"Ah..."
"I saw Yua earlier, did you come together?"
"We did, she already left though"
"I see...these are..?"
I looked at the paper bags that she was holding.
"Ah, Yua and I went shopping...one bag is a gift for Makoto-ni san"
For such thin arms, I wonder how she could carry 5 paper bags and her school bag.
"Do you still need to buy something?"
"huh? ah no, I'm heading home.."
"Have you eaten?"
"...no, I was planning on getting take outs..."
"Really? that's good"
I smiled and grabbed the paper bags with both hands.
"w-what?"
"Let's eat dinner, my treat"
"ah?"
"Do you dislike it?"
"N-no well...I guess, um sure?"
"Great! where do you want to eat?"
*pangg!!*
I started walking then stopped.
"Hana?"
I turned around to look at Hana crouching down.
In front of her was the glass door.
I hurriedly walked to her and crouched down as well.
"Did you hit your head?"
"..."
"Hey. Look at me."
I grabbed her cheeks and raised her head.
"Ahh, it's all red..."
...Her forehead was.
"...I'm okay."
"..."
I gently pressed my thumb on the red spot of her forehead.
"ah!"
"I'll go buy some ice"
I said so and got up.
"No, don't, I'm really fine"
Hana grabbed the hem of my sleeves
"...If you say so."
I held out my hands to her and helped her up.
"Can you hold this for a second?"
"yes"
I gave her the shopping bags and walked to the vending machine by the wall.
I took some coins in my wallet and got a bottle of water.
"Here"
I went back and handed it to her, taking back the paper bags from her arms.
"This..."
"Since it's cold, press it in your forehead"
"Ah, okay.."
She did as I told her. Then she suddenly laughed when we made eye contact.
"What?"
Puzzled, I asked her.
"pff- n-no.."
"..."
"..just"
"...a-huh"
"..you actually had coins-pfft"
"If you're fine now, let's go"
I ignored what she said and started walking.
When I did, I realized a lot of people were actually glancing our way...
"I think they've been looking since before I hit my head."
As if she knew what I was thinking, Hana said to me after catching up.
"So they got to witness that amazing scene"
"hmp!!"
Hana snorted when I got back at her.
Tyftc, I love the story so far but if I have something to complain about it'd would be how the chapters cut off rather abruptly.
As for the Title, I started reading because the title had piqued my curiosity. But I don't think changing it is also a bad thing, maybe do a poll with multiple titles, including the original one.
Best of luck Author, here's cookie of support
Lol sorry, was it really abruptly? ...though in a way...can that be considered a cliffhanger? Jk
Thanks for reading! I'll gladly accept your cookie. I'll consider doing your suggestion when I come up with more titles..
@Hoouuujae_60 well that sure was a cliffhanger...good thing there's a next chapter
TFTC! here's a pizza~
@Zzzzzzz gladly accept the pizza! Tnx for reading!
