CHAPTER XXII: TOP ONE ACE

Third person's POV,

A guy walks into a manga shop with a sullen look. The bitterness on his face is evident because he was only forced by his sister to run errands for her.

It made him frown even more when he entered the shop and see it was crowded with customers. He straight went to the horror section to find the manga that his sister asked him to buy for her.

He got there, surprised by whom he just saw. An unexpected familiar person, busily browsing with her eyes on the shelves.

Am I seeing her right now, again? He asked himself inside his mind.

Standing right there just like a statue while watching her. The naive girl still didn't notice that someone is already gazing intently at her. Her eyes are completely fixated on the books.

The annoyance that he felt from earlier suddenly fades and changes.

He finally moves to stand closer beside her while she is still occupied by the books.
