" Cancers beware ! you'll have the worst luck in relationship for a few days ! " said Oha Asa
Midorima sat in his living room , listening to his favourite show attentively .
" worst luck .. " muttered himself
____________________
Indeed today was his worst day ever . Not to mention he lost his most precious lucky item of the day , he was also being scolded by one of the unsatisfied patient . He even got himself into a position where he need to take care some of unfinished reports made by some unresponsible doctors . He was in a very bad mood
He walking through the hospital hallway after finishing the reports when he bumped into Tsukiko
" oh ..Shin-chan .. Konnichiwa " smiled Tsukiko
" Ohayo " said Shin-chan . His bad mood was about to lift when he saw the guy from yesterday standing right next to Tsukiko .
" Oh, Shin-chan , meet Shiraishi-kun . He's here to observe on the plants in the Herbalogy Department for a few days " said Tsukiko
" Nice to meet you . Im Shiraishi Kuranosuke " said Shirasaihi
" Midorima Shintaro " said Midorima briefly
" He was the herbalist in the hospital where I work before " said Tsukiko
" soka " said Midorima .
" yep . I never thought to meet Tsukiko again here .This world sure is small ne ~ "
Midorima didn't like the feeling he's having . What was wrong with him ? Why is he feeling the we he did towards a guy who he never to have meet before ? He wasn't sure
" I have matters to attend to . Please excuse me " said Midorima
He feel bad for lying to Tsukiko but he didn't want to handle the feeling he have whenever he sees Shiraishi with Tsukiko . Therefore he decided to run from it .

Midorima was in his office , trying to calm himself down after what he considered as the worst day of his life . That was when Takao came in .
" another bad luck " muttered Midorima
" yo , shin-chan ! lets go grab a bite shall we ?? The new guy working with Kasumi in the Herbalogy wanted to treat us for Takoyaki ! " said Takao
A new guy - that only means Shiraishi
" no . " said Midorima
" eh ? come on ..don't be such a party popper . This is a Kansai person we're talking about . When they say they treat you for Takoyaki ..that means it will be the best Takoyaki you ever tasted ! " said Takao
" no." said Midorima
" come on Shin-chan . Let's go nya ~~ " beg Takao
" .... "
" please ... " said Takao as he gave Midorima the best puppy dog eye he can muster
" sigh.. fine "

" Yo minna ! He's here ! " said Takao as he skipped happily towards Tsukiko , Kasumi and Shiraishi
" .... " Midorima said nothing as he pushed his glasses up
" Im glad you come Shin-chan " smiled Tsukiko
" ah " was all Midorima could reply
" Yosh ... Time for Takoyaki ! " exclaimed Kasumi
" haha .. Kasumi-san sure is exited " laughed Shiraishi
" well .. you said this Takaoyaki stall is super special " said Kasumi
" yep . They let you cook the Takoyoki yourself " said Shiraishi
" eh ?? Hontou ? but .. I dont know how to cook one " said Takao worried
" Dont worry . You guys have me . I cook the best Takoyaki in the Kansai region ! "
" yosh ..let's go then ! " said Takao

When they arrived at the stall , they decided to sit at a round table . Tsukiko was first to sit down at the place .
" Tsukiko ! lets sit together ! " said Kasumi as she grab the seat right next to Tsukiko on the left side .
" Takoyaki ... Takoyaki " hummed Tsukiko
" man..she's blinded with Takoyaki already " said Kasumi
" *chuckled * maybe I should sit right next to her too ? so that I can give her extra Takoyaki " said Shiraishi
But as he was about to grab a seat , in a flash , Midorima quickly stole it . He quickly sat right next to her . Everyone was quick surprised with his action
" I think it's better for you to sit over that side since the cooking grill is there ." said Midorima with a stoic face while pushing up his glasses
" oh ... that's a good point there " said Shiraishi
___________________________
" This is yummy ! " exclaimed Kasumi
" This is superb ! " said Takao
" Glad you like it " said Shiraishi
" Shiraishi-kun , I want more Takoyaki ! " said Tsukiko
" hai .. hai ..Takoyaki is coming " said Shiraishi
" I can see why Tsukiko is so hooked with Takoyaki . " said Kasumi
" yeah .. Can you believe this girl asked me to cook Takoyaki for her almost everyday when we where working together ? "
" with that huge appetite of hers .. I can imagine it already " said Takao
" ne ne ... why didn't you ask Shiraishi to teach you how to make one ? " asked Kasumi
" I did . but it never turned out the way i wanted it to be " said Tsukiko depressed
" She's too clumsy . There's no way she can never cook a perfect Takoyaki with it . I'll give her 1 out 5 marks for it . out of pity " said Shiraishi
" Hidoi ! " pouted Tsukiko
Midorima felt out of place . Really . With nothing to say , he just sat there eating ever so quietly .
" Ne , Shin-chan ..why are you so quiet today ? " asked Takao
" it's nothing " said Midorima
" was the Takoyaki okay?" asked Shiraishi
" Its fine . Delicious I may add " said Midorima
" yokatta . I thought it wasn't up to your taste " said Shiraishi
" no. It was good really " said Midorima
and they continued their night with a little chatting . Shiraishi shared his experience working with Tsukiko in Osaka .
Midorima felt a little uncomfortable . Wait ..why was he feeling this way again ?
Maybe he was jelous to know other guys manage to make her smile during those long 10 years when he was the one to make her cry .
But who was he to feel that way ? Tsukiko is free to do anything with her life . Not that he mind .. or did he ?
Midorima noticed that she looked so happy . Will he able to make her happy ? Maybe it was better to let her go before it hurts .
