Y/N was a guy who dedicated himself to becoming someone that everyone could depend on. A reunion with a childhood sweetheart doesn't hurt his cause and determination either. However, one will soon learn that those with the brightest smiles tend to h...
Yeah. It's another double post. The last chapter was getting pretty long and ended up being around 20,000 words again. My original plan was actually to keep going but I didn't want to keep droning on and on so I decided to cut it off after Y/N left their apartment and split it into two smaller, separate chapters. (Although still pretty long). This one is just going to pick up right where the last one let off so let's just get right to it.
Oh yeah, a couple things real quick:
1. Most of the first half of this chapter is going to be told from Ichika's perspective. I originally had it in third person with a brief POV section for her but I liked how it was flowing from her perspective so I kept it.
2. Back in chapter 19, I forgot to add honorifics when Ichika talks. I'll probably go back through and fix it...or not. We'll see.
3. Similar to last chapter, this chapter contains elements of bullying.

Hallway of Quints Apartment
Upon hearing his name, Y/N grabbed the inside of the quickly closing elevator doors and forced them back open. He was then greeted by the site of a relieved Ichika, who had probably sprinted faster than she had in her entire life to try to catch him before the doors had closed. Without another word, she entered the elevator with him, and press the button for the bottom floor. The young man turned to her, eyebrow raised, as Ichika mirrored his expression.
"What?" She asked, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Y/N clicked his tongue in response, but eventually let out a small chuckle as he begin to realize what was going on and placed the Tupperware full of the stew Ichika had made in her hands. "Ooooooooh....I see what's going on...."
"....No you don't..." Ichika mumbled with a small, pink blush.
"Hehe...Fine...if that's how it's going to be, you give it to him then." He said with a teasing tone and smirk as the eldest quint's cheek were now dusted with a much darker shade of red.
"W-What...? I.....I....don't know what you're talking about...! This stew is for Raiha-chan!" Ichika exclaimed, stammering in embarrassment as she did so.
"Mhm...yeah, sure. Whatever you say.~" Y/N chimed out with a shit eating grin, relishing in the opportunity to be in the drivers seat when it came to the teasing, for once.
Ichika cursed herself mentally for having hair that was too short to hide how red her face was. She couldn't giving her playful punch either, due to her hands being occupied with tupperware. She gave him an annoyed pout as she ended settling for kicking him in the shin.

- The young man recoiled his leg in pain. "ITAI!!!!! You little brat!" He griped as he tried to kick her back. Unfortunately for him, however, the elevator door opened with a loud *ding* as Ichika quickly hopped outside the door, huge grin painted on her face.
