The Page Torn by Fukuyama Jun Part 1

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I see, well then wait here, or you can go around"

"No, I'll wait here. I might see another books, it will be bad"

Wah, I wonder where he came from, since my hometown was in Osaka, hearing people speaking Kansai dialect made my ears pricked in excitement.

Though I wonder who it was. He seemed a special customer.

The bookstore was dead silence and I could hear nothing but the heater. It was then a phone call came and it seemed it came from that Fukuyama-san.

"I'll be there in a minute. I'll just get my orders"

Ah I was right, it was a call for Fukuyama-san.

"Here you go, Fukuyama-san"

"Ah, so many!" (多いやね-ooiyane)

"Well, you requested it."

The two of them seemed having fun.

"That is the man manager kept on saying" I was startled when Akira showed behind me and she was whispering "A famous person that is a regular customer here. Though he often request for books, if he likes it he will buy, if he doesn't, he will return it" she explained then again we had another peek to him

"I never heard of him" I whispered back

"I just heard from Hino-senpai. He comes time to time, I heard"

It was then he turned around, I only had a glimpsed of him and I knew that our eyes met for a moment, but why did I suddenly feel so nervous? The beating of my heart became uncontrollable all of a sudden! Eh?

Since that day, I wonder why I became curious of him. I really wanted to know who Fukuyama-san was, but I only knew 'Fukuyama-san' and I sucked at searching people on the internet

I was on my way home and it was quite cold. I really didn't like winter. Especially January and February's weather, though Hokkaido's winter is harsher than this.

Two weeks from now it would be Valentines and I could feel it since the ambiance around, it was full of hearts and couples! I felt so gloomy, and again, I wanted to read that book.

"Watch out!" I stopped walking when I heard someone shouted and the stoplight turned red. I looked around and there were lots of people looking at me. I wondered my eyes and looked to that voice. But I wonder who it was? Since I was startled, I didn't pay attention on the voice

"I shouldn't walk aimlessly from now on" I mumbled to myself.

I arrived in my house and found my friends watching movie with messy living room. It seemed they didn't notice me so I went straight to the kitchen and there I found one of my friend kissing with someone I didn't know

"Ah, (F/N), I thought you will be late today" Kaori was somehow surprised "uhm, Yuuto this is (F/N), she is the owner of this house"

I smiled forcefully trying to hide the annoyance I felt. "I'm surprised, are you guys having a party or what?"

"Yeah, actually, we finished a proposal and it turned out well" Kaori answered cuddling more to her boyfriend

"Congrats, I'll go to my room. Be sure to clean all this mess" I reminded them,

"But you see Akira, it happened for the whole week. Every night they have party. I had no work here and only worked at my uncle's but then every time I went home, the house was at mess" I complained to Akira who was sitting beside me. Again, today there was not much customer in the bookstore we were working.

"You should talk to them" she patted my back and then brought out a book from her side

"The Last Valentine? Why are you reading that again?" I confusedly asked
