CHAPTER ONE: Past and Present
Months after, I still can't believe this is happening. The lights open and I see a woman walk up to me, then pick me up gently in her arms. "Aww, are you awake now Y/N sweetie? Hold on, let me prepare some formula for you." She kissed my forehead and swiftly left to presumably prepare bottled milk for me.
Yes, my name is now (Y/N) (L/N). In my previous life, I was a university student engaged to Gorou Amamiya and planning to be wedded with him until a car accident ended my life. That's only the gist about my past but never did I ever expect that reincarnation exists. For one, I always thought it only presented itself in fictional media but here I am now once again as a small infant being cared by two a popular actor couple.
My mother, (M/N) (L/N), was featured in some movies my old family enjoyed watching and I was instantly able to recognize her the moment I locked eyes at her. She's a lot more prettier upclose so I do understand why she's famous from not just her acting. Being the child of celerities already gives easy access to looks, fame and connections since birth after all. After I finished drinking the milk, a man woks into the room with a widw smile. He is (F/N) (L/N), my father.
"Well love, ready to leave? We still need to practice our lines for the upcoming horror movie we're featured in." My dad told hee, before smiling in my direction and gently rubbing my head. "If you were old enough, maybe you can watch me and your mom's plays! Oh, I'd love to see you be a little actress once you're older."
My mother smiled excitedly, "That'd be really sweet to imagine, a family of genius actors." They continued on speaking to each orher while my mom held me, until the babysitter for the day arrive to which they left. I was now brought to the living room with toys in front of me, as the babysitter sits beside me eagerly to play with me.
"Well, (Y/N)? What do you want to play today?" She asked me cheerfully. Using baby language, or whatever gibberish my lips let out, I grabbed a random teddy bear and held it close. She got another stuffed animal and began playing with me for a bit before getting up to run some wrrands for the house, she's also the housekeeper while my parents are away.
Now that I was alone, I buried my face in the teddy bear. It looked brand new and was incredibly soft, reminding me of the childhood toys my old family would work hard to provide for me. Don't get me wrong, my new life seems really interesting. Being the newborn daughter of famous celebrities, living in bustling Tokyo city and having people pamper me may seem fun but it's not when I still have a lot of concerns about this sudden reincarnation.
To start off, I recently discovered 6 years have passed since my death aged 25. What has happened within those years? Is my family still alright? Have they been doing okay with me? How about my studies, the friends and memories from my past life that I still have drilled in my brain? Most importantly, Gorou... who was weeping in front of me as I bidded to him before fading away. The same Gorou who was head over heels for me, the one I was planning to marry and even start a family with him. Was he able to be a gynecologist like how he alwys wanted to be? If I never died, maybe he and I would've had a bigger house by now with lovely children. I'm still struggling to accept that everything I worked so hard in my past life, the people and bonds I had.. I'll never have them again. How could I?
Tears welt my own eyes, I always found my situation weird but I still feel incredibly homesick. I lost so much and was thrusted into a new world where literally nothing makes sense. Everyone around me now seems nice, however I just can't accept any of this. Not just yet. My mental breakdown turned into loud infant sobs and I grew embarrassed, of course that would happen. I forgot for a second that I'm now a baby, with eyes around me 24/7.
My babysitter heard distressed noises and rushed to my aid, lifting my body up to gently rock me in her arms while humming a soft tune. I stopped crying when I heard the tune, this song was too familiar... no, it was the same song I remember singing in my past life. I shortly drifted off though due to how exhausted my body was.
Groggily, I woke up since I needed to use the bathroom. Gorou was gone, he wasn't sleeping beside me and it make me worry that he was still awake studying. I left the room, quickly did my business and unsurprisingly found him still sitting by the kitchen table with a handful of books stacked up. A small lamp was lit, providing sufficient lighting to properly read.
"Why are you still awake!? We agreed you'd sleep earlier because your exams ended." I asked worriedly, rushing over to him and gently placing a hand on his shoulder. He was so absorbed in his notes that my touch must've shocked him since I felt him flinch.
"Honey, um.." He looked up awkwardly, adjusting his glasses as he looked aside. "I just wanted to.. reread this part since I didn't understand what I read earlier. That's all."I blankly stared at him. "Gorou, we've been over this. How can you be a doctor if you can't take care of your own sleep schedule? God damn." I moved the books away and squeezed his hand, "Please rest, you can't do well if your own health isn't satisfactory."
He sighed and stood up. "I can't resist you, I swear. I think I love you too much, dear."I blushed from that and grinned a bit. "Likewise, honey. But how could I not though?" I kissed his cheek and went back inside the room, with him following me along. I laid back in bed and he fell to the opposite side. Moving closer, I gently hold him in my arms. He says he prefers being the big spoon yet constantly lets me hold him like this. My fingers brush through his hair, humming a sweet song to hopefully soothe him enough to doze off. Some time later, his chest was breathing and he seemed content as he slept. Smiling, I kissed his forehead and slept as well.
My eyes shot open, looking around for Gorou but only growing disappointed when I was still in the same living room in my current life. I was in my crib with a warm, fluffy blanket around me. I wish I could grow older already, so I have more stuff to do aside from sleeping, eating or playing. Maybe one day if I'm old enough in this life, I can find my family and Gorou. Even if they don't recognize me, I just need to see them one last time. But I live in Tokyo currently, and the small countryside is too far away.
My family, friends... Gorou Amamiya, I swear. One day, I will find you both and see you one last time. Please wait for me, I'll do my best to come back again to you all.
