Her eyes follow the words, carefully reading it.
Koi No Yokan.

it's a slow shift.
it's only been just ten minutes but it feels like two hours have passed by since emi started her shift at a convenience store.
it doesn't help that it's a hot afternoon as well.
she sighs as she stares at the old air conditioner right beside her on the wall, willing it to work a bit better with her eyes.
if only she had that kind of power.
yet another customer comes up to the counter with their purchase.
two cans of soda and some gum.
she quickly rings him up and sends him away with the monotone lines she has repeated a thousand times already.
"thank you. come again"
she doesn't even bother to smile now.
when the last customer is gone, she slams her behind on a seat and pulls out a hand fan.
in total, she gets about five minutes of peace and quiet before the bell above the door rings again, signaling a customer just walked in.
"welcome to-" she starts to say but he just walks past her, like he hadn't heard her.
"asshole" she mutters under her breath.
she doesn't sit anymore. it's against store policy to sit while people are in the store and she'd rather avoid getting an earful when her boss watches the cctv tapes back.
she does, however, busy herself by picking at her ruined gel nail polish. she's not surprised, with all the heavy lifting she does around the store, of course, her nail polish would be ruined.
she's done with her index finger when the guy finally comes to the register.
they lock eyes in a second and emi registers two things.
one, if the earphones plugged into his ears are anything to go by, he truly hadn't heard her greeting back then. now she feels sorry for cursing at him.
two, he is absolutely breathtaking. with a face that looks like it was sculpted personally by the likes of donatello and deep blue eyes as captivating as the night sea, it's a wonder how she finds her voice at all.
"...would this be all?" she shyly mutters as she looks down at his items, feeling timid under his scrutiny.
he doesn't answer her and instead just looks on at her.
his eyes are a bit wide, like he had just seen a ghost. she almost looks behind her just to be sure.
then she arches an eyebrow and still he doesn't talk.
