Author: utak ko~ :P
Pairing: Nakajima Kento x OC
Chapter Twelve:
‘What will you do if your heart starts beating for the person you hated the most? The person you wanted to kill if you can? A big problem, right? Disaster!’
After talking with Kenichi, we parted ways. He wanted to walk me home but I resisted. Thanks to my mom who wanted me to buy something. I used it as an excuse. I wanted to be alone this time.
I bought another cake; I also added up some fruit that mom told to buy. It was already 22:00. I should be home this time. But I walked slower. I don’t have energy.
The street to our house is pretty dark. I was usually afraid when I am tracking my way here at night but now it doesn’t matter. My fear in dark streets did not matter. What matters most is, I felt broken, really broken…
“Hi, Miss,” a scary guy approached me. From the way he looks, he is like a rebellious guy. Scary.
Then another guy pop out behind me. “Want to have some fun?” when I felt his breath against my skin, I got goose bumps. I immediately walked away from them. “Oh, Miss. Don’t walked away from us.” This guy took steps forward and I took steps backward until my back touched a wall. Shit.
“You’re pretty cute, huh.” The first guy commented and was about to touch my face. But I snapped his hand. The two guys laughed like evil and trapped me to the wall.
It’s bad. I’m getting scared now. My heart is pounding. But my hands never let go of the foods I brought. “Stay away from me.” I said, acting to be tough.
The guy tried to touch my face once again, but I screamed. “Aaaaaaa~”
“Stop it!” a tough male voice came. My knees broke and I fell on the ground, trembling.
“Who are you, huh?” asked one of the scary, ugly guys. I try to look at the guy but the darkness was blinding me.
“What do you care? Can you just let go of that girl?” the guy said. And his voice…Nakajima?
“Oh, I know you.” The second guy said. “He’s from JE. Let’s go now.”
The first guy hissed. Then they walked away. They walked away that easy after learning that Nakajima is from JE.
“Little Girl, are you okay?” Yeah, it is definitely Nakajima. He tucked some hair behind my ear. “You’re trembling.”
I laughed sarcastically. “Stupid. Who do you think will not tremble?”
He chuckled and pulled me to stand. But my knees are still shaking. He grabbed the box of cake and the bag of fruits from me with his one hand and the other hand assisted me to walk. “Just why are you walking alone? It’s already late.”
“It’s none of your business, Asshole.” I hissed.
He poked my forehead. “After saving you from those jerks, you are still like that?”
“I didn’t even ask your help.”
His jaws dropped. He’s annoyed. “W-What the heck?! Then next time, don’t worry. I won’t go and rescue Little Girl. Even if more stupid guys would come in your way!”
“Hell I care!” I didn’t even notice that we already arrived in front of my house. “I don’t need your help!” But the truth is I am really thankful that he was there and saved me. If he didn’t come, I don’t think I will still be alive by tomorrow.
“You’re really heartless!” he shouted.
“I’ll take that as a compliment!” I said back.
But I think he doesn’t want to quarrel with me. He lifted the box of cake and the bag of fruits. “And what the heck is this? Will tonight be your last supper that’s why you’re eating so much?”
I shrugged. “It can’t be helped. It’s for the baby.”
His cute eyes went wide opened and his mouth formed an ‘O’. “B-baby?” oh wait, did I just complimented his eyes?
“Yeah, a baby in the tummy.” I pointed out my own tummy.
“Y-You’re pregnant?!” he exclaimed.
I smirked. “Are you crazy?!”
Then our door suddenly opened. “Rin-chan? You’re late.” She said and came rushing to me. “Oh, kento-kun? You’re with Rin-chan?” mom’s eyes twinkled. Sigh.
“Good evening.” Nakajima greeted.
“As I expected, you are with Rin-chan.” Mom said with joy.
Nakajima told the whole story about the incident. “That’s why I walked her home.”
Mom gets the box of cake and the bag of fruits from Nakajima and gently pushed him inside. “You eat with us, Kento-kun. Don’t say no, it’s for saving Rin-chan.”
Sigh. Why does Mom really like that Asshole? Jeez. When I was about to enter the house, I saw some pairs of shoes. “Eh? Do we have a visitor?” but I don’t think Mom hear it. She went to the kitchen with Nakajima. I followed them. When I passed in our living room, there are many men there. I think they were my dad’s officemates.
“Rin-chan, you eat cake with nakajima in your room. Dad has some business to do.” Mom said and handed me a tray with cake and a tea.
“Mom! Sa kwarto ko? Okay ka lang Mom?” Mom! In my room? Are you okay, Mom? my eyes opened wide.
“Doon na kayo. Kailangan mo ng makakausap.” Stay there. You need someone to talk to. Mom winked.
While we are in my room, we eat cake silently. The silence was broken by the ring of my phone. When I look at it, an incoming call from Kenichi popped. My hands tremble. I don’t think I can talk to him right now. I don’t know what to say. I turned my phone off.
“Why didn’t you answer it?” Nakajima asked.
“I don’t need to answer it.” I said and continue eating.
“It was Kenichi right?”
“Eh?”
“I knew it. It was kenichi. So he broke up with you?” he asked and finished eating. I didn’t answer. So he took it as a yes. “You’re not even crying. Do you want me to make you cry again?” He was smiling this time. I can feel that he wanted to help.
I hissed. “I don’t want to cry, I’m tired, you know.”
“Then at least tell me how you feel.” He uttered, browsing my on a book that was lying on the floor. “It’s better than keeping it yourself.”
I sighed. “Well, right now, I am feeling okay. Yes, I was hurt knowing that he already loves somebody else. But what more can I do? He decided it himself. And also, I don’t feel like crying. I was wondering why.”
Nakajima was just staring at me for moments. “You really love him, huh. That bastard is lucky.”
I chuckled. “Well?”
He returned back his eyes from the book. “There are still a lot of guys out there. A guy who is…better...than him.” Eh? Are my eyes getting a problem or what? Did I just see him blushing?
“Ne, Nakajima…” I called his attention so that he would face me.
“Hmmm….”
When he faced me, I am not wrong. He’s really blushing, thought not that red, he is still. That’s cool. I rarely see guys who blushed. I chuckled as a reply.
“What’s with that?” His forehead knotted.
I shrugged. “Nothing. I was amazed that you can actually blush. I mean, it’s rare to see a guy blushing.” I study his face even more. “It’s cute.”
“Eh?!” he exclaimed. I chuckled.
