Chapter 1- fated meeting
For Killua, this is the usual day to start the day.
The sound of the wheel cart, the sound of the miners chatting while digging, some yelling and other mining activities.
A usual day and there's nothing new about it.
Killua Zaoldyeck started to dig the tunnels along with other miners, how he wished he could eat decent breakfast or lunch, it's too bad that he is too poor to afford it. His stomach have been rumbling for entire day even though no one can hear it even if someone can, no one care about it. Then the boss who come to watch the mining progress, letting out a scream.
"ALL OF YOU, DIG FASTER!"
The entire miner including killua starting to dig faster and harder, not wanting having a pay cut.
-"It's over." Killua said with sigh and decided to go back to his cruddy apartment for taking a bath from mining the entire day.
It wasn't long before killua arrive and find his landlady, Naley outside.
"Ah, there you are. When are you going to pay for the rent?" Naley asked.
Killua gulped. He knew that he hasn't paid the rent this month since he hasn't got paid yet.
"Err, I'll pay it when I got paid. It's okay, right?" Killua said.
"You know the rules, Killua but I suppose I can let you off. How about you and I spend the night often? Then there's no need for you to worry anymore about the rental." Naley said seductively.
Killua got chills hearing his landlady sickeningly sweet voice. He is tired and he just wanted to be left alone. Even though Killua is poor, he is actually really handsome to the point that most of the times he got job offers for show business but he doesn't like that kind of business because he doesn't like to be the center of attention even though he is one already.
"Sorry about that, I really promise to pay it when I got paid so see ya!"
After saying that, Killua dash away leaving his landlady who just demanding him to come back but Killua already going back immediately in his room, not sparing his landlady another glance.
'Sigh, how lucky I managed to escape. Great, now all that running just making me hungrier. Another instant food for me, I guess.
How Killua wished that his landlord will leave him alone, hope when he paid the rent, she won't bother him again even though that will be like asking the sun to stop shining.
The next day at night, Killua finally got paid and decided to pay his landlady but on his way back to the apartment, the road is closed.
"WHAT? This road is the shortest path to the apartment. Does this mean I have to take another road which is a long detour?" Killua shouts immediately and he is lucky that no one is around to hear him.
'Guess I better go or the landlady will ask about the rent and paster me to take her "offer" which I will never accept.' Killua thought, obiviously grossed out.
Killua taking a detour with an annoyed look on his face. Cold breeze just pass through him but Killua is comfortable in cold even though he is wearing a coat but the reason he is wearing it mainly for preventing his clothes getting dirty from all day work for mining.
Killua went cursing for how bad his life is and how bad day he always have.
He stops when he hears a giggling sound. For some reason, he found that voice is sweet as an angel voice.
He goes and looking for the source of someone who is annoyingly happy when he is having a bad day.
What he found is completely surprising him.
A young woman who look like in her twenties, gently petting a puppy that is licking her face making her giggling like a little girl. Killua realized that this young woman is blind since her eyes are brown but cloudy and her hands keep feeling the ground beside her before getting a flower from the basket beside her. She look poor as well since her clothes are really thin and worn also she is shivering as well but she endure it by hugging the puppy to get more warmth.
All of a sudden, Killua can feel that his cheeks got hotter and his heartbeat getting faster and faster only by looking at her.
'Wha- what's wrong with me. Why am I feeling like this all of a sudden?' Killua thought as he trying to figuring out how to calm his heartbeat down and knowing the reason at the same time.
