Yuzu Going Back Home

As Yuzu walked outside Harumin's house,
She felt refreshed.
It felt like a new chapter.
The smile on her face was visible.
The reason for that was her friend.
Harumin.

"I'm thankful for you Harumin."
Is what she thought.

But,
when she mentioned wedding,
it made me feel insecure again.
I wont let it get to me anymore.
That's a thing I will fight against.
Atleast,
I'll try...

...

Back Home

As Yuzu arrived at her appartment.
She deeply inhaled and sighed it out.
She grabbed her bags and
walked towards the building.
For a second,
she looked at the door where Sachiko lives.
Realizing in what situation she was in,
she quickly grabbed her keys,
and opened the door into her apartment.

Yuzu entered her apartment.
She felt relieved being back home.
As she dropped her luggage,
She dropped herself on the sofa.
Layed there for a few minutes
before getting up to grab a drink.
She walked up into the kitchen
and turned the lights on.

She gazed at the place where Mei was sitting.
She sighed.
"What am I doing.."
She whispered to herself.

Yuzu's stomach started to growl.

"Oh it's already 6:30 pm."
"What should I make for dinner.."

She opened the fridge and realized
there was not much to eat.
Because she stayed at Harumin's.
She stood up and said to herself,
"I will go get some groceries."

She quickly puts her jacket on
while grabbing her keys.

She then,
opened the door..

As she opened the door
she saw Sachiko passing through.
Sachiko stopped and Yuzu froze.
They did not expect eachother.
Her heartbeat was slowly beating faster.
While Yuzu's face was turning red,
their eyes finally met.

*Badump*

For a second it was silent.

"Don't run away..."
Is what Yuzu thought.

She looked Sachiko in the eyes and
forced a confident smile at her.
"G..Goodevening.."
Then she quickly looked downwards.
She smiled in the hope for
Sachiko to smile back at her.

But,
Sachiko bowed at Yuzu and walked away.
Sachiko had a painful stare in her eyes.
She was trying to avoid more eyecontact.

As she walked passed,
Yuzu watched her up close and
saw how pretty she was.
*Badump*

Then she dissapeared behind the corner.
As she dissapeared, Yuzu thought about the expression Sachiko made
when she saw Mei and her.
*Sigh*

This left Yuzu with a sad expression.
"As expected..."
She whispered to herself while
closing the door.

She grabbed her phone out of her jacket.
