Panic started to creep in me even though it feels like I'm still sleeping, I took a sharp intake of breath when I decided to open my eyes as I adjusted from what's reality and dream. The morning light took over the room, making my room turn into a hue of blue. Closing my eyes, I decided to roam my arm by the side of the bed only to realize that my bed feels lighter and that it was empty. Tsukki must've left early.

I was guessing that I woke up early when I quickly realized that the temperature of my room was still chilly, I sat up on my bed and placed both my hands by my knees only to realize that my arms, was once again had lines written all over them. I rolled my eyes and a soft chuckle escaped my lips.

I took my phone in my hand to check the time and it was still seven in the morning, why did I even wake up this early? I was immediately reminded that it was Saturday and that we didn't have classes.

Observing the written lines on my arms, I noticed that neither of these were constellations. It was letters. I quickly decipher the written letters on my arms, connecting to each of my freckles, I traced each letters to form it into a phrase.

I mumbled quietly to myself as my fingers traced my skin, "I . . . L . . . O . . . V . . ."

Oh.

I felt my cheeks heat up when I realized that each letters formed the word I LOVE U.

My bed's emptiness made it extra cold in my room. I already miss Tsukki. Why did he have to leave so early? I buried my head down my pillow to emit a low groan, whining to myself, I should've woke up earlier than him so I'd always tell him not to leave.

I faced my ceiling as I was quick to reminded with what happened last night, having the butterflies make its way to my stomach again, I smiled to myself by the memory of it. I don't think I'll be able to sleep again now that I could feel my blood rushing throughout my body too lively, the same excitement when I was with Tsukki last night was still in me.

And with that, I decided to fix my bed and took a quick shower before coming down the stairs as I was greeted by the aroma of coffee and expensive cigar.

Entering the kitchen, I saw my mom sitting down by the table as she held a cup of coffee in her hand and a magazine on the other, the kitchen was filled with scarce smoke from the cigarette placed on the ash tray.

"You're smoking, again?" I muttered, trying to surpress my annoyance, my mom didn't bother to look at me as she kept her eyes over the magazine.

"What do you mean? It's Saturday, Tadashi, eat your breakfast," She quickly mumbled before taking another sip of her coffee.

For the first time after two weeks, I sat down by the table and decided to just eat cereal that I never consumed. I assumed that this box of cereal was kept in the kitchen's drawer for a few months.

My mom sighed and placed her magazine down as she eyed me with scrutiny, "Did you lost weight?" She asked, her big, black eyes studying my frame for a few seconds.

"Uh . . . No?" I answered, a little confused.

She didn't reply and shrugged her shoulders before taking a drag of the cigarette. Her cigar was too pricey because she had to buy it overseas from America, I sometimes wouldn't get my mom because she gets too obsessed with the idea of being rich and living the luxurious life to the point that she would buy these kind of stuff that wouldn't even help with starvation.

I watched my mom observe my frame as I continued to eat my cereal, the cereal was too sweet for me, that's why I never ate them, I always liked onigiri or natto for breakfast. I sat there silently chewing on ny food when she narrowed her eyes towards me.
