teru wanted to go to the park. it was getting a little dark outside so i told him we could go tomorrow.

typing it in my phone so i don't forget, i get a notification from yasuko.

the message read:

thank you so much for taking care of him today, hope you enjoyed it!!

we're both on the way back now so please let yuuji know that we are almost home.

hope you like jelly cups because i bought you some from the store :P

thanks again <3
-yasuko

she was adorable and you were already in love with this whole family.

how did she know you liked jelly cups?

i hope they're the lychee ones, i like those ones. but yasuko being yasuko, i assume she found out my favourite flavour was lychee somehow and bought those ones.

me and teru played games together, watched a movie and finally the time came for me to leave.

"you promise you'll come back!" teru cried

"yes teru i promise." i don't understand this kid. he really doesn't want me to go. doesn't he realise i'm coming back tomorrow?

"y/n chan will be back as soon as you know it yuuji chan, don't worry! let her go home now, ok? you'll see her tomorrow."

"but that's too far away~" teru calls out

"you'll she her very soon teru, if you let her leave the sooner you'll see her." his father, takaya says

"...okay..."

he slowly walks up to me as i stand by the door.

he hugs my legs and squeezes my skirt in his fists.

"pinky promise me."

"pinky... promise?"

he nods his head.

i sigh and get down on my knees, sticking out my pinky finger i join it with his much smaller one and we pinky promise.

"i pinky promise to come back, ok?" i say reassuringly

he gives a small smile before letting me go.

we all wave our goodbyes and i make my way back home.

one of my biggest concerns when i'm walking home alone is if i'm listening to music and jamming too hard that a kidnapper could just comes and takes me away, so i make sure to put my earphones in with the volume slightly smaller than i'd usually have it and not as good of a playlist that i'd usually be listening to so i don't jam too hard.

an upbeat song was on and i was bobbing my head to the beat while walking, lightly singing and humming occasionally.

as the happy tune comes to an end you are excited for the next song, only to hear the start of it and groan in frustration.

"of course the good mood comes to an end... always when i'm in a good mood."

and i continue walking back home listening to the song in silence.

song played: mr loverman by ricky montgomery

literal pain.

but seriously the last part is a real struggle

is a real struggle. getting
kidnapped while jamming
is a real serious matter for
me 😭🖐 and istg mr loverman
always comes on while i'm in
the middle of jamming. it's
like it can sense when i'm
happy and just want to go
and ruin it🙏
