Chapter 3

Author pov

I look down from my computer screen looking at Yenn; she looked at herself in the mirror and plated her long black hair, she wore a simple off - white shirt and a high waist pearl black pants and a converse. Well yah it's kind of a weird combination of clothes but she didn't cared. She went to teach not to do a ramp walk. A dash of a lipstick and mascara that's all she did for the makeup though her whole makeup was the dark circles she had. Grabbing her bag and laptop in another, she rushed out of the door as the time showed 8:15 am of a Monday morning; alas but yes, our protagonist for this story has to reach the Mejiro campus as she is the chemistry lecturer for the 2nd year and 3rd years.

Irony ain't it ?! Well I don't think so

Let me throw some light in our Yenn's life.

As I said earlier Yenn is the sister of our beloved Kuro, she is well mannered and very polite. Sometimes; she has a temper unlike her brother who is calm most of the times, well I take that back too. Well; moving forward (rolls eyes) 6 years ago she went to Korea to complete her studies, Chemistry as the major subject for graduation. Apart from being there and studying , she also prioritized digital art as her passion and wanted to work on that field too but you know living in Korea and not having money to feed is quite a bummer so she had opened a YouTube channel creating tutorials on digital art and else more.

Time passed by, yes, she was successful in working on the digital field and even an editor had asked her to work with him for the manhawa he was working on as an assistant for the artist himself. It worked well and was a great success. Six years it has been and she still does her digital art but has become quite famous amongst the manhawa readers and now she is back to Japan and start her work here too.

It wasn't easy for her to be where she is now, many sleepless nights, exams pressure, deadlines were always there, surrounding herself but that's what she preferred. She wanted to stay engrossed in her work so much that she didn't wanted to remember anything that happened 6 years ago.

                                                 *\0/*

"Ahh why am I so late always" Yenn looks at the watch which shows 8:56 am "Goshh need to take the attendance too"

She parks her car and rushes towards the front gate and gives her attendance and walks or rather sprints all the way to the 3rd year's class room; "Be careful ehh" says one of her colleagues, she nods.

And her day starts with a little sprint.

On weekdays, that is, Monday to Wednesday she worked as lecturer in the university and the remaining two days, she worked as the chief artist in the Haihung Feng Studios. Well the days were quite balanced as the director was Sugawara Kōshi who was her brother's fiancé and yes it was a family business too. Sugawara needed her artwork and she wanted to stay busy. Works the both ways you know.

                                               *\0/*

It was Thursday and Yenn needn't have too hurried like in that of the Monday morning. She walks out of the kitchen with Egg fry rice in her hand. It was eight in the morning and didn't have a deadline to worry, so the morning was chilled and didn't have to worry about the whole thing.

"That character was really great Yenn" Sugawara said handing her the latte "well I’m always grateful for the fact that your brother told me about you before hand and here you are as the chief artist in the art department."

"Hyung why do you have to always say that ehh... It's like I have a big burden upon myself" Yenn said pouting.

(A.N : Hyung; honorific for older brother in Korean)

"Gomen gomen" Sugawara says as he laughs "By the way, the Li zing production wanted you to draw for their story, all we need is love forever, as they couldn't find the right artist to draw for it and just then your last week's artwork got viral in the Artist Unload .... So they wanted to work with yah"

(A.N : Gomennasi; sorry in Japanese)

"And you said yes" Yenn said sipping her latte. Sugawara nodded."Fine then" Yenn said "tell them to mail me the summary of the story and character sketch of the protagonist by toni- nah nah tomorrow... By tomorrow tell them to send it" Yenn says as she walks around all the way to his table, "What you working on??" She peeks at his computer screen.

"Ahh Feng Gaming asked me to improvise this character" he shows her the character "I don't know what to improvise in this….. like just look at it…. the colors are good and the proportions are fine... I don't know what they want me to improve in this ... Ahhh" Suga says resting his head on his chair.

"Why don't you give it some kind of helmet or crown? The hair looks kind of empty ehh... I have played this game it's quite fun, the graphics are also good but I did notice that this was the only character that didn't come with skin ... May be giving it a crown or give it some kind of machete or a mace it would look good ehh" she said looking at the computer.

"Woahhh yah.. that could work!!" Sugawara said energized and garbed his pen to draw the necessary. Yenn looked at the clock and grabbed her bag.

"Leaving already??" Sugawara said looking at her from his computer; "Do you think I got enough sleep??" She said pointing at her face, "Take care then and say hi to Tendōu" Sugawara said waving with his pen in his hand.

"How??.." Yenn asks confused; "because you are mostly at his bar rather than visiting our house Yenn " he said with a genuine smile “By the way do visit us sometimes Kuro might be delighted to see you” he says.

Yenn scratches her head and yawns; "This girl" he thinks and hears the door close after and continues his work.

                                        *\0/*

Fininnebb bar

She goes around the back door and enters into a lobby; "Hi Noona what brings your here... Oh yah boss he is up stairs" Kaminari says with a pretty smile.

(A.N : Noona; honorific for an older sister in Korea)

"Ahh you have dayshift today?" "Yes yes I have some business to attend later so.."

"Yahhh better be an-" "Aiii you are here ehh.. come help me here I need your help " Tendōu pops up from above.

"Huh okay" Yenn looks at Kaminari "seems like boss needs to defeat a level again" "he does ehh!!" she smiles and moves towards Tendou’s house.

To be honest the whole bar was Tendou’s house but the upper floor was his bedroom and he personal space. "No intruder" read the front door of his flat or would rather say floor. She enters into the house, walks around the corridor and until she reaches the living room or rather one big room, a Japanese style room, the house wasn't that much of messy it used to be and was even clean to begin with.

"Yah yah she is here" Tendōu says looking at Yenn and calls her out "Ayy come here"

Yenn scratches her head and confusion and goes where he was sitting "wha-.... Ohh hello aunty how are you?" it was his mother. "I'm great you seem busy these days ehh.. Tendōu says that you are not talking care of yourself properly and don't drink too much dear" his mother says from the other side of the screen.

"Well it's not that much of fun when we don't drink Eomoni " Yenn says sticking out her tongue.

(A.N: Eomoni/Eomma in Korean means mother in either casual/informal way)

"See Okaa-san told yah.. she never listens to me" Tendōu pouts.

(A.N : Okaa-san in Japanese means mother)

We laugh. After few minutes of complaints and having a good laugh she said she needs to do some work so she ends the call.

"Aii I need a good 6 hours sleep plus something to eat" Yenn says lying down on the couch. "Arrhhh okay” Tendou moves up from the chair and walks towards the kitchen and starts to make something.

The days were always tiring for her and if it wasn't for Sugawara, Tendōu, Kuro and Bokūto, she would have long ago given up on life. She was thankful of them. She looks at Tendōu who cooks up something, as usual his cooking was always the best, the aroma makes her dizzy and the warm sun rays already makes her sleepy. The sounds are less distant to her now and the space between her and sleep was only a few instances far. And when the eloping sleep was finally there and all she needed was to close her eyes fully and rest; "Aiii food is ready" her rest gets corrupted.

"Eat then sleep" he said keeping the egg fry rice on the table "I have some work at the bar... Have the food and sleep and come downstairs later, okay?" he says as he heads out for the bar. All Yenn did was groan.

"Shut up and eat the food" he says smiling
