#3 - Your Familiar Smile

Hanabi Fukunada POV

He saw me crying, shivering while hugging both of my legs. I could barely even walk because of how scared I am. Instead of asking, "Are you okay?" The first thing he asked was— "What are you doing in there?" Clueless as if he didn't know someone was stuck in here. "I.."

He rolled his eyes as he turn his head, "Pfft.. are you planning to live there? did you get kicked or something?" He smirked.

Is he making fun of me?

"What? no I'm not! someone locked me inside and thankfully you're there." I said as I went after him. "And what were you doing in here? it didn't seem like you went there to get something." I locked my eyes to his since he's avoiding my eye contact.

I was relieved that he saved me and I don't want to assume that he opened the storage room on purpose to save me and I wanted to thank him for that. But when he put on his earphones as he walk faster ahead of me, trying to ignore me, I had no choice but get angry at his rudeness.

What the heck is his problem?!

"Yamato Yawazaki! are you serious? I'm trying to thank you here and you're ignoring me?" I kept bothering him as I keep tapping his shoulder. He slapped my hand away as he gave me one of those cold look from his eyes. "Tsk.. I hate annoying girls like you." He said. I was left standing, frozen as if I froze because of his coldness.

That ice strikes harder than before.

I had to walk before him since it's awkward after what he said to me. Why am I even neighbours with this guy? now whenever I go home I'll be seeing him in front.

Thinking about it irritates me... so much..

I can tell he's also annoyed since he sighed once he saw me behind me before going inside his apartment. Before he could roll his eyes, I rolled my eyes before him and slammed my door closed. "Tch.. He irritates me so much! he didn't even looked like he went there to get something, as soon as he open the door he left right away! but at least he could have asked if I was okay instead of rolling his eyes on me!" I shouted inside.

"Eh~ are you talking about your boyfriend?" Kei-niisan was on the couch pulling off his smug face while staring at me. "Boyfriend my ass! more like an enemy." I shouted.

"Okay, sis no need to shout."

"But he irritate me so—" I paused. "Why are you still here?" I suddenly asked. He looked hurt as if he didn't expect me to think that he will not live here.

"Don't expect me to leave, I'm going to live here from now on." He said.

"Why? did that man kicked you out?." I sarcastically said.

"Dude.. what's your problem? he has his own reasons." He said.

I was about to tear up but I wiped it as soon as I can when I realise I don't have time to whimper. "I'm going to bed." I went inside my room and hopped on my bed. I opened my manga book and read it but I was focused enough to know what's going on. There's too much going on my mind and it irritates me.

I was in the hallway on my way to my room until I saw Shiroyama-san waving her hand. "Fukunada-san! I heard you were stuck in the storage room, are you okay?" She asked. I was a bit suspicious of Shiroyama-san but I don't want to blame anyone without any proof. I mean, I didn't see anyone when I got out. And yesterday she asked me about my fear..

"Yes.. I'm alright."

"How did you end up being stuck in there? I bet you were scared."

Is she doing this on purpose?
