Running away

After calming down, Izumi goes to a nearby grocery store to buy some ice cream before heading home.

He shut the main gate quietly to not disturb anyone. He then goes straight to his sister room,

" I am sorry for all the mess I made before", Izumi said while looking down.

"It's okay, I'm not angry", Yanagi said to Izumi with a smile.

"But what mom said wasn't all wrong, you're already 23 but still just fooling around in cartoons and novels, Isn't it enough as you just giving excuses to land a proper and stable job".

Yanagi said with a serious face !.

But I don't know what I want to do or what's my passion, "Izumi said with dull eyes".

But have you ever tried to talk to us or even your friends about this, say ???

"Yanagi said to Izumi with a sharp tone".

after a bit of silence, "I won't let that happen again and I'll find a good job as fast as possible",

Izumi said with determination.

"Okay", Yanagi said as she turned around and start working again.

Izumi left the ice cream on Yanagi's desk and return to his room, and he and his brother Tanaka share their room !.

"Food was really tasty," Tanaka said sarcastically.

*\0/*.

Izumi didn't say anything and goes to his bed with headphones on.

"Since childhood, he never sticks to one particular game or hobby even in studies, he never learned or gave his hundred percent in any subject,

Though he loved playing baseball and basketball after being doing the same thing for some time he just gives up on things even though he finds them interesting or he just runs away from things".

Ignoring things, activities, and so all dreams are all his shit he just made as an excuse to run away from all the questions.

Tanaka said to himself.

On the other hand, Tanaka has a good stable job and even bears Masa's expenses too so, he has a good solid reason to mock Izumi.

The next day Yanagi comes to Izumi's room to talk about his future,

What do you want to do now? "Yanagi asked frankly"

I don't know! "Izumi said",

What about the job? " Yanagi asked again"

I am trying! "Izumi said",

(Even though he just ignores all the emails and calls from companies and recruiters).

Oh, you're trying then why we can't see any progress,

"Yanagi said in a serious tone".

"Izumi said nothing and rolled his eyes down".

Okay! "Yanagi said and went back to her room without saying anything.

From the mindset of it'll be fun to it's boring, the view of enjoying yourself to suffering,

people usually change from it'll be a new experience to the imposition on themselves which gradually make them suffer till the end.

The same phenomenon happens with Izumi, where to loves to explore things, activities to shut down his emotions in suffering.

'His sister said to her mom'.

'Even though he said he won't feel like doing his job or anything but how could he just say this without even doing that. Isn't it just an excuse to run away from his responsibilities as an adult".

'mom said to Yanagi'.

I don't even know what he is thinking now,

'Yanagi said'.

Next day,

"I'll be back by 9, Izumi said as he went out after breakfast".

He went straight to a company called "LIFE SOLUTIONS",

for the interview as a part-timer.

An interviewer is an old man somewhere around 45-50 of age and has a bright smile and well-trimmed beard 'Izumi said as he saw him coming towards him quietly'.

Hello Izumi, 'Interviewer said'.

Hello sir, 'Izumi answered'. After having all queries answered,

so, it's your first job?

"Interviewer asked"

Yes sir!

"Izumi answered".

so, what were you doing before this?

"Interviewer asked",

Sir I was just trying to figure out what I want to do!

"Izumi answered",

Okay so, how did you figure out things then?

"Interviewer asked",

Sir, like I said it's not my first job so I usually just try doing things, and if I don't feel any satisfaction then I just leave it!

I see "The interviewer said with a sigh".

Look, Izumi people don't just go and do whatever they like sometimes we have to compromise our dreams because the situations demand us, even here in our company I won't say all but some just doing this job for money and money is a very main factor in all our life.

Even though you are not working but you have your daily needs and expenses, so as your senior I can just say this at least take care of your own expenses and needs and I know every person need time to adjust to the new environment and work but you should try and, and if you not getting anywhere then try talking to your family because no one can give you better advice then them.

I hope you reach your goal soon and get a better future, "Interviewer said with a smile and left the room".

He's more lika a college professor than the Interviewer, " Izumi said while laughing".

Yo uncle aunt !

oh Izumi , what a surprise it's been ages since I saw you ,

hmmm, you became more handsome now ,

:0

"Aunt said with laughter*.

Izumi greets Mio's parents and went to their house

They own a family restaurant and they runs the whole restaurant themselves, which is 2 building away from their house.

Izumi used to come here since he was child , he took some snacks and cold drinks from kitchen and went to Mio's room.

Mio was sleeping mindlessly and he could see everything through her clothes,

"Izumi coughed and put blanket on her while looking back".

Hey, dumbo wake up ,

"Izumi yelled loudly".

Don't distrub me mom,

"Mio yelled back".

Izumi's waiting for you,

"Izumi said in soft voice".

Ahh really, Mio woke up and saw Izumi looking at her annoyingly.

What the hell are you doing in a girl room and watching her asleep, you pervert.

"Mio said while covering herself with blanket",

I'm not interested in 2D girls, "Izumi said while sipping cold drink.

Get ready fast let's go to the mount fuji, Izumi said and goes down to kitchen.
