Back to December || Izana Kurokawa

Chapter Twelve

When (y/n) entered her apartment, she found Kakucho sitting on the sofa and Izana standing near the window. Both seem to be thinking deeply.

"I'm home," (y/n) greeted, which caught the attention of the two. (Y/n) looked raised her brow as she looked at Izana. The latter also raised his brow when he noticed (y/n)'s death glare.

"Do you know that Mikey to go here because he saw your figure near the window?" (y/n) asked as she hastily walked towards Izana. Of course, Izana knew that. He was just looking outside through the window to check if (y/n) was already there, and he exactly saw her arrive with Mikey. So, he decided to hide behind the curtains and watch them. He knew that Mikey could see him, but he purposely didn't leave his place.

"Why did you do that? I thought you dislike your family seeing you...injured?"

The two guys knew that (y/n) was displeased with Izana's action because of her voice tone. She couldn't understand what Izana was thinking. (Y/n) became annoyed when she noticed Izana was just wearing his playful smirk instead of answering her.

"Then, let him see me,. It's not like I'll die because of it," Izana scoffed. (Y/n) hit his arm in annoyance. Izana is surely testing her patience right now.

Izana lowered himself so that he'll be on the same level with (y/n) and held her chin. (Y/n) tried to move her head in attempt to break free her chin from Izana's clutch. But, Izana slightly force her chin to stay in place. (Y/n) swore that she could hear her crazy heart beat as she mer Izana's purple orbs.

"After all, I'm your...your," Izana smirked when he noticed the pink tint on her cheeks. Izana stood up straight again without finishing his sentence; leaving (y/n) hanging. He loves to tease (y/n), especially when she's easy to annoy.

Kakucho just shook his head as he watched the two.

(Y/n) was too stunned to speak. However, she can feel her cheeks heating up. The cogs in her brain aren't functioning well because of the lad's actions. She can't think of a proper retort to Izana.

"Have you eaten your dinner yet?"

Kakucho asked (y/n), which made her look in his way. Kakucho inwardly smiled because of her awkward actions. Obviously, Izana made her flustered.

"Huh? Ah? Y-ye ... No," (y/n) clumsily replied to Kakucho. She shot a death glare at Izana, who is now beside Kakucho. Izana is trying so hard not to laugh at (y/n).

To save herself from further embarrassment, (Y/n) rushed to the kitchen. She couldn't figure out what Izana had eaten and why his actions were weird. And what more is that she can't understand why she was thrilled and flustered at the same time.

As (y/n) searched for food, she momentarily forgot her irritation with Izana. But, her annoyance also returned when she started to reheat his food in the microwave. (Y/n) remembered his silly smile earlier as she ranted.

"Ahh shit!," (y/n) groaned as she ruffled her hair in irritations.

"Frustrated?"

(Y/n)'s eyes turned bloodshot when she heard Izana's cocky voice.

"Yeah! and that's because of you," (y/n) shot back as she looked him. There, she saw Izana in his white shirt and gray sweat pants. His hair is disheveled, unlike earlier.

"It seems like he took a shower," (y/n) nonchalantly thought. But, her trail of thoughts were halted when he realized that Izama took a bath despite having a punctured wound.

"Y-you took a shower? Let me remind you that—-"

"I didn't take a shower! What do you think me for? A fool who takes a bath with a punctured wound!?" Izana asked as he arched his brows. He feels like (y/n) is belittling him. And, that made him agitated.
