@KunaiPrince Well it seemed like no one saw, that is. What Yosuke doesn't know is that someone did see, a certain liquor store employee to be exact. He's just not gonna say anything to anyone about it though.
Although, why does Hanamura have kunai in the first place? Now this is interesting.
Naoki obviously wouldn't notice the young lady leaning in a bit closer, he was too busy taking the money. As the brunette put the money in the cash register, he couldn't help but glance over at the ginger.
You can't place it, but she seems to look familiar to you somehow . . .
Her gaze locked upon his facial features as she leaned very little forward ; not to where heโd notice .
( ๐ญ : Definitely not sleeping much . . I can understand why between what happened to his sister , working , school . You really would be like this .)
The brunette nods at her response as he takes her chosen products and rings them up.
"Your total comes to ยฅ1,114."
You could have talked to her a bit more, y'know. I guess that's not important to you, huh?
The female wasnโt really in a rush so he honestly could of just remained in that state he was . Kabocha wouldnโt of minded just chatting with him for awhile . That is if he wanted to .
โ That would be nice , but take all the time you need .โ
"Yeah, there's been really nothing going on since . . . "
Naoki trails off as he thinks of his late sister's death. How long has it even been? Time has kind of became a blur to him. The brunette continues of course,
"-Nope, nothing new. Just work and sometimes school as usual."
The young woman's voice instantly brings him out of his glazed stupor. Naoki clenchs his jaw in shame before responding,
"Yeah, a little . . . "
His eyes widen in realization after a moment of silence. Crap! You're still working!
"Oh! U-um, may I ring these up for you, ma'am?"
Of course after a minute of her roaming around she would approach the counter where the boy was . Blink blink . She placed the small jerky bags on the counter .
โ Long day , huh ?โ
The young brunette glances over at the clock again, hoping that somehow time will miraculously go faster. Yeah, he would wish upon a million stars and that would still never happen. Naoki gives up with a sigh and spaces out. Yep, just a thousand yard stare. Just sitting there.
Oh . . She already forgot what she needed from here . Great job Kabocha . Now sheโs just wandering the store aimlessly . Well , that is until she would pick up a few bags of beef jerky . Once again looking confused .
He calls out the greeting "Welcome" in an apathetic tone. Guess he can't have that break yet. Naoki sighs through his nose. Hopefully this lady will be in and out quick.
And Insert Kabocha walking in almost as soon as his break even really starts . Staying rather silent as she entered the store . Well , besides the greeting .
โ Hi Hii ~โ
