Chapter 23

"Miyu-chan, I am going home now. It's already late. My mother must've been angry if I stay any longer." Yuuto looks at the clock that is hanging on the wall in the living room. The clock showed it was already 9:50.

"Yea, yea just go home already 'mommy good boy'." I teased him.

"Hey, do you know it's already late at night? It was 9:50 and I need to sleep early or else I won't be able to stay focus in the class." Yuuto packed his bag.

"Okay, okay. Let me walk you to the door." I offered.

I get up from the couch with my crutches. Slowly, I walked step by step towards the door.

"Here you go. Anyways, thank you for today and remember to come by here tomorrow or else I will be bored to death." I opened the door as Yuuto wears his shoes on the doorsteps.

"Ok, sure. Remember to sleep early and lock the door properly. Call me if you need anything, okay? I will always be there for you." Yuuto kissed my forehead.

"Thank you, Yuuto." I hugged him. It feels so safe whenever I hugged him like this.

Yuuto waves me goodbye as he walks down the streets heading towards his house. As soon as he disappears from my sight, I locked the front gate and the door.

Then, I went to the living room to watch the television. It was a good way to kill my time since I am not that sleepy yet. All of a sudden, breaking news was broadcasted on the channel that I am watching.

The reporter was live from the local police station. It was been told that a serial killer has escaped from the police custody. He might be in this area and we are advised to be super cautions until he was found.

"Dang! I hope that Touma and Yuuto have arrived safely at home. Maybe I should call them." I quickly take my mobile phone from the charger.

"Yuuto...Yuuto...Ha! There you are!" I pressed his contact number.

"....Moshi moshi~ Yamamoto-des," Yuuto answered.

"Oh hey, Yuuto-kun," I called out his name in relief.

"What's the matter Miyu? Is there anything you needed?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure you have arrived home safely since there breaking news saying that there is an escaped serial killer who is suspected to be around our neighbourhood area." I said as I lay down lazily on the couch.

"Yea, I just hear it from my mom. Miyu, remember to lock the door and your room too. Don't open to anyone no matter what okay." Yuuto advised me.

"Roger that~"

"I going to hang up because I need to take a shower now. Bye, see ya' tomorrow then. Good night."

"Bye and good night Yuuto-kun~" I hang up the call.

Laying down on the couch, I swipe through my contact to find Touma's number until I remember that I didn't get the chance to get his contact from him.

'Gosh, how come I didn't have his number... Miyu, you are so dumb! ' I slapped my forehead with my palm.

After some time, my eyes feel heavy. I look at the clock and notice it's already 11:25. I went to double-check that I have locked the front door. Then I walk around my house to check that all window and the back door are locked.

"I guess it's all locked. Now, let's go to bed." I murmured.

Slowly, I walk up to my room. I lock the door behind me. After I make sure it was fully locked, I walk towards the window to lock it. I let down the curtains after I have locked the window.

"Geez it was so dark, maybe I should open my table lamp." I reach out to my study table that is near my bed.

*Click!*

I turn on the lamp but it was so bright that flashed my eyes a bit. Then I adjust the brightness until it becomes a bit dim.

"Done! Now I can finally sleep in peace." I sit on my bed.

I let down my hair and ready to get into the bed. Covering myself with my blanket, I plug in my earphone into my ears. I scroll down my playlist to find my favourite song.

"Ha! There you are! " I exclaimed as I found I favourite boy band newest song, Dynamite by Behind The Scene.

As the melodious song was played through the earphone, I hum along with the rhythms since I enjoy the song so much. I remember that Yuuto also comes to like this boy band because I force him to listen to their songs every day in the school at lunch. I would force him to hear it together with me by sharing my earphone with him.

I giggled as I remembered that I accidentally sleep on his shoulder because I was so sleepy on that day. I also remember I drool on his shirt, I wonder if he stills remember it.

"I wonder if he still..."

"....if she still remembers that day she drools on me....." Yuuto whispered as he listens to the same song that Miyu listened on her phone.

Yuuto looks up to the sky through his window with his beaming green eyes. He smiled as he remembers how funny that her face was as she carelessly sleeps on his shoulder last year on the rooftop at lunchtime.

"How could she never notice my feelings towards her.... I love her so much that I have to get rid of everyone that's hurting her....." He flips through his notebook.

Yuuto goes through each page with some pictures that are attached to it. Almost every picture in his notebook was crossed with a red pen.

"He is gone by committing suicide, oh and he was terrified of my 'silly joke' that makes him having a heart attack. Sigh~ What a weak heart you have, Hiro-san?" He chuckled a bit as he looks at the picture.

"The reason for his death is a heart attack, but isn't it he is too young to have that illness? I guess the police are too lazy for a deeper investigation. What a poor little thing you are...." Yuuto murmured to himself with psychopathic expression.

*Sigh~*

"All of these people are just trash on this earth. How dare they try to hurt and bully my angel? For them to die this way is just... too merciful...." Yuuto said sadly as if he is not satisfied with it.
