This was their first time meeting alone since she found out Rodrick had a first love.
Was it to get some info?
That’s right, I should’ve gotten to know about it.
Let’s just take this as an explanation for these seven years.
Having a beginning and an end was always better than starting and not finishing.
Britney was slow and didn’t do things as quickly as she usually did.
Strangely, Rodrick didn’t rush her either, just watched her like that.
The light above shone on his high, straight brow bones, hiding his eyes in the dark so no one could tell what he was feeling.
“Want some water?” Britney asked him after changing her shoes.
What was meant to come always came, couldn’t hide from it.
“Not drinking.”
Britney poured herself a cup of hot water.
She had to take medicine.
Rodrick saw her taking medicine and frowned a bit, “Is it really bad?”
“What?”

“Katheryn said you called in sick today because you got hurt at Aethom Tech,” Rodrick explained.
It took me three days to remember to ask, isn’t that a bit too late?
Britney finished the hot water in her cup and felt a lot better.
He finally spoke, “It stopped hurting a long time ago, and I was taking stomach medicine.”
Rodrick’s brows relaxed a little, then furrowed again, “Have you seen a doctor?”
“Yeah.”
“How did you say it?”
“Couldn’t drink alcohol, had to take good care of myself.”
Rodrick frowned even more.
I didn’t know if I was worried about not being able to help him drink in the future, or if I was regretting making her drink for Bianca that night.
Britney thought it was mostly the former.
But Rodrick, for once, actually said something reasonable, “Try to drink less from now on.”
Britney suddenly wanted to open the window to see if the sun would rise in the west tomorrow morning.
“Got, it,” Britney replied.
After all, she was already planning to quit.
Rodrick, who had been sitting all along, suddenly got up and walked over to Britney.

Britney had her lower back against the table and just leaned on it as she stepped closer to him.
Until I stopped right in front of her.
Britney didn’t say anything, just stared at him.
She wanted to take a good look at this face, maybe she wouldn’t see it again.
Rodrick was definitely good–looking.
That was the kind that women called sleeping with him is a win.
And this kind of person, she just slept for seven years.
Britney’s chest, which had felt blocked for more than half a month, suddenly felt clear.
Sometimes people really did need to look at things from a different angle.
“Look.” Rodrick suddenly spoke, breaking Britney’s self–hypnosis.
“Huh?” Britney didn’t get it.
Thinking… was it really this straightforward?
There wasn’t any kind of intro or something?
Rodrick said, “Wound.”
Britney,
“1
…
She looked away guiltily, “I told you, it didn’t hurt anymore…”
Rodrick didn’t wait for her to finish talking and just started checking.

Britney didn’t know how he figured out where she was hurt, anyway, he lifted her sleeve right on the spot and showed the wound on her forearm.
The human body was just amazing like that, it would slowly heal itself after getting hurt.
So the wound didn’t look as scary as when it first happened, it was just really long and went all the way across my forearm.
“Will it leave a scar?” he asked Britney.
“Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn’t.” Britney actually wasn’t really used to this kind of Rodrick.
