Loud noises woke you up the next morning. You peeked out and saw construction crews on the abandoned apartment. A familiar figure was also present there talking to someone maybe the engineer of the project.




You did your morning routine and before heading to school, you dropped by to your soon to be neighbor.


"Mr. Akashi. Good morning." You smiled and waved at him.

"Ms. L/n? Good morning. What are you doing here?" Sanzu asked looking quite surprised he saw you there.

"I'm renting a room on the apartment complex just beside here."

"Oh, what a coincidence. Who could have thought that my new house will be built beside your place."


"Right? Haha. Well then Mr. Akashi. I'll be going."  But before you could walk away, he grabbed your wrist.

"Can i give you a ride?" He let go of your wrist the moment you flinched. "I'm sorry."

"No it's okay Mr.Akashi. It's just a 20 mins of walk anyway."

"Then can i just walk you to your school?" His eyes smiled.


It's hard to decline his request for the second time because you don't want to be rude and cold. He is the father of your student and soon to be neighbors anyway.


"Sure."


The two of you walking side by side. From time to time you sneak glance at him to see his expression and you are curious why he wears a mask always. Is he a germaphobe?

Your eyes met.

"Is there something wrong Ms.?" He asked worriedly

"N-no. Sorry. I may sound rude but why do you always wear a mask?"

He suddenly stopped walking and faced you. "Curious?" He removed his mask and there you saw a scar on both the corner of his lips. Instead of feeling disgusted, you felt attracted that your hand moved on its own and traced his scar.

"Pretty..." you murmured and his eyes widened. After snapping back to reality, you pulled back your hand and clasped it behind you out of embarrassment. "I'm sorry."



For god's sake, you don't know how happy he was when you touched him. The walk to school went silent after that because you felt awkward. Meanwhile Sanzu was super exhilarated inside. He was just good at acting.

-----

3 consecutive gunshots. Muffled voices echoing inside the dark basement. The stench of blood is mixed with the humid air.

2 person were tied on a chair. Their face swollen from too much beating. The shot a while ago was just aimed at the wall and they were trembling from fear the other one pissed herself.

"Did none of you both taught your daughter how to socialize with people? " Sanzu pointed the gun on the forehead of the man. The woman squirmed from her seat trying to say something and so he removed the gag.

"We're sorry Boss. Pleaseeee don't kill us. We will teach Yuna well. Pleaseeee."

"Shut up."

A completely silence. Sanzu pulled the trigger.BANG! Pointed the gun to the woman next." You're not seeing your daughter anymore." Second BANG. The forehead shot killed the two person instantly.


Yuna will continue to be my daughter until i get my angel.
