"Is it really okay for me stay?" I asked hesitantly to Yui.
"Of course. Why would you ask that?" The girl walking beside me questioned.
"Well, I mean, a random guy staying over at your place; doesn't that make you feel creeped out?"
"Ren, you are my childhood friend. Why would I feel creeped out around you? You're probably the guy I can trust the most!" She responded with a cheerful smile.
Yui Saikawa and I had been really good friends back when we were little. But we lost touch due to her family shifting in the city, while I stayed at the village. And now here I was, coming to the city myself for high school without a place to stay.
"You shouldn't trust people so easily dumb-dumb. Sometimes the person you trust the most will break your trust." I said with a stern expression.
She had always been a kind girl. Her appearance made her even more likeable. She had shining light brown hair flowing till her waist. Her milky, pale skin with her small yet curvy body made her very popular even at the first day of highschool.
"Haha, your pretty phycological sometimes." She joked.
"Yeah."
And after a few more minutes of talking nonsense like that, we arrived at her house. At first I could not believe when she said this is where I live. It felt like a joke for a second until she actually walked in. It was a large two-story house, and when compared to the other houses around, it felt like a elephant amongst ants.
"You actually live here?!" I managed to mutter, trying to take the whole view in.
"Why are you so surprised? It's not that big." She calmly replied and she opened the door. "Mom, I'm home."
"Welcome back, Yui. Oh my, Ren, you've grown up into a big boy!" Saikawa-san gasped looking at me.
"Thank you for letting me stay ma'am. This might not be much, but please accept it." I said with a slight bow handing over the sweets I brought from the village to the woman in front.
"Huh, I love these sweets so much! I haven't had them from a long time. Thank you so much Ren." The woman, probably in her late thirties gladly accepted.
Yui's mother was pretty much the same as her in appearance. Her light brown hair, tied into a pony tail in the back while some of the strands in the front let loose. Even while wearing a simple long sleeve top and fitted black pants, she looked beautiful.
As I looked down bowing, I noticed something strange on the floor. I looked up, about to ask Yui, but just then she held my hand and dragged me with her.
"Come on, let me show you around the house." She joyfully said and dragged me with her.

"So, this is my room." We entered the first room. The room was neatly organized. The inside smelled like flowers.
"Wow, you really keep it very neat!"
"Oh, it's nothing. Please have a seat." She said as she herself sat on the chair. And with nothing else to sit on, the only place remaining was her bed. I hesitantly sat down and started chatting with her. As I was talking, my fingers seemed to have poked something.
"Huh? What's that?" I wondered as I looked down to grab the thing. It was pink, with two semicircles-
"Ah Ren!"
"Oh no! It's your-" before I could complete my sentence, Yui took possession of her bra. We both became completely red from head to toe, trying to avoid eye contact. There was an awkward silence in the room.
"L-let's go see your room too." She finally broke the silence as we both got up and went to see my room.
My room was of equal size, which left me completely amazed. It didn't have much except a bed, clearly more than a person needed and a desk.
After a while, her mom called us for dinner. The day was a little exhausting and I went to sleep right after.
