The person who used to hate me, suddenly turned into a yandere! - Chapter 17- Home alone~1!

‘What am I even doing… ‘

Ryuuji sighed before he washed his face with the warm water as he relaxed his body in the spacious bathtub.

After Mika gave him a towel to dry up, Ryuuji was about to take his leave, but unexpectedly Mika asked to stay a little longer and urged him to take a bath as soon as possible, so he doesn’t get sick.

Everything was happening so hastily today that he couldn’t discern when he ended up naked in the bathroom while enjoying the sensation of luxury.

Even before the night when Mika flared on him, Ryuuji never took a bath at Hayama’s, and now, when he finally decided to stay away just like a schoolmate should…

‘Ah…this is warmly frustrating… ‘

Throwing the useless thoughts, Ryuuji washed himself up before leaving the tub and draining away the water, just in case it provides any unpleasantness.

Taking the towel, he dried his body and wore the cloth Mika gave him.
It was short cargo pants reaching up to his knees and a sleeveless T. The clothes belonged to Mika’s father, whom Ryuuji had yet to meet.

‘Sorry, uncle, for the inconvenience.’

He hadn’t met the man, but Ryuuji was sure that no father would like to have a guy inside their house alone with his daughter.

With his mind rumbling with such thought, Ryuuji made his way out of the bathroom before he walked to the dining space.

…

‘Hmm~hmmmm~.’

In the kitchen, Mika was cooking something filled with veggies as she hummed in delight since whatever she was stirring smelt good.

Unlike initially, she was now more composed as she somehow convinced herself that it was alright for them to be alone in the house.

It might be a little inappropriate to say, but Mika trusted Ryuuji that he wouldn’t take any step which could hurt her.

But what troubled her was the reach of her line, which Mika drew as a limit between her and Ryuuji. She wasn’t sure how will she react if he suddenly held her hand or hugged her….or maybe…

‘Ah…What the hell am I even thinking… ‘

Shaking her head in shame, Mika continued moving the spatula as she convinced herself that the steam was the reason why her face was flushed.

“Anno…Mika-san.”

“Ah!”

Mika almost dropped the spoon on the ground as she got startled upon being called so suddenly.

Turning the gas knob low, she turned toward the source and saw a dazed Ryuuji standing with his lips slightly parted, seemingly in a stupor.

Her own condition was no better upon seeing, wet-haired Ryuu-kun out of the bath with his chiseled chest slightly peeking out the deep-cut T.

Despite standing some distance apart, his fragrance wafted dangerously in the room as, without any word, Mika turned herself back to the station before she seamlessly stared at him.

Ryuuji also turned on his feet since, for some reason, he found Mika incredibly dangerous to even look at. He has seen her various times in casual wear, but today…she was being too defenseless!

Hot pant over a crop top is a total no-go for his innocent heart!

“P-Please watch tv until I prepare dinner.”

“O-okay…”

Flustered, both of them spoke in a broken voice before Ryuuji marched robotically toward the living area and plopped down on the couch.

On the other side, Mika cooled down herself while trying to figure out what was wrong with her. She has never been like this ever before!

Maybe it was the barrier she had made between herself and Ryuuji, which disappeared after she realized his part of the story, or perhaps she was getting insane day after day?

Or it might be that it was the slight banter she had with Aya the other day which cornered Mika with the realization of how she feels toward Ryuuji. Whatever it was, Mika was scared that she might end up doing something which could harm their relationship.

‘Control my greedy self…control… ‘

…

[After 10 min]

“Dinner is ready, Ryuu-kun.”

Calling out to him, Mika placed rice and soup on the table before she saw Ryuuji walking to the dining after switching off the tv.

She didn’t dare to look at him more than a blink before she twirled to get other things but halted even before taking a step.

“Here.”

There stood the only person in the house other than her, as he extended a tray containing fish and salad.

“Thank you.”

Maybe she was overreacting, but she couldn’t help at the moment since Ryuuji was far too dangerous. She didn’t know why he seemed dazed at first, but now he was calm and collected, unlike her.

The two arranged the table and sat in the same position they used to.

Mika being on opposite Ryuuji as both of them joined hands before praying their thanks.

“”Itadakimasu… “”

Not many words traveled, unlike in the past when Ryuuji used to talk a lot while eating. Mika has a habit of being as silent as much she can.

But contrary to those times, Mika wanted to initiate a conversation to blow out the awkwardness which has unexpectedly built in between them.

However, looking at Ryuuji’s expression, it didn’t seem he would be saying anything anytime soon.

In her chaos, Mika missed the sorrowful expression on Ryuuji’s face as he suddenly got an image of that night flashing in his mind.

The thing he promised himself, the vow he took, and the resolve he formed all went in vain, as reality doesn’t continue as one plan.

He didn’t want to disrespect the food, so he decided to leave as soon as he finished the food.

But little did he think…

“Ah, Ryuu-kun. It’s from mom. She wants to talk to you.”

Suddenly Mika received a phone call from her mother. After she hummed thrice, Mika extended the device toward him.

Ryuuji blinked in perplexion as he took the phone before he spoke in a slightly absent tone.

“Good afternoon, aunty.”

“Ryuu-kun! Has Mika been good to you? Did she make something to eat?”

“Y-yes, she did. And it’s delicious, strangely.”

Mika gulped the last bite, hard hearing Ryuuji’s words as what bothered her was the last syllable he spoke.

‘Strangely huh… ‘

“Haha…don’t worry. Despite how she behaves, she will be a suitable bride in the future. Ah, that reminds me…Ryuu-kun, please stay at my house until I return since Mika gets really scared alone. Okay, then see ya~.”

“Ah, aun-”

**BEEP**
