Back to December || Izana Kurokawa

Chapter Twenty

"Good morning, sunshine," Izana greeted the newly awakened (y/n). He hadn't moved an inch since when he realized their sleeping position. Izana also took most of his time to memorize every feature of (y/n)'s brows. From her long lashes to her cute nose and her pinkish lips. Izana memorized it all.

(Y/n) froze when she realized how close their faces were. Sure, she's used to sleeping beside Izana because they used to sleep beside each other when they were younger. They won't even mind if their faces are close to each other. For their younger self, it is already a normal thing between them. But, it is already different in today's time. They are already adults. Hence, they became more conscious of their actions around each other.

"Did you have fun last night?" Izana asked. (Y/n) could only nod because she was conscious of her morning breath. "What time did you go home last night?" Izana asked again. This time, (y/n) raised her index and middle finger.

"Two A.M.?"

(Y/n) nodded. Izana chuckled at the way how (y/n) responded.

"(Y/n), please don't be conscious. I am not a judgemental person. I don't care about your morning breath or your flaws. I love the way you are," Izana smiled at her.

(Y/n) became flustered at the sudden compliment Izana. Also, saying 'I love you' became a usual habit of Izana. Izana became bolder when professing his love for (y/n). And, (y/n) notices that. However, she still cannot say she can reciprocate Izana's love. (Y/n) is still afraid to gamble for love. She's anxious that she might lose if she gambled with love.

(Y/n) watch Izana shift his position. Now, he's already sitting on the bed while (y/n) is still laying down, too lazy to get up.

"Get up now, (y/n). We wouldn't want to travel under the sun's heat," Izana said. The lady furrowed her brows in confusion.

"Where are we going?" (y/n) inquired.

"Secret,"

(Y/n) pouted at Izana's answer.

"Now, go to the bathroom and take a bath. Hurry up!" Izana hurried (y/n). The latter had no choice but to get up and head to the bathroom (which is outside of y/n's room). But, before she could even go out, Izana spoke again.

"(Y/n), were you drunk last night?" Izana asked. (Y/n) slowly turned at Izana and smiled cheekily at him.

"A little?" (y/n) snickered before dashing out of her bedroom. Izana could only brush his face with his palms.

"There. It really suits you," Izana said when he finished fixing (y/n)'s helmet. Izana smiled proudly at himself because the helmet he bought for (y/n) suits her.

"Thanks," (y/n) blushed at the sweet gesture of the male.

Izana first helped y/n get on his motorbike before he got on. "Hold me onto me tightly," Izana reminded the girl before he increased the speed of his motorbike.
