Ukai's Daughter

Calm (non-chapter)

This chapter is just an extra I made because of what's happening to a lot of people in these times. Trigger warning for some people ahead btw. I'm sorry.

My head hurts.

My heart hurts.

Everything hurts.

The darkness surrounding the room engulfs me.

Dad went out for the weekend to go help family.

Now I'm stuck here...

...

I enjoy the solitude.

But it hurts me.

It's nice and silent.

But it pains my ears.

I've counted at least 20+ missed messages and 5 missed calls.

But I don't really feel like answering to anybody.

I closed the shop early to sulk for a bit but I had all night to do this.

It feels like I haven't been here for long but with a quick check of the time, I realize I have been sitting here for hours.

My legs crossed.

My eyes unfocused.

My hands on my lap, wrists exposed.

I refuse to repeat the past...but it's time like these that seems okay to do...

I put my hands together and admire them.

Putting them up to my forehead, I feel how cold they are.

Noticing the cold air around me, I shiver.

I should close the windows...

As I'm about to get up, I hear a soft knock at the front door. Slight hesitation appears before I commit and go to open it.

Out my room, turn right, down the hallway, turn left, the door is a few feet away...

Unlocking the door and turning the handle, I slowly open the door.

"Y/n?"

Looking up, I see Koshi.

"Oh...hi." I respond.

"Why haven't you answered the phone?"

"I got busy sorry." I force a chuckle.

Koshi seemed to have notice how dark the house was and invited himself inside.

"What are you doing?" I ask, my voice cracking.

"I'm turning on some lights. I'm going to make some dinner too." Koshi responded, walking into the kitchen.

"I'm not hungry though."

"It doesn't matter if your hungry or not."

I walk over to the kitchen and stand next to the fridge, watching as Koshi brings out some pans and plates from different cabinets.

He took a glance at me before sighing.

"Come here." He commanded.

Walking toward him slowly, I submit to him as he lifts me up.

"How about you go relax in your room?"
