Love Is Blind

5 - Living Together.

He has the silky black hair and green eyes. His dressing style looks the same.

But this can't be him, right?

"I'm so sorry. The only encounter I've had with you was when you lent me your coat. "

The guy seemed unhappy with her response before releasing her from the pin.

"Why did he seem unhappy? Do I know him? " Himari thought to herself.

The guy sighed laboriously and said. "I'm sorry. I thought you were someone I knew. "

He moved back and said. "My name is Jurou Murine. And I'm your roommate and the landlord. "

"Em, Murine san, you should stop doing that. I'm dating someone, you know. "

Jurou's eyes turned surly as he heard that statement.

Himari indeed has a boyfriend. Yes,  a boyfriend!

Shuji Yogi, Himari's "boyfriend". Whenever Himari was being bullied by Rin, he would magically appear like "a knight in shining armor" and save her from the evil clasps of Rin.

Sometime after they met, Shuji asked her out and they became a couple.

Jurou knew this since he asked for a background check but he also knows the reason behind it.

Shuji has a disgusting fetish of enchanting helpless girls by saving them from their problems, then, once he has laid with them a few times, he would dump them like trash.

That's why Jurou doesn't like Shuji. Especially since he has his girl wrapped around his finger.

Unacceptable!!

After a brief period of silence,
"Oh, you're the landlord. The rent is so cheap."

He snaps out of his daze, "Yeah,  of course.  Once I saw it was a university student who was moving in, I reduced the price."

Himari looks at Jurou with distrust.  "I hope this isn't a scam. "

Jurou said in a hushed tone. "Well, I did buy the whole house for you. So the least you can do is pay a chicken change of 500 yen. "

"What did you say? I didn't quite hear you. "

"I said it's not a scam and you should relax." Jurou lied to Himari.

"I don't want her to think I'm a pervert." Jurou thought to himself.

"Alright,  let me show you around the house," Jurou said as he took Himari's suitcase.

"Oh please don't worry about that. I'll take care of it." She takes the suitcase from Jurou.

"Just consider it an apology for what I did earlier. " Jurou takes the suitcase once more and progresses forward.

Jurou took Himari to the door of her room. "Here's your room. That's the bathroom over there. It's only one so we have to share it. Is that okay with you? "

"Yeah, I'm cool with that."

"Great,  here's your key. My room is upstairs. If you need anything, tell me."

"Yeah, I will."

Jurou smiled softly and then went upstairs.

"Murine san is strange.  He's usually cold at school."

She unlocked her door and then jumped on her bed.

"My first apartment." She giggled softly and then said. "That will reduce the rent for mom and dad. I get a part-time job to support them."

And just like that, Himari started living with the kind but suspicious Jurou.

One afternoon after courses, Himari was so tired from attending to Rin all day.

"Damn, I'm so exhausted. I'm going to have a nice soak today."

Himari unlocked the door without checking the sign. When she entered, she could hear the sound of the shower.

"Huh?" She opened her eyes and then shouted. "HUH? MURINE SAN?! "

It turns out that Jurou was in the shower before she came in.

Himari stood there in a haze at the sight of Jurou. His wet black hair was covered with green eyes, his body was decorated with rock-hard and a magnificent Apollo belt.

However, hot steam was concealing the image of "that"  place.

Tch! That damn steam.

After a while, Jurou said indifferently. "Um Miss Fujioka, I didn't know you were a pervert."

Instantly, Himari snapped out of her trance. "I'm not a pervert. You didn't put the sign on the door."

"I did."

"Huh? Really? I'm sorry I didn't check.  I'll be leaving."

As she was leaving, she slipped on water and fell. She braced herself expecting to reach the floor.

After a while, she didn't reach the floor.

What!? No floor?

She opened her eyes to see Jurou holding her softly in his arms looking worried.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine," Himari said with her cheeks flushed.

"Gosh, you're clumsy." Jurou carried her.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Himari spoke out in a fret.

"I'm just taking you outside. Jeez."

"Oh." Himari calmed down a bit.

Jurou dropped her outside the door and then walked back in. Himari tried to stop her cheeks from burning.

"Aww, that scene was so improper. I have to calm down. Oh, my cheeks are burning."

Meanwhile, Jurou stood at the back of the door and smiled softly.

"Dummy."
