You've met him before, in prison. Hanemiya Kazutora. He was released one year ago, and you missed him. You get along with him, so you haven't been bored inside the cell. You two are not in a relationship, but you are more than just friends. What matters is that you enjoy each other's company.

You unintentionally killed your stepfather, who has destroyed your life, he is abusive, so you believe he deserved his faith. You were fighting him in the stairs at the time, and you accidentally pushed him because he was pulling your hair so hard. But.. you're not depressed at all. You're content because you're liberated. Because you had suffered so much, your mother abandoned you to him. And you feel empty when she lets the cops arrest you without even defending yourself or asking if you're okay. She doesn't give a damn about you. You are nothing to her.

You'll be released later, but you're not happy. You don't know how to begin again outside of this prison.

//Flashbacks//

"When I'm free, I'll help someone because I learned from my mistakes. He sacrificed himself, so I want to save his treasure." he said.

"Thank you for your advice, Y/n. I just realized, so I'd like to see you again when we're both free, okay?"

//End of the flashback//

All you want is to see him when you're free. You don't have any relatives or even a home. He's the first person who comes to mind when you think of someone to see.

"You'll see him later." the boy in the corner said.

"Lol, I have no idea where he is." you said, chuckled. You know who he was referring to.

"You don't need to find him because he'll find you." he smirked.

"Don't give me hope, dude. There's something important to him that he'll do, so why would he bother looking for me? Besides, I know I'll be alone when I release." he simply smiled at you.

When you fix your things, you don't feel anything. You can sell your stepfather's house and other valuable possessions in order to rent a bed and look for work in order to continue living in this world. You don't want to see your useless mother, and she feels the same way. You don't need her, and pretend you don't have a mother.

You didn't consider ending your life here because something inside of you said don't end your life in this situation. Is it partly related to Kazutora? He said that everyone has a chance, and he is giving you hope that everything will be fine.

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. You sighed and lowered your gaze to your feet. Where will your feet take you this time?

"You were just released, but you don't seem happy at all." you are surprised to hear. You noticed a boy with familiar natural black hair with yellow streaks running through it, which he wears in a ponytail.

"Kazutora!" you exclaim, running up to him and hugging him.

"At long last, you smile." he chuckled.

"I TOLD YOU HE'D FIND YOU!" someone exclaimed, and you turned your head to see that it was the boy who had spoken to you earlier. He was captured by police after attempting to escape to see if he was correct.

You give him a thumbs up, and he simply waves back.

"How did you find out? What are you doing here? Or do you want to see me, miss me?" you ask, smirking.

"Perhaps, but I promised we'd see each other again when we were released." he said.

"You didn't come to see me once." you said. He takes your bag and walks you to his vehicle.

"You had no idea how I was able to stop myself just to finish my tasks before you were released."

"Me too. I just imagined you were there, doing crazy things by yourself." you said, and he laughed.

"You're still funny, you didn't feel sad behind those bars?" he asked.

"I'm bored because you're no longer there, but I think I can stay until I die because I don't know how to start my life outside the prison."

"Then begin your new life with me. Forget the past, the important thing now is the present and the future." he said.

"Remember, it wasn't your fault. It was self-defense. You're not a murderer."

You've been in the cage since birth, and you're nervous about what he said. It's first time that someone causes your heart to stop beating.

"Stop, you make my heart skip a beat." you said, looking down so he couldn't see your tomato face because you were blushing.

"I'm nervous too." he chuckled as he took your hand in his. When he starts driving, your gaze remains fixed on him while he looks ahead. You consider how your life will be with him.

Is this okay?

"Everything will be fine, I'm here. You're not living like you used to." he said, kissing your hand in his. You smiled as you looked out the window.
