"It keeps bothering me..."

[Y/n], who was lying flatly on her bed stared blankly at the ceiling of her room. She's been doing that for what seemed like hours as the day Pah got arrested for stabbing Osanai passed more than just a day.

She knows that it was Pah will eventually get released after two years in the detention

"I hesitated ?" She murmured. She's been also repeating that short sentence, wondering or wracking her brains on why on earth did that come out of her mouth so abruptly.

'I've been feeling nothing but weird ever since I woke up.' She sighs out.

"Ah, geez." The teen groaned as she sat up on the soft mattress with a little rustling sound reaching her ears. "If only the memories of the original [Y/n] would just come and flow in my head, like right now."

She let out a long and deep sigh before ruffling and running her hand through her [h/c] locks on the side.

"That'd be incredibly helpful. It'd not just save myself from getting a headache but would also help in saving time." She grumbled out loud then suddenly came into eye contact with the brown bear stuffed toy inside her room.

She's been forgetting to ask her mother regarding the person that gave her such a cute but kind of large bear. Sometimes she'd go to sleep while hugging the said toy. It was just so soft and comforting.

It also helps her feel at ease when she's thinking about a lot of things too much ever since she woke up and came to know that she's in one of her favorite fiction world, not to mention that it was also one of the things that comforted her a lot when she's having frequent visits at the hospital or before getting a surgery on her heart...back at the real world she lived in.

Now, she's wondering how her little brother Akio and mother doing there.

"Akio's not a little boy there anymore..." she mumbled as she found herself hugging the soft bear tightly. "I'm sure he'll do a good job by being at mom's side and comforting her." Then the girl went silent as she buried her face in the bear's soft and fluffy chest.

"They're doing fine there, right..?" She asked a question that no one answered. Not even herself was capable of answering it confidently.

'They should be. With me now gone, there's no need for mom to overwork herself just to pay for my hospital bills. She's suffered a lot because of me...Akio, too. Besides I'm not only happy but also healthy in this world. I don't need to worry about my heart even after doing some heavy exercises.'

[Y/n] nods her head then smiled tenderly, though the little sadness in her eyes was still evident.

"Don't worry, you two." She softly said, imagining her mother and younger brother's smiling faces. "I'm happy here..."

After an hour or so had passed with the girl trying her best to clear her mind, it just wouldn't work as the moment she would do another question would randomly just pop up regarding the original [Y/n].

Coming up with a decision, she first changed her clothes and wore something more that was decent enough to use when outside. It may be simple but it it still looked stylish enough for other people's eyes or opinion.

Her solution for her problem was going to the park where she first encountered Seishu Inui after a day passed since she got discharged at the hospital due to still unknown reasons.

The female can't describe it the things she's feeling as the moment she steps foot in that place, she can't help but immediately feel light, at ease, and even happy.

Maybe it was because of the atmosphere there or maybe it's because the real [Y/n] was attached to that place...or maybe it's just because there were many fun memories there.

The female did see many drawings about certain people, some strangers while some were her friends. The place was for sure the park only in different places due to the background that was drawn in the paper.

'The [Y/n] in this world does share the same characteristics as me." She hums as she looks or scans for a good place where she can draw another masterpiece. 'Makes me feel goosebumps, not gonna lie.'

With a subtle smile on the girl's face when she finally started to draw after finally founding a good spot, she hummed a soft tune as she moved her hand with the pencil in hand. She sketched first the cute bird's figure on the paper before adding some shading or details on it.

She stayed on the same spot for hours as she kept on drawing after another. It felt nice to finally have ones head clear and just be in tranquility even if it's just for today.

"...She's not here today, too." Muttered a teenage boy with sharp eyes and wavy dark hair that was combined on the right side while on the left, it was trimmed and had three equal stripes.

And for someone who decided to go take a stroll while denying the fact that he's expecting to see someone, he's dressed quite handsomely for today.

Not like he isn't usually. Heck, even in his gang uniform he still looks good but today...

He's just dressed extra fashionably.

"She usually comes here on weekends and at this time, too." He continued to whisper and talk to himself. "What's got her so busy these days?" He hummed and starts to wonder before his expression darkened a little as he came to realize something.

"As a matter of fact why am I even bothering to look for her?" He mumbled confusedly. "She's the one who usually does that." The boy frowned.

"Why do I even have the urge to see...."

That was the well dressed and handsome young man's name. Sighing, after a moment of silence he exited the park as he's been there for a while and done nothing but walk, stay in the same place for about an hour then move to another.

"What the hell am I even doing?"

Heaving as he crossed the street, Koko finally felt the tiredness coursing through him and it made sigh again. He feels like he wasted his entire energy on absolute nothing.

"Of all the days..." he heard the familiar voice as soon as he passed the front door of a cafe, not minding the person that was about to leave at first but now it's got his attention.

"Why'd I have to forget my wallet." [Y/n] grumbled and lets out a small huff then turned around when she felt a pair of eyes staring her as if the person who was doing it was planting holes in her head.

But when she did turn, there was no one.

"...Am I being paranoid?" She muttered before shrugging it off and walking away.

'Why did I hide???' Koko asked himself with a hand on his chest in front of his loud thumping heart as he was bewildered by his own actions.

'Even if I approached her now she wouldn't recognize me.' Despite acknowledging the fact, he can't help the negative or bitter feeling he felt.

"Whatever." He scoffed as he gets out of his hiding, a visible frown now shown on his face that he even doesn't know when it got there.

His eyes caught sight of [Y/n]'s walking figure from the distance then he saw her sit down on a bench, open her sketchbook and start to draw.

No matter how much Koko denies it, he find hers elegant.

"Excuse me, miss?" The female who was busy with her sketch stopped and looked at the person who stood in front of her. A smiling and gentle looking adult woman handed her a cool drink.

"If you don't mind, we're giving out free samples to know if it's enough to be put in the menu." She informed softly while pointing her finger towards the place she works at. "Would you like to try?"

"Really?" [Y/n] asked with hopeful eyes that it looked like it was sparkling brightly which the woman found cute and nods her head in response.

"Oh, it's absolutely divine miss!" She chirped. "It's fresh and quite minty. It's a suitable drink for the season, summer." [Y/n] beamed as she takes a few more sips.

"Really? I'm glad to know that." The woman smiled tenderly then hands her a small plastic that obviously contains some good food due to how mouth watering it smelled.

"This serves as bonus. Thank you, young lady!" She giggled then dashed away, leaving a stunned [Y/n] as the woman didn't even let her have the chance to thank her too for such kindness and also generosity.

"She's a kind and lovely girl." Says the dark haired woman who just returned and went to take the payment of a teenage boy. "I get why you like her, dear customer."

Koko scoffs and takes his change which was coins before turning around to leave the place and also the woman who was smiling brightly.

"Thank you and please come again~!" Was the last thing he heard from the sweet woman as he stepped out.

Koko saw [Y/n] happily enjoying her free food because she practically stuffed her face full and before he knew it, he was smiling but as fast as it appeared it also disappeared in the same speed.

"Seriously." He sighed while scratching the back of his head. "What the hell am I doing?" After taking a quick look at the orange sky, he finally left but with mixed feelings.

"There's no way I like her."

"They should've made up by now." [Y/n] mumbled then stands up from her seat and stretched her arms above her head.

"Ah, [n/n]!" Chirped Mikey at the immediate sight of her and stopped playing with the ball to run to her.

"Where were you for almost an entire day?" He pouted as Draken approaches you too to greet you with a grin on his face, Emma, too.

"I came to visit but you weren't there." Mikey huffs like a child.

"I was out on a date." The female nonchalantly replied while her friends' expression were completely different from hers.

"Who was it?"

"Who's the lucky person?!"

Emma and Mikey both bursted out with furrowed brows while Draken wears his usual expression.

"You were out being lovey dovey with someone, whose probably not even as pretty as me, while I was lonely and sad?!" Mikey dramatically exclaims.

"Well, I didn't wanna get involved in your fight." A lie that [Y/n] came up with just now. "Besides you two made up now, haven't you?" They nodded their head making her smile.

"I'm glad." While Mikey stared at her with a certain look on his face, Draken almost let out a scoff while Emma covers her brother's eyes.

"Peek-a-boo." Emma grinned while Mikey irks at her for blocking his view.

"So, who was it?" Draken asked, repeating the question as it wasn't still answered. His dark eyes stared straight at [Y/n]'s, as if he was staring right into her very soul and it almost made her shiver.

"Me." She simply replied making for the three and even the others who was secretly listening to deadpan an expression or simply sweat drop.

"Anyways, you must be Hina-chan." The girl leaves the three to approach a cute girl beside Takemichi. "I heard about you from Emma, and your cuter than what I imagined you to be, not to mention also pretty." She grinned while the short haired girl could feel her cheeks heating up.

"Nice to finally meet you, Hina-chan. I'm [Y/n]." Said girl nods her head as she felt shy all of sudden. "I've also heard about you from Emma-chan, and nice to me you, too, [Y/n]-chan." [Y/n] smiled kindly before turning to the girl's boyfriend.

"How lucky, Takemitchy." She teased which alarmed the boy. "Anyways, I wanna play too!" The female walked towards the mizo mid crew with sparkling and expectant eyes.

"Can I join?" With red cheeks, Yamagishi enthusiastically replied on behalf of his friends. "Of course! Go ahead."

"Thanks, cutie!" [Y/n] replied back in the same energy which left them wondering if the rumors about her being a cruel person was true.

"Y-Yes! No problem, my queen!" Yamagishi almost squealed as his face turned completely red while his friends gave him a weird look.

It felt it was yesterday that their dear friend was telling them to not get bewitched by her beauty and sweet smile, yet here their friend was...

Seemingly head over heels already that he even called her queen which [Y/n] found quite pleasing for her ears to hear but told the boy with glasses to just call her by her name which he instantly complied.

While Takemichi on the other hand wondered who was that girl and what happened to her. The one he met during the fight of Moebius, [Y/n] kept a dark look and annoyance in her face while the [Y/n] in front of him was smiling brightly and even somewhat sweetly.

"Are they twins...?"

"Dude, I'm in love." The love struck Yamagishi sighs dreamily as he watch [Y/n] struggle to run while trying to keep the ball in the same direction.

"Yeah, we can see that." Makoto replied in a deadpan voice making Takuya to sweat drop while their leader, Akkun tries to help and give the female some advice.

'Well, now that I've stopped them from fighting. Toman's inner conflict won't happen.' Takemichi thought and takes a quick glance of the [h/c] girl who stopped playing and instead just went to chat with the other two girls as she found soccer quite difficult to play and just let the boys do it.

Though, Yamagishi and Makoto were playing their own game while Draken simply stood and watched Mikey play soccer with the mizo mid crew.

'All that's left to do now is to save [L/n]-san from that crazy guy.'
