Confidential

Raka showed a calm face when he looked out the window of his dorm room. He put the cigarette in his mouth and smoked it. His mind went back to all the words Randy had said the past few days. He was calm, but his mind was constantly working on finding ways to make the best choices for his life.

To be honest, he was eager to receive help from Randy regarding Danny's whereabouts. On the one hand, he also wants a peaceful life for his life. If he accepts Randy's help, then he must also help Randy. It is reciprocity between them. That's why he was worried.

In addition, he has other problems that he cannot avoid. He has Clara Anisa, his girlfriend to take care of. He should not abdicate that responsibility just because of that risk alone.

Clara is a good girl, Raka is quite comfortable with her. Clara makes his life more complete than ever. If Raka just lets Clara go, it's the same as throwing his family into his enemy.

Raka has chosen to take responsibility for Clara Anisa, so he must take the risk no matter what. Maybe that way, he should bury his desire to get a peaceful life.

There are only two choices for Raka regarding Clara's problem. First, he ran away and walked away from Clara as if he just disappeared from her. Second, he is fully responsible for Clara until he gets his peaceful life. Those two options are what Raka has to choose.

"Clara?"

He suddenly saw Clara heading to the girls' dorm as he thought that. She looked like she was avoiding something from behind her. She even looked at the boys' dorm a few times, maybe hoping to see Raka there.

Raka just opened the curtains not too open, so Clara couldn't tell that Raka was watching her from there. That was why she looked at the boys' dormitory with an uneasy expression.

Raka just watched it until Clara managed to get into the girls' dormitory, not knowing what made Clara nervous about the direction behind her. After that, he saw someone wearing a sweater with his head covered with a beanie.

That, someone, looked suspicious, and he looked like a boy. He had looked inside the girls' dormitory several times after Clara had managed to get in there. He looked several times in the direction of a room that was on the 3rd floor of the girls' dormitory. That's very suspicious for a guy in a sweater.

Raka came out of his room after seeing the boy for the first time. He quickly descended the stairs as the lift was taking too long for him.

Arriving at the lobby, he ran, past several employees who were cleaning the floor with water stains from the raindrops on people's shoes, and out of the boys' dormitory.

Seeing that the boy was there, right on the wall near the girls' dormitory fence, Raka walked slowly towards the boy and made sure there was no one other than him and the boy there.

Passing the boy, Raka hit him on the shoulder, making the boy faint, then dragged the boy into an alley not far from there.

Raka confirmed who the boy was. He opened the hood of the sweater and saw the boy's face properly.

"I've seen this guy before."

Raka confirmed that he had seen the boy. He tried to remember where he had met the boy.

When he managed to remember that, he was not too surprised and patiently waited for the boy to come to his senses.

The guy was the one who had licked Clara's shoes. Raka remembers their faces because they are so disgusting in picking trends. For that, Raka had time to put on a cynical face to the boy.

"One, two, three… Awake, my chosen human! Oh, come to your senses!"

Raka didn't want to make himself have to wait a long time because of this guy, that's why he forced the boy to wake up by putting the embers of his cigarette on the boy's skin.

This method worked, even making the boy's skin turn black after turning red.

"I..."

He held his head, not yet fully conscious. He didn't even realize that Raka was still putting his cigarette to his skin.

After that, he felt pain.

"Ow! Hot."

"Well, it was hot."

After Raka said that, the boy was surprised to see Raka in front of him.

"Senior?"

And even banged his head against the wall from being too shocked.

"Senior?" Raka asked. "Oh right, I am your senior."

Raka just followed what the boy just said. For that, he said he was the guy's senior, without knowing anything.

PLAAK!

Raka slapped the boy's head not too hard.

"Hey, Junior. Why are you stalking my girlfriend?"

"I'm sorry, Senior."

PLAAK!

He slaps again.

"No apologies for you."

"I-I was just told to."

PLAAK!

Okay, he slapped again.

"Who ordered you? And, where are your friends? Aren't you guys following the trend of licking girls' shoes?"

Before the boy answered the question, Raka slapped the boy's head again.

"Answer!" Raka insisted.

"I was ordered by that third-year senior. My friends and I were originally told to keep an eye on Senior Clara up close and do such disgusting things, but since she already has a boyfriend, we're just watching her from afar. That's why the third-year senior kept telling us despite knowing that Senior Clara already has a boyfriend."

"Is that so? Then why would you want to do that?"

Once again, before the boy answered, Raka slapped the boy's head.

"I-I can't tell you that."

"Hah!?" Raka annoyed, slapped the boy's head again.

"Sorry… If I tell you that, that third-year senior won't…"

"Won't what?"

"That is a secret."

PLAAK!

After slapping the boy for the umpteenth time, Raka pulled the boy's sweater.

"I have a secret too, you know? So, how about we just exchange secrets? You tell me your secret, and I will tell you mine. How? This is an agreement, both parties are mutually beneficial. That way, no one is harmed."

Raka has a secret, but not a secret about his past life. For that, he is very confident to spread his secret, to exchange it for the secret of the guy.

"Okay."

"Good. Turns out you're a guy who is honest with your secrets, just like me."

Raka is happy with it and hopes to find out what happened to the boy and his friends.

"I and my friends are couriers. That's all I can say to you, Senior."

"..."

It made Raka silent. Raka was confused with the meaning of the secret. After that, he opened his mouth.

"Courier? What courier? Do you work for a delivery company? You know, you shouldn't be able to work. Are you and your friends short on money? Are you living hard? Can't you guys eat today? That's what you work for?"

So many questions Raka asked, and it made the boy confused.

They were both in a confused state, Raka was confused by the meaning of "courier", while the boy was confused because Raka was asking questions.

However, that wasn't the question Raka was asking. There is one question that makes Raka question it.

"Then what does that have to do with Clara and that third-year senior being angry?"

"That… Sorry, I can't say that. If I tell you that, my father…"

"Why your father?"

"Sorry."

PLAAK!

Raka slapped the boy again.

"Okay, I understand. You seem to have a difficult family. I understand that. I know how you feel."

"Then, Senior…"

"What?"

"What's your secret?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about that. All right, I'll tell you that. But, if you tell people this, I'll put your arm around a fast-food restaurant."

"Uh, what for?"

"To be dessert."

"..." The boy was frightened by the threat from Raka, even made a little pee. "Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

"Good. My secret is…"

"What, Senior?"

"I like pink power rangers more than red power rangers."

"...Eh?"

"You know, even though she's just an extra, and the ones that get the most attention are the red power rangers, she has worked hard to fight against the monsters that are trying to rule the earth. For that reason, I like her more than the red power rangers, whom children often idolize."

"Eh... Is that so?" The boy asked, putting on an expressionless face.

"Remember! If you tell my secret to someone, I'll put your arm around a fast-food restaurant. Remember that carefully, Junior!"

"There's no need-"

PLAAK!

Raka was annoyed and slapped the boy's head without knowing what the boy wanted to say to him.

After that, he threatened the once again to the boy.

"I remember last. It's not about my secret or yours. This is about my girlfriend. If you continue to bear it because that person told you to, I will not hesitate to make you or that person die. If I ever see you and your friends stalking Clara again, I'll beat you up straight away."

"...I understand."

"Good. Well, you can go home now. Remember, work properly to provide for your family. Your father must be waiting for you to come home. Take good care of your father before you lose him."

"Thank you, Senior."

Raka let the boy go. He lit his cigarette quietly and walked.

"Courier? Danny also had time to put the pill in the student locker. Does he include courier too? In that case, it seemed that the first and second-year students were being hired as couriers by the third-year students. Well, that's sure to get the pills out to the people who buy them. This city is more annoying than Eboy City. Gosh."
