LENKA'S POV:

Shit...the bleeding isn't stopping...

I rested my head against the wall holding unto a stranger...a girl. Ya know I couldn't just leave her *sigh* so frustrating.

I still have to find him, he must be waiting for me, but, can't believe I'm stuck in here. This persons are really loyal to kill me.

*BANG!*

"Ugh!" the saw me. I carried the girl and ran down the building or you can say I jumped off. It would be really troublesome to run down the stairs. Hmm

I landed on the roof of the car, and started running towards down an alley.

It's really tiring, carrying a person and running at the same time...Ugh!

Only if it was him and not this girl...hmph...

Don't worry, I'll come find you no matter what. Kioko.

(Yasahiro Kioko)

Kioko's POV:

*Sigh*...this thing really frustrates me.

"How could you not finish it till now!?" He yelled.

I was on the floor as he had pushed me for no any reason, you know...he always finds a reason to pick on me. It's really annoying, I just feel like to smack his face. But unfortunately I can't cause he's the son of the owner of the shop I work. I mean, I don't have a job if I lost this job it would be the 6 time I lost a job.

There is nothing but to listen to his yelling right now.

"The stuffs are delicate, if I take it in hurry it may break" I said.

Obviously...

"Shut up. You're just lazy to put the stuffs fast and finish the work" he rolled his eyes.

Seriously...

I clenched my fist and thought about to punch him but...

"Shou!" Ryu called him.

He turned around and went to her.

What a dog. I rolled my eyes and got up.

I still had to move the things so I continued my work. Actually, it's not just him... everybody picks on me if they ever get the chance. I had even got bullied in my school life...that's why it really doesn't bother me much.

*Sigh*...

I wish there was someone who could be nice to me...

"Kioko!" someone called my name, I turned around to see who it was...

Ugh...not again.

He waved at me with a smile walking towards me. I don't want to talk with him so I just ignored and started walking fast.

still I had the stuffs in my hand so I couldn't just dash off.

"Wait!, Kioko!" he started running towards me. I just pretended I didn't heard him. Hmph.

"Kioko wait just a minute!...my love!" he yelled-

...

did he just call me my love...-

I stopped.

making a gloomy face I turned around. I crouched down to place the stuffs on the floor for sometime.

He flinched.

I cracked my knuckles and jumped at him.

"you dog!" I yelled.

"ahh! w-wait I'm sorry!!"

and without hesitation I scratched his face.

I smiled

I feel so relieved!

I had finished keeping the stuffs and I don't know why am I even sitting with him. It's just he wanted to have a talk with something.

My scratch marks look great in his face.

Kioko: "I'm glad you understood"

I said in a blunt tone.

Akio fliched as he scratched his back of his head having an awkward smile on his face.

Akio: "so...-"

Kioko: "why did you came here? May I ask if there's any reason for you to meet me?"

Akio: "surely there is."

I got a confused look on my face.

Kioko: "may I ask what?"

Akio: "it's...I need your help with something"

Kioko: "and what would that be?"

Akio: "it's just a minor work"

I nodded.

Akio: "I would want you to leave this job and work with me instead."

Kioko: "okay"

I didn't hesitate to agree with him.

Akio: "really?!"

Kioko: "mnhm"

Akio: "but aren't you upset to leave this job?"

Kioko: "obviously not, working with you will be much better than getting bullied here-"

Akio: "you were getting bullied!"

He stood up as he slammed the table.

Kioko: "yep"

Akio: "why didn't you tell me!?"

Kioko: "just..."

Akio: "what do you even mean by that!"

Kioko: "well I mean, it would Just be a waste of time to tell this to a scumbag like you..."

His expression changed to a nervous look and sat down not able to look me in the eyes.

Akio: "... you're...still upset with me aren't ya?..."

I turned my head to my left, not wanting to look at him.

Kioko: "what do you think?"

Akio: "...I..."

He stopped at there was a moment of silence. So awkward...

*Sigh...* I broke the silence.

Kioko: "so, lets talk about the work. Shall we?"

Akio: "...y-yeah sure..."

Kioko: "alright."

Akio: "um, so, I'll talk to the owner that you want to quit."

Kioko: "Okie"

He slide a card towards me.

Akio: "here's the number, I'll send someone to pick you up. Tomorrow."

I took the card and answered thankyou. We both stood out of out chairs.

Akio: "well then, bye. Take care, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, be ready."

Kioko: "alright. bye"

He smiled, turned around and left. It was a black long car. Of course he's rich.

Well actually he's my best friend or in other words, WAS my best friend. He had done something that was horrible but he also saved me from that so we became friends again. But, I don't really talk much to him...it kinda annoys me.

I'm still angry with him though. Who would've thought he would betray me that time.

...

Nah!...

Who cares now, I don't.

I put the card in my pocket and went inside, the shop.

And...

The worst luck. *Sigh*

Shou: "you! How could you just waste your time! Don't ya know there still so many works left!"

He yelled and pushed me...

This dog...it really piss me off.

Kioko: "well I don't care, I left the job so it's not my work."

I said cleaning off the dust in my shirt.

Kioko: "now Stop picking up on me and do your work."

Shou: "hah! As if I'm gonna believe, just shut up and get to work you dor-"

I punched him hard directly in the face.

Kioko: "mind your words."

He got teary eyes as he ran off sobbing.

I really feel happy!

Now, let just pack up.

Huff!

Finally done!

I said happily

It's a new apartment, a new job and...a new start. I'm quite lucky.

I mean not that much cause I'll be working with him. Akio.

He's in his office right now he just sent someone to pick me up

still have to organise my things, but first of all I've to meet him... I'll just call him.

I took my phone out of my pocket and called him.

*Ring*

Akio: "hello, Kioko?"

Kioko: "yup"

Akio: "any problem with the apartment? Do you like it?"

Kioko: "no and yes I like it. Thankyou."

Akio: "no problem!"

Kioko: "I just wanted to ask where to meet up?"

Akio: "ah, right. Just get inside the car my driver will bring you wher I am."

Kioko: "okay then."

Akio: "alright."

I hung up.

So, let's just go already.

I ran outside, locking the apartment. It was his driver, I guess his name was...uh...

Sebastian?

Right Sebastian.

He bow down and opened the car door for me. I stepped inside, feeling awkward.

I mean it's just second time in getting to ride in a first class car. It really feels little royal. There was no one inside, only me, the seats are quite comfy I really like this...

...

Should I call Akio?

I guess I should...

I took out my mobile and called him. He picked up. But it isn't his voice...

???: "Hello?"

I snapped out.

Kioko: "a-ah! hello..."

Such a deep, soft, calming voice...

???: "May I ask who's this speaking?"

Kioko: "it Akio's friend, may I speak to him?"

???: "Oh, he not here right now he has gone somewhere. I'll tell him to call you later if that's okay."

Kioko: "y-yeah sure!"

???: "Okay then."

*Beep beep*

Call ended.

I took a deep breath, and covered my mouth. Hot...my body feels hot right now...

I realised...

My face was red, I was blushing?

...

Idiot! Really an idiot.

I came to my senses, his voice was quite..- !

Why the heck I'm thinking about it I slapped myself softly twice.

Well let's say ... I'm attracted to my same gender. When I was in 11 grade I found out, I thought it was disgusting at first but now I don't, guess so. I have never been in a relationship, not even once. I don't care though.

The car stopped, are we here?

The driver opened the car and I stepped out. It's a huge building a company to say in other words. Is he the owner of this company!

It's normal though, Akio does come from a rich family but I didn't know he had a company.

"Kioko!"

A fimiliar voice called me I turned my head to right.

Kioko: "Akio!...and..."

There was a boy beside him. He was wearing a black turtle neck shirt, a black sunglasses, his hair was quite messy but it...looked good.

...He was mesmerizing

( I'm not good at drawing alright!)...

I really can't take my eyes off him.

Akio: "so let's talk shall we?"

I flinched.

Kioko: "ye-yeah..."

seriously Can't believe I zoned out...
