Chapter Six

Late in the evening, Yuuki returned to his quiet household. His mother greeted him with a weak smile, like she always did since the news of wedding. Though it wasn't her best smile, she wanted to push away the thought of something that'll never happen.

"Welcome back, Yuuki." He nodded as he placed a kiss on his mother's cheek, this action shocked her a bit since he hasn't done that since she made him in elementary.

"What was that?" Yuuki shrugged as they walked into the living room where his father and brother sat watching the tv. "I guess I wanted to kiss my mother's cheek." an eerie feeling bubbles in Mrs. Irie stomach.

"She told me not to say this but,"

Yuuki watched his brother who kept staring at the TV taking in the news on the screen.

"I ran into Kotoko today." Everyone stood still as Yuuki went on "She and I talked, she is doing wonderfully." Mrs. Irie gasped.
