castle build with lies

Chapter 2 - meen POV.

A really nice, warm, comforting feeling. I love it. Why do I feel that way? I don't know. But his home is warm and more comfy then my own home. What I was even expecting to change after coming to Japan. My home was a three story mansion but its always cold even with all those heaters on. Also his room is two times smaller then mine but its more beautiful then my room.

"what are you thinking about so much?" Noah said with a bright smile.

"nothing just thinking that your room is beautiful " I answered him with a smile in return.

"thank you so much. But now come and have some snacks." He said with a tray in his hands.

"snacks? Right now?"

"Yea.. ma is making dinner. She said we should have few snacks while waiting"
"Okay then"

"You don't like this snacks? Im really sorry dad forgot to go to mar- " I calmly cut him off.

" Its not that I don't like it. It's just that my mom doesn't allow snacks after evening"  His is looking at me with questioning face

probably think what kind of family is he coming from. But it's true. My mom and dad doesn't allow snacks at all. To them it's gonna make me sick and make them lose money. I only had to eat healthy. For them even Looking at junk food is unhealthy.

Noah cuts in my mind again, "Then break the rule today. Have some of the chips, its good " he said while already stuffing his mouth with food.

The chips. It was good indeed. I cant even remember last time i had eaten chips. I was full already after a full bag of chips and drinks. I can smell something delicious already coming from the kitchen downstairs.

"Boys! Come down. The food is ready! Noah's mom shouted from the kitchen. As soon as Noah hears those words his eyes light up. At that moment i was thinking why was he so excited about having me come over. He was quite outgoing. He must have friends coming over all the time.

"Lets go and eat" Noah said while pulling my hand to stand and go down.

"Yes lets go, there's a really beautiful smell coming " I said with a good smile as possible.

Noah made me sit beside him at the dinner table. It's not a big table , small four person table. But it's filled with food and drinks. My eyes cant believe that miss hayashi made all that in few hours. I was still looking at the table with disbelief. Possibly miss hayashi saw that.
"Sit and start eating meen. I know its not much but eat up. " She said with a sweet smile. "Oh no mam, its enough and the smell is also good"

"Thank you meen now sit down and start eating before it gets cold"

Noah already sat down and called me to sit next to him. There's more than 5 dishes or something. And all of them smell and taste good. The first bite of the meat was enough to judge. It melted right after I put it in my mouth. The spices and everything is in the right place. It's been a while since I had tasty meat like this.

"How are the food meen?" Mrs. Hayashi asked with a soft smile.

"It's really good, it's been a while since I had meat" I replied.

"Why? Are your parents a little too health concious?" Mrs. Hayashi said jokingly.

I gave Mrs. Hayashi slight smile not knowing what to answer. Maybe she also understood my face expression and didn't talk about it again in the whole dinner. The whole dinner went smoothly. I got to spend some time with noah and have fun. Mrs. Hayashi made us hot chocolate while we were sitting near the fireplace. After spending a lot of time together finally the time to go home came. After having so much in a while, I wish I didn't have to go back to that house anymore. It's not even like someone will be waiting for me to come home with dinner and when I go back they will hug me asking where I was. My whole life my mom dad was more busy making money then looking after their kids. I was raised by a lot servent's not mom and dad.

"Meen-kun do you need noah and his dad to go and drop you off? " Mrs. Hayashi asked with a small smile.

"It's okay auntie. My home is not so far i can go alone. Y'all should rest now." I replied. My house is really not far but i would prefer someone going with me. But before I could even think about it my mom and dads warning about having friends over popped up.

"But its lat- " before noah could finish his sentence, I cut him off.

"Its fine noah. Its like 5 minute walk from here don't worry. We have school tomorrow and uncle have office y'all should rest well. " I said that with a smile and bowed to uncle and auntie saying goodbye.

As I said goodbye and walked a little far I saw a car approaching. As expected, mom and dad had people following me around as always. It seems like they care, but if they do why don't they pick me up from school.

I ignored the car as I know it will follow me until I get home and then disappear. I calmly continue to walk home without looking back.
