Reader's POV
I slowly opened my eyes after feeling that I've slept enough only to find myself wrapped by the darkness. As my eyes starts to adjust from the dark, I realized I'm in an unfamiliar room. I search the place frantically in hope to trigger the last memory I had until I saw my bag. The memories flashed before my eyes letting a single tear escape.
'I probably got tricked. I don't feel any different. That bitch must have played me.' I thought angrily as I touched myself in all place to see whether something had happen to me or not. I realized that I'm wearing a different set of clothes and was completely naked underneath.
After making sure nothing had happened to me physically, I quickly grabbed my bag to check if any of my belongings got lost.
'I've not been touched and my things are still here, what the hell happened?' I asked myself. I stood up and grabbed my things knowing that I wouldn't find an answer if I just stayed in the room.
'Door's unlocked. Which means I'm not kidnapped.' I gave sighed of relief as I left the room only to reach a hallway and facing a door that seems to lead to another room.
I walk through the hallway that ends with a set of stairs. Climbing down with caution, still indifferent and suspicious about the whole set up. The moment I reached the floor, a door in the far side of the room opened, letting some light enter the place. I quickly went behind the sofa to hide as I stalk the person who just came in.
A man in his 40's wearing a suit and holding a briefcase entered the house as he turned on the lights. He seemed like a normal adult who just came home after a hard day's work. He wasn't really that suspicious looking although he looks strict.
'Nothing adds up.' I thought as I started to get irritated with the fact that there's no connection at all.
The man sighed, making me snap my head back to him. He was massaging his shoulders and yawned. He's your average dad type who has been piled up with work. But then again, he did look familiar.
"How long do you plan on hiding there?" He asked.
I froze. 'Does he know I'm here? Maybe he is a bad guy.' I thought. I regained my composure and tried to hide my presence.
"I know your there. Behind the couch. I have two kids that like playing hide and seek, I pretty much mastered the art of knowing when someone's hiding in my house." He explained, not even looking at me or the couch.
"Follow me to my work room, my kids are asleep, I don't want to wake them up. I'll answer your questions there." He said as he walk his way through a room.
For some reason, I felt that I could trust the man. My gut said so and my gut is never wrong, so far. I stood up, my bag clinging on my right shoulder, and followed him.
Upon entering the room, I was amazed at the fact that it was both tidy and messy at the same time all because of the piles of papers neaty stacked yet was laid there at random. He was sitting there as he opened his briefcase. I froze. It's not that I could trust the man because my gut said so, it was because I know this man. My heart skipped a beat after realizing that that woman didn't fool her.
'I really have crossed dimensions.' I happily thought.
"So how do you feel?" He asked while his attention were at the papers he just brought out of his briefcase.
"I feel fine, sir. What happened?" I asked making sure I was polite since he was emmiting a type of presence that said 'I have the authority so be polite'.
"My son found you at the park. You were looking for help. He brought you to me since I'm a doctor. Oh and your clothes were changed by our helper. (A/N: I have no idea what to call the old lady that has been really awesome and kind to Shuuya in the series) Your clothes are inside the closet in the room." He explained.
"Thank you for your help." I replied as I hid my confusion when he said I looked for help.
"I should also tell you that I looked through your wallet to know your identity and who to call." He announced as he stopped working and faced me, making me feel less comfortable.
"Well, I guess that's rather normal since I think that is a protocol." I said while laughing awkwardly.
"I found your school ID" He said in a blank voice.
I stopped laughing and realized what he meant. I looked at him while thinking of what to reply.
"I.. ugh.. what about it?" I asked while I felt my heart dropped. Cursing myself with the fact that I can't lie to someone with authority.
"I called the telephone number enlisted at the back of your ID. The number doesn't exist. You seem to be in a university so I searched for the name of your school and found nothing. Who are you?" He asked with a serious expression. I can feel my legs giving in but was able to reach for a sit and sat down.
"You wouldn't believe me even if I tell you." I answered while looking away from him. Who would even listen to you seriously if you just suddenly tell them 'Hey I came from another world to stalk your son and his team'.
"Try me." He said seriously observing me directly making me even less comfortable. I filled my lungs with air then gave an audible sigh. 'Here goes.'
"I came from another world." I said as I looked at him straight in the eyes.
I waited for him to laugh or look at me funny, but he wore the same serious expression.
"You believe me?" I asked.
"I couldn't exactly say that I believe you, but the gleam in your eyes tells me otherwise. Tell me what happened." He said in a fatherly voice, something I haven't heard for a long time.
I felt a tear running away from my eyes with my vision getting blurry by the second. He wore the same expression, however, there was a hint of softness now. I told him what had happened to me, the last day I was in my world including my death sentence. He would nod occasionally as he listen to me with thoroughly. I was already crying non-stop when I ended my tale.
He moved towards me and pats my head, something a father would do to stop their kid from crying.
"Give me proof that you really know us. It's a lot to take in." He said as he laughed a little.
No matter how I looked at him, he was different from what I've seen in the anime. He seems friendlier than he was when Shuuya was in junior high.
'They probably have solve their familiy issues.' I thought.
I quickly opened my back to get my laptop. After turning it on, I showed him the first episode of the anime. He watched the whole thing seriously and when the show ended, he took a deep breathe.
"I didn't know my son that well that time. I never knew how tortured he must have felt." He said as he stared at the floor with sad eyes.
"But you guys are ok now, right?" I asked hopefully. He smiled.
"After I let him continue playing soccer, we started bonding again, slowly but surely. I can't believe I was that selfish then." He explained.
"In my world, a lot of us, who watched the soccer life of your son's team, were pretty annoyed by you, but when you let him play, we were very happy." I said with a huge smile in my face.
He then cleared his throat to escape the embarrassment. Then there was silence.
'Here goes.' I thought.
"Uhmmm..." I started.
"Yes?"
I exhaled all the air in my lungs and quickly filling them back and bowed then quickly said, "Please let me stay here until the end of the year".
He looked shock. I mean who wouldn't. Suddenly a girl appeared in your house unconscious, told you that she was from another world, then suddenly asks you to keep her. That's just messed up.
There it was once again, the awkward silence.
After what seems to be an eternity, I spoke once more.
"I'll do anything! I can cook and clean, I'm also good with kids, and I am or was a 3rd year university student, I can probably help with these papers. And it's only until the last day of the year." I said trying to convince him.
"What do you want in return?" He asked as my face instantly lit up.
"To be a part of this family, even as a maid, and to work. I don't want to depend on you sir if you'd let me stay." I replied.
"Fine. You will be working for me as a secretary. You'll start in 3 days." He said.
"Thank you so much sir." I said happily while doing a 90 degree bow.
"And by the way, call me 'dad'." He said with a small smile.
I looked at him in disbelief. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't sleeping. After doing so, my smile grew from ear to ear, a smile I haven't worn for years. Tears are once again trying to climb it's way out of my eyes.
"Thank you so much dad." I said happily.
"Now go back to bed. You still need some sleep." He said sternly. Then a question popped in my head.
"By the way, how long was I asleep?" I asked, afraid that I probably wasted 2 months sleeping in this world.
"About 2 days." I felt the rush of relief that I didn't sleep for a long time.
"Hey dad" I said.
"Yes?" He asked fixing his attention once more to the papers he had.
"Can you not tell anyone that I'll die by the end of the year?" I asked in a mellow voice.
He took his time to think about it then agreed. I bowed once more and was about to leave the room when he suddenly said...
"[f/n], I'll do my best to become a good father to you. I won't restrict you as long as you tell me where you are going and with whom. Curfew is 10pm. Just follow these rules and you and I will get along just fine." He said.
"Yes dad." I said and left the room but heard him said 'breakfast is at 7am'.
I went back to my room, turned my alarm on, and slept.
Next day
I woke up by the sound of my alarm. I didn't hesitate to open my eyes because I remembered last night as if it just happened.
I quickly got up opened the closest and surely my clothes were there. I did my neccessary basic morning needs then went down to the dining room where dad, Shuuya, and Yuuka were eating breakfast. The moment my foot touched the floor, all three of them looked at me. I froze at the sudden attention.
There was silence.
'I am probably the most awkward person ever.' I sadly thought.
"uhhh... Good morning!" I said enthusiatically followed by an awkward smile.
"[f/n], good morning! Come and sit." Dad/Mr. Gouenji said.
I slowly made my way to the dining table still feeling the burning stare of Shuuya and Yuuka.
"[h/n], kindly give [f/n] a plate." Dad said as [h/n] put down a plate for me to eat with.
"Shuuya, Yuuka, starting today until the end of the year, [f/n] will be staying here as a part of our family." Dad announced. I instantly blushed from the embarrassment. I slowly looked at Shuuya to see his reaction only to be returned with a cold stare. I was offended.
'I did not just crossed dimension and suffer excruciating pain just to be greeted by a cold stare.' I thought and returned his cold stare with my famous bitch look. He seems taken aback and went back to eating. I looked at Yuuka who greeted me with a happy sunshine smile that just brightened up my day.
"Hello~! I'm Gouenji Yuuka! Nice to meet you!" She said as she extends her hand for a handshake.
"Hi Yuuka-chan! I'm [f/n] [l/n]. It's really nice to meet you and talk to you unlike a certain ice princess." I said with a grin while looking at Shuuya from the corner of my eyes who seemed to have choked from his drink.
"Excuse me?" He said trying to regain composure.
"Shuuya-kun, lesson number one in trying to not be affected by a certain comment is to not be afftected by the certain comment." I said as I gave him a playful wink.
I swear I saw him blush as he looked at the other direction trying (and failing) to hide his face. Dad and [h/n] was giggling at our morning act while Yuuka was confused.
"Nii-chan, why is your face red?" said by the young innocent Yuuka.
With that simple comment given by Yuuka, the entire household started laughing, except Shuuya of course who seemed to turned bright red.
"I'm going now." He quickly said as he grabbed a toast and quickly left the house.
"[f/n], what do you plan on doing today?" Dad asked.
"I wanna meet Shuuya-kun's team, if I can." I answered.
"Hey [h/n], is Shuuya still a part of Endou's team?" Dad asked.
"You know those boys are inseperable even after graduating junior high." She said laughing tenderly. I smiled at the thought that I'd finally meet them.
I looked at dad with puppy eyes, begging him to let me go to them.
"Here." He said as he gave me an envelop and a folded sheet of paper.
"Give that envelop to Natsumi Raimon while the other one is the town's map." He explained.
"Thank you so much!" I said as I got up and hugged him.
"Anyway, by 3pm go to Yuuka's school." He said as he pointed a school icon on the map.
"Pick up Yuuka and go to the mall. You're gonna need some clothes." He said in a straight tone.
Yuuka and I looked at each other blankly then with excitement plastered with wide smiles.
"Yay! Papa, can I buy some ice cream, too?" Yuuka asked imitating what I just did. Mr. Gouenji could only chuckle at his daughter's cuteness.
"Ok but be a good girl to your [f/n] nee-san." He said.
Yuuka then tackled her dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much daddy!" Yuuka said with glee.
"[f/n] nee san, I'll be waiting at the gate ok? Please don't be late." She begged.
I couldn't resist her especially when she looks at me with those sparkling eyes and baby face. I pinched her cheeks softly and ruffled her hair as I gave her a nod.
"Yay!" She jumped up and down being all hyeractive.
"I'll go off first then." I announced.
"Wait." Dad said and threw me another envelop.
"What's this?" I asked. The envelop was rather thick (but not that thick).
"You're buying clothes right? Take it as an early month's pay." He said while giving me a playful wink. I smiled at the thoughfulness of my new father.
"Thank you. I'm going now!" I said while bowing.
Gouenji Shuuya's POV
'I swear that that girl will be the death of me one day. I WAS DEFINITELY NOT BLUSHING! ME? An ICE PRINCESS?! I'M A FLAME STRIKER! I DON'T DO ICE, I mean sure I'm cool, BUT I'M MORE OF THE HOT TYPE! I AM HOT!' I thought endlessly. The girl I just saved just ruined my morning and most probably my day.
'Great! How the hell am I suppose to focus on my training today when all I could think of is her' I thought while walking to school.
Wait what? I am not thinking of her.
'Nope. Nope. Never. Nope.' I kept thinking while shaking my head.
"Keep shaking your head and it might fall off later." A familiar voice said.
"Kazemaru. How are you?" I greeted.
"I'm fine. You seem to be in a bad mood. It's rather amusing. So who's the girl?" He asked while showing me his I-know-what-you're-hiding smirk.
"I am not amused Kazemaru. I'm having a headached. And what do you mean 'who's the girl?'" I asked not even trying to hide the annoyance in my voice.
"You're blushing. " He simply said.
"I don't blush because of women, Kazemaru. Women blushes for me." I stated.
"Uhhh.. no. I think that's more of Fubuki than Gouenji." He said which didn't exactly brighten up my mood.
Not that I don't agree that Fubuki can get a girl in a blink of an eye, I also have the same effect on girls right?
"Wrong!" Kazemaru shouted.
"Wha- How? How did you-"
"I had a feeling you were thinking something similar with 'I'm a chick magnet like Fubuki'." He said with a laugh.
That pretty much hit the spot. I started to walk faster away from Kazemaru, unfortunately, I can't outrun this idiot.
'What did I do to deserve this?' I asked myself as I let out a sigh of defeat.
