"NO SMOKING allowed inside," you warned the male who just stepped foot inside the bakery. The foul smell of smoke made you disturbed.

Hanma Shuji smirks, obeying your words as he walks up towards you. "A cutie, aye?"

'What does this fucker want.' You frowned by just hearing his unwanted words. Is this how boys flirts nowadays?

You decided to take another better look at him, he actually quite has the looks if you were being honest but his personality does not makes up for it.

"Welcome," you muttered. "...to the Bakery."

Hanma giggles at your words, placing his arms on the counter top as he leaned towards your face making you taken back by his random action. A smirk printed om his face while looking at you, "What do you suggest here, cutie?"

"Our Bakery is known for Dorayaki's and Taiyaki's," You recommended. "And please stop calling me such names."

You were clearly annoyed and worried at the same time. What if he starts showing up in the bakery everyday? Wouldn't that be so annoying?

Hanma hums before walking to the basket of Dorayaki's taking out one, "My name's Hanma Shuji by the way." He introduced himself out of the blue, looking back at you. "And yours is?"

You hesitated to answer, he was a stranger after all. "...[Name] [Last name]."

Hanme sneers, he expected too clearly that you'll cite your name. He was being too cocky at the moment.

Sure, girls wants him left and right. He did have some relationships with them and it seems like he found another doll to toy with. You were unaware about his coming schemes, you only hoped he won't annoy you as you work your ass off in the bakery.

"I see," He takes out a wallet out of his pocket, getting money to pay for his dorayaki. You were being cautious around him just by how he was acting. You didn't want to be violated by someone who told their name to you and acts as if you both know each other.

Hanma places the exact payment on the counter, turning his back around you and taking out a cigarette the moment he walked outside. "See you soon, cutie."

He winks at you leaving you dumbfounded. You were still processing at what just had happened. Hanma was already gone by now, but you didn't really know what you had gotten into.

You glanced at the money left ontop of the counter, sighing and taking it out from the tray where Hanma had left the money, "What a weird man."

The sound of the bird chipping outside, made you feel sleepy. You didn't get enough sleep again but you were used to it. Abit too comfortable yet at the same time stress once the time hits two o'clock in the morning.

Actually everything makes you feel sleepy, from the sound of your teachers voice to the sound of the city light streets. You've never gotten had a proper 'rest' just like what you had promised with Mitsuya. A simple vow always can be broken by heavily sugarcoated phrases.

It was a fine Saturday afternoon. People are probably hanging out with eachother right now. Couples be displaying their PDA's in public, some might want their privacy. The playground filled with children playing tag. Oh, how you wished you'll never grow up.

Being an adult is just too troublesome...

If you had the power to go back in time, then you could've saved your sister who sacrificed her life infront of you. How you thought if your sister was still alive, you wouldn't have to meet them. As much as you're grateful for them being defensive around you at least you felt appreciated.

You thought you would be alone, but everything happened already from the past. You're just too fragile for another fight.

You clearly deep in thoughts not noticing your coworker entering the bakery. You were just there, existing.

"[name]," They shakes your shoulder trying to get your attention. "You've been spacing out again."

You blinked a couple of times before taking a glance at your coworker, "Sorry."

Your coworker was obviously concerned for your mental and physical health, you're just a kid who's gonna fight in society that's filled with immortality and unsympathetic individuals.

Greed everywhere you go.

They look at you with endearing eyes, caressing your temples just like how your sibling would do when they comfort you.

"Y'know [name], I hate being a twenty five year old bitch who has nothing else to do than to work with no break." They gave a doleful smile, eyes filled nothing but melancholy. "You're lucky you're still a kid so act like it, go and make memories with someone."

Your body stood firm, you have no one by yourself anymore. How can you possibly make 'memories'?

The coworker noticed your stiff posture, thinking if they talked too much with their experience and so they tried to find something that can cheer the heavy atmosphere you both are in.

They giggled remembering at the man who takes you home everytime your shift ends, "That boy can be your first."

"Shut up," You panicked from embarrassment shoving your hand at their face, your body unconsciously getting relaxed once again. "He's not going to be my boyfriend."

"Yet," They added teasing you to get on your sides.

Let's say that during the rest of your shift it was just you and your coworker making fun of you and your love life.

"Bye bye," You waved your hands at your coworker as you left the bakery walking towards Mitsuya on the same spot.

Mitsuya asking how your day was going as always, it was cute and reassuring to hear him ask about it but you're just in denial.

The sound of the engine and the wind as you both rode on the streets of shibuya. Your arms tightly secured around his waist to keep you from falling from your death.

"...Pah-chin got arrested." Mitsuya tells you, he was hesitating.

Your grip tightens, a knot forming in your heart. "Why would he get arrested?..." You question, wondering why? Just why? Pah-chin wouldn't dare to do those things right?

"He stabbed Osanai," Mitsuya then explains what exactly happened with you quietly listening to his words. "Now, Mikey and Draken are in a fight."

You still couldn't believe it.
