[DROP] Horimiya: Izuna Miyamura
12. Morning

Wednesday, 11 May—

—07.00 AM.

"I'm home!"

Entering her apartment, Izuna wiped the sweat off her forehead with a small towel that she hung around her neck.

"Oh, welcome back. Breakfast isn't ready yet, so you better take a shower."

Iori, who saw Izuna coming back immediately greeted him and told him to take a bath first.

"okay." Izuna nodded, she looked around and asked, "Mother, where is Sayu?"

"Sayu-chan is? Inu told her to take a shower earlier, so maybe she's still taking a bath now. But it was already 30 minutes ago, so he must have finished. If you see him, tell him to come for breakfast okay." said Iori, he is currently in the kitchen— set up breakfast for them.

Of course, with the addition of Sayu makes him have to add portions of food that he cooks.

He had also awakened Izumi and told her to prepare, only, since the bathroom was still used by Sayu, Izuna was still in her room.

By the way, even earlier, because all the rooms were full, Sayu slept in her room whose mattress was bigger because it was used to sleep with her husband.

Unlike the Izuna or Izumi mattresses, their mattress is only for one person, so even though Sayu sleeps in one of their rooms, Izuna or Izumi have to sleep in another place. That's why he told Sayu to sleep with him last night.

"OK~"

Izuna walked away to her room, she had been exercising for quite a while, for about 2 hours, and it made Izuna exhausted. It would be great if he could immediately soak in the hot water to relax his body muscles.

In her room, Izuna took a change of clothes, after which she headed straight to the bathroom. When he saw if the bathroom no one was using, he went straight in and turned on the hot water tap. After the water in the bath was hot enough, he immediately soaked in it.

"God ... It's very scrumptious~"

Closing his eyes, he spread his arms and felt that his body was becoming more relaxed.

It may be quite hot, but when it gets used to it, the heat will not be too pronounced. In fact, the sense of comfort when soaking in hot water will be felt, especially when tired or stressed.

Izuna soaked for about 20 minutes, and after that, she instantly drained the water in the bathtub, and rinsed her body once more. Only then did he put on his clothes.

The clothes themselves were simple because it was just a black short-sleeved shirt with black short jeans.

In Iori's room, Sayu was sitting in front of the mirror while styling her hair. Seeing her own reflection reflected, Sayu saw her reflection who was still wearing her school uniform before.

When she ran away from home, she brought nothing but a school uniform and a brown sweater and a pair of black underwear that she wore.

Sayu is a 16-year-old daughter of the Ogiwara Family, a prominent family who hails from the city of Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Her older brother, Issa Ogiwara, is currently the CEO of a well-known food company.

She was a second-year high school student at Asahikawa Dairoku High School when she ran away from home. And he's been running away from home for about a few weeks, and there's still no word if his family's looking for him or worried about his condition.

Sayu has no cell phone since she dumped her phone in the middle of the river and sank to the bottom of the water. Therefore he knew if it was almost impossible for his family to know his whereabouts in the near future.

Sayu doesn't like to face things head on. He would do what he could only to delay things he did not want to deal with. All she wanted to do was run away from everything, to live an easier life but at the same time, she missed someone to scold her and tell her to stop running, but unfortunately, she missed him, he hasn't found that 'someone' yet.

"I think I should hurry up and help Iori-san in the kitchen." Sayu said, while combing her hair a little faster than before.

After she finished, she rushed out of Iori's room and walked towards the kitchen, but who would have thought that she would cross paths with Izuna right then and there.

"Ah, Sayu. Morning time. Howwasyoursleep? Did you sleep well last night?" Izuna asked.

"Morning, Miyamura-san. I slept well last night, and let me thank you for the help you and your family have given me." While saying that, Sayu bowed her body sincerely.

"Don't worry, I just happened to meet you anyway. Then, you can call me 'Izuna' because it would be strange if you kept calling me 'Miyamura-san'."

"Eh? But ..." Sayu said doubtfully.

But even so, Izuna just waved her hand casually and with a small smile, she said, "It's okay, after all our names are all Miyamura here, after all, and it's impossible for you to call all of us Miyamura right?"

Surely, "Miyamura "here in question is he, Izumi and Iori. But, since Iori had already asked Sayu to call her by her name, then all that was left was her and Izumi.

Using that excuse, she could make Sayu call her by her first name.

"Ah, okay ... Izuna-san?"

Seeing Sayu who was still awkward when calling her name, Izuna slightly laughed and said.

"Yes yes, Sayu. What if we leave? Mom said breakfast was almost ready."

"Well!"

Walking following Izuna behind her, Sayu somehow felt her cheeks slightly heat up at this moment.

07.30 AM.

Currently, Iori and her two sons, and coupled with Sayu were in the dining room. Sitting in a dining chair with a variety of dishes that have been prepared at the dining table.

"Sorry Iori-san, I didn't have time to help you this morning." Sayu bowed her head guiltily.

"It's okay, you're still tired anyway, right? Therefore, I cooked a lot of food today. So, eat a lot for your body to recover okay?" Iori said while giving a bowl of rice to Sayu.

At the dinner table, Iori has prepared a wide variety of dishes that are quite common to the Japanese; rice, fried shrimp, sausage, meat, some vegetables, tofu and also soy sauce.

"Well, let's eat, Izumi also ate. Today, you have to leave in the morning, right?" Iori asked while turning her eyes to Izumi.

"Yes, I have gym class today, so I'm leaving earlier than usual." Izumi nodded and said to Iori calmly.

"Oh yeah, do you know anyone by the name of 'Yaegashi'?" ask Iori.

"Yaegashi? No, it seems like I've never heard of it." replied Izuna.

"Of course not, you've only been there a few days. All I asked was Izumi" Iori said.

"Then, why didn't Mom say 'Izumi' instead of 'you guys'?" said Izuna with a flat face.

"Already, don't discuss. How's Izumi, do you know him?" Iori dodged and said as if she was innocent.

Izumi held her chin and thought for a moment, "Hmm, it seems like I only heard from rumors but I didn't know there was a student by the name of Yaegashi in my class."

"Is that so? I thought he might be in a class with Izuna then."

"What is this Mom? What's with this Yaegashi?" Izuna asked.

"No, it's just that she's Mom's old friend's daughter, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'm just curious because I heard she went to school at your place." Said Iori.

"Is it?"

"Yes, don't think too much and continue eating you guys."
