"It's been a while since we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you?" Chifuyu said as he sweetly smiled at me.
I was stunned by his smile.
"I'm fine. Yeah, it's been a while." I answered and slowly smiled.
Chifuyu Matsuno. He was my friend when we were in college. We were both close to each other back then. But we parted ways when he decided to continue his studies in other place. Starting that day, we never talked to each other. We didn't have contact, and I didn't hear any news about him.
"Are you on shopping? Sorry if I am bothering you."
I shook my head.
"No, actually we'll go home later."
He nodded. I can't get away with his smile. Nothing changed; he is still handsome. I no longer wonder why I had a crush on him back then.
Our eyes meet. I don't know, but I suddenly felt something in my stomach the way he stared at me.
I was stunned when someone bumped on me, causing the milk shake to fall on my dress.
"I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry! Sorry! " A woman shouted apologitically and ran away.
I winced as I looked at my soiled clothes. The milkshake that the woman threw at me still stuck to my arm.
Fuck, I didn't even bring a handkerchief to wipe this.
"Y/N! Are you okay? Here. I have a handkerchief. You can use it." I looked at the handkerchief that reached out to me.
"Thank you." I accepted it and wiped my dress. I'll just buy a new dress later. I'm not comfortable wearing this sticky feeling.
"I'll just wash it before I give it back to you." I told him.
"No it's fine. It's yours now. I still have a lot like that. "
I smiled and nodded.
"Thank you."
"You still have dirt here." He pointed at my arm. I looked at it and wiped.
"No, not there. Let me help you." He took out another handkerchief, and to my surprise, he suddenly touched my hand and wiped the dirt he saw.
He looked up at me. He immediately let go of my hand when he saw my shocked reaction.
"I-i'm sorry. I should've asked your permission first before I touched you." He apologized as he lowered his head.
I waved my both hands in denial.
"N-no! It's fine. You don't have to apologize."
"Mommy Y/N!" We looked at Ada, who was running while hugging the toy in her arms.
I looked at the woman following her. My forehead frowned when Senju looked at me badly.
"Mommy? Who is this ugly guy?" Ada asked with her innocent reaction.
My eyes widened as I looked at Chifuyu, who was smiling and looking at Ada.
"Ada! Don't call him like that." I scolded.
"Mommy, I don't like him. He looks like Ken from Barbie. Ugly-." I quickly covered her mouth. She couldn't continue what she was going to say.
I looked at Chifuyu and smiled with embarrassment.
"Is she your daughter?" He asked.
I was about to say "No" when Ada forcefully pulled my hand.
"Yes! Don't flirt with my mom! Mommy Senju will punch you!"
What on earth did she say?
Chifuyu looked at me seriously.
