"Who are you?"
I blinked fast and was so dumbfounded to what he asked. I pointed at myself and chuckled "It's me, Suzuki-san, (L/N) (F/N)"
"No, no, no, no, no"
"Wow, too much no" I laughed and shook my head "I just needed to changed my hairstyle and the color, so I apologize, please get used to it"
"What happened, (F/N)?! You cut your hair short and even dyed it brown, what's with the change of air?!" I noticed Suzuki-san's tone was somehow unsatisfied and with words of disbelief.
"Ah," I chuckled and I showed them how it was hard to explain what happened. "How should I explain it?"
"Is that really hard to explain?" One staff asked and they were gathering around me.
I nodded slightly and sighed "Actually, yesterday, Rita and I were painting my room with white."
"Then, you tripped and you showered with paint?"
I shook my head and chuckled "I didn't trip, I didn't bump. I didn't make a mess"
"Then what happened?"
"Because I was so tired, after I took off the tie of my hair, I leaned my back on the wall, forgetting the wet paint."
"You should just wash it" Suzuki-san folded his arms
"We tried, but it took time before I realized that I was leaning on the wall. It tangled and the white paint dried on my hair. We went to the parlor, and the barber told me that there was no other choice but to cut up to here" I told them pointing on my shoulder
"But why it become like that?!"
"Suzuki-san, calm down" I told him since he looked so anxious "so we went to the barber shop. When the barber shop was about to cut my hair, I sneezed, resulting him to cut up to here." I explained pointing to the length of my hair that was just below my earlobes. My voice was also fading, since I knew that they would be dumbfounded. "As for why it became brown, when we were on our way home, we noticed there were still some white paint on my hair. Rita suggested to dye my hair black, so I went to buy, but I bought the brown one." I chuckled and just made a big wide grin "now please, let's stop this now and go back to work" I said and headed towards my table, bumping to a chair and tripping on the way
"It seemed that only her appearance changed" I heard someone said and they all laughed
~
However, because of what happened to me, somehow Suzuki-san's actions towards me changed. I didn't know the reason, but because I was always with him, I felt it.
"Uhm, Suzuki-san?" I called him while he was reading a manuscript on a meeting room "Can I ask you something?"
"Hmmm?" he reluctantly responded showing no interest
"No, never mind. Please continue on what you are doing. Please forget it. I'll just go get you a coffee" I said exiting the room.
I didn't know what happened, but somehow I felt hurt from his actions. I didn't know what to do anymore.
As I returned with coffee on my hand, Suzuki-san wasn't there, and I just read a note that he left. I put down the coffee on the table and just sighed.
"This is making me crazy. Suzuki-san clearly hates me now"
"Ahre, where is Suzuki-san?" Rita suddenly came in with folders in her hand "They told me that he is here"
"I don't know. Here" I got the coffee and gave it to her "I got it for Suzuki-san, his preferable taste, but seemed like he left already so I'll give it to you. I'll just go give this documents to the clerks in the first floor lobby"

Days had passed and Suzuki-san's action didn't change. He asked me though one time if I had this kind of appearance before, and I told him that I had. And today, somehow he was fine with me going with him on Lantis to record their new songs. I was watching them from where the directors were while holding all the photocopies of the lyrics of their other new songs.
"That's great!" The director said through the microphone once they finished the song "We'll go the next after five!"
The oldcodex members stayed inside the recording studio as the music director entered and stood next to me. I felt though that he was staring at me
"It's my first time seeing you"
"Eh? Ah, it's me, (L/N) (F/N)"
"Oh, It's been a while since I last saw you, you changed a lot." He said then pointed my hair "I didn't recognize you with that hair style of yours"
"Ahahaha" I chuckled a little and even the other staffs that were inside agreed to what he said. "They said the same thing" I said and he touched my hair
"Woah, it's really real" He said while being amazed with my new hairstyle "I think it suits your better. Also, your ambiance changed. You were a clumsy person, right?"
I again laughed and I didn't know what to response, good thing, Suzuki-san spoke through the mic and he wanted to continue the recording.
The recording continued for 2 more hours and they finally finished their songs. They looked so tired while drinking their water bottle so deliciously. I was having a hard time approaching them.
But once I noticed that Yorke-san's hand had a blood, I approached them immediately
"Yorke-san, here's a Band-Aid. Show me your hand" I said putting the folders on the table beside and got the Band-Aid box on my pocket "this Band-Aid has alcohol on it, so it will sting a little bit."
"(L/N), you bring Band-Aids with you?" He asked extending his hand
"Yes, since I'm a clumsy person, I thought of bringing Band-Aids with me." I answered and put the Band-Aid on his right thumb
"(L/N)-san, you became more interesting than before. You change" He said and I tilted my head to what he meant
"No" Suzuki-san commented and his members and I looked at him who was drinking. Once he finished his drinks, he looked at Yorke-san and pointed at me "She was more interesting before. She became normal person"
Somehow his words really hurt a lot. The way he said it, he obviously despised me. Ah, I see, I didn't made a mess since then. Because of that, he didn't have a chance to punish me. Ah, now I got it.
I chuckled and I was trying to hold on my emotion "I see. Now I know why you hate me now" I gazed down and sighed loudly "Your toy just disappeared" Yeah, since he loved punishing me, and he was enjoying playing with me
"Toy?" they all asked curiously and I just nodded, and still tried to laugh about it
"Sorry if I stopped messing things around. I also didn't know why, but somehow it just happened"
"Eh, (L/N)-san, don't cry!" Yorke-san shouted and I just realized that I was crying.
I wiped my tears and hastily spoke "S-sorry, I'll just go to the washroom!" I turned around and ran,
But the last thing I remembered was their voice calling me to stop.
~
I opened my eyes and I could see white ceiling. The scent of ethanol could be smell on the room. I sat down slowly, and felt a towel fall down from my forehead. I grabbed the towel and then noticed Yorke-san with the other member of oldcodex standing across the bed I was in. Suzuki-san wasn't here, and I was on the nurse office in Lantis
"Oh, you are awake" Yorke-san said in low voice. He stood beside the bed and chuckled "I take back what I said that you changed. You only changed in appearance"
"Uhm, what happened to me?" I asked curiously
"You forgot? You ran away, but forgot to open the door, so you just bounce back. It was a loud crash you know. What were you doing, (L/N)" Yorke-san answered and put his hands on his pocket
"Just a random gravity check" I answered and they all laughed "Sorry, I also don't know"
"By the way (L/N), don't get mad nor hate Tattsun"
"Huh?" I looked at Yorke-san in confusion
"Well, he just love bullying you. But he is so worried about you every time you tripped-"
"Wait, Yorke-san, don't say that!" the other members shut his mouth and pulled him away "We'll leave the two of you" they said pointing at the chair next to the window.
Suzuki-san was there sleeping while sitting with his arms folded, and his head and body was leaning on the wall. As I heard the door closed, I approached him slowly and his face was so peaceful.
"I wonder what Yorke-san meant a while ago." I mumbled and looked at Suzuki-san's face "He's so cute while sleeping. Besides, hate him? I never think of that. As his assistant manager, I would never hate this guy" I said, but in this kind of situation, somehow I got curious with something. What would it feel to be kiss by this guy? "I'm kind of jealous to that person" I moved my face closer to him and examined his face "His face is really beautiful" I moved my face closer and to make the matter worst, I felt my nose so itchy, and that instant, I sneezed.
I moved back and sniffed as I scratched my nose. "Here"
"Ah, thank you" I answered getting the tissue from Suzuki-san.
。。。。。。。。?
Wait a minute?! I suddenly felt so awkward. My body just froze while I was wiping my nose. I felt his stare piercing me and I unconsciously moved back. I was doing my best not to look at him.
"W-well then, S-suzuki-san, I'll leave" I said and turned around, but I tripped and fall on the ground with my face on the floor "THAT HURTS!"
"For goodness sake! Be careful!" Suzuki-san shouted and immediately help me to stand up. He led me to sit down on the bed and softly touched the bump on my head "The bump a while ago hadn't heal, and now you got another one. You really are a klutz! You crashed on the walls, table, chairs, and even tripped and fall on the floor"
"I am clumsy! But the walls got in my way, the table and chairs are just bullies, and the floor just plainly hates me" I answered touching my forehead "It hurts"
"So when did you learn those words, huh?"
"I just read that somewhere" I answered and looked on his way but I didn't know that his face was so close to mine, that I immediately turned my face away "S-Suzuki-san is so cunning"
"Huh?!" He poked the bumped on my head and he sounded so pissed
"B-because, I don't know what to believe. You are so kind, then started acting cold towards me. And now, you are acting so kind and worried. I don't know what I should do or what should I believe now." I explained still looking away from him "Also, Yorke-san said not to get mad nor hate you. You are just worried"
"Ah, that old man. Spouting things around" I heard him commented and that instant I felt the magnetic force of the bed pulling me. No, that was wrong! I was pushed down. I shut my eyes and felt trembled to what just happened.
However, once I opened my eyes, Suzuki-san was looking down at me, and his hands were beside my face.
"S-Suzuki-san?"
"It's annoying you know!"
"Huh?! Did you just say annoying?!"
"You were fine before. But why did you change your appearance?! Then you weren't that clumsy as before"
"As if I wanted that to happen! Besides! What's wrong with changing my appearance?! Also, isn't it nice? Not messing around"
"You don't get anything!"
"If you don't explain I will not get it!"
I knew that were both shouting at each other. But Suzuki-san was so serious and his stare was locked to mine. He wasn't looking away.
"You became cuter!"
"Eh?" I was somehow taken aback from his response. I noticed how shaded of red formed in his face "W-what do you mean?"
"Well, you were cute before, added with your interesting reactions every time you messed up. Then you changed your appearance, and I was so pissed that I couldn't see that for a long time. But then you became cuter, and I wanted to see more of your reactions. But it became lessen, and I was so pissed. I wanted to see more sides of you" he explained but this time I knew that he became so embarrassed that he shut his eyes. But I jolted once he opened his eyes and glared at me "Also! You let other guys touch you!"
"Uhm, S-suzuki-san?"
"Shut up! This is your punishment" he said and the curiosity of mine a while ago just happened. I asked if how it feels to be kissed by him, it was blissful! The lips that I got curious with just forcefully kissed me.
But, it was really a punishment, since he bit my lower lip
"That hurts, Suzuki-san"
"I know, I did it on purpose! Now don't let other people see your cute and interesting sides. Just show it to me"
I covered my face since I knew that it became really red, and I was so embarrassed with our situation right now. I couldn't calm down, and the racing of my heart was like the bullet train, 320km/h.
"You are asking the impossible thing, Suzuki-san. I, myself don't even know what you are portraying, I couldn't control my actions, so it's impossible"
"I'm saying, just stay by my side always, baka" he moved my hands away from my face and again his lips touched mine. But this time, it was gentler, and I permitted it.
