Honesty and Weakness of Raka

What is this? Boba?

Raka confusedly received a drink from Clara. He couldn't help but accept it.

To be honest, it took him by surprise. Clara suddenly asked about what Raka wanted to drink, and Raka replied that he wanted milk coffee. However, Clara somehow brought him a cold drink, which contained balls of black jellies.

Yeah, it's a boba drink, which is trending these days. Clara bought it with her money to give to Raka. Meanwhile, Raka could only accept it in confusion.

Raka would not want to have to taste the drink. Because after all, Clara had bought it for him. He should accept it happily, and spend it.

"Thank You."

Before Raka tasted the drink, when Raka was watching a man whose head looked like Boba, Clara suddenly approached him and put her arm around him. Then, she put her smartphone in front of her. After that... Cekrek, Clara took a selfie with Raka who was stuffing his mouth into a straw.

"Eh?" Raka blinked a few times. He saw Clara who was playing with her smartphone. He kept an eye on Clara who started taking pictures of her drink, which had the taste of milk tea.

"I will make this my smartphone wallpaper."

"...Oh. Sure."

Raka responded in the affirmative. Then, he drank the drink, which was named Boba.

When one of the Boba got into his mouth, Raka almost choked. He didn't chew the Boba first. He swallowed it without a second thought. And luckily, the Boba didn't get caught in his neck.

Meanwhile, Clara was so happy. She is very happy when she is with Raka. She forgot the time to be with her friends. Her schedule changed because of her desire to be with Raka.

She has been with Raka since the break. She seemed not to want to let Raka out of her sight. Even so, she understood that class time had separated her before she finally returned with Raka again.

When the clock goes home, Clara quickly goes to Raka's class. She picked up Raka suddenly. Raka, who was about to punch Fujita in the face, suddenly had to cancel his intention and follow Clara's wish.

And this is what happened; Raka bought a drink named Boba, and Clara was very happy when she was with Raka. It was seen on her very cheerful face.

Raka is sensitive to his surroundings, but he doesn't realize that Clara's feelings are still with him at this time. He thought that Clara's character might be like this. It makes her like an ordinary girl, who has a very cheerful feeling with something trending.

Raka never knew the feelings of a girl. He never made friends or had a girlfriend. This is the first time he is very close to a girl, even the girl is made his girlfriend. Most importantly for him right now, he was in charge of Clara. Whatever Clara wanted, be it help or herself, Raka would be there to help.

In addition, Raka seems to like Clara. Maybe it was because this was his first feeling of being around a girl, so his feelings instantly turned into liking. In other words, he is also a normal human being, who likes a female when he feels comfortable around her. For that, he has the determination to make Clara happy at all costs.

So far, Raka cares about what happened to Clara. He had even planned something to help Clara. He is so sensitive to Clara, even now, although not sure, he always pays attention to Clara's right leg.

"Let's go to the movies!" Clara said, suddenly asked Raka.

"To the movies?" Raka asked.

"Yes. After watching, we go to dinner. After that, we go karaoke. Anyway, let's spend the day alone."

Raka wanted to punch Fujita in the face right now. He had been holding it in since Fujita had troubled him last night. He wanted to punch Fujita in the face just once. That way, Raka might be satisfied.

However, if Clara asked him to go and spend time together, Raka couldn't do that. He had to accompany Clara, according to his promise to himself. Raka can't refuse it. He had to take responsibility for what Clara wanted from him.

"But before that," Clara continued. She suddenly covered her face with her smartphone. "May I have your LINE contact?"

"…Oh, sure."

Raka gave her his smartphone. Clara operated Raka's smartphone and opened the LINE application. She happily added Raka's contract to her contacts. After that, she gave Raka's smartphone back.

"I-I already added you. So, I can send a message later."

Hearing those words straight from Clara's mouth, Raka was finally able to do something right. So far, the LINE application he uses is only to link another application. He doesn't use the LINE app, which is meant to be a message over the internet. Therefore, he ended up using the LINE app properly.

Clara suddenly played with her smartphone. Her hands looked like they were typing. After that, Raka's smartphone suddenly reads "Ding-Dong!"

Raka checks it and finds that Clara messaged him.

The message reads, "It's me, Clara Anisa. From now on, I will send messages here," and that made Raka drink his Boba again, and almost choked on Boba.

That's the cute side of Clara, but Raka doesn't know that. Clara had never been like that before, and somehow she could be like that now in front of Raka. Raka should have realized that Clara was happy when she was around him. He must know that his girlfriend wants to be with him today.

However, he only focused on his drink and the head of the man who looked like Boba, and said, "Are these black balls made of parts of his head? No, that's impossible. Anyway, I can still taste the floury taste of these Boba. So, how could the man's head be made of flour? That's impossible. Except, it turns out that the man's head is indeed made of flour!" in his mind.

"Where are you looking?" Clara realized that Raka had turned his gaze towards behind Clara.

"Oh..." Raka quickly sent a message back to Clara, and it made Clara happy.

It was very strange, even though Raka only confirmed the message. That made Clara happy. Clara seems to be a girl in general, who is instantly happy with anything she wants.

"Come on!" Clara pulled Raka's arm, taking Raka away from there.

As Raka and Clara walked, Raka watched every step Clara made. Raka had noticed that ever since they met in front of Class 2-D. It bothered him. According to Raka, it seems that Clara's right leg is not doing well.

Raka saw something that was on the other side of the road, 10 meters from him. It's a clinic.

"We don't need to watch now."

Raka suddenly said that making Clara startled, and immediately turned to him.

"Eh? Why? Don't you like the cinema?"

"No, that's not it."

"So what?"

When Clara asked, Raka threw his finished drink into the trash can. After that, Raka approached Clara who was still wondering. Then, he quickly picked up Clara and walked over.

"Eh? What's this?" Clara asked, surprised by what Raka had done.

Clara is in his arms like a princess. It made the people around them immediately look at them.

Some people say that it is something romantic. Not a few who criticize it by saying that they are tacky, doing it in public. Even though everyone's eyes were on them, Raka didn't care at all and continued walking towards the clinic.

"Raka... what are you doing?" Clara asked again.

"You sprained your right leg, didn't you? You haven't treated it, have you?"

"Eh? How did you realize that? My right leg is fine."

"Do not lie. After all, I'm your boyfriend. Whatever happens to you, I'm the one responsible. So don't lie to me if you're not okay."

"Raka..."

"Be honest with me about your condition. I am the man in charge of you. I am your boyfriend. No matter what you are going through, I will always help you. So, be honest with me here, Clara!"

"I-I… I sprained my right leg this morning while trying to chase after you."

"Eh?" Raka was surprised, stopped his steps, and turned to Clara. "You chased me this morning?"

"Yeah, that's when you got out of that black car. I thought I could catch up to you, but I tripped over my own feet. As a result of that, I sprained my right ankle."

"..."

So is this my fault? I didn't even notice that she was after me. Geez, I'm so bad, when I said that I would help her.

It was Raka's fault. Had he realized that Clara was chasing him, Clara wouldn't have been able to run that fast. Clara's right ankle couldn't possibly be sprained. So, it's all his fault.

But, for Raka, this is also Fujita's fault. If only Fujita hadn't invited Raka to play around and find a house for Fujita first until morning, Raka would have come home early, and that incident would never have happened. So, it was also Fujita's fault.

I wanted so badly to hit his face. Just once.

Raka added that he wanted to punch Fujita in the face after finding out that Clara had sprained her right ankle. He has a grudge against Fujita and wants to release his revenge by hitting Fujita in the face.

"You're mad?"

Maybe because Raka didn't respond to Clara's sentence earlier, and seeing Raka's face that looked annoyed, Clara asked that.

"No, I'm not mad at you at all. It's just… Forget it!"

"Umph?"

"It's OK."

Clara was curious about what Raka was hiding behind his annoyed face. She wanted to force Raka to tell her that, but on the one hand, she didn't want to bother Raka with her coercion. For that, Clara turned her face away and only looked at her hands.

Raka realized that. Raka seems to know that Clara wants to know that. He knew that Clara wanted that.

"Alright, after your right ankle is treated, I'll tell you."

With Raka saying that Clara quickly turned to him and was delighted.

"Thank You."
