Chapter 2

*I sighed.

I'm currently in my room. Together with....

"Ahhh this room is too dull."

"Just shut your freaking mouth."

"But this bed is bouncy though. Hehe. Boing!"

Aaaand now he's bouncing on my bed. I sighed. I observed him. His hair is bouncing with him. I chuckled. It's hilarious. And cute. Wait what?! Did I just—

Wait, hold on a second. What is he gonna do with my window? He opened it. What is he—hey!

"You're gonna fall!" I quickly grabbed his arm and turned him around and everything is reflex.

I want to sigh in relief but our position......isn't this a little close?!

His eyes went wide. But then he smirked. "My my~ Oh my~" He leaned closer. "What could this mean~? Hmm~?"

Dang it. Now I realised our height difference. He is way taller than me. This stupid fu—hold on. Is this his waist? Hmm....not bad. Hehe. I just thought of something.

"You won't look down on me ever again." I quickly grab his arm and throw him on the bed. Then I topped him before he could react. One hand on each side of his head and one knee between his thighs. He really was caught off guard. "Ha! How about this! From now on, I'll get taller and you won't look down on me. Ever!"

"You meanie~"

Eh?

He lowered his eyelids a little and gave me a flirtatious smile. "What's next?"

W-w-w-wait! I didn't mean for this to go—

"Hmm~?"

I quickly scrambled out of bed and went to the farthest corner of the room away from the bed. "Y-y-y-y-you. What did you do to me!" My heart is beating faster! What is going on?!

He sat up and laughed. "Oh my this is too funny!" He kept on laughing. Usually, I'd get mad right away. But, when he laughs like that, what is this? I gripped my shirt on top of where my heart is. What is this burning and weird feeling I feel? Somehow, I want to protect his smile......

"Whaaaat? Have you finally gone speechless to the point of your mouth being glued to your bones? Pfffft hahahahaha!"

Okay. I take it back.

"Come here you—"

After that, it was a pointless chase. It only stopped after nightfall. And I was dead tired.

"I need to lie down." So I did.

He yawned. "Well, it was nice playing with you but I have to go now. And would you look at the time~"

I was too tired to reply to say anything. So I only mumbled words even I couldn't understand.

He chuckled. "Also, since this room is so dull. Why not a pot of green?"

My head jerked up. "A what now?"

There on an empty part of my bookshelf lies a pot with a plant in it. It's green.

"What's that?"

"An herb. I'll tell you about it next time I come here someday." he proceeds to the window.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" I sat up.

"Don't worry. I'm just heading to work."

"And leaving through the window? There's a door you know."

He sighs as he opens the closed window that I closed earlier for safety precautions. "Oh boy. Your brain lacks common sense to the point that your asking questions even a child can answer? Oh poor you."

"What the **** are you trying to say here? Do you think I would know anything if you won't tell me?!" I was holding myself back. I'm trying here.

"Fine. For your sake I'll explain." he looks around outside. "I'm leaving through the window because it's easier for my job—"

I opened my mouth.

"—which I cannot tell you for many reasons—"

I closed my mouth.

"—so don't bother if you value your life. And besides, it's more mysterious this way."

"The fu—"

He fell.

"Hey!" I ran to the window to find him completely fine on the ground. He's waving at me with his idiotic smile. Then he disappeared into the darkness.

I closed the window. Tsk! So I didn't need to save him back then huh? That prick!

But....I don't regret it somehow.....

"Wha—! Why am I thinking—! Well at least he's not coming back."

"..."

Why do I feel empty?

Then my eyes landed on the plant.

"Next time...."

I chuckled. "Damn that guy can flirt." I'm kinda hoping actually*.

"Next time....."

Tears start to fall again.

"But there won't be a next time, will there?" My voice is breaking. Urgh. I feel terrible. I should close the window and take a bath. I might catch a cold. Speaking of colds. I chuckled. He's cute when he's begging to be taken care of. I mean, he's usually independent.

Yup. There was that one time......
