Chapter 13

Chapter 13

For the next while, Yoshinori and I sat on the couch and watched TV.

"Can you pause it for a sec?" He asked, turning to face me.

"Sure."

I reached over to the arm of the couch and grabbed the remote so I could pause the show we were watching.

"What's up baby?" I questioned.

"My family is still in Kobe and they might be worried about where I am."

I get what he's saying. But is this an excuse to get away from me?

"Do you want to go back to the city?" I tried to hide the hurt in my voice.

"Not for a long time, I just want to check in with my family and get my things so I can be with you." I felt relieved. "It's not because I want to be away from you."

I exhaled slowly.

"Yeah, we can do that. When do you want to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning, if possible."

I hadn't realized how dependent I was until now, but if Yoshinori needs space, I will try my best to support him no matter what.

The Next Morning

I woke up before Yoshinori as usual and decided to wait for him to wake up. So, I spent the next 10 minutes admiring Yoshinori, maybe in order to make up for the time we will be apart.

He woke up looking lost and I smiled at his innocence.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

"How long have you been awake?" He said groggily.

"Probably about 10 minutes, I don't know exactly."

"What time is it?"

I turned around to my alarm clock.

"It's 10:33 am," I reported.

"How come you didn't wake me up?"

"Why would I?"

"You always do."

"Do I?"

He squinted his eyes.

"Yes, yes you absolutely do."

"Sorry." I giggled.

"No, I love it."

He kissed me softly on the top of my head and got out of bed. This time, I was the one to follow.

"Do you need help packing?" I asked. "I can pack your things while you make breakfast. Or the other way around."

"Do you mind making breakfast?"

"Nope. I'll go make you something."

I went to the kitchen so I could start preparing a good breakfast for me and Yoshinori. I made miso soup with rice and pickled vegetables. As I was serving the food, I heard Yoshinori walking towards the kitchen. I hurried and set the bowls on the table and stood beside them, looking proud.

"I made you miso soup, rice and pickled vegetables," I declared.

Yoshinori smiled and walked towards me, grabbing my waist before kissing me deeply.

"Thank you, my love."

"Anything for you."

I took breakfast as a time to really get to know Yoshinori and I found out that he has three older sisters which is adorable. His dad died when he was young which we didn't talk about for long because I could tell that it hurt him to talk about it. His mum is still alive and well, thankfully and they all seem like really great people and I would love to meet them someday.

"I'm guessing you have to leave now?" I asked when we were finished with breakfast. I checked the clock and it was past 11 now.

"Yep. I'll go get my things."

I watched sadly as Yoshninori walked down the hallway. I know he'll be right back but it's going to feel so empty here without him. I'll go back to my dull life, waking up, making breakfast, taking care of my horses, and then going to sleep just to repeat the whole thing again the next day.

Yoshinori filled a hole I didn't know I had, and I don't want it to ever be left empty ever again.
