287 Christmas Eve - Part 3

"Hey, Saishi!" I heard Gaisen call me as I turned towards him and noticed him gesturing to me, "Come here for a moment…"

"What?' I asked as his tone was rather low and weird, as he pointed his index finger somewhere and asked, "Isn't that your girlfriend?"

"Which one?" I asked, following the direction he was pointing towards, "That one, across the street… in front of the hotel."

I gazed into the distance and squinted my eyes to notice Shiraishi's ginger hair flowing freely behind her as she was talking to some dude on a motorcycle, "Ah shit…"

"And wasn't she supposed to be with her friends?" I glanced back at Gaisen as he smiled awkwardly and asked, "And what is she doing with a dude?"

"This looks exactly like the worst-case scenario I thought of…" I replied in a nonchalant way

"Sorry dude…" He sighed under his breath, as my gaze shifted towards him, "What are you being sorry for?"
