We walked around the mall for a while to look for things to buy. Both of us were still not very hungry.

It's simple, but after we get what we want, there's a good Japanese restaurant we chose to eat at.

That's right—we both enjoy sushi.

After a simple dinner with Lily, we were both tired from the day's work and spinning, so we decided to go home.

She rode a taxi home. I offered her a ride, but she refused.

I massaged my nape when the car stopped in the middle of heavy traffic.

I was just on my way home and feeling a little dizzy. I just stopped because I might have had an accident on the road extremely slow traffic flow.

I was holding my neck tightly when my phone rang.

I made sure the contents weren't moving before I reached for the bag and picked up my phone.

Mommy's calling.

I put the call on loud speaker and put the phone back in my bag. It can be heard even inside.

"Hello, mom?"

"Hello, Aya." Where are you? It's already late." She was worried about me.

I'm on my way home, mom. Don't worry about me; I'm on my way home. I'm just stuck in traffic.

But I'm already on my way; this will take about fifteen minutes. "

I heard her sigh.

"That's good. Have you had dinner yet?" she asked.

"Yes, mom. I had dinner with my secretary a while ago. Are you? Daddy just came home? "

I heard her weak sighs. I'm sure she's stressed from work. "Your daddy and I just came from a meeting." She paused a little. Oh, hey, all right. Maybe something else will happen to you there. You're using the phone on the road again. You might have an accident. "No, mommy. I put my phone on loudspeaker; it's in my bag. All right, mommy, the traffic is moving. I'll be home in fifteen minutes. Bye. "

"Be careful."

I just let her turn off the call and just continued driving.

In less than fifteen minutes, I was home.

The guard opened the door for me when I blew the horn. I slowly entered the car and parked.

When my car was properly parked, I quickly pulled out the box. I was carrying papers that I had not finished before. Two housemates met me and took the box from me.

"Thank you, Please just bring it to my room and I'll finish it later before I go to sleep."

The two nodded and entered.

I walked slowly, probably because I was tired and drowsy.

"What a tiring day," I whispered to myself.

A cold wind blew through my messy hair.

I was not wearing my coat, so I could feel the touch of the wind on my skin.

I looked around.

It was a bit dark in the parking lot, so my hair stood on end right away.

Trying hard not to scream, I decided to walk faster while slightly looking at my back to make sure no

One's with me. I know I'm just being paranoid, but I can't help it.
