Ｔｈｅ Ｏｎｅ Ｔｈａｔ Ｉ Ｌｅｔ Ｇｏ (Matsukawa X Reader)

Ch.4 At This Hour

■Y/N's POV■

I've just finished applying my light makeup and look at myself one more time in the mirror. I'm so nervous that my heart is beating so fast.

Y/N: do your best Y/N!

I pick up my bag and walk out of my apartment. It's been three months since I moved here after graduating from college.

I live on the other side of the city from where I lived before. Thankfully, the place that I applied to is only two stops away by train from here.

I got a call from one of the textile studios that I applied to four days ago, they said I was accepted. Today is my first day and I'm so excited. I've been interested in fabric manipulation or surface and structure designing since I was in Junior High School.

And the studio that hires me is one of the textile producing companies that I look up to.

I walk into the subway and get on the train, the train is quite packed at this hour. As we're about to reach the first stop, I realize something.

The next stop is...

It's the station where Matsukawa always stops at, his house is not far from here. I also remember that Matsukawa works around the same area and when he uses the train, he'll stop at the same station.

As I think about him, I shook her head internally.

Don't think about him... it doesn't matter anymore... moreover, he has a car, he rarely uses the train...

we work in the same area doesn't mean we're going to see each other. And moreover, though we pass, that doesn't matter. It shouldn't matter at all.

I walk out of the train as I reach my stops and head to where my workplace is.

Y/N: I only need to think about my workpalce~ this is my dream job after all.

■Matsukawa's POV■

I walk inside one of the train carts, standing so close to the other passenger as the train is really crowded at this hour.

Yesterday my car broke down and I left it at the repair shop. Because of that, I'm forced to use the train today.

As I look around, my eyes caught something. Mingles with the other people inside this cart, there's Y/N, standing while staring out the window.

It's her.... where did she get on? Does she live in the xx region?

I can't help but stare at her, the woman that I haven't seen for almost five months already.

Y/N doesn't change at all. She looks a little nervous but excited as well.

Where are you going to?

When the train reached my destination, I saw Y/N get off on this stop too, I wait for a little before walking to the exit, making sure that she didn't see me. I'm afraid she might feel uncomfortable.

I watch as she heads in the opposite direction from the one I'm taking. She looks happy, unlike that day. She looks like the Y/N who always smiles and is kind to everyone, the one that made me fall in love with her.

As she walks further I can no longer see her after zoning out for a bit.
Where is she heading to?

How is she doing?

Can't help but stare at the place where I last saw her earlier.

Mayuki and I are officially going out since four months ago. Mayuki keeps on pestering me who doesn't understand why I didn't immediately ask her to be my girlfriend. I couldn't, to be exact.
