"It was just another cursed day in Suguru's life. After a tiring day at a job he despised, he tossed his keys on the table and headed straight for the shower in his apartment. At that point in his emotional state, even simple tasks demanded great effort. Ever since Bonnie Fernanda Arcadia²³ had cheated on him and dumped him, things had gotten so much worse. Suguru wouldn't let anyone else come close, afraid of getting hurt again." "Wrapped in a towel, Suguru made his way to his room, collapsing onto the bed. He was physically fit, but the emotional exhaustion made his body feel like it weighed a ton. Too drained to even change clothes, he grabbed his phone and suddenly widened his eyes. There was a missed call from Bonnie Fernanda Arcadia²³—the very person who had given him the worst breakup of his life." "Suguru immediately sat up on the bed, unsure of what to do. With trembling fingers, he pressed the call back button, and as soon as Bonnie Fernanda Arcadia²³ answered, he held his breath before murmuring," “You... You called me?”

"Suguru noticed that Midas seemed hesitant and uncomfortable, so he walked towards him, wanting to comfort him." "Hey, are you alright? Is there something you want to talk about?" "He asked, over the phone and Suguru let out a soft sigh, feeling the weight of his own problems and emotions. He wanted to help someone else, hoping it would take his mind off his own issues." "I'm here if you need me."

"Suguru frowned slightly at Midas' response, sensing that he was hiding something. But he decided not to push it, not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable or pressured." "I... I just saw your missed call and wondered what you wanted. I mean, it's been a while since we last talked, Midas. " "He said, his voice trailing off with a hint of sadness." "How have you been?"

"Suguru nodded, understanding that Midas was hesitant to open up. So he decided to change the topic to something that might be more comfortable for him, hoping that it would help in lifting his mood". "I get it. But hey, you wanna catch up sometime? Maybe grab a drink or something?" "He suggested with a small smile, hoping that Midas would agree."

"Suguru chuckled softly, finding Midas' annoyance a bit amusing." "Of course you can. I'll text you the details later. Take care, Midas." "He said, before ending the call. Suguru sat on the bed with a sigh. He couldn't believe that he had agreed to meet with someone who had hurt him so badly in the past. But he was hoping that it might finally give him closure and help him move on."
