memories | yuzuru hanyu ff (on hold)

Recap + Chapter 46

My name is Natsuna Suzuki. After graduating senior high, I moved to Toronto, Canada. I had a few issues in Japan such as family, an ex-boyfriend and a few trust issues with people. My mom changed when we moved to Canada.

Or so I thought.

I thought that when I left my life in Japan, I could finally start fresh. A new life. But, boy, was I wrong. The moment I landed, I immediately saw my ex-boyfriend, Yuzuru Hanyu.

Yes, the upcoming star in figure skating.

At first, I didn't want to be associated with him. I would always push him away whenever I saw him, afraid that I would get hurt. But, coincidentally, I worked at the training centre where he was at. As his assistant.

How wonderful, right? It seems like the universe was on my side.

'That was sarcasm...'

Anyways, other than the fact that I was working for him, which wasn't so bad, I met a lot of great people too. A few weird ones like Mina and Noah, but more good people.

Then, unfortunately, me and my mom had to go to court after an 'incident'. She ended up losing and was deported from Canada. I felt big weight on my shoulder slide off as I could finally breathe, but it's a memory that would forever haunt me.

A memory when you had no more family.

Not until some people reminded me that family doesn't have to be by blood. And it made me realize how lucky I was to meet these people.

One of them was Yuzuru Hanyu, my ex.

Who would have taught that your ex would help you through the lowest point in your life. That they were going to be there for you when you needed him. But, of course, we were also just a memory now. He can love someone else while my dumbass expected something more.

Mina did say she liked him, so why was I interfering when I knew from the beginning that Yuzuru might like her back as well?

She had just confessed to him last night and me, being an over thinker, made me avoid both them at all cost.

As a distraction, I agreed on going to dinner with Noah. He did say it was just a 'hang out' and I hope it isn't anything more than that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noah was walking in front of me, leading me towards the place he wanted to have dinner in. We were having small talks but it was awkward most of the time.

'Man... we didn't really talk that much while we're at the office. This is a bit uh... odd'

We finally arrived and saw one fancy restaurant. Inside was chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, waiters walking around with orders while people sat gracefully on their seats.

'Fuck...'

Noah was about to enter as I pulled him away from the door.

"Woah there... You okay?" He asked.

"Y-Yeah, it's just..." I nervously fiddled with my fingers as I looked at the place.

He looked at the direction I was looking at and turned back at me.

"Do you not like it?" He asked in worry.

"No no, it's not that. It's beautiful but..." I trailed off.

"But?" He asked, urging me to continue.

"Isn't it... Isn't it too fancy of a place to 'hang out'?" I said emphasizing the words 'hang out'.
