-YUTA HELD KAGUYA- as her breathing slowly went back to normal.
It took a few long deep breaths before she could so much as speak without the threat of tears emerging.
"Feeling better?" He asked, still rubbing circles on her back.
"In this moment, I think so." She responded.
"Maybe I should stop taking these naps if I'm going to get nightmares." Kaguya chuckled.
Her brother only gave a sincere smile back.
"Do you want to talk about what happened in it?" He spoke softly.
Kaguya's mind swiftly replayed what she could remember of her dream.
The eire red dimness of his room. His scent. His stare. His touch. Him.
"I'd rather not... I would like to forget about that dream actually." She said, her voice small.
Yuta let out a small sigh.
"Okay. Just know that I'm here if you ever need to talk about these things, alright?"
"Alright." Kaguya smiled.
"But, Kaguya, can we talk about something else right now?" He asked.
Kaguya immediately tensed, fearing she already knew what talk was coming ahead.
She timidly nodded her head yes.
"Have you been eating anything lately? Anything at all?"
The young girl took a second to recall if she had.
She ate a slice of an orange the previous day, and has been constantly drinking black coffee.
What doesn't help the matter is that black coffee has zero calories but is loaded with caffeine.
"I had part of an orange the other day..." She trailed off.
"You know that's bad Kaguya, you need to eat something." Yuta said.
"You are a beautiful girl for your age. You are fine the way you are. Can't I make you see that?" He painfully asked.
Kaguya only looked down at her hands in her lap.
It pained her to see him saddened by her own actions.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"Takenoko... I- I'm the one that should be sorry..." Yuta began.
"I shouldn't have sprung that on you, especially not after you had a panic attack. I'm the one that should be sorry." He spoke.
Kaguya looked up at him.
"It's okay, really." She faked a smile.
"Get started on your homework, okay? You still should do schoolwork." Yuta said. He ruffled her hair, then walked out of her room.
She was alone again.
It didn't bother her however. She's only trying to put her dream in the past among other things. She didn't want to start her homework just yet, so she picked up her phone.
She had a new message.
Jaehyun Hey :)
It was from Jaehyun. Kaguya hesitated to respond. She couldn't read anything about her eating again tonight. Not after her dream.
Kaguya Hello?
Jaehyun How are you?
"How am I?" The thought.
Broken Scared And sad were to say the least
Not like he'd care. Just lie.
Kaguya I'm well. You?
Jaehyun I'm fine as well too haha
Jaehyun Did you do the math homework yet?
Kaguya Fuck
Kaguya glanced at the time.
11:30?! When the fuck did that happen?!
Kaguya When did it get that late?!
Kaguya Ugh I'm going to be up all night doing stupid math smh
Jaehyun Hey hey hey I can send you pictures of my work if you'd like lol. No trouble I already finished it :)
You'd be a burden. You didn't do it. You have to do it.
Kaguya It's okay..
Kaguya I'm the one who didn't do it... I should do it myself.
Jaehyun Are you sure? I'd hate to see you sleepy during class again
Again? What does he mean by again?
Kaguya Again?
Jaehyun You always look like your going to fall asleep in class.
Jaehyun It's pretty adorable but you must be really tired :(
Kaguya I doubt I'm adorable, but I am very tired always lol
Kaguya I just get really restless when I sleep
Jaehyun I'm sorry :(
Jaehyun I hope you sleep well tonight, cutie :)
Is he flirting with me...? Is this what flirting is?
