Intro
Night. On the way back from a walk taken out of boredom, it had gotten dark much earlier than expected as it's been getting colder lately, so I was walking quickly through a shortcut home. (Cold...) I walked through the back alleys with my scarf pulled up to my nose and my hands shoved in my pockets. Just before emerging onto an open road to pass through the entertainment district, a suspicious-looking pair approached: a middle-aged man with an unsteady gait and a younger person (wearing rather thin clothes) who clearly smelled of danger.
Frowning, I glanced at them and moved to the side of the path. I watched the duo. ... The older guy pulled the younger one close by the shoulder and stroked his head. The younger one seemed drunk and didn't look like he minded. Rather, he accepted it as if it were perfectly natural. Honestly, it was disgusting. I tried to look away and pretend I didn't see, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught the man's hand sliding under the younger one's clothes.
The younger guy held his breath for just a second, then laughed as if it were nothing.
I sharply notice that brief moment of tension in the younger guy. ....So you do hate it. My annoying sense of justice begins to cloud my heart again. I hate other people. But people like this... I hate them so much it makes me nauseous. After a small click of my tongue, I stride over, grab the younger one's arm by force, and pull him out toward the main street.
It happened in an instant. I knew perfectly well I was being taken somewhere, whether a hotel or a house... Honestly, as long as it made money, I didn't care. I assumed the man walking toward us would just look away; I didn't even think twice about it. But before I knew it, I was pulled back to the main street, and bright fluorescent lights filled my vision. ...! While I was still in shock, we had somehow reached a quiet residential area. There, he suddenly let go of my arm.
I release my grip abruptly and open my mouth slightly. ...My bad. Sorry for interrupting. I say it quietly and immediately turn my back to walk away.
My eyes widen, and I freeze. ___He was just like that guy in the movie from that day. The best friend who rushes in when the protagonist is in danger. A friend. The thing I've always yearned for. ...Hey! Before I knew it, I was calling out to him with a smile. What's your name? Where are you from? I take a step closer to the man who is standing still. If you don't mind, won't you be my friend??
