You were just sitting quietly at your class.. Waiting for the class to start.. When finally, your homeroom teacher came but with a white haired, pale skinned boy around your age, wearing your school uniform.

The class greeted your teacher and he introduced the boy..

"I'm Hiro Yamanu" He said and head straight to an empty sit that is beside you..

You observed him and his bag looks empty.. He wore his earphones, probably listening to a music on his phone..

He caught you looking at him so you tried your best to look at another direction. You felt that he was kind of strange.. Now that you saw that he has mint green colored eyes and whitish-pinkish colored hair..

Luckily the day has ended quickly but you wished it never did.. As so you didn't want to get home.. But you need to. So you halfheartedly left the school..

As soon as you came in your house, your mother welcomed you with constant nagging.. You're just thankful that your father hasn't come back yet or he'll beat the best out of you and your mother again..

You ignored your mother and headed straight to your room..

Ever since your father lost his family company, he became a drunkard and your mother became a worrywart..

So you're basically living in hell.. Every night, you're crying. You've tried killing yourself but fear of death kept on stopping you.. You want to die but is afraid.. You're living with constant pain and agony.

Your night has always been in silent chaos until you get tired and then again when tomorrow comes, you need to deal with life.. It's just a cycle.

Until you decided to run away from home with your saved money.. You didn't know where you will go but you eagerly wanted to escape that place..

As when you were running, you bumped across Yamanu. You fell off the ground but he remain standing. You looked into his eyes and saw how empty it looks. You ignored it and continued on running but he held your arms and stopped you..

You can hear your own panting as you frown. You can see your mother's figure.. It is still far but she might be able to catch you if you stayed longer

"Let me go.. Please.." You almost cried as you begged him

"Don't you want to escape from this filthy world?" He suddenly uttered

You were surprised as this is the first time you heard him talk after he introduced himself months ago..

You saw him smirk as he held your hand

"I will help you ease the pain.. This is an angel invitation.. To paradise. Will you come with me?" For the very first time, you saw him with a smile. Ever since he transferred schools, you haven't saw him change his facial expression 'til today..

You unconsciously nodded while some tears fell down from your cheeks..

He then started to drag you away from that place..

You both saw a man with a bicycle.. Yamanu stopped the both of you running, just to steal the bike away from him.. He rode it with you.. You heard him laugh when he heard the man's voice, trying to stop you.

You didn't know why but his laugh seems contagious and that made you laughed too.. You've never laughed like that for a long time..

"Thank you" You said with a smile..

~~

You finally stopped and you were at an abandoned mansion in the middle of a forest.. or so you thought it was abandoned..

He got down the bicycle so you followed him..

You were at the front door when he suddenly pinned you on it..

He looked straight at you, and looked surprised for a bit. But he eventually smirked. You were trying to escape but he has managed to stop you.

"W-why..?" You asked, shivering

"You're pretty cute" He stated.. But it made you nervous because a very mischievous smile has appeared before his mouth.

He held your chin up and slowly moved his face to yours.. You can hear your heart beat as he comes closer.. You were so nervous that you closed your eyes.. You're just waiting for what will he do next but..

"Welcome, to paradise" You heard him whisper and when you opened your eyes, he's already inside the mansion.

You were dumbfounded but thankful.. You shook your head as you thought he would do something insolent but he didn't..

"Come in" He stretched his hands towards you and so you accepted it.

The mansion's interior is very different from its exterior. It looks old and shabby but if you've entered in, it looks like a castle. You can't even think of a logical explanation of it.

He let you see your room and left you there.. He said that you could eat if you want to and teach yourself about the surroundings.. So you just nodded..

You lie down your bed.. You noticed that it was designed as a woman's bedroom.. It has pastel colors and stuff toys.. And there are also dresses in the closet already..

You thought of how messed up you were and how you are now.. You thought that this are all surreal.. You don't even know why Yamanu helped you..

You closed your eyes and quickly drifted to sleep...
