7 seconds behind the neck

Break the salmon into small pieces and pop into your mouth.The action is very beautiful.Why is he so good at using chopsticks?Hayato felt it was incredible since he was a child.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Yeah. Not yet."

"yes."

My brother has straight black hair and black eyes.It's completely different from myself with brown curly hair and brown eyes.

"What's wrong?"

He seemed to be a little concerned about his gaze and looked uncomfortable, but then he said to himself, "Huh? Ah, that's it." He reached out and took out his wallet from the coat pocket hanging on the back of the chair.

"Come on, pocket money. Because of the commotion during the Chinese New Year this year, I haven't given you the New Year's money yet, have I?"

"That commotion" refers to the incident in which my brother's wife suddenly ran away from home when we had dinner together during the Chinese New Year.The elder brother chased her away and never came back.

"No, no! That's not what I meant!"

That's what I said, but I still accepted it.

My brother's facial features are very regular, and if he insists on speaking, he always gives people a relatively inconspicuous impression.But in fact it is not the case.As long as he smiles, he will emit a faint light; or only the other side will become warm as if it has become spring.

For Hayato, as long as he sees that, he will always be deeply intoxicated.

However, this matter will never be told to anyone.Because as long as you know about this matter, it is enough for you alone.

"I am leaving."

After my brother went to work, the spring-like brilliance and good smell were taken away with him.My brother's pet dog, a large mongrel named Hikozaemon, was also sitting next to Hayato, wagging his tail slowly with a lonely expression on his face.

"Mom, is brother planning to move back home?"

Hayato asked his mother.

"The kid didn't say anything."

Mother let out a sigh.

"He just said, 'Starting today, can I come home?'. Since his room is still the same, he can come back anytime. Forget it, the child is getting old and really needs help. When the time comes, he should speak up by himself.”

"He can just do this...just go home..."

Mother laughed.

"Because Hayato likes my brother the most."

"……talent!"

Hayato stood up abruptly.

"That's, that's not the case! It's because I'm taking Hikozaemon out of the house, and all the work that should be done by my brother has become my responsibility!"

Mother oh~~ let out a sound, unmoved at all.

"Hayato, do you want breakfast?"

"Wait before eating, I'm going to sleep again!"

Does it have a smell?

Iori stood on the station platform, trying to smell her own scent.Although I don't understand it very well, the weather is going to warm up soon, so you have to pay attention to your personal hygiene.

The station is located in the outskirts of what is known as a suburban residential area.The platform was crowded with people who were going to work in Tokyo.After the tram pulled into the station, the whole person was pushed in and got on the train.

Suddenly a scent came.

It was a very fresh, mellow aroma.Iori couldn't help turning his head to look.When a man's face with no resemblance appeared in front of my eyes, I was relieved but also very disappointed.

That cologne is the same as the one used by Guichuan.

While grabbing the ring, Iori gave a self-deprecating wry smile.

There was no way that guy would appear in such a place.

No matter what, it is impossible for him to know where his hometown is.

——Iori.

As if tempted by the aroma, Iori remembered the voice of Kibune.It was a very soft sound, too sweet to tickle; his fingers penetrated unimaginably deep, and there—

No, I can't think of it.

My face started to turn red, and I felt like I was going to have another fever.

A week ago, I had a relationship with Guichuan and was played with by him at will.

Although I was treated like that, my body returned to normal after one night, probably because I ate the nutritious dinner that Kifune made.Then in the morning light, Iori, who regained her composure, began to deeply regret why she was so lax and let your boat enter the house casually.

Since that day, my apartment has become a difficult place to breathe.

The entrance where you let the boat enter the door that night; the kitchen where he made dishes; the dining table where you ate peaches from his hands; besides, I was pressed against the wall by him, and I felt through his fingers that I had never experienced it before. pleasure; and then in that bed again...

Because the recurring afterimages were too vivid, Iori had no choice but to live in a daily rented apartment near the company as if fleeing, and has been working from there since then.

Until yesterday, the memory of caress deeply left on the skin finally faded, so Iori was ready to go home.However, when Iori got an unaddressed envelope in the mailbox downstairs—it was thrown directly into the mailbox—the degree of shock in his heart even surprised him.After opening the envelope with trembling hands, I found that there was a key and a note with a mobile phone number inside.Feeling as if I had touched something taboo, I hurriedly threw everything back into the mailbox.

My breathing became short of breath, and I really couldn't walk back to my apartment room, and the daily rental apartment had been withdrawn, so I had to temporarily decide to go back to my hometown.

There was a jolt, and the tram stopped.Arriving at the transfer station, Iori was pushed out of the tram again by the crowd, and parted ways with the man wearing the same perfume as Kifune.

So separate and forget.Whether it is him or himself.

——Why do you have to forget? ——

Something that was just born was asking itself innocently.

——You obviously feel so comfortable.I really want to do it again with him, this time it will definitely be more comfortable; I really want to taste the moment when I was melted by him and became one, and my whole body was in a trance——

This wish that could be blurted out as soon as she saw him, Iori suppressed it forcefully.Extremely hard, just to keep it from running out.

It's okay, this thing will settle down in no time.

Besides, I and he belong to different companies, and there are not many opportunities to work together.Even if we met in the company, he was surrounded by everyone, and it was impossible for him to do anything.

As long as the time passes like this, the memories engraved in the body will gradually fade away.During this period, I may change jobs, and he may no longer be in charge of his company, so that he will not even have the opportunity to meet.Then even the number of recalls of that event will become less and less, and the memory will gradually be covered up and weathered by other things, and finally it should become something that "never happened".

In order not to think about Takafune, Iori decided to focus on work.Maybe he was a little too focused, but he raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly found that most of his team members had left work, and there were only two or three kittens left on the whole floor.Iori quickly checked the time, only to realize that there was not much time left until the last train left; if he wanted to return to his hometown in the suburbs, he had to leave quickly.

When Iori was about to walk into the elevator that happened to stop on this floor, he suddenly hesitated.The interior of the elevator late at night can be said to be a secret room.But looking left and right, no one around was trying to take the elevator.That's right, no matter how you say it, it's because I think too much.

Iori got on the elevator, pressed down to the first floor, and leaned against the innermost wall.

Today also ended smoothly, it's great that I didn't see your ship.

The tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and the semi-circular floor display began to move at an unpleasantly slow pace, and then immediately stopped with a shock.

"……what?"

The floor is displayed as the sixth floor.This floor is where the personnel department is located, but there is still someone there?Iori was quite surprised.

The elevator door opened, and Guichuan walked in.

He pressed the "Close" button, and the elevator doors mercilessly closed, leaving the two of them alone inside.

Iori couldn't help cursing himself for being stupid.I should stand near the elevator buttons, so that I can get out of the elevator immediately, or at least I can get out of the elevator on the next floor.

this elevator.This unusually slow elevator, which always caused congestion during rush hours, now had to be alone with him in it until it reached the first floor.

"Haven't you been home lately?"

Your ship asks.

Iori didn't answer.

"After that, I went to visit several times, but you were not there."

"...That has nothing to do with you."

"It doesn't matter?"

He turned around.

Iori was almost stuck in the corner of the elevator.

"You are really ruthless, how could you forget that matter."

His lips were slightly curved, looking cruel and tender.

"I still remember. That night, you hugged me tightly while crying."

"you……!"

Iori cast an angry look at Kifune.

A burst of aroma drifted over.Composed of oranges, flowers, trees, vanilla, and most importantly, the scent of Kibune itself is added to complete the aroma.It's completely different from the smell in the tram this morning.

All the cells that form Iori are attached to Kifune at this moment, trying to go towards him.

It's fine to go down four floors, no matter what he says, he can't be shaken; once he finds his confused appearance, it's right in his arms.

Your ship put a hand on his own shoulder.

"There are still marks on my back. It's the scratches left when you were too comfortable to bear."

No
