Ch.1 A Solution

■Y/N's POV■

The chairs are on the table by now. I put the broom in my hand in the back room when I hear the voice of someone leaving the store.

Koumi: Y/N chan , then I'll be leaving first, I'm so sorry...

I look at the woman in her 30 who looks at me with worried. It brings a smile to my face knowing that she feels guilty for leaving me in her stationery store.

Y/N: it's okay Auntie Koumi, your husband is unwell, of course, you need to be home as soon as possible.

Koumi: thank you for your understanding honey, ... please don't stay too late, the store isn't that busy anyway, you can close it down earlier and go home. You have to help your parents tidy up their shop as well right?

I walk closer to the owner of this store who still hasn't left to see her husband. I put my hands on aunt Koumi's shoulder as I gently push her towards the exit.

Y/N: yes Msr. Owner, hehehe... okay I'll close the store at 08:00...

I look at the time on my watch, it's already 08.00. I immediately tidy up the store and proceed to close the store. By the time I'm done cleaning the place, the time has turned to 08.45.

Oh my... I think I clean up too long...

I immediately grab my bag and head out to lock the store. I put the keys inside my purse and headed to the subway. Just like what aunt Koumi says, I have to help my parents close our shop as well, the shop is on the first floor of our house, we live on the 2nd floor.

Mom and dad run a croquette shop, it was my grandparents from my dad's side's business. After grandfather passed away, dad continue the business and mom works there, that's when love bloomed between the two of them.

Thinking about the shop always makes me feel warm inside, knowing how that place brought my mom to my dad. I wish I could have a happy marriage life like mom and dad as well.

but so far my love life is not very smooth. I just broke up with my boyfriend three months ago, I found out that he has been cheating on me with the manager of our school baseball club.

Kosaka Tomoya was my boyfriend, he's a member of the baseball club. He and I were in the same class back in our 2nd year, I admire him because he always looks so cheerful and kind to everyone. Just then one day he asked me out, telling me that he likes how I always help out everyone in the class, and how he feels comfortable around me.

But I guess, he found comfort in someone else. Though when I found him with that manager he came and chase after me telling me he was sorry, I just can't forgive him that way. I told him we can go back to being friends and wish him happiness with her.

Remembering Kosaka makes me look at my phone, he has been texting me again three weeks ago. saying that he wants to talk to me, to meet me, and ask me to give him another chance. In school, he greets me and always asks me to let him explain himself, but thankfully my friends Ai and Rui help me to avoid him. Just when I look at his text, another one came.

Where are you Y/N? Come on stop avoiding me, let's talk.

Why is he so persistent?

I've become uncomfortable with him with all of these texts, thankfully we're no longer in the same class in our third year of high school. I don't want us to have a bad relationship, so I always reply to his texts telling him whatever is on my mind.

Kosaka san, we talked about this when we ended our relationship. I'd like to stay friends with you, so let's not talk about this anymore. Please
