Yamachii (Chinen's POV)
I want to believe, in this world there is no one is ordinary people. Everyone has their respective strengths, and I want to believe it ..
But, now I feel worse than an ordinary person ..
I'm just a student who get scholarships for go to university, for get money to eat I must take a part time job as a cashier in a shop, and I have no parents because they have abandoned me when I still a baby .. now.. I‘m struggling alone to live here, in Tokyo ..
"Welcome .." I give my smile to customers who had just arrived, but he's not ignored me. He walked over to take a few packs of chocolate without thinking what kind of chocolate he really likes. Then he walked back to me, spread all the chocolate he get on the counter. Quickly I gathered his chocolate ..
"You eat so much chocolate, are you sure you can eat all of this, alone?" I asked, and he did not answer me back like usual. Lately he always come to shopped in here .. sometimes he just buy mineral water, or just buy a pack of pocky ..
And which this always happens too, he always gave money in very large nominal , then he will go before I give him his change.
"Ah .." This time I intend to pursue him, because it's already 5 times I save his money back that I should give to him. But I saw his car was leaving the supermarket.
"He again ..?" My friend asked with a curious face. I’m just nod my head.
"Wuaah, you're so lucky Chinen!"
"Are you want to eat ramen? This time I'll pay .. " I'm show the money to her.
"No, just save it. I know you need the money. I think he's interested in you .. "
"What?"
"He never forget to took his change, if I who become cashier, but he's different with you.."
I should curse my friend at that time, because her words, my life would changed later..

"Dai-chan?" I entered the apartment that I live alone with my best friend.
"Daichan?" after a long enough no one answer me, desperately I walk in trying to turn on the lights.
"Eh?" I started to confusion when I had switch the light not one lamp turn on. I'm looking for a flashlight with a little panic and when I finds it I let a sigh of relief out my lips. I'm not afraid of the dark or such as, but there must be something wrong with this bizarre situation. Turned the flashlight, I beam it across the room and finally found the last letter, from Daichan ..
-Yuri-
You know me and Takaki fight because of you ..
Actually he offered to me, he will make up with me if I want to leave our apartment.
And I agree with that.
I bring all the food, and I’m not pay for electricity this month.
Sorry ..
-Dai-chan-
I fell to the floor. "HE STOLE ALL FOOD ?!!" I yelled with frustrated. Luckily today I was eating ramen, but it didn’t help me to sleep in the dark, alone ..

"You look like haven’t enough sleep, Chii .." my friend studied my face in confusion.
"Of course I could not sleep, my apartment isn’t a safe place to let the cute guy like me sleeping in the dark .."
"I don’t understand what you mean, ah .. he comes! " I and my friends saw the handsome man that came with his flat face as usual.
"Your blessed, Chii .. you will get extra money. "I looked at her, hoping her words would become true. But that hope increasing when I remember her words yesterday.
"He's definitely interested in you .."
And that memory led me into the dumbest idea I ever had.
Quickly, I took the paper and tore it into pieces. I grabbed a pen and wrote some words on paper and number behind the paper. Just when he came up with his groceries, I smiled broadly.
"I have a ticket that I will sell just for you .." he raised his eyebrows seem he didn’t interested. And it managed to erase my smile.
"I .. I ..gomen.." I’m not continue with my offer and began to calculate the price of his groceries.
"Are you selling a train ticket?"
"AH!" This is the first time I heard his voice, he is really the son of a nobleman who has a soft and firm voice.
"Emmm.. If you're interested, you can see it .. " I gave him four paper. He raised his eyebrows again, read my writing hand and laugh out loud, sudenly. I was shocked for a second time, this the first time too, I saw him laughing and he looked so beautiful.
"For the first time I saw someone as funny as you .."
Ah, okay ..
At least he did not say I'm an idiot ..
"Okay, okay .." he composed himself and stood up with his perfect position.
"I'll think about your offer."
"Do you know the rules? Each bid has a price. "
"Oh, yes .." he saw the numbers on the back of the paper.
"When you get off from your work?"
"Umm, 2 hours again.."
"I'll be waiting at the cafe in front of this store .." he took the groceries and pay with large money than usual.
Is he really interested in me?
