CHAPTER ONE
|were you worthy?|

───Y/N! WAKE UP!" your eyes snapped open meeting a familiar ceiling making you gain conscious.

"huh?" you blinked multiple times as you cleared your throat.

"geez, you're having a nightmare again!" your cousin, Mari as expected she was the one waking you up, from all the bad dreams you can only open your eyes when she's with you.

"i'm sorry... " you got up from your bed and rubbed your teary eyes, Mari just gave you a look of pity and pats your shoulder.

the day you got taken care by your auntie's family, the only cousin that made you feel an actual family member was Mari, throughout your life she was always there after your brother died.

your brother's death will always be another story for you to tell.

"don't apologize, have some water" drinking the glass of water Mari brought you, you finally get to breathe properly, glancing at your clock, you remembered you have big going on.

"... today's the auction," you hurried to rose from your bed, "thank you for waking me up!"

"yeah, yeah, breakfast's in the table" as the water was running, the cold water comforts you as you washed your face with your soap, "by the way!"

you hum in response as you puts toothpaste in your toothbrush.

"let's go to a bar later!" you gave her a look of suspension while brushing your teeth, Mari just laughs it out and say, "don't worry it's just in the club downtown!"

"fine!" you shouted as you gurgled out the excess water from your mouth.

──at the building,

as an 25 year old artist, you managed to be noticed by some professionals, like J. Shiwasa a big artist that took the time to teach you and helped you to reach this far while on your college days.

being an art profession was a good decision to make, you had all the time you want, you earn money easily by selling your canvass, the apartment you and Mari was living in was particularly the apartment you're currently owning, you let Mari live with you since her medic school was near there, and she would sometimes give a half of her allowance to the rent.

throughout the whole gallery, one only caught your attention, it was a scenery of ocean that had various types of colors, standing there taking the time to admire it's true hardwork and beauty, you learned the background of it.

while you were just there, someone interupted your thoughts by calling you, "Yoshizawa!" turning your head, you see your mentor, Shiwasa.

"Shiwasa-sama, it's been awhile" you head towards him and gave him an hug, Shiwasa weakly chuckles as he pats your back, "how have you been?"

"it was a nice trip from sapporo, how about you?" he let go of the hug as he smiled at you brightly, this man was more than just a mentor to you, he was basically like a grandfather to you.

"i've been doing great for the past days, any story for me to know?" while being mentored, Shiwasa wasn't just making you learn things most of the time, he would always tell you stories from his journey which was truly wholesome and interesting.

"hoho, are you single right now Yoshizawa?" asking a sudden strange question, you could only tilt your head in confusion, "are you?"

"i─" before you could reply, a man suddenly came rushing towards you and Shiwasa, as you watches at him, you were stunned by his handsome appearance.
