Forever and a Day - A K-Project Fan Fiction

She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time

My eyes cocked towards the door. There wasn’t a sound in the room rather than the song I was playing in my iPod booming out the earphones. Sylvette was fast asleep by the couch. Her breathing suddenly became heavier at the moment; I turned off my iPod and approached her. Was Izumo even sure about what he just told me yesterday? Was it even normal? She woke up from her sleep and looked at me.

“Sylvette, are you… okay?”

I felt like the word ‘okay’ didn’t wanna get out my throat and make sure that this girl is alright. Her smile was hoarse and fake. My fingers froze as I looked towards the girl in front of me. Her skin tone was already turning pale.

“I’ll call your uncle and tell him to come back”

“No. He’s very busy, we can go there ourselves”

She again lay down on the couch. I took my phone out and dialed Izumo’s number which was in speed dial. After a couple of rings he finally picked up. I panted as I tried to speak the words out. I tried to let those three words roll out my tongue.

“Hana, what’s wrong?”

“Get back now”

I finally picked up all the courage to let out the words. Sylvette then let out a dry cough.

“Why? The bar’s really busy now”

“You just need to, your niece. Sylvette’s turning pale and she’s been coughing for an hour”

“Okay, I’ll let Yata pick her up and take her to the bar, okay? She’ll be okay, she’s cured now”

Sylvette then stood up and looked at me. Her eyes were heavy. She suddenly fell in my arms. I looked at her face but I could still feel her chest moving and feel her breathing.

“Are you sure about that Izumo? Kusanagi Sylvette just fainted, Izumo. Who are you gonna take care of? Your niece or your bar”

With those words, I hung up. I laid her on the bed and put my hand on her forehead. She was really hot. I grabbed the ice-water from the fridge and poured it in a small tub. Where the heck is Izumo at a time like this? Isn’t there something more important rather than his bar? I grabbed a towel and soaked it in the water before putting it on top of Sylvette’s forehead.

(Fifteen minutes later)

Someone suddenly pounded on the door making me jolt back in surprise when I woke up. I stood up from my position on the floor and approached the door. Izumo rushed towards Sylvette and looked at her.

“Her temperature’s really high, 40 degrees I think. It’s just a fever”

“You made me worry you know that”

He kissed her forehead before looking at me while I had my arms crossed.

“Why are you suddenly so concern about my nine year old niece?”

“You must’ve forgotten about my past. She’s lucky she has a family that pays attention to everyone rather than just the talented one. While I was nine, one of my friends left me, remember?”

He laughed as I sat down on the bed where Sylvette was fast asleep. I looked at her; her skin tone was back to normal. I looked back at Izumo who was walking closer every second. When he got near me, he tucked a lose strand of hair behind my air before leaning in closer. He soon crashed his lips on mine. He put his hands around my waist pulling me closer, that action made me get up on my feet. I put my hand in his hair ruffling it with my fingers. The warmth of his lips prevented me from pulling away. He broke the kiss and looked at me before pushing me against the wall. I looked straight at him. He grabbed my hand and put it against his chest, his heart was beating like mad. His hand was on top of mine. I gave him a concern look before he could look back down at the ground.
