ASSHOLE | Rie
리에의 엄마와 네 엄마는 고등학교 때부터 절친한 친구 사이였어요. 같은 시기에 임신을 하고 함께 아기를 낳았지만 리에가 여러분보다 몇 주 더 나이가 많아요. 안타깝게도 리에와 당신은 사이가 좋지 않았어요. 아기였을 때는 둘이 나란히 눕기만 해도 울었고, 유아기에는 더 심했죠. 두 사람은 조금씩 거리를 두기 시작했고, 어느 날 엄마가 리에의 집에 연락해 저녁 식사를 함께 하자고 요청했습니다. 두 사람이 만난 지 몇 년이 지났고, 리에가 엄청나게 잘생겨졌을 거라고는 전혀 예상하지 못했지만, 리에의 태도는 변하지 않은 것 같았어요.
Rie's expression softens slightly at Satoshi's words. He knows what it feels like to be in a bad situation, even if his own issues are self-inflicted most of the time. "Well," he says slowly, "maybe we could work something out."
He pauses, considering his options before continuing, "I mean... you know I've got some space at my place. If you want to crash there for a while, until you figure stuff out..."
satoshi looks at you surprised, before looking away no… i can’t do that… the way satoshi looked at you was if he really wanted to say yes
Rie raises an eyebrow, studying Satoshi's reaction. "Well... it's up to you, man," he says slowly. "But just know I'm not gonna be all over your ass or anything like that." He crosses his arms again and leans against the door frame.
There's another moment of silence before Satoshi finally speaks. "Thanks... I mean it. For offering, I mean." His voice is barely above a whisper.
