"Hey! Chizuru what's happening to you? From the way you look, you look like you've lost your pet."

Ayase, my friend and my co-worker exclaimed.

"No its nothing..." I replied.

"No its not, I'm here to listen so please share it to me so it will lift your mood a little bit." She said with assurance. So I explained to her whats with the issue between me and Hotaru, keeping her true gender to the guys because her team doesn't allow female members.

"You've got it really tough Chizuru."

"Yeah, And I don't have the right to pry with this issue knowing that I just met them in the first place."

"Just trust in your friend's conviction. I know she won't have a hard time if you don't pressure her."

"Yeah you're right."

On my way home, pacing down the station, I was too preoccupied that I was going the wrong way and I stumbled in one of the dark alleys. There, I saw an angry mutt glaring at me. To my panic I ran away from it but the dog chased me after. I always hated K9s since I was a child but that phobia has not fixed until I grew up. I felt ridiculous, being an adult chased by a lone dog on the streets. I was able to keep my distance from that dog but unfortunately I lost my balance and fell that made my ankles sprained.

The dog was almost charging to my direction to chew me but the lean built man with green hair shooed it away. The man approached me and gave me a hand.

"Are okay miss?"

"I'm okay... Ouch!"

"Looks like you have sprained your right ankles."

He suddenly carried me like a bride and let me sit at the nearest bench. Then He wrapped my left ankle with his hanky as a first aid.

"Thank you Mister--"

"Nagamasa Midori."

"Thank you Nagamasa-san."

"You should call me Midori. I think I will be seeing you again afterall."

"You think so?" I chuckled faintly because I think he is hitting on me, like Masamune does.

"Should I escort you to your home Yukimura-san?"He suggested.

"No I'm good, I'll call a cab instead. Oh, by the way how did you knew my name? I Haven't introduced

myself."

"I saw you from Echizen with Yukimura Tohru, that night."

"Oh, but don't be mistaken that we're married."

"Of course I'm not. I think you are still a pure maiden to me."

Midori suddenly caresses my cheek that made me flush.

"There's a taxi already, I'll better get going. Thank you for helping me."

Midori the lend a hand to the backseat and bid farewell.

As I think about that man, I smiled and I felt that the pain in my foot disappeared. What's his deal anyway? I couldn't imagine that a good looking man would be my stalker. Nah, Its just my imagination. I'm not on his league of oh-so celebrity people anyway.

As I get off the taxi, my next ordeal is to walk meters away to the elevator to reach at the fourth floor of the building where my apartment is. Too bad, I didn't take the opportunity for Midori to walk me home.

So that's it! It take me 30 minutes to reach my apartment.

Goal! Touchdown!!! Finally at my goddamn apartment. I unlocked the door, still clinging in the doorway.

"Honey I'm home! Oh I forgot, I'm not married."

Just kidding, I'm only residing alone in my apartment. Being single sure is lonesome but never got a partner neither a boyfriend anyway.

My persian cat named Pillow greeted me with a meow at the doorway. My cat is so sweet as if he was my lover, I'm a cat person anyway... Thus do bachelorettes with cats do really grow old alone being unmarried.

As I pet Pillow on my lap, I began daydreaming again if what if Midori really take me home to my apartment? He will carry me again like a bride then obviously he will go inside my apartment... Then he suddenly does intimate things to me... Oh my gosh! Dirty thoughts again, I got embarrassed as I scream like a fangirl and I snuggle my cat like a plushie.

The next day, I have no choice but to report to my office, using my umbrella as a cane.

"Oh, Yukimura-san! It seems that you have a hard time and there. Let me carry you like a princess." said one of my male colleagues.

"Nah, I'm good. You're too lanky to carry me."

"You're just telling me that so I wont know that you have already gained weight since last winter."

"Oh shut up!"

"Whats racket in there? Oh my! What happened to you Chizuru? Looks like you have a bad injury in your foot."

"This is nothing."

"You better get fix yourself. I'll get the manager a notice so your log-in won't be forfeited. We will escort you to the office's clinic afterwards."

"But..."

"No buts!"

"Oooh, looks like Ayase-san is acting like a concerned boyfriend to you. Could that be, she really is. I wont be surprised if that's the case that you're both lesbians."

"Oh come on. Just fuck off if you wont say anything good."

"Okay. Oh, here's a chair for you to sit on. So I wont be leaving you as a bad guy here."

Ayase asked me where I got this sprain and explained that I was chased by that annoying mutt yesterday and I didn't tell that I met this Midori guy because I wasn't in the mood to be teased by her anyway. Much to my surprise, the doctor assigned in the clinic is none other than Nagamasa Midori.

"Hey girl, looks like you got the jackpot staying with this hottie." Whispered Ayase. 

I sighed with disbelief as well as agitated in his gaze. Yes, I fantasized about him, but I'm really into 2D guys.

"I'll be leaving you to doc now. Bye!" And she bowed to the doctor and completely ditch me out of the scene. As I seated on the hospital bed, without saying a word, he examined my sprained foot.

"Uh, I never knew you were a doctor here."

"Actually, I just substituted my uncle here for a while. By the way I'm a pediatrician in Hoshishiro Hospital."

"Uh, okay."

"I never knew you are working in here."

"Yeah it seems."

Oh shut up Midori san!

How could I be involved with this guy again when he's beyond the league here and my sprain that he tended is not fully healed. He is a pediatrician strayed in this firm. To sum it up, could he be my creepy stalker. The things I my mind are all jumbled up from what, how, why could this be happening to me?

While Midori is fixing my sprain, I suddenly felt the intense pain stinging in my ankle which made me moan loudly. To my panic, I covered my mouth with my two hands and gazed down to see if what happened to my foot. Then I met Midori's eyes. Because of the lewd sound I made, that made my face and body burn from and tears well up on my eyes because of the pain and embarrassment I got.

He chuckled and said.

"You should be not moaning too loud inside the clinic because people might misinterpret something about us."

"S-sorry." As I gazed off his face.

This is embarrassing! This is embarrassing!This is embarrassing!!!!

"Your ankles are alright now."

"Thank you, I should be leaving now."

"Wait." He touched his palm on my forehead.

"I think you have a fever. Let me check on you for a while."

"No, I'm okay. I have to get back to work right now."

As I stood up, I felt dizzy and my body starts to collapse from the strength and effort to walk myself limping to the office. Good thing Midori catched me from hitting the ground.

"See? I told you you should rest here for a while." He said as he showed the digital thermometer showing that my temperature is above normal that is 38 degrees Celsius.

As I lie down the bed. I covered my face with the blanket only revealing my eyes to see whats up with the doctor.

But I decided to completely cover myself with the sheet of blanket and called Ayase with my phone.

"Chizuru, are you alright now? What's with the phone call anyway?" She answered.

"Help Ayase! Get me out of here! That doctor creeps me out." I whispered in panic.

"Oh come on Chizuru. It's your opportunity to have a hot boyfriend in there." She teased.

"Are you really my friend?"

"Oh, I have lots of reports to work on. Bye!"

... Then she hanged up immediately. That bitch! She betrayed me. I dozed off immediately because I'm exhausted physically and mentally from what happened earlier.

When I woke up that afternoon, I saw the original personel, which is Midori's uncle in the clinic.

"How are you Yukimura-san, are you feeling better now?"

"Yes doc, but where's Midori?"

"My nephew left a while ago. You seem in good terms with him, could you be his girlfriend?"

"No. I just got acquainted with him yesterday." I explained.

"He seemed took a liking with you."

"Not really. Not a chance."

As I opened my phone. I got a message from Ayase two hours ago that said.

"I regarded the manager that you have a sick leave for three days from now on. Sorry I can't fetch you in the clinic because I have things to work on. You can leave after you take a breather from the clinic."

I replied back and said.

"I'm okay by myself. I'm going home now."
