 “Yo!” Jun heard from behind him and turned to find Haruki walking toward him.“Fancy meeting you here, you mind company?” He asked and Jun motioned to the empty bar stool beside him with his half full whiskey cup.Haruki sat down beside him and motioned for the bartender to give him the same.“Drinking after a rough night?” He asked“Yeah, I spent the last two days juggling between my office and the family company. We really need Iori there if I’m going to survive until next year…” Haruki complained.“She’s going to be there next Monday, so hang in there…” Jun said with a smile.“Yeah, thank god for that…” Haruki complained. “How did the deadline go?”“Barely made it on time. I swear to god every time this happens that I will be more organised next time but it always ends up hap

Haruki sat beside Iori’s bed in the hospital staring into space. Iori was sleeping, and it seems like all she did was sleep these days. Not that he was against it. She needed to recover and if sleep helped her with the pain, both physical and mental, she could rest all she wanted. After a few days, the doctor lowered her pain medication dosage and a hint of Iori’s true self was resurfacing back again. One morning she had looked at him when he entered the room and gave him a small smile. Haruki had felt like crying when he finally saw that small twitch of her lips. It's been two weeks since then and the investigation was reaching its end. Iori had asked about the progress steadily and was insisting he keeps her updated. It was the only thing she seemed driven about, she didn’t ask about anything and nothing seemed to be drawing her interest except for this. There was a knock on the door before it slid open. Kouru walked in looking like he rushed there. He had

 The car stopped in front of the shabby building that Iori clearly recognized. Her body had long gone rigid since they entered the neighborhood she had avoided for years now.Still, the sense of every calm within her told her that she was no longer in a state to feel anything but reflexive emotions…Handing the driver a bill, she stepped out of the cab when she heard a voice,“ It would be better for you not to go in there alone, young lady…” he said looking back at her through the separation glass, “ a respectable person like you shouldn’t be somewhere like this…”“Respectable, huh…” she mutteredShe wondered if he would still say that if he knew what she was about to do. What she had done in the past…“I don’t have a choice. And I promise to be careful.” Iori said with the sweetest smile.The older man sighed shaking

Everything was a blur. From the moment Iori had been pried out of his arms was a complete blur.When he’d seen the blood coming out of the wound on Iori’s side, it all came crashing like a big wave. She was injured, she was bleeding… Iori was bleeding.Trying to put pressure on the wound, he kept calling out her name but her eyes never opened. Her face got paler and paler and the blood wouldn’t stop flowing out.In his frenzied state, he carried her in his arms while still talking to her, begging her to hang on and not leave him. Iori couldn’t leave him. She just… couldn’t.Bright light hit him on the face and he couldn’t see anything for a moment, then a group of people came running toward him with scrubs and a chariot and they pried Iori out of his arms before he could even utter a word.He watched as they loaded Iori into the back of the ambulance and he took a step forward when he saw someone mo

 Iori fiddled with her hands as she watched the garden through the window in her room.Jun went to call her brother and tell him about her doubt. It irritated her that she couldn’t do anything, she was bedridden, and even if she tried to make them believe that she was alright to move around. Convincing them that she was okay with a hole in her side was edging over to the impossible category of things she could accomplish with a few arguments.Sighing, Iori leaned back on the mountain of pillows Jun had propped against her and closed her eyes.Jun’s face immediately came to mind.He had been so earnest when he came to stop her, so honest and sincere. Iori’s heart almost broke when he had cupped her face begin her to stop.Iori’s eyes opened and she felt her cheeks flaming when she remembered that momentsShe had been so full of cold rage that had simmered inside her for years. She could barely register Jun’s words. The
