The lovely sound of birds started to tickle my ears , making the sun rays filter trough the window of my room.
*drin driiiin* the sound of alarm then joined the harmony , making me almost jumping from my bed.
I finally woke up and turned it off.
My body felt much lighter and , after realizing that I was awake, i quickly took a look around me.
No sign of Hina…
"Where is she…?" I said to myself , in a worried tone of voice.
The alarm was set on 7:30 A.M.
Way too early.
But the strangest thing was that I didn't set it…
I checked my phone to see if there was some kind of message from Hina, but nothing.
Then, a wave of embarrassment spread trough all my body after I remembered what happened during the night.
Me and Hina did it.
I was no longer a virgin; Instead, i became a man…
I still couldn't believe it.
But then, i also became scared.
I thought that Hina left me because of my bad performance… I didn't want something like that.
"Aaaaaah!!! Damn…! What if i was really bad??" I said while putting my hands on my face and looking down.
Then, i took a rapid look at the phone and grabbed it.
"Okay… I think I need to send a message to her."
But in the same moment that i opened her chat, the door of my room opened.
I saw Hina standing there, dressed with a school outfit, the one that we always wear at school.
She was holding a tray with lots of food on it.
"Good morning, darling!!!" She exclaimed with a very happy and lovely tone of voice while showing me the tray.
"W-wha-…" I said while my eyes were widening in surprise.
I didn't expect something like that.
Doing these kind of things was… lovely.il
I always wanted someone to prepare breakfast for me… and the only time that happens was last year when Hana did it for me.
"This is a breakfast that i prepared for you, my darling… I poured all my precious love for you here…" she added, while proudly placing the tray next to me.
Hina then got closer to me and spoke, with an excited tone of voice.
"W-what do you think…? It's the first time for me to do something like that…" she said with a little blush on her face.
I was too stunned to speak but then , some words came out.
"It's… amazing, Hina… but why did you do something like that?" I asked, with a lovely tone.
Hina gave me a rapid kiss on my lips and then caressed my cheek.
"W-well… I just… felt like… I wanted to do this…" she said, trying to avoid my gaze.
She was a little bit embarrassed since she wasn't used to do these things.
This probably was her first time.
I then smiled at her and chuckled plaufully.
"T-Thank you, Hina…" I said, while giving her a headpat.
She closed her eyes for some seconds, enjoying my touch.
"Hehe…" she giggled.
I must admit that she was really cute…
Then, she took a look at the clock and noticed the time.
"Oh, goodness!! I'm going to be late for school!!" She said while getting away from me.
"Kai, I think that i need to go to school… i didn't check the time… I'm so dumb sometimes… I even forgot that you have some other free days…" she said, while gently grabbing something on the floor.
It was her school bag.
"Oh… so you're leaving now?" I asked her , with a glimpse of sadness in my voice.
A part of me didn't want her to leave, but at the same time i knew that i had to respect her commitments.
And i also knew that i still had to do other investigations and to talk with Sakura-San.
"I'll come here after school , okay? Tell me how the breakfast is when you'll finish it, okay~?" Hina said with a lovely smile before reaching the exit of my room.
"Okay… I'll text you about it, Hina." I said with a smile.
She then gave me another quick kiss and walked away, waving me a goodbye.
"See you later , darling!!" Hina said.
She had a small pout on her face.
Hina clearly didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with me… maybe.
After some seconds, i heard the sound of my main door closing.
I took a look at the time and saw that the clock was saying "7:42".
It was still to early and I yawned, sign of my tiredness.
I had a very "passionate" night , enough to make me burn all my energies.
But before sleeping, i had to eat Hina's breakfast.
I took a better look at the tray and saw that she prepared two chocolate croissants, a cup of hot chocolate , a couple of cookies and even a heart shaped mini-chocolate.
Such a lovely thing.
I ate all of that in a very short time and everything was really delicious.
Hina was behaving like the perfect wife , the one you only find in movies and fictional stories.
But… something still felt off.
Maybe it was because everything was happening too quickly, or maybe because she was forcing herself to be like this.
Only time would've given me the answers I needed.
After the breakfast ended, i sent a quick text to Hina, telling her that the breakfast was delicious.
No reply from her.
"How strange… Hina usually very quickly when i send her messages…" i said to myself , scratching the back of my head.
I took advantage of that and headed directly to the bathroom to take a morning shower.
I was still a lot sleepy and when i got up, i felt my body hurting in some places.
A shiver ran trough all my spine, remembering all the things that happened yesterday, from the moment of the aggression to the one where me and Hina had our first time together.
Before heading into the shower, i took a look at myself in the mirror and noticed the bruises on my face and body.
"How could somebody hurt this beautiful face of mine…?" I said with a sarcastic tone, trying to forget everything.
After that, i took a shower and i started to think about various things while water was flowing on my body, gently caressing my skin.
First of all, i had to call Sakura-San to tell her about what happened and about the letter.
"Ah. Wait a second." I thought , while my eyes widened.
"Where did I put the letter?" I said, while a shiver of fear ran trough all my body.
"What if Hina read it?! Oh my god… I'd be dead…" I said, while panicking a little.
"Hina must never read that… otherwise she'd know that I'm investigating on her…!" I kept thinking.
Maybe i had to stop peeking into her past, trying to figure out who she was.
I was walking straight into the danger.
The small events that happened already showed me a glimpse of what i was getting into.
I could simply end all my investigations and enjoy my relationship with Hina, forgetting about everything and not asking further questions about her past, or trying to figure out what really happened in all the cases where Hina was involved.
But a part of me, still felt that i had to help Hina to accept her past, to make her learn about her mistakes… i sometimes felt that she was suffering, trying to suppress her feelings.
This happened in multiple occasions, like when she bursted out in that crisis, or when she threatened me after an attack of jealousy…
Loving Hina as my girlfriend and the girl who could be my future wife would have meant to love every single side of her , even the bad ones.
I was still under the shower when i had all these thoughts.
Well, everyone become a philosopher when they are taking a shower.
"I think i have made my decision now…" i said to my self with a mix of determination and fear.
"I'm gonna save Hina and make her accept her past. Im gonna resolve all those murder cases and I'm also going to help Sakura-San." I said, while clenching my fists.
But I forget to mention Detective Saito.
He was on Hina's traces, trying to find anything he could to put her in jail.
Despite this being a good thing since he was doing it for the safety of people , i vowed myself to prove Hina's ""not complete"" innocence.
I needed answers and i needed to protect my friends.
Then, after all these moments, i finally got out from the shower and dried my hair.
I grabbed some light clothes to walk around my home.
I was still scared to be alone, but i also knew that the aggressors who tried to "punish" me were scared of Hina, so i was safe in certain ways.
But… i also knew that Hina could be my greatest love and my greatest danger at the same time.
If the voices about the fact that she killed her ex-boyfriend were real, that would have meant that she could also kill me in a matter of seconds.
I saw a glimpse of her true nature with my eyes and it was scary.
So, i started to look around the house to check the letter that i found outside my home since i didn't remember where i put it.
I started to walk nervously around the house and i kept checking all the possible places where i could put the letter but with no success.
I didn't find anything and my anxiety started to rise a little.
But then, i took a rapid look in the trash can into the kitchen, and noticed that it was there.
I didn't remember that i throwed it in the trash but i was too nervous back then so i probably forgot.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Then, i heard my phone ringing from the other room.
Surprised, i walked there , wondering who could be.
I grabbed the phone and my eyes widened after I read the message.
"Hey, Kai. It's me, Sakura. We urgently need to talk. Please call me now." The text said.
But more than that , how did she get my number…?
I had the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
