Always...always That kind of thing would never bother me.

Actually, just pretend to forget. Well, there's no benefit here.

Mother’s day in Haizaki family.

Mother is the one who gave birth to us. Mother is the one who raises us. A mother is a person who is always at our side. A mother is the one who gives everything to her child. Have you done anything for her yet?...Mother's Day this year..... Pip!

The sound of one of the television sets was turned off by a heavy hand who had just walked down into the living room in annoyance. He forgot to turn off the television yesterday evening. Haizaki Shogo, the young man with that hand, thought before letting out a long breath, but he couldn't help that he forgot to turn off the television when...

Yesterday, he sat and drank several cans of beer in front of the TV. Just being able to walk back to his room to sleep is considered good.

It was probably strange that no one had turned off that television, because right now there was only one young man in the entire house, a thick hand reaching up and idly combing through his dreadlocked hair before he stopped when he saw that it was messy and It's all sticky.

The young man furrowed his brows at the feeling of his own hands, which had been doing this hairstyle for a long time. Maybe it was time to make amends. I thought about it, so my long legs walked up to the second floor of the house to pick up my favorite leather jacket and wallet that I had left behind. on the bed So he slowly left the house.

The glass windows in the shop on the way to the hair salon reflected a tall, fit young man with dark black dreadlocks. Even though it was the color of his hair that had been dyed and was starting to fade a bit, and that face that looked irritated all the time. Even though it looks scary, it has the charm and scent of a man traveling at night that is inviting.

Two feet walked and stopped in front of the regular hair salon before opening the door and entering as was their habit.

"Oh! Whew~ Haizaki-chan welcomes you," came the high-pitched voice of a thin man dressed in pink clothes. When he saw Haizaki Shogo A regular customer walked into the store.

"Oh, hey...." the young man answered in a tone that was not very pleased.

“I haven't seen Haizaki-chan in a long time~ What are you doing today? Or are you coming to see me?” The owner of the voice was still speaking in a cheerful voice without fear, unlike the young man in front of him who was beginning to have an atmosphere surrounding him.

“Shut up, I'm just here to fix your hair. I'd like it to return to its original color too." He said pointing at his own dreadrock.

“Oh~ How cruel~ Haizaki-chan, we haven't seen each other in a really long time. But it's okay. I'll arrange for Haizaki-chan to sit on the chair. I'll fix it for you first,” the beautiful man in the eye-catching colored dress said with a wink before stretching out his hand to the empty chair for the young man to sit on and then fixing his almost disheveled hairstyle. that out

“Wow~Damn! You can't~ Haizaki-chan hasn't taken care of his own hair, right? You look like you're all messed up. If you come any later, I'll shave your whole head and make you look handsome.” The man who seemed to be the owner of the shop continued to speak, even though the young man only responded with um and um or. Otherwise, you're busy! Be quiet! Anyway

Until a considerable amount of time had passed and all that was left was to style the young man in front of him into a style.

“No matter how many times I see it, I like it~ I like it. Haizaki-chan's hair color is gray from birth like this. It's hard to find if it dies. I don't know why I dyed it~" He said while combing the hair of the young man sitting in front of the mirror from the dark black hair of a dreadlock style. The hair was completely removed, leaving only shoulder-length gray hair that looked disheveled and messy.

“By the way, Haizaki-chan, today is Mother's Day. Have you prepared a special gift for Mom?~Sister, you sent a handmade wig to Mom. I'm sure Mother Sister will be delighted~" A high-pitched voice asked. Before she started speaking, she didn't wait for the young man to answer at all, knowing that even if she asked, the young man in front of her wouldn't reply anyway.

The voice of a young man with a young heart passed through the ears of the people in front of him, some listening and some not listening before the gray-haired young man fell into a trance.

Hmm? Mother's Day...read that. By the way, TV was showing this story this morning as well. Is that so?...He hasn't seen his mother since high school. No..maybe go back to before.

Since childhood, the young man has never known his father. His family consists of his mother and older brother. The picture that he was familiar with was his mother making his favorite karaage in the kitchen at home. He especially liked the karaage that his mother made. It was more delicious than any restaurant I've ever eaten at. Mother's back in the kitchen has always stuck with him, even though I can't see it now.

Why...is it because Mom isn't home at work? It's probably because my mother works to take care of my two children who are of schooling age......but maybe it's more about me not coming home, even though my mother works and comes home late. But he came back even more late. Mother went to work early in the morning, but sometimes he himself wasn't home either. Mom...I haven't seen you in a long time.

“...Chan...Saki-chan...Haizaki-chan!” His train of thought was suddenly cut off by the sharp voice of the girl-at-heart young man who owned the hair salon.

“Oh!~What are you doing? Haizaki-chan!! I'll tell you that I finished it. Look, it's great, isn't it~” he said as he showed the young man the work that he was so proud of through the mirror.

His light gray hair looked as soft as a cat's fur. It was short and a little messy, but it looked like it was intentionally styled that way. The short haircut revealed two pairs of earrings perched on his ears. of a young man clearly

"How are you? You did your best~" The shop owner stood and wiggled his ladle back and forth, urgently wanting an answer from the person sitting in front of the mirror.

The young man examined himself in the mirror before turning left and right, looking satisfied.

“It's not bad, I just like it.” A sharp smile appeared on the face of the owner of the light gray hair, satisfied before he took out the money and handed it to the young man with a young heart, not thinking about asking the price at all. And the recipient just smiled no matter what before letting his customer easily walk out of the store.

Haizaki Shogo walked out of the barber shop aimlessly. He doesn't want to go home right now, even though he doesn't know where to go next, but staying at home is a bit boring for him. Unfortunately, it's still daytime and the sun is shining down. Right in the middle of the head, if it was late at night, he wouldn't hesitate to walk to a nice nightclub or snack bar to go out with a girl.

Maybe....he should go see his mother. Maybe she was working. And going only for Mother's Day would be too ugly for Haizaki Shogo, who doesn't care about any festival unless he can flirt with girls.

Mother's Day is just one of those days that we invented ourselves to be Mother's Day. Even though it's not today, we can still see our mother every day.. just that they don't want to meet that person themselves if it's like this. Then Wouldn't it be a bit ugly to go and see him just one day? The young man frowned busily.

Before he could fall into that pond of thought again, he had to be tripped up by the soft touch of a woman's body on his arm.

“Sho~go~kun~” A sweet, clear voice from thin lips that were tinged with lip gloss inviting to taste, he said pleadingly before looking at the other person with mischievous eyes, like a child playing hide and seek and finding the person who was hiding. already

“Huh?” the young man answered in the back of his throat before looking down to examine the woman who had hugged his arm. Her sweet face was adorned with a lot of makeup and wavy brown hair and dress. One Piece could follow that fashion show without any embarrassment. He didn't know this person, the young man thought. Actually, it was just a club. Maybe it was someone the young man had slept with, but he himself didn't remember the name. with every woman's face, so he just responded gently and gave her a look asking what the matter was.

But it seemed like the girl couldn't interpret the meaning that was being conveyed through those eyes, so she could only smile back and answer the young man with words.

“Wow~ Shogo-kun, you really changed your hairstyle? Miina can't remember, we haven't seen each other since the club closed~"

His personal pronouns were said without the young man having to waste time thinking about who the young woman next to him was or what her name was. Since he had already said it all, he wouldn't be able to remember everything, but at least he would. It looked like he had something to pass the time with. The young man smiled slightly before turning to answer the woman.

“That's it, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you, Miina?” she said, reaching out to wrap one hand around the girl's waist and the girl didn't seem to resist.

“Today, Miina came to go shopping and ran into Shogo-kun. Hey Shogo-kun, would you like to sit down and eat something with Miina's friend~Auntie~” A sweet, slightly pleading voice said, immediately pulling the tall young man into a nearby coffee shop without waiting for any answer from the young man in front of him. If you wait for an answer, maybe from the coffee shop you're aiming for, you might end up at the hotel instead.

The young man who was dragged to the coffee shop by the young woman casually glanced at the menu that was given to him from the waiter before ordering a cup of coffee. His eyes suddenly caught sight of a little child at the next table handing a clean white carnation to who was assumed to be the child's mother.

Even if it's Haizaki Shogo I myself don't know that white carnations are a symbol for Mother's Day. A long time ago, he was like that boy who once handed a white carnation to his mother as well. Let's just say...for the last time. The reason I gave flowers to her was probably in elementary school when the school had students plant flowers and give them to their mothers on Mother's Day. Thinking about it, it's funny that at that time he was such a child who was almost so easy-going.

The sweet voice of the woman in front of him invites the tall young man to chat endlessly. If it were him in normal times, he would definitely not hesitate to drop sweet words or touch the woman in front of him, but right now I don't know why. He looked bored and in no mood to do anything about that matter. So he could only smile a little to win the girl's heart or answer. Well, just go without showing that you're listening.

The scent of iris coffee rose to his nose. He looked down at his coffee, which had been served since he didn't know when. Today he seemed very distracted. A strong hand reached out and grabbed the handle of the coffee cup and took a sip, hoping that the coffee and whiskey mixed in would help him consciously listen to the girl in front of her complain.

But his damned ears eavesdropped on the conversation between the little boy and the mother at the next table who were talking about various things. What was it that made him look so absent-minded even though he was having so much fun? Cute girls come and talk together, or maybe it's because of mothers......just Mother's Day will have such an influence on him like this, with someone who doesn't care about the festival like this person? That's stupid.

It's just about the farm and the surrounding atmosphere that takes you there. Because everywhere they kept talking about his mother, including the girl in front of him.

“Shogo-kun!! Are you listening to Miina?!” A clear voice rang out when he saw that the young man had been absent-minded for a while.

“Listen, are you listening to Miina's argument with her mother?” A false smile adorned his face again whenever he talked to a girl who seemed to like him. Smiles like this always happen.

“That's exactly what Miina is really angry about. Even though Miina really wants to eat a fancy steak or go to a French restaurant, Miina's mom is. Instead, he said that just eating hamburger would be enough. Miina doesn't like it at all." The girl said angrily.

“Huh? That's really bad.” The young man's words seemed to be completely opposite to his current state of mind. Just how good was it to eat and still expect luxury things? The young man thought to himself, if it was him, if it was something that person did. Even if you don't like it, you'll eat it all, or it might taste better if you take it from your older brother.

Brother....by the way, will the good brother who went out to rent a dormitory come back on Mother's Day? Maybe he'll come back and bring some carnations to his mother. If he tries to go home and see.....

The young man's thoughts stopped when two mothers and daughters at the next table got up and walked out of the shop, holding hands. As well as going to buy ingredients to prepare dinner together, the images that we saw suddenly overlapped with those of him when he was a child, with his mother leading him and his older brother on each side to go buy ingredients in the shopping area of ​​the city.

“Shogo-chan, what would you like to eat today?” A familiar voice that conveyed a gentleness rang out in my memory.

“I want to eat karaage~” the little gray-haired boy answered cheerfully, earning smiles from his mother and older brother.

“So today, it's better to make Shogo-chan's favorite karaage. What do you say, Choji?" he said, turning to ask the slightly older boy who was smiling cheerfully.

“Yes, let's eat karaage, Mom,” the older boy replied before Haizaki His younger brother Shogo would interrupt.

“What if I grow up? I'll make a mountain of karaage for mom to eat too~”

“Oh..Is that Shogo-chan? I'll wait." The mother's voice responded well to the child's words with a smile before the three of them went to go shopping with laughter and the cheering sounds of the Haizaki brothers and sisters. That happiness is..a story that happened a long time ago of a young man............

His light gray eyes trembled as he thought of that time. He left all the images behind, whether it was the faint smell of coffee and whiskey that still rose up to the nose of the cute girl he was talking to or something. Anyway, whatever it is, whatever it is, it's like he went to his mother and did good things for just one day. Nevermind, he doesn't know what he did or what it was. All he knew was that if he went home now, maybe he would be able to see his mother, who was not the mother who only existed in his memories, again after not seeing her for a long time.

The young man got up and ran out of the store. Not even paying attention to the woman's screaming and yelling the name of the young man who had betrayed her. In addition to not listening to her, he suddenly left A.

“Shougo-kun!!! Come back here, Haizaki Shogo!! You're going too far....let's do this. Who do you think you are? Come back first. You can't do this to Miina. ......And who will pay for your share?!!!” The woman squealed before slamming the high heels she was wearing on the ground in frustration.

Haizaki Shogo ran past the crowd and onto a familiar path. I don't know why he was in such a hurry. Maybe it was because his mother was about to leave for work. Maybe it's because right now he wants to meet his mother. Maybe it's because of the influence of Mother's Day that has made him like this. But that's okay because right now he wants to go back to the gentle woman. The person he loves more than any woman.

At this time, he didn't think about anything anymore and ran without tiring. Even though he was panting, beads of sweat ran down his face and neck. But even so, he kept running to get to where he wanted to go.

It wasn't long before the young man saw a familiar house. He stopped in front of the door and opened it without hesitation.

The first image that appeared before his eyes was the sweet, wrinkled face of the person he called Mother standing in front of the doorway about to go to work. There was a white carnation in his hand. Needless to say, there was a white carnation in his hand. It probably belonged to the older brother who was standing behind his mother right now. They both looked at the young man who was now leaning on his arms and knees like someone who had recovered from running.

“Oh~ Oh! Shogo-chan..that's me...come on. Look, did you come back so quickly today?” The voice of a man who was only a year older than him spoke, followed by the warm voice that he had always known and was familiar with.

“Shogo..is something wrong? Why do you look tired..............”

Before his mother could finish speaking, a tall young man's strong hand grabbed a middle-aged woman and held him in a tight embrace. The young man's eloquent face was buried on the shoulder of a woman who had the honor of being a mother. of himself before slowly saying something that had been on his mind throughout the past home run.

“Happy Mother's Day..if you're done with work Let's eat dinner together tonight and I'll make a big pile of karaage for mom to eat." He said before looking up with a smile as bright as yesterday when he used to go shopping with the market. Mother and brother

Tears filled the mother's eyes before she raised her hand, shaken by the unexpected discovery, to hug her youngest son.

“Well, let's eat together tonight.” His mother's smile that he saw right now was more beautiful than the smile of any woman he had ever met, even though his mother's eyes were still filled with tears. Those tears of joy made her look more beautiful than anything in his eyes.

Maybe tonight he will stop traveling and go buy ingredients to cook dinner and wait for his mother to come back from working with his brother. Ah..and the most important thing is that he also wants to give a big bouquet of carnations to his mother.

Tonight, the Haizaki household was still full of laughter and smiles, just like yesterday.
