Chapter 11 - Sudden change

After Chizuru calms herself down we start exchanging contact numbers. Then the bell rang so we went back to class together. While going up the stairs we came across Kumi who saw us. Her expression changed to sadness. She turned away and ran back to class. I notice that Kumi has been off ever since we came back from the field trips. It's like she's trying so hard to put up a smile but is not doing a really great job at it.

After school Kumi immediately goes home. After that, I started getting suspicious that she might have the wrong idea. Usually she either asks me to go home together with her or asks me to go somewhere with her, as she was on her way back home I was getting anxious and curious, wanting to know what was going on inside her head. The weather started to turn for the worst, it was raining but I didn't care and I ran after her. I was halfway there when I saw Kumi in a convenience store finding shelter. We made eye contact and she came outside and I ran to her.

"Are you stupid! Running through all this rain is gonna get you really sick you know! Why did you do that!?"

As she continued pestering me, I looked through my backpack and brought out an umbrella and gave it to her.

"You forgot this"

"Oh, ahh…yes I must've left it under my desk. I'm…sorry. And thank you."

And finally she smiled for the first time today, albeit slightly. I'm guessing she was probably sad because we haven't spent much time together ever since I was sick. I thought that I should spend more time with her, since we haven't talked much like we used to before we became a couple. So I tried my best to make her not think negatively about our relationship. As we leave the convenience store sharing an umbrella like a couple, we finally get to spend time together like a real couple and not two old childhood friends. When we got home, Kumi's parents hadn't arrived home yet, so the house was locked. I offered her to come over to my house instead, she nodded, and we continued to walk under the umbrella together, while chatting a bit on the way there. After we walked into the house, she asked me about my parents.

"Are your parents outside of the country again?"

"Yeah…they said they'll come back in 2 months, but I not to sure if I should believe that"

"I see…"

"You can use the bathroom in my room and I'll prepare a set of clothes for you. I can use the downstairs bathroom."

She entered my room, and was surprised to see it was tidy because everytime she came over it was always messy. She sat down on my bed, as I took out a set of clothes from the closet. I gave it to her and also a towel as well.

"Alright so you can use my soap and shampoo. I'll go down and bring you a new body washer."

"No you don't need to do that I can use yours"

She said with a really red face. I was caught off guard and didn't expect her to say that, and my face was turning red too. Things become awkward for a few minutes, so I tried to gather up some courage to break it.

"Well o-okay then, I'll t-t-take a shower downstairs and then I-I'll go c-o-cook us dinner."

"Mmhmm…y-yeah t-thanks" she said while still being embarrassed.

After I finished taking a shower downstairs, I went back to my room to ask what she wanted for dinner. Only to see her on my Computer looking emotionless and spacing out. I called out to her multiple times and got no response in return. I decided to go up to her and tap her on the shoulder. She got startled and turned to me while breathing a sigh of relief when she saw it was only me. I was getting suspicious again and wanted to know what's on her mind.

"Kumi what would you like to eat for dinner"

"I'm not hungry is fine"

I can't stand seeing her looking all depressed. I kneeled down and decided to just ask her.

"Kumi you have been acting a little off lately, and you're not being yourself. I notice it and I don't like it. Tell me what is bothering you or…is it me?"

"..."

"Kumi, please I'll listen to whatever you have to say anything please, you have no idea how hurt I am seeing you looking like this"

"....ok…I'll…I'll tell you, but first I want you to go sit on the bed and close your eyes"

I listened to her and sat on the bed with my eyes closed. Kumi called out to me

"You can open your eyes now"

I slowly opened my eyes to see Kumi in her undertop. I freaked out and was about to ask what she's doing, but before I could even ask, I found myself already laying on the bed as Kumi was on top of me and asking me to be her first. I was completely frozen and couldn't do anything, while Kumi started crawling down and then slowly unzipped my pants. I remember the last time she was on me, but that time she was just trying to tease me. This time ,however, she's doing it for real. She's about to take off my underwear but I stopped her and grabbed her by hand, lifting her and putting her on the bed. I got on top of her and saw her closing her eye as fully prepared as if she were expecting me gonna do it with her, I shouted

"What the hell is this KUMI!!? Wake up this isn't you Kumi please stop being weird! You're so lame right now, do you know that!?"

Kumi's expression changed and tears start flowing out of eye.
