At Rin's home.
The four girls sat together, drinking and chatting. The dishes on the table were not particularly lavish, but they had already finished two bottles of wine.
Suddenly, an ill-timed knock sounded at the door. Rin got up to answer it and found a tall figure standing outside.
Obito had shot up to over six feet tall now, and Rin had to tilt her head up to look at him.
"Good evening, Rin. May I invite you to..." Obito seemed to have prepared his lines, speaking the instant Rin opened the door.
But halfway through, Obito suddenly sniffed the air and asked in surprise, "Rin, have you been drinking?"
Rin stepped aside and gestured for him to look into the living room, where Anko, Shizune, and Kurenai Yuhi were all gathered.
Obito scratched his head. "So you're having a party. Then I came at the wrong time."
Rin said as well, "Sorry, Obito. It's all girls..."
Obito gave a foolish laugh. "It's fine. Just don't drink too much, or it'll be bad for your health. Put a glass of water beside your bed before you go to sleep tonight."
"I know. Thank you."
After politely sending Obito away, Rin shut the door and returned to her seat.
"Who was it?" Shizune asked.
Kurenai Yuhi gave a soft laugh. "Who do you think would knock on her door at this hour?"
Shizune looked enlightened, then sighed. "Obito really is persistent. He's so devoted, Rin. You still won't accept him?"
Rin looked helpless. "I really don't feel that way about him. I've told him countless times, but he's always like this. There's nothing I can do, so I just let him be."
After thinking for a moment, Shizune asked again, "Then do you still like Kakashi?"
Rin rested her cheek
