College Boy and Silver-Haired Beauty

Prologue

3rd POV

Flashback

A boy is crouching in the middle of the room, with no shirt on and on his knees, with his hands covering his head, trying to lessen the damage to himself from the adult. The adult was using a wooden utensil on the child, while the sibling was behind the wall, crouching behind it, for they didn't dare to stop the adult.

???: WHY MUST YOU BE LIKE THIS?! WHY COULDN'T YOU BE LIKE YOUR SISTER?!

*SMACK*

???: WHY COULDN'T YOU BE LIKE YOUR SISTER?!

*SMACK*

???: WHY COULDN'T YOU BE SUCCESSFUL?!

*SMACK*

???: WHY WERE YOU EVEN BORN IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

The child looks up to the adult, raising the wooden utensil, before closing their eyes and waiting for the pain to end.

*SMACK*

Takei Kichirou POV

I abruptly woke up from the dream, immediately sitting up from my bed, and putting my hand on my face. I slowly calm my breathing from the intense nightmare I just had.

Kichirou: Fuck.

I slowly move my legs off the bed, leaning forward, with my hands on the edge of the bed and my head down to the floor, seeing my feet. I then turn my head to the left, to see the clock on the nightstand. The clock read it is 4:30 am.

Kichirou:*sigh* Welp, it's not like I'm going back to sleep anytime soon. I may as well get up.

I then got off my bed, showing that I was half naked, wearing only shorts, and slowly walked over to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then went out of the bathroom and started making breakfast, which was only tea in the morning.

After finishing the tea, I washed the cup, set it on the dry rack, and started to get ready. I wore a regular long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and running shoes since they were more comfortable.

After finishing getting ready for the day, I grabbed my watch, wallet, sunglasses, keys, and phone, then headed out of my apartment door. But before I exited the door, I got a message on my phone. I opened my phone for messages, seeing who texted me, however, I sighed with some irritation. 

Once I got out of my apartment door, shut it, and locked it, I heard something to my left and saw my neighbor coming out with a trash bag.

It was an elderly woman, named Akiko, that would usually be awake at this time to do her chores or other errands to do for the day. She then turned her head towards me to see me looking at her and gave me a happy expression.

Granny Neighbor: Oh good morning, Kichirou.

Kichirou: Good morning, Akiko.

Granny Neighbor: What are you doing waking up so early? You youngsters would usually still be asleep at this time.

Kichirou: I just felt like waking up at this time.

Granny Neighbor: Oh, you should still be asleep until 6 or 7. If you don't get enough sleep, you won't have the energy to go about your day.

Kichirou: It's fine. I always find a way to keep myself awake.

Granny Neighbor: Well, if you say so.

She then started to take the trash down to the bins, but I stopped her.

Kichirou: I could take this trash down for you.
