"This is your home, right?"

"Yes, big brother."

In front of a house, Aoto decided to take him there.

After he gets away from the bite of the dog, the boy did not let go of his thighs, and that forces him to do this menial work.

Now, that he takes him here, it's time to go.

"Hmmm?"

However, the boy clings to his thighs again.

He doesn't know why but he felt disgusted toward him, especially if he thought of this boy's future.

Anyway, since this boy looks cute though, he decided to not mind it and let him take him inside.

*Thud

Unfortunately, he didn't see the wall so the boy got slammed and his nose got bled.

Aoto couldn't help but think how this kid is such a klutz.

'If this continues, he might never find a girlfriend in the future.'

He is worried about the future of this kid but since they are strangers, he erases this thought and comes unannounced.

…

At the house entrance.

After they go into the house, the boy shouts, "Big sister!" in the hallway.

Immediately, Aoto heard footsteps and saw a girl who looks like near his age, peeking at the entrance.

"What's wrong?"

The girl suddenly gets panicked when she saw that the boy has bleeding in the nose.

She put down the basket she hold and worrying said, "Sota! What happened to you?" and using a towel, she wiped the blood from his nose.

"I slammed to the wall."

The boy said.

"Seriously? Did you not have a handkerchief  with you?"

Looking at this scene, Aoto couldn't help but feel out of place so he decided to announce his presence.

"Uhmm… he seems fine now so I will excuse myself."

The girl look surprised when she noticed him.

She immediately said, "I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Aoto didn't mind it so he replied, "It's fine. I'll head out now." while walking away from them.

However, the boy tuck on his shirt and made his movement pause again.

The girl said, "Sota…" with a stunt expression.

She thought for a moment that she didn't give him some gratitude so she decided to invite him for a drink.

"Uhmm… If you're not in a hurry, you can come inside and have a seat."

"Sure, but—"

While Aoto is answering her, the boy suddenly shows the hand where he got bite a dog.

Immediately, the girl's expression turns serious.

It seems that she understands what the boy wanted to say.

"I would like to thank you so please come in."

He sighs inwardly and said, "Okay… sorry for intrusion." as he come inside with them.

…

In the dining room.

Currently, the girl is wrapping his hand with a bandage.

He already said that he is fine but she still push that she need to do this.

"It's finished."

"Thank you for treating me."

Although he doesn't need it, since she had done it, he needed to thank her.

"No, it's my pleasure to help you. You help my brother against a dog."

Looking away, he felt guilty that he didn't say that it was only a chihuahua but that doesn't matter.

"Do you want some drink? I apologize that we only have coffee and tea, at this moment. I haven't left to go to the supermarket yet."

"No problem. Then can I have a coffee?"

"Sure, no problem."

She takes the first aid kit and when she comes back, a cup of coffee is in her hands, serving it to his table while he is talking with her little brother.

The girl felt that her little brother is very comfortable with the boy in front of her.

Aoto suddenly realizes the time.

"I think I need to go now."

"Eh??"

The boy sadly said.

He sighs and just pat the head of this kid and tell to the girl that he needed to go now.

The girl thanked him again and finally, he was able to go out of the house.

…

Inside the house, the boy is clinging to his big sister.

"Can you invite him tomorrow, big sister?"

The girl doesn't know what she will answer but suddenly, she reminds of something.

For some reason, she already saw Aoto in the past but she doesn't know where she saw him…
