Sometime has passed after how Hayato treated Sayuri inappropriately, a day to be exact. Still, being treated that way, Sayuri almost exploded out of embarrassment yesterday.

Today’s a day off, a weekend to be precise. The sunlight shining through her window, reflecting through her skin as usual, gently wakes her up. But as she got out of the bed, her apartment doorbell rang.

“-So early in the morning, who could it be?” She thought as she was about to open her apartment door.

As she opened the door, there, she saw someone familiar.

“Sup’ Sayuri.” It turns out, it’s her cousin, Fukumoto Haru.

“HAAAH! Haru-chan! It’s been so long!” Sayuri answered as she hugged her cousin.

“AW! I CAN’T BREATHE SAYURI!” He answered.

“Oh! I’m sorry, why don’t you come in.” She told Haru as she releases him.

“Phew! Finally! Why not?” He answered.

As they went to the living room, Haru sat down while Sayuri made some tea at the kitchen to serve him.

“So? Why visit?” Sayuri asked, while preparing some tea.

“First of all, you haven’t changed at all. Still aggressive as always.. Hmm..” He answered.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

“Hah? I am not! Anyways, why’re you here?”

“Your father told me to come check on you.”

“E-eh? Why?”

“Pshh.. I dunno’.”

“EHH?! Why’s that?!”

“I don’t care at all, just need to finish my job as your cousin here. Anyways, I’m freaking starving!”

“Oh yeah! My bad! Let me cook-“ Sayuri answered as she was about to look inside her fridge. But as she looked inside, there was nothing left behind to cook. It was surprisingly empty.

“Oh my. Looks like I forgot to go to the supermarket..” Sayuri said.

“Whaaat? How are you going to feed me then?” Haru told Sayuri.

“HAH! You’re the same as always too! Still acting very immature and irrational when it comes to food!!” Sayuri told him.

“Let’s just eat outside! What a drag~” Haru answered, being unfazed with what Sayuri told her.

They got out of the apartment and went straight to a nearby café. After they finished eating, Haru suddenly remembered that he forgot to buy some take out at the café they went for his little sister, so he went back at the café, leaving Sayuri waiting at the park sitting on a bench.

There while sitting on a bench waiting for Haru to come back, she stared at the sky, giving out an elegant and gorgeous aura. She kept staring at the sky. Although she was being stared by too many people already, unfazed, she kept having a straight face as if she was bothered by something.

“-Why does he want to take revenge on me anyways? Isn’t that a little absurd for a university student to do? Why is he even here? It was Enomoto-kun (Daisuke) who was supposed to be here right?” In actuality, she was thinking of why Hayato was doing those things and why Daisuke, Hayato’s the cousin, was not the one to be there with her.

Bothered while thinking, suddenly, someone walked in front of her.

“-Is Haru back already?” She thought, thinking that Haru was the one who walked right in front of her. But as she looked at the person, it was actually Hayato.

“So early in the morning. Why’re you waiting here?” Hayato asked, smiling at her gently.

“E-Enomoto-kun?!” Sayuri being shocked and all, suddenly brought out a startled answer due to yesterday’s happenings with Hayato.
