Business slowed after lunch and Oikawa was left in charge of the store for the duration of a bank run. He relaxed back in his seat behind the desk and rubbed at his knee before propping up his math book to study.

The door chimed before he got too lost in the jumble of equations. He glanced up to greet the customer, but they didn't bat an eye at him before disappearing into the backroom.

Oikawa jumped up, hurrying after them. "Excuse me, you can't come back here."

"I can come back here all I want. Who do you think you are?" The man turned, hands on his hips, but the haughty attitude faltered when he saw Oikawa. "What are you doing here?"

"I work here. What's your excuse?"

Sugawara smiled smugly. "You're the new employee? Didn't my dad tell you that I would be in and out of the store?"

"You're Mr. Sugawara's son? He never told me a name."

"Well, where is he? I need to talk to him."

"Bank run. He should be back soon. I need to get back to the front."

"Yeah, you shouldn't leave it very long."

Oikawa started back, but stopped. "One more thing-."

"If it's about the concert, don't bother. I'd rather leave you wondering."
