Looking at Ben's restless and panicked appearance since a while ago, a trace of irritation gradually welled up inside me. And next to him, Daniel was laughing extremely happily, which made my irritation even stronger.
Even as friends, the distance between these two is too close. In contrast, that person who has no sense of incongruity about this makes me feel resentment involuntarily, although I am still not used to this situation.
"Blake, are you angry?"
"Ah? I'm not angry."
Mike suddenly poked her head from the side and looked at me. I said words of denial, but my face involuntarily wrinkled. And seeing my reaction like this, she blinked, which made me even angrier. This is completely me losing my temper for no reason, but the words came out of my mouth before I could think.
"Speaking of which, there is no smile on your face either."
"Eh."
