Life of a simple comic book girl.

~🌸Cap.1~🌸

Usual Customer:"Fumi-chan, could you give me some advice?"
Fumi:"I'll be right there!" Ahhhh...
But why am I so unlucky!
Just today, when I finally got courageous!
He hired me, as an assistant, for a day and...
I didn't expect it!
~I snort and look up of him for a nanosecond.~
Who knows if...he will have understood something?!
~I look up at him again and...he turned around again, shaking his head.~

Nah...

I doubt it, I hid my crush so well! For almost 6 months now...
I don't see how...although, I told him I have to talk to him.
Since I found out that he was engaged, the first few weeks that
I started going to the comic shop with Emma... my heart was shattered...
But, I took courage anyway!
And I made up my mind, after I don't know how many weeks of reflection.

And here's how it ended up for me!
I think...my crush will remain a crush, I can't compete with Dafune his girlfriend.
Because they love each other madly and have been together
for a long time.
He would never leave it for me... She's beautiful, gorgeous, a golden girl!

But I'm not bad either... that is,
I made myself known and appreciated but...
She will always see me as a reliable customer and friend.
And I don't know, as long as it will be enough for me............
No!
...........................................................
I can't continue like this anymore!
.............................................................
Mrs.Fuji:"Fumi-chan, Fumi-chan...are you okay, dear?!"
...................................................
Fumi:"How?...
Oh....
Mrs.Fuji, sorry, I was lost in thought...how long have I been like this?!"

Mrs.Fuji:"I'd say for...a
good 5 minutes, I was getting worried, are you okay?
It's not like you to be like this, you're always full of energy!
Has something happened?"
~Mrs.Fuji asks with a motherly attitude.~
Fumi:"I...you're right...
I feel strange today, I'm not myself...
I started the day with some good intentions but...I feel as if the whole world is angry with me..."
~I put my hands on my face in frustration.~

Mrs.Fuji:"Don't worry, it can happen to anyone.
But I'll tell you this, whatever it is, you'll figure it out.
Anyway, I have to go now, dear.
I found the comic that my nephew wants, thanks for the help.
See you soon."
~She smiles and takes his leave. Being alone with myself and my thoughts.~

~Iwan had seen the whole scene and was looking at me.~
I didn't understand if he was studying me or was really worried...
The only thing I know is....
I have to go to the bathroom to freshen up!
Yes, I couldn't bear that inquiring look any longer.
~In fact, he followed me with his gaze the entire time until I disappeared into the bathroom while a customer came in to be served.~

~When closing time came, I was still locked in the bathroom, sitting on the floor with my knees to the chest demoralized.~
~I hear a gentle knock on the door.~
Iwan:"Fumi-chan it's me, are you okay?
It's almost closing time and...
I haven't seen you come out again...
I'm slightly worried and wanted to...make sure everything was okay..."
~He leans against the door with his back.~

Slightly worried...
Are you joking?
Real?
I believe that today wasn't just a day...it was destiny!
It makes me want to cry...a lot
I'm sad and frustrated.
Iwan:"Fumi-chan, hey...
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Are you OK?
Hey..."
Fumi: Enough!
I can't stand this situation anymore!
Neither him nor this stupid comic shop!
Tonight, I'll walk out that door and never come back!
.............................................................
Total indifference and coldness!
Go Fumiko!
"It's okay Iwan-san...
I'm going out."
Iwan:"I'm relieved...
I'll wait for you there then."
~He moves away from the door while I, I'll give myself a tidy up.~
