Big Room

"They really casted Kumo Bell!? I'm sorry Shizu, I swear I didn't know! They said they would invite a Korean boyband to do the show with Yui Shidoh!" Ayu exploded after hearing a complete report from Shizu.

Shizu chuckled, they've been talking for quite some time over the phone.

The petite girl continued.

"Are you okay though?" She sounded worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be waiting for your email. I'm hanging up."

Shizu threw herself on the bed then stared blankly at the ceiling before slapping her cheeks with her palms. The sight of Kira's cold back haunted her mind. She took out her phone then went to see her contact list. She looked at Kira's phone number, wanting to press the call button but she knew that he blocked her.

The sound of a closing door snapped her back into reality. It must have been her guests from RoomBnB. It was 8pm. Shizu allowed the guests to use the kitchen during their stay as she only provided them with breakfast.

Shizu's house was a two storey, it also had a small and lovely backyard. There were 4 bedrooms in that house, her room was located on the second floor along with her parents' whereas the 2 remaining rooms were on the first floor.

The size of her parents' room was so big that she was obliged to put a high price per night. As the result, the big room was always empty.

At the current time, Shizu was hosting a couple from Ireland and a businessman from China. She only met the guests during the check in, and she always left early after preparing breakfast for them so, she had not had a proper conversation with her guests. She then decided to get up and went downstairs to greet her guests.

The ones who were in the Kitchen were the Irish couple. Shizu greeted them in English and conversed with them. They were a friendly couple who spent their honeymoon in Tokyo.

"So, do you like Tokyo?" Shizu asked.

"Yeah, we love it! We would love to extend our stay here but too bad your rooms are all fully booked so we'll have to move out." The wife said.

Shizu giggled then took out her phone.

"That's impossible. I always have one empty room..." She did not finish her sentence as she saw the RoomBnB app on her phone.

For the very first time, the big room was booked! And not only the big room, the two smaller rooms on the first floor were also booked. Shizu raised her brow, the three rooms were all booked for one month under one name. The name was written in Hangul (1) so she could not read it.

Shizu squinted her eyes. Was it a scam? She checked her email and she received a full advanced payment and deposit for the three rooms.

Wow. The big room was so spacious and full of antiques, she had to put a high price because cleaning it required too much efforts and the decor had to be insured. The price for the small room on the first floor was quite high and the big room's price was three times the small room. She deliberately put a high price so that no one would rent it.

Was it even a high season, that's why people were desperate to find a place? Nope, not really.

Was it because the house was situated in a good neighborhood? Probably, but there were definitely more prestigious neighborhoods out there with more reasonable price.

Monthly stay was possible and the price was negotiable. There was a chat room feature in RoomBnB app that allowed the guests to contact the host for negotiating and enquiring further info. Who would book her 3 rooms and stayed for 1 month without checking anything first?

Shizu collected herself and grinned at the Irish couple who looked at her with full of hope.

"You are right. I don't have room available on your requested date. Anyway, just send me an email when you are returning to Tokyo. Lets keep in touch."
