"Huu, that was fun"

"Fun my ass...sniff"

The corners of my mouth went up as I placed the mic on the table.

There were two things that made me feel good right now...first was because this was the first time I've ever enjoyed being around people who aren't my family and done things I've never done before. Lastly was that I felt a slight excitement from teasing Akio.

No, I didn't pick the song intentionally...I think..

Or rather I was surprised at the start when I realized what the random song I picked was all about, it was untimely, at the beginning when I started singing, I wondered if I should stop...

But in the end I didn't, I felt like teasing Akio...

It was bad of me, I know.

I chuckled as I loosened my tie a little.

"I wonder what song I'd sing next..."

"No, no, no, no"

Akio grabbed the mic hurriedly...hmm too bad, I was planning to sing a good song to comfort him this time...

"Hugo-kun's such a bad friend"

Akio pouted as he took off the tissues inside his nose...

what's this guy doing?

I smiled and apologized sincerely this time.

"Since Hugo-kun's sorry, you should treat us"

"Senpai, you're so lame..."

"Shut up!"

"You're the one who sang a lot, moreover songs for the heartbrokens!"

I poured some cucumber juice to drink as I listened to the two bickering.

"Ah, me too, please."

"mmm"

"thank you"

I also poured some for Haruki Hana who held her glass near me.

"Okay guys, that's enough."

I said to both of them

"though, I was just kidding about you paying -"

"That's right Hugo-senpai! You should let him pay! Since he was the one who got dumped..."

"What does that have to do with this!"

"Everything!"

"This kid-"

"Stop!"

I said as I was afraid they'd start fighting again.

"I'll treat you guys"

"eh? don't take it seriously man, I was just joking"

"Nah it's fine...or rather, I was planing to from the beginning..."

"...but we said we'd all divide it..."

"Didn't you say this was a welcome party for me? then I should pay."

"but-"

"Don't worry...although I might look like this, I actually have a lot of money.."

I said as they might continue to insist. In fact I already know Akio was just kidding, but I certainly wasn't...

But....why are you all looking at me like that?
