"Shizu.. Shizu.." Mika whispered while shaking Shizu's shoulder gently. Shizu raised her head and rubbed her eyes. How could she fall asleep in the library.
"You should really stop dreaming about Ryeowook." Mika said while pointed her chin to a magazine on the table.
Shizu replied with a wide grin. She came to the library to study for her exam but ended up reading a magazine. On the cover, there were 5 familiar faces that she saw 1 month ago.
Until this very moment, she still had not heard about Lee Changhyuk and Han Ryeowook. The internet and newspaper did not help. No media reported about the RB club incident. Even the press conference that was supposed to be held 3 weeks ago to announce the continuity of their contract was canceled without clear reason. Did they get disbanded?
Has Lee Changhyuk gotten better?
Has Han Ryeowook sorted his problem?
"You sure about cleaning up your place? Won't your foot hurt?" Mika took a glance at Shizu's ankle. The long wavy haired girl chuckled.
"Yeah Mika, I am reopening my house for RoomBnB. I have already 2 guests booking for tomorrow night. You'll help me, right?"
"Yeah of course, why do you think I'm here?"
"Yay! I'll buy you food."
It's been one month since her vacation in South Korea ended. She had been studying for her exam as she really wanted to get into Business School. Also, she could already walk without crutches, she just had to do it slowly.
Mika took Shizu's bag then walked her home. Shizu was not born in a famous wealthy family, but her family was pretty well off. Her father was a director of a big company and she wanted to be like her dad. That's why she studied a lot to get accepted in a business school.
The Katagiri family owned a nice house in Tokyo and some other properties in Japan. As the only daughter of the family, Shizu refused to leave Tokyo with her family and insisted on going to the most prestigious business school in Tokyo.
Her over protective father gave in and let her manage the house as a part of business management training. He trusted her as Shizu had always been a smart and responsible girl. That's how she ended up living alone.
"Sasuke said that Kira was in town yesterday. He met with some of our friends." Mika said while taking the groceries out of the bag. Sasuke was their ex-classmate who went to the same medical school as Mika.
Shizu stopped her movement for awhile before she continued doing the dishes.
"Really? Sounds fun."
"Do you still wanna see him?"
"I owe him an apology."
"It wasn't your fault, Shizu. He didn't even try to explain anything to you."
"It doesn't change the fact that I hurt him."
"But you were hurt too."
Shizu forced a smile. A glimpse of guilt ticked Mika's chest. She really should have not brought that up again. Especially when Shizu had decided to move on. She needed to change the topic.
"Why did you lease the empty rooms on RoomBnB? Aren't there a lot of other similar Japanese websites that allow you to lease your room short term and long term?" Mika asked.
"Well, RoomBnB is very popular abroad so most of my guests are foreigners. I like talking to them as I get to practice my english." Shizu answered with a shrug.
"Are they cute? Where do they normally come from?"
Shizu did not answer, she looked at her phone with a serious face.
"Sorry Mika, it's just that Ayu told me that she was coming but still no news from her. I tried to message her but no reply. That's very unlike her. Do you think she's ok?"
"It must be her work. Don't you know that her fashion label will provide the costumes for the upcoming variety show by the Queen of Series, Yui Shidoh? She must be very busy now."
"Yui Shidoh? She'll be in a variety show!?"
Ding Dong
