A/N: DID YOU KNOW THAT? this chapter was written last May 2011 after updated chapter 3? Sorry if it took really long... I just found it last night in one of my notebooks.

Phoenix Mistress- what a coincidence xD i was actually watching captain barbell that time (with that scene on) when this plot suddenly came into my mind.

THANKS FOR REVIEWING THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS!

CHAPTER 3

"If you…"

If I like you? Are you confessing that early? He thought.

"If you… Can help me find a job." She finished, staring at his golden orbs with plead.

"Is that all?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as the task seems to be a piece of cake for him.

"If you can't, then it's—"

He cut her by saying; " Come to my office tomorrow; Tsukimori Real State Company. I can help you with a certain job." He said, getting a piece of paper and a pen to write down the address.

She gawked, amazed at his generosity.

"Here." He put the pen down and hand the paper towards her, smirking as he enjoy her glistening expression.

"Wow! Thank you so much, Len-kun! I was actually expecting you'd turn me down…" she mumbled, voice descended in the middle of her sentence. HShe lowered her head, bashfully glancing at him for his reaction.

"Just consider this as a repay for your deeds."

"What did I do…? Aah… Are you talking about the time in the hospital? It was really nothing. By the way, how are you know? Have you already moved on?" her question caught him off-guard, impassiveness in his face has returned.

"Len-kun?"

"Moving on… Isn't as easy as you think." He answered, head is lowered until his eyes are barely seen.

"I know, Len-kun. I know…"

"You don't know anything about it. You haven't experienced it before…"

"That's where you're wrong." she said so sudden. He then raised his head up with the word 'huh', sketched on his face.

"A year ago... I've been cheated and lied to..."

~Flashback~

"Kahoko, what did you cook?" her older sister appeared somewhere, jerking her head to peek.

"It's Etou's favorite salad. I made it especially for him, mixed with all my love as the main ingredient." She explained, smiling as she tied the lunch box in a red handkerchief.

"Well then, good luck! I hope he will like it."

Before she could even step a foot on her boy friend's house, she stopped midway. Eyes grown big and watery, mindlessly dropping the well-prepared bento.

He was kissing another girl. Furiously, she marched towards them and gave him a hard slap, leaving a red mark on his pretty face.

"What the hell was that for? !" he shouted like he doesn't care whether she caught him or if he had hurt her badly.

"How can you do this to me? !" she shouted back, sobbing.

"That's because I don't love you." He said coolly, receiving another slap from her.

"I thought you do! You said you do!"

"I only said that, can you even state one that I ever showed love to you? Hn?"

She thought for awhile, recalling the past few months or days.

.

.

"Etou, I won in the competition!" she exclaimed with joy.

"Hn." Was all his answer.

.

"Etou, my birthday is next week." She informed, smiling from ear to ear.

"Sorry, I'm busy."

.

"Etou, can you spend Christmas with me? It'll be our first Christmas toge—"

"Sorry, I already promised by gang."

"But I'm your—"

"I can't disappoint them. You know that." He said before he continue walking, leaving her motionless behind.

"But what about… me…" she uttered to herself.

.

.

"See? You're just the only one who's been tailing me ever since? And the reason why I only agreed to be in a relationship with you is because you confessed to me in front of a huge crowd. What will they think of me if I disappoint you? Now will you go and leave? I don't want to see you anymore." He shooed her, pushing her lightly towards the wide-open door.

He removed the ring from his finger, a sign of breaking their unfortunate relationship, and threw it roughly back at her.

"We're done." Words that were supposed "she" was the one to say.

She ran quickly from his house, never daring to look back.

~End of Flashback~

"And that's how our 1 year relationship ended…"
