Crime

"What are you doing?" In the studio, the little assistant looked curiously at Kaito who was leaning against the window and humming.

Kaito touched the leaves of the small potted plant by the window: "It's nothing, just playing with the flowers and plants, by the way, help me get the half bottle of mineral water on the table, please?"

The assistant agreed and picked up the water bottle and walked over. Before it was handed to Kaito, he suddenly slipped his foot, and while holding on to the window sill, the water bottle slipped from his hand and fell from the open window.

"I... I'm sorry!" The assistant hurriedly looked downstairs. Fortunately, there was an open space below. It was just that a girl who just passed by was startled, but she just raised her head, smiled and waved her hands to indicate that it was okay.

The girl had short hair and had a pretty smile. The assistant couldn't help but looked at her and giggled, and then realized that she stepped back a few steps away from the window in embarrassment. In the end, it was Kaito who smoothed things over.

"Okay, don't hide, I'm gone," Kaito looked back at the assistant who was blushing for no reason, "What's wrong with you?"

"That girl is so beautiful... Ah, I mean, I think she's a pretty nice person. Looking at the dress she's wearing, could she also be from our company?" the assistant asked a little embarrassedly.

Kaito realized what he meant, but finally nodded with a subtle expression.

"Really?! Do you know her? She's..."

"Chairman." The three words of Kaito cut off all the thoughts of the other party.

"...Really?" The assistant looked at him dumbfounded, "So young...and so pretty?"

"It's been a month since Gumi's official succession, don't you know?"

"I know, I know, but I have no chance to meet her in real life," the assistant said, "I heard that she is Mr. Kamui's younger sister? She seems to be a cousin...ah, no, cousin?"

Kaito hummed lightly, but said nothing.

"I really don't understand what these executives are thinking. If my sister is okay, what happened to the boss to give up the equity to others so safely?" The assistant just finished speaking, but someone behind him suddenly patted his shoulders.

"Young man, be careful, don't talk nonsense." The manager reprimanded him a little, then turned around and handed some schedules to Kaito, "Recently, the schedule has changed a bit, please pay attention."

This... More than a little change, right? Kaito flipped through it in disbelief, and found that almost all the announcements for one month had been brought forward by one week, and those that could not be advanced or could not be arranged were all pushed clean.

"What...what's going on?" Kaito asked dumbfounded.

"We don't know very well," the agent frowned, "but this time it was arranged by the upper management of the company."

The upper echelons of the company?

After pressing the key to get off the car, Gakupo followed the sound and walked to his car in the underground parking lot. He couldn't help but feel that the lights here were a little dim.When he was thinking about whether to talk to them about redecorating, someone behind him suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't move."

Hearing the man's voice, Gakupo just followed his joke and raised his hands and turned around, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Kaito looked at him and sneered, "You're quite laid back."

"With a good helper by your side, can't you just relax?" Gakupo crossed his arms and leaned against the car door.

Kaito understands that he is talking about himself, but this tone of praise and derogation boils down to the fact that the other party is just teasing him. He was a little annoyed by those schedules, but now he is really annoyed I couldn't say a word.

"Is this going to be awkward?" Gakupo asked playfully.

Kaito lowered his eyes and took a deep breath, then looked up at him: "Don't pretend you don't know about this, how can any agency treat artists like this? The mandatory arrangement is too much, right?"

"That's for others." Gakupo straightened up and reached out to pick his chin. "For you, it's different."

"This set doesn't work for me," Kaito looked up at him, "You need to clarify what it means first."

"Nothing else," Gakupo replied. "Didn't I go to the UK when the company had an accident last month? Now that everything has been settled, I can go back and deal with some work. By the way, thank you for your kindness."

"Oh, you want to go back?" Kaito suddenly changed his tone, "What's none of my business?"

Gakupo laughed suddenly: "Did I say I'm going back alone?"

"You..." Kaito looked at him unreasonably, "Why should I go too? Did I agree?"

Gakupo laughed: "I didn't give you the right to refuse."

Kaito took a deep breath again and tried to suppress his anger. For a moment, he didn't realize that he, who was always gentle with others, would be angry because of someone, and he didn't realize that he was actually confronting the person he was most afraid of.

Kaito rubbed his temples to calm down for a while, and finally said: "...when are you leaving?"

It's over, just compromise again. Kaito wondered if he was too easy to succumb to other people's despotic power, but thinking that he didn't feel any fear when he was in such a dangerous situation when Charles was the chairman a month ago, he couldn't help feeling that it wasn't the case.

"Don't you think this is still agreed?" Gakupo leaned slightly to meet his eyes, "Why? Why did you take you there without asking?"

"You can do whatever you want as long as you don't sell me out," Kaito feebly covered his face, "Why are you so close?"

"Hey, I really didn't want to do anything this time," Gakupo smiled, "Seeing that you have to keep your head up when you talk to me, I think you are very tired."

The anger that had just been suppressed was then ignited by him again with a word, Kaito raised his head and gave him a hard look, then turned around without saying a word and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Gakupo asked behind him.

Kaito threw down two words angrily: "Go home."

"Which way?"

Hearing this, Kaito stopped and looked back at him, gritted his teeth and restrained his anger and shouted: "Go back to my own home!"

When this matter was brought up again, it was already a week later.

After rushing back from the field, Kaito realized that not only did Gakupo not plan to wait for him to go to the airport with him, the only thing he did was to leave a ticket for him to find.

I am not afraid that I will suddenly decide not to go. Kaito was thinking as he glanced at the ticket in the light of the street lamps—but the only thing this guy had any conscience about was taking an evening flight, at least he wouldn't be too easy to recognize this way.

But even if he arrives at the airport early, he still has to wait. Instead of waiting for the flight, he might as well let him have a taste of waiting for himself. Kaito thought about it and put down his hand that was about to hail a taxi, and continued walking down the street.

Pedestrians all around hurriedly walked, only his footsteps were slightly slow.When passing by the largest commercial plaza in the city center, Kaito raised his head to look at the huge screen, and he suddenly realized how familiar this scene was.

That was a few years ago?Four years ago, or five years ago?

At that time, everything was different from now. My own destiny was never in my own hands, and my soul was tortured by unknown desires.Perhaps some faults were not borne by individuals, but under such an opportunity at that time, there was no longer any "should be".

However, the past is the past after all, and the present self is only living for itself.He straightened the backpack on his shoulders, turned and left.

When Kaito arrived at the airport just in time for the ticket check to start, after boarding the plane, he saw the man sitting on the seat next to his seat and watching him calmly.

"It's a bit late, did you come here by yourself?" Gakupo asked.

It is really too familiar. Kaito thought, but didn't answer, just leaned back in the seat, tilted his head and said: "You don't know how tired I am from rushing to make announcements these days, let's not talk, I'll sleep first. "

The last thing that came into view was still that person's face.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be powerful! I want, I want to protect others, so that others... no longer have to be afraid!"

"What do you want to do in the future?"

"Professional? It's a bit early to say, but it should be pretty good to stay in school as a teacher after graduating from college."

"What do you want to do?"

"Live well, I think that's enough."

Opening his eyes, Kaito realized that he had been asleep for a while.What did you dream about just now?He closed his eyes and thought about it—the self when he was a child, the one who was growing up...and until now.

He stood up slightly, and suddenly felt something slipped from his body, and he reached out to catch it, only to find that it was Gakupo's coat.Did he put it on himself when he fell asleep just now?

It was only then that Kaito noticed that the seat next to him was empty, but he clearly heard Gakupo's voice for a while after the plane took off, and it was still early before landing.

Kaito leaned on the seat, the coat in his arms still had the smell of the other party, but the smell of tobacco was almost gone.He remembered that he had once said something like disgusting the smell of cigarettes, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually quit smoking because of his words.

He waited for a while, but he never saw the other party come back.

Where did it go?
