waking up next to your best friend and your mom on the floor of your living room was not something you experienced everyday. the two ladies who slept nearby snored softly as the sun shone through the curtains. you sat up as you rubbed your eyes as they adjusted to the light.

realisation suddenly dawned on you as you recalled the incident that happened yesterday.

you and aki were both at the entrance of the store where the cashier was stationed at. it was a calm and peaceful night until aki suddenly charged towards a red head. she was literally like a bull charging towards a red blanket and to be frank, it scared you quite a bit when she suddenly did that.

" YUUUKKKKIIIII! " aki hollered as she pounced onto the tall figure in front of her, hugging him tightly like a koala bear.

" a-aki?! OH MY GOD AKI! " the red head exclaimed as he gently let her down to give her a big hug, " its so good to see you! and what are you doing out here alone at this time? "

" bitch, it's great to see me. and actually i'm with a friend, " aki replied as she signalled you to come over which you hesitantly did.

there was no doubt. the man in front of you was the guy that takahashi was talking to. he was wearing the exact same outfit and the exact same hair style. everything matched what you saw this afternoon, except that he looked much taller up close and he looked much fitter. even without trying to notice, he was so fit that you could see his chest muscles from under his shirt. in that moment, all you could think about was asking him to drop his work out routine.

" y/n? hellooooooo earth to y/n, " aki called out to you, " stop staring at his pecs. you have a boyfriend. "

" i was not staring at his pecs, " you replied offended.

the man in front of you threw his head back as he let out a hearty laugh, " you must be y/n. "

" yeah, one and only. what's your name? " you asked.

" yukio sakamoto, " the boy replied, " if i'm not wrong, i think i saw you earlier today at Takeshita street... " sakamoto suddenly stated.

" i think i saw you too, your hair was a little hard to miss..." you replied, stating the obvious, " wait then how did you two know each other? " you pointed your index finger as it flutters between the two of them.

" he's my cousin, " aki frankly replied as she stuck forefinger out in his direction.

" YOUR WHAT? " you exclaimed, clearly flabbergasted.

" C - O - U - S - I - N. COUSIN, " aki shouted back.

" I KNOW WHAT A COUSIN IS I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S YOUR COUSIN, " you blurted.

" please keep it down. thank you, " the cashier suddenly (and rudely) interrupted.

you looked at the man at the register. the eye bags under his eyes were definitely Gucci. he was clearly burnt out and exhausted, and probably regretting his decision of working the night shift.
