Ch XVII

"Y-You!" I gasped. This person in front of me was ABSOLUTELY the LAST thing on earth I would wanted to see. Spiders come before this guy!

"Hello, Lilith. Haven't seen you in...3 years. Glad you still recognize me." He was speaking English, I spent a lot of time in Hong Kong so I'm fluent in English.
"What do you want now?" I sneer at him. He was clearly at the verge of loosing it, but he managed to keep a smile, "come on, you still haven't forgot about that?"

His name is Juro Oyan, my last boyfriend. It was thanks to him that I finally gave up on finding 'true love'. I've been scarred many times before, but he was like a fire arrow shooting mercilessly into my heart.

Then, loosing his patience, he picked me up bridle style. I punched at his jaw, but he easily caught my arm. I kept on struggling, even harder when his face neared mine. Can't believe how rotten his heart is when he has such a pretty face. I start to kick his thighs, but he seems to be wearing some kind of protection.

"Eeeekk!" I finally screamed when his lips touched the edge of my mouth.

Third person's POV

Atsumu: *looks at phone* "Lillie says she'll be here within ten minutes."
Kenshi: "when's that text sent?"
Atsumu: "o.o uh...fifteen minutes ago...."
Takuto: "Beardless, you idiot."
Riki & Hiro & Kenshi: "we'll go look for her."

"There!" Kenshi says when they heard distance screaming.
"Only she can scream that loud and people within a block could hear." Riki mumbled while running.

They arrived to see an unfamiliar man holding Lillie against a brick wall, he ran off as soon as he noticed people coming.

He said 'I'll be seeing you again'. Lillie thought as she lost consciousness and has been lifted onto Kenshi's back.

Hiro: "who was that guy?"
On their way back to LRN, Kenshi carried her while Hiro and Riki are at either side.
Riki: "Dunno, never seen him before."

"What the hell happened?!" Takuto yelled when they arrived.

"A strange guy, a brick wall and this woman." Riki said before taking out the first aid kit.
Kenshi: "she has a few scratches on her arms."

"Somebody needs to stay with her tonight." Atsumu said after the quick treatment. Takuto had work yesterday so he needed to do research for the BF tonight.

Kuin's POV
"...with...ght...."I hear mutters. I open my eyes, and the familiar surrounding of LRN comes into view. I sigh a big breath of relief, and the guys all turn to me, noticing I'm awake.

Hiro softly held me from behind, and I hold onto his arms. They all considerately kept silent, I'm thankful for that. I need some time to process.

"H-his name was Juro Oyan, he was m-my last relationship," I stutter out, "also my longest, we were together for about two years, but he dumped me on my twenty first birthday. On my birthday!"

"It all happened so sudden. Everything was going on great for us. We met during a fight when I was still sixteen, and I was pleasantly surprised to have seen him again at nineteen, just three months after that previous-previous guy who liked to call me carrot went to Sweden. After we broke up, it was my saddest time, and the cheap pity and comfort he gave me easily won me over. He was always nice and considerate during our relationship. We even got close enough that we started sharing our gangs' secrets, like where we stored our guns and how they lived in the cities without being found out. I thought we were sharing the same weight of information then, but he was clever, he always made me talk about top secrets while he just talks about how they avoided being found.

"He planned everything all along. He just used me for information. More than half of our weapons gone missing the day he also disappeared and dumped me. It was a huge loss for our gang. The mafia boss didn't blame me, but that was when I swore I'll never trust another guy again."

Holding my knees, I fold my legs and rest my forehead on them.
Hiro: "Oh, Lillie...." he murmured as he hugged me tighter.

This is bad...I'm gonna have nightmares for the entire night if I don't stop recalling. I think as I try to blink the threatening tears away.

"Don't act tough." I hear Riki say in front of me, then he said something to the guys in which I didn't hear because i'm overflown. I felt myself being carried up into warm and gentle arms, and headed upstairs.

When he gently set me down on bed, tears start flowing down. Not sobbing, just crying silently.
Riki lay down on the other side of the nearly king-sized bed. I didn't mind. My legs fold up as I shrink in. He folded an arm under his head as he laid on his side and his other hand patted my head. At some point, I passed out.

Sunshine. I got up the next morning realizing I stained the pillowcase with tears, Riki was probably downstairs. I gulped as I walk into the bathroom. Yup. Just as I thought. My eyes were red and puffy, there were a few band-aids and cuts on my arms, a tiny one near my neck, my hair which was in a bun yesterday was now all over the place like weeds. I looked simply terrible.
After a quick shower and straightening up, I went downstairs thinking it was a miracle I had no dreams.

"Good morning." I sighed when I got to the counter, everybody was sitting there except for Riki who was behind the counter taking out his famous miso-soup.
"You better?" He asked.
"Yeah, thanks." I look up at him and my heart skipped a beat. (media)
He flashes me his usual teasing smile: "Hm? Too busy admiring my good looks?"
I shook my head and nudged him in the shoulder before sitting down with everyone else.

When we were all leaving for work, I let the other guys go first. I pulled Riki back when the others were out of sight. "Really, arigato, Riki." I say to him with a gentle smile playing on my lips.
I noticed his cheeks tint a bit pink before he mumbled a quick "no prob" and turned. I grinned while he walked away.

He's kinda arrogant--no, he's VERY full of himself. He acts perfect, and is awfully smug. but he really is a good guy, I can guarantee that.

Sorry it took another three days, but this time I was waiting for comments. I sorta have an basic idea of the story now but don't hesitate to give any suggestions at all!
