(Tokyo Revengers) The Insomniac Girl Needs a Sleep-Inducing Kiss (Reborn)

Female lead: Shaozi; male lead: Madarame Shion

Female lead's perspective:

"Ever since our boss awakened his urge to sleep, he just falls asleep whenever he gets into a fight." The Black Dragon underlings gathered together, mocking their leader for doing nothing but slacking off all day.

Shaozi happened to overhear them as she passed by. The girl, who had suffered from insomnia for years, lay on her bed that night, awake yet again. She stared at the ceiling and suddenly sighed. She envied that boss so much. He could fall asleep even in the middle of a fight, while she could lie in bed all night without getting a wink of sleep!

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Shaozi found Madarame Shion sleeping on the rooftop after skipping class.

And so the following conversation took place.

"Madarame-kun."

"...?"

"Could you... take me on as one of your followers?" She did her best to open her eyes as wide as she could, hoping to look more energetic.

Madarame Shion gave her a contemptuous look. "Black Dragon doesn't welcome women."

"Please give me a chance!" Shaozi put her hands together and bowed ninety degrees to Madarame Shion. "I've always admired you and wanted to learn your urge to sleep!"

Urge to sleep...!

Madarame Shion instantly lost his temper. He grabbed her by the collar with both hands and shoved her down, leaving half her body hanging over the edge of the rooftop. He nearly killed her. "You've got some nerve. Say that again!"

With the wind howling in her ears and the Black Dragon leader roaring at her, Shaozi shed tears of regret.

"I'm sorry. I might... possibly have the wrong person."

Male lead's perspective:

Madarame Shion got dumped because he failed to teach his girlfriend his urge to sleep. It all started last week.

After school last Wednesday, he took Shaozi to a love hotel. Come on, the great Madarame Shion wasn't going to deny himself. Exercising his rights as her boyfriend was only natural, okay? Though he had asked for her consent several times before daring to do it. But none of that mattered now.

"One sheep, two sheep, three..." He excitedly pulled off his shirt with one hand, when he heard Shaozi's soft, sweet voice beside him.

"What are you counting?" He rolled over on top of Shaozi. She was still counting on her fingers.

Shaozi tilted her head back and answered seriously, "Sheep. If I don't count them, I won't be able to fall asleep later."

"Tch, that sort of thing doesn't work." His voice grew husky as he leaned closer and kissed her on the forehead. "Madarame-sama will teach you the real urge to sleep."

After their passionate tryst, the girl he had held tightly in his arms pried his hands off and began getting dressed without a word. Confused, he asked where she was going. Shaozi coolly zipped up her skirt.

"Well, let's end it here. It would be rude to keep loving you." She recited what sounded like a line from a TV drama, took a few bills from her wallet, placed them on the bedside table, and said they should split the bill.

"..." Madarame Shion sat up in bed, dazed, and grabbed the girl by the arm. "End it here...? What the hell are you talking about?" This inexplicable woman needed to explain herself!

"You're not very good. Let's break up."

From the clear gaze in the girl's eyes, he could tell she was asking, Is that clear enough?

And there was... even a hint of pity.
