The Legend of Runa

Great! The b!tches that humiliated Ren are here just like I planned. One of the students from their group is Ruby’s garage client and she helped me find out their names so I can hack and send out a fake influencer invitation party. Soon the rest of their friends will be here too. Bet they didn’t expect this crowd and place. If I could read their minds they’re probably thinking they’re too good for this bar. Tch.

Soon the band started playing. Ren smoothly played his guitar at the back. Oh wait, it’s time for his guitar solo! Play it cool, Ren. I know you’re surprised to see your schoolmates in the audience, but trust me, you can do this. You just have to believe in yourself.

It doesn’t take long before Ren’s performance to hit viral on social media. The popular kids are here and posted him, super impressed. They are all mostly positive encouragements and compliments. Ren, you are finally recognized and seen as who you truly are.

Our eyes met and it’s like an unspoken mutual understanding between us. I believed in him and he believed in me. He continued to play his guitar solo riff and the emotions just filled up the room! Even his schoolmates are all surprised and amazed!

“Is it possible that that someone else who’s lonely is… you?”
You did great, Ren. But this is just the beginning. Your path to success all begins here.

You’ve been in the dark for far too long. It’s time to step into the light and accept your fate. The future that is bright for you. You don’t need to be scared, I’ll be here to hold your hand.

Ren: “Of course. Of course Runa has a date. This isn’t OUR date! How stupid am I? I don’t deserve someone as special as Runa. She’s way out of my league. Wait, is that… RUBY??”

The performance was exceptional but it’s time to go home now. Ren must be waiting outside starting up his moped– Huh?
“I didn’t know you smoke.” I glared at him. “It was you, was it?” He asked. He didn’t even look at me. Is he mad? “You invited those people from school didn’t you? Why did you do that? And Ruby, are you two together?” What’s with the attitude, Ren?

“I only invited you.” he said, still avoiding eye contact. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I broke your trust or if you feel betrayed. I only did that because I care for you. I see the real you, Ren. I know you have greatness within you but you’re afraid to show it. I want you to see that people appreciate you–”

What… What is this…?
