Wish You Were Here...

Chapter 23: Haru Hashi

Sometimes, it's hard to do it when your internet went down too low that you ran out of talktime. Or worse, phone went loco & ended up stuck at the bootloader forever. -_-

But anyways, enjoy~

Hiro's POV:

Thoughts of her lingering in my mind throughout the walk. He didn't complained nor started a conversation, neither do I. At least, there's nothing gone wrong and still a good sign. Yet.

The man walking behind me brought chaos to our family at the past and at the same time he's my brother. He's a brother and an ass all at once. He could give his affection and also give his hatred at the same time too. What past? The past that none could even take the darkest pit of nightmare in their own life. Throwback? I wouldn't do that if I were you. Take that as a no.

"Hiro, you okay?" thought caught off when he spoke in monotone.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered, abruptly stopped in the track. He also followed, giving a questioned look.
"We're here," my eyes shifted from him to my home, (Y/n)'s old home next to mine, then back to him.

The sound of the clacking shoes on the pavement echoed as he walked towards the front door. After ringing the doorbell, we heard a woman's loud voice shouting from the kitchen. Oka-san must've be in the kitchen, preparing our meal. As the door opened, a short, surprised gasps came from oka-san. She trembled in mixed emotions as she scan the man behind me.

"Haru? What on Earth are you doing here?" she said, containing herself from shouting in anger.

"I bring no harm or chaos this time, oka-san. I came here for your dearest, youngest brother's request as you can see." he explained as oka-san crossed her arms, sending glares at me. I sighed silently, taking a steady pace of breath.

"Hiro-"

"I'll explain the whole thing it later, oka-san. Right now, I want to discuss with Haru for a bit." I caressed one of oka-san's shoulder to calm her down, but she seemed too tense to stare the man in front of us.

"No! Neither of you can enter this house until this monstrous devil is out from my sight!" Yeah, I regret brought him back here but-

"But you told me to be back here before the dark falls,"

"But not with this man, young man. Get inside here and you get the hell off my property!" Oka-san pointed Haru with a fierce glare.

"Actually, its-"

"I can change the name of the owner of this house anytime I want!"

"Oka-san, the property of this house is literally mine and you got no right to change."

Silence fell. Tense in the air still could be felt by everyone around here. Haru shuffled from time to time and kicked some small pebbles on the porch. I sighed in frustration and looked at Oka-san directly, completely ignored Haru.

"Oka-san, if there's anything I could get (Y/n) back here as soon as possible then it's Haru's specialty," I paused.

"I know this person did something, truly worst than any others could do but if it means to get her back, I will do it whatever it takes." this made Haru glanced at me with interest.

Something tells me that this is not going to end well.

Your POV:

Something doesn't feel right here. My heart felt like someone's about to rip it out instantly from my body mercilessly. Something bad is bound to happen soon. Whether I like it or not, I have to face the music. Hiro isn't here to protect me anymore and luckily Kaoru and his doppelganger is away from me.
