Likewise, the person who was no less surprised to see the figure of Juza standing in front of him.

"J-juza-san."

Juza whose name was called by that person cleared his throat for a moment.

"Ah, Azami-kun. I finally found you. The others are waiting for you to eat together."

The person standing by the door, who was none other than Azami, nodded his head slowly.

"Azami-kun, what's wrong?"

Azami, whose name was called again, was quite taken aback. Because the one who called his name was the person who had been talking to him in this room.

Juza frowned when he saw a middle-aged man from inside the room approaching Azami and now his gazes with the middle-aged man met each other.

"Nothing. Then I'll go first, professor. See you next time." Azami said while bowing, then after that he grabbed Juza's wrist to get away from the room.

Juza frowned again in surprise when he saw Azami take him out of the restaurant. Not the room where his other comrades were waiting.

Azami stopped his footsteps when he felt he was in a place far enough from the restaurant and not too many people were passing by and now Azami turned his body and faced Juza.

"How long have you been standing at the door of the room?" Azami asked while glancing his eyes in another direction.

Juza who saw Azami asked, but didn't even look at him, stretched out a hand to lift Azami's chin, so that the young man in front of him focused on looking at him.

Azami, who felt Juza's fingers on his chin, gasped in surprise. Because at this time Juza turned his head to focus on looking at the man.

"I assume I didn't hear anything else, other than you saying it straight away."

Azami's eyes widened at Juza's words. Azami also glanced his eyes in another direction.

"Everyone has secrets, right? If I didn't hear it directly from you, then I would assume I never heard anything."

Azami immediately glanced back at Juza's eyes and now both of his eyes successfully widened in surprise when he realized that his face was now so close to Juza's face.

"Your new hair color and cut suits you very well." Juza said with a smile on his face.

Azami who heard Juza's praise for some reason made his face feel a little hot now, not to mention the smile that spread across Juza's face.

Juza brought his face closer to Azami's. Azami who realized that Juza was getting closer to his face also felt that his face was now really hot.

"H-hey, Juza-s-

Cups.

Azami's eyes widened in surprise when he felt something rubbery against his lips. Not to mention now Azami felt the back of his neck being pushed forward.

Azami, who felt that Juza was slowly starting to crush his lips, directed his hands to push Juza's body away from him.

Then Juza, who realized that Azami was trying to push his body away, flashed a small grin and bit the corner of Azami's lips before moving away from Azami.

Azami's hand immediately reached out to cover his lips, while the other hand was still in front of Juza's chest.

Juza who saw Azami was covering his lips with one hand and his face was completely red, stretched out one hand to land on the top of Azami's head and gently caressed it.

"I'm not going to force you to tell the secret you're hiding right now. Tell me if you really want to."

Azami glanced his eyes at Juza. Currently he is being enveloped by feelings of shame and also annoyed at the attitude that Juza is addressing to him at this time. And what's more, Azami didn't expect his heart to beat so fast right now. Because since he was still in school, he had never felt his heart beating fast like this when his friends from school and college were teasing him.

"Let's go back to the restaurant, the others have been waiting for us all this time." Said Juza who now grabbed Azami's hand to follow him back to the restaurant.

Azami's eyes focused on Juza's palm which was gripping one of his hands. Azami can feel how warm Juza's palm is currently gripping his wrist.

Dump.. Dump.. Dump..

Azami's eyes widened in surprise when he again felt his heart beating so fast again and he could also feel the heat spreading over his face again.

Azami quickly shook his head and shook off all sorts of strange thoughts that were currently filling his head.

'It can't be, it can't happen Azami!'
