Sanctuary Is What She Wants [NAKAHARA CHUUYA]

Chapter 12

"First Name-chan."

Last Name was seated on her bed when she was interrupted with someone calling at her.

"Mori-san, is something wrong?" She faced the direction of the said man.

"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that?" Mori stated seeing her bandaged left arm.

"I'm fine. Getting injuries while in missions are normal, I suppose. This will heal soon." She assured.

After arriving back in the Port Mafia, Last Name was immediately given treatment. It was painful at first but now that she had taken a rest overnight she had regained health and can now bear the pain better.

"Is that so."

"I would like to go outside." Last Name stood from her bed.

"Why so? I can't let you go in that state." Mori retorted.

"I'll be fine. I just want to have a breath of fresh air rather than this straining atmosphere inside."

Mori didn't bother rejecting her idea and then left her room. Last Name was left with her thoughts.

"Yesterday...what he said..." She trailed off, holding on to her chest, feeling all bubbly inside matched with the rapid beating of her heart.

"I wonder if it's true." She sulked once again on her bed. Covering her face with the pillow as her flustered expression washed over her face.

So good to be true, she didn't believe what he had said. After all, it might be all due to his pent up aggravation with what has happened. Perhaps he was just driven by his emotions that he spoke of matters he does not intend at all, nor was it in accordance to what he really wanted to say.

She doesn't know if believing on his words back then will be good for her or it will just bring another confusion to the feelings that she had finally come to grasp and understood.

NAKAHARA CHUUYA

The sound of shoes walking along the corridors resonated the atmosphere. Chuuya just left his office and mindlessly walking around the headquarters.

He stopped from his steps upon seeing a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Chuuya..."

"Ane-san." He greeted the co-executive.

"Have you already reported your mission yesterday?" Kouyou asked.

"I already did. How about you?"

"I am just on my way to speak to the boss. I just arrived earlier this morning after leaving Akita."

"That far? Alright. I'll see you later, Ane-san."

Kouyou nodded then both of them parted ways. Once more, Chuuya walked around the place but eventually decided to have his lunch seeing it was already mid afternoon.

"Chuuya..."

Another call was heard from the opposite direction from the male, but he became terrified with who is approaching him.

"Last Name."

Flashes of the events yesterday came into his mind. His head focusing on that one event that he unintentionally made over his frustration.

"Where are you going?" Last Name just acted like nothing has happened. No sense of awkwardness from her actions.

"Lunch. Wanna come?" Chuuya behind his words he's all jittery inside but he masked it with his stoic face.
