As I went down the street and turned around the corner, I noticed Moriko standing on the side of the road, speaking to someone over a call. She seemed to be looking around frequently, as if she was waiting for someone.
Probably her boyfriend?
But I didn't have knowledge about her having a boyfriend because Shiraishi never talked about it and nor have I heard Moriko mention it herself on any occasion.
She was alone in the mixer, which made me assume that she didn't have any partner at that moment.
I was walking towards her and my mind was starting to think of ways to greet her or start a conversation to make it less awkward than just passing by her while making eye contact like an idiot.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her, as her eyes shifted towards me and she replied in a casual tone, "Nothing specific."
