Age: 15 / June 23, 2007 / Tokyo, Japan

My name is Y/N Kurokawa. I am 14 years old and currently studying in middle school. I have an older brother named Izana, but he is now inside a juvenile detention center because he beat someone to the point of no recovery.

And it is because of me. I should have been more careful. If that man hadn't attacked and hurt me, my older brother wouldn't have had to rush in and help. He was just protecting his little sister  but the way he beats people is different from anyone else. He doesn't just fight them. He kills them.

I sighed. In my opinion, I don't care if he kills someone, because I always believe that Iza-nii would never attack an innocent person. He kills because they have done something bad and wrong  he is simply repaying their evil deeds.

Sighing sadly, I put on my shoes and went outside. Without him, I am lonely. He is the only person I have, aside from Kakucho — my one and only family.

Right now, he would normally be walking me to school, nagging me not to take a liking to any boys on campus because he planned to pick my future boyfriend himself from one of his gang members that he thought would suit me best.

He was like a teenage mom. I miss him. It has already been months.

"But he'll be released in 2 months! So it's okay!"

I cheered myself up and made my way to school. I passed an elderly woman along the way and greeted her she greeted me back with a warm smile.

I was walking along the sidewalk when I spotted my crush.

"Ran-kun!"

Feeling happy, I rushed toward him. He turned his gaze to me with a look of exhaustion written all over his features.

"Are you okay? You look very tired," I said as I reached him.

He ignored my question and simply scoffed.

He was always like this — but it was fine. I was already used to it.

"By the way, where's your little brother?"

Still ignored.

To draw his attention, I opened my bag and pulled out the extra lunchbox I had made for him. "Here… it's delicious."

He sighed and glanced down at my hand.

"Stop giving me things like this. You're wasting your time."

"It won't be wasted if Ran-kun eats it."

"Exactly."

Then he walked away, leaving me behind without accepting the bento I had made with my full effort. I had even shaped the onigiri into cute cat faces. But since I was stubborn, I ran to catch up with him. He was very tall and his strides were so fast that I was panting heavily before I could even match his pace.

"Ran-kun is really grumpy," I teased between breaths and poked his cheek.

He shot me a sharp glare, so I gulped and laughed awkwardly.

"Tsk. You're so annoying."

He put more distance between us and turned his gaze in the other direction. I didn't make it obvious, but it hurt a little  the way he kept showing that he didn't want me anywhere near him.

Since Ran-kun refused the lunchbox again, I tucked it back into my bag and thought of someone else to give it to. I didn't want to waste food  so many people go through the day without a proper meal because they simply can't afford one.

'Ah, right! I'll give it to Misha. I already know she didn't bring a lunchbox today it's Friday, and she always forgets to prepare one on Fridays.'

My mood lifted instantly.

"Sayonara, Ran-kun  see you later!"

I called out as I ran through the school gate, not waiting for a reply, because I already knew he wouldn't give one.

I really like Ran-kun. No matter how cold he is toward me, I will keep loving him  hoping that one day he will realize and see just how much I do. I believe that the person above will lead him to me someday, since my feelings for him are sincere.

I will not give up. I am sure that a girl like me can win his heart. I am kind, and I have a good heart  surely, someone like that is worth falling for, right?
