"Still hanging out with Hiyori, I see." Shota gave you a smile upon seeing you, putting his hands inside his pockets as he walk towards your direction. You bit the insides of your cheeks before breathing out.
"Good day to you, Ito-san." You greeted with a small smile, bowing your head to him as a greeting.
Shota let out a huff, seeing as you aren't affected even by his presence in the slightest, the boy glared at you before walking past you, bumping shoulders which you didn't expected that caused you to drop your books.
You pursed your lips as you stare at your books, grabbing ahold of your aching shoulder.
As a person who never really participates in physical activities in school, you're a bit weak but still can hold your ground. "Seriously.." you kneeled down, picking them up one by one.
A boy walked past you when you finished gathering the fallen stuffs on the floor. You stared at his back, shoulder length black hair.
You noted how his uniform is a bit dirty. Was it possible that he played under the sun? Maybe he did by lunch break earlier. You shook your head, a lingering unknown emotion pinch your heart as you chose to ignore it.
It isn't your business to pry to others life.
After school, it became a hobby to pass by the book store to search for new stories to read, from romance to horror and historical to modern. You grabbed one of the books from the bookshelves.
The human chair by Edogawa Rampo. Heading to the horror section, the book titled as The Crimson Labyrinth managed to pique your interest, it is a novel written by Yusuke Kishi. You hummed in delight as you read the summary. Deciding that you'll get the two books.
On your way back home, there is a woman on the street with a baby in her arms, they lay down on the pavement near the alleyway on the other side of the road, made your heart ache.
Stitches second hand clothes that seems to be worn for a while now and a blanket to keep them warm. You took out your wallet and grabbed your savings, going to a near konbini to purchase a few stuff.
"Ahh. Maybe I should buy this as well." You grabbed a sachet of milk and bought all of the things in your basket.
Coming back, you spot the woman trying to pacify her child from crying, humming an old lullaby your grandmother once sing to you. It is a heartbreaking scene to look at.
"Uhm, good afternoon." You threw them a soft smile, sensing your presence beside her, the mother became cautious and skid far from you. You scratched your cheek at the action.
Thrusting your hand out with the foods and drinks in it. "I want to give you these."
Seeing as she isn't taking it, you just left it on the ground beside her, "you're a strong woman, madam. Please take good care of your child." With that, you walk away.
Yoshino Junpei watch you walk to your house's direction, his eyes trailed over the woman who opened the plastic containing the things you left, he saw how her eyes brighten with hope, opening the bread and eating it.
He shook his head and left. Sighing on the way.
Yoshino force his mind to brush off what he saw. No, it was just an act. Was what we wish to believe. He walk to his neighborhood and pretend he didn't saw anything.
Human are heartless.
Human are heartless.
Human are heartless.
They're all heartless.
"|Y.n|, welcome home." Your mother greeted you as she heard the door open, you sat on the entrance, taking off your shoes and stockings and using your shoe slippers.
"I'm home!"
You approach the older |l.n| and kissed her cheek before looking over to her shoulder, "ooh! Tempura!" Your eyes lit up at the frying shrimp.
"Yes yes, now go on and change before having dinner." She ushered you upstairs to change into your pajamas, somehow, you're lucky to have yourself a caring mother.
"Okay!" You singsang the word, going to your room change out of your uniform.
