“Hazel.”
“Call that only,” clear.
The long-haired man widened his smile, his two sharp eyes drowning in the curves of his beautiful smile. “I Lynx.” His hands are stretched forward, but it's free because Hazel refuses to look at him.
As there was no response, Lynx lowered his arm. Hiding it behind your back.
“Eum, by the way, your name is quite unique. Is it possible because of your eye color, so your parents gave you the name Hazel?” I don't know, Lynx was just trying to talk about something else so the atmosphere wasn't awkward.
Hazel lungsur's two shoulders slowly as she exhaled heavily. I don't like it when a stranger tries to ruin his life.
“Close your mouth. I don't take any questions. Quickly clean up this house. I'm going out to buy breakfast,” the word is a little tart.
The smile on the man's face instantly faded, fading yet trying to understand his circumstances. “Good. Be careful on the road.”
Lynx's arms waved, though Hazel didn't see him, watching her back and disappearing from behind the door.
“I don't know what and how he lived all this time. But as much as possible, to return the favor for saving me, I will protect her in my own way,” whispered Lynx, full of confidence in my heart.
Stopping his struggling thoughts in his head, Lynx tried to focus on what he was going to do now. His head was cuddling, sweeping the view to all corners of the room.
The man had no idea where the bucket and rag Hazel had asked for before. If there is no such thing, Lynx can not clean the wet floor in the living room because the rain puddles easily.
“First of all I have to look for it in the back room.” Lynx nimbly moved both of her legs to search through all the cracks and every corner of the room touched by her gaze.
After looking around, going around to and fro with a confused look, the results ended nil. He did not find where Hazel's little bucket and rag meant. Or maybe his vision is less observant. Because in general, fox vision is sharper at night.
Lynx did not give up easily. He will look for her again, this time more thoroughly. The athletic man did not want to be considered the burden of problems that troubled Hazel. Before the girl sets foot home again, Lynx must make sure the house is clean and comfortable.
Letting Lynx focus on its activities, Hazel is currently in the middle of a market shopping center with potluck money. But a few minutes have passed, he has not decided what he wants to buy.
With the last money he had, Hazel could not buy food until the next few days. Maybe I can only eat once.
Given that Hazel now lives with a strange and troublesome man, her daily necessities will surely increase. Last night, he was fired without a week's pay.
If in the middle of the road he really does not have a solution to overcome all the problems of his life, maybe Hazel will go after his mother. Not that she wanted to give up, but Hazel was tired of trying.
“Nona? So buy or not?”
Hazel's daydream was thrown with the question of the seller who was waiting for his certainty. Embarrassed, Hazel finally pulls out the last few pieces of money in her wallet.
“Please one piece of fish only,” the door.
“Good.”
Finished shopping at the market. Hazel immediately rushed back home. Intend to cook his fish because his stomach has been rumbling since earlier.
One piece of fish is not enough if you eat both. But Hazel had no choice but to share her sweetness with the man earlier.
“I'm home.” Hazel opens the door, but she is immediately treated to a sight that stops her heartbeat for a few seconds.
How not, from end to end of the room that was looked upon by his manik, Hazel saw chaos ensue. Many of his home furniture items were scattered everywhere.
Really, it's very messy.
Don't know what Lynx really did while she was left behind, but Hazel can't control her anger if it's like this. He took care of this old house so that he could live comfortably.
That indistinct man even made everything fall apart like this. The cookware was suddenly in the middle room, the valve broom was broken in two, even all the items became dirty because of the rain puddles that had not been cleaned.
“Hey, what have you done to this house?!” hazel shouted, her net scattering all over the place, her legs stomping the floor as she walked towards the back room.
The more explosive his emotions when he saw that the man was scratching something, throwing things in front of him behind without realizing Hazel's presence.
Even one of the thrown things hit Hazel's forehead. When the girl's ringing sounded shrill, the pointed ears of the fox man appeared. Moving like being surprised.
Lynx reflexes looked back. Finding Hazel in pain while holding her forehead, her eyes instantly fleshed out perfectly. He really didn't mean to hurt the girl. And it looks like a painful lump will appear there.
“Gosh! Ii'm sorry. Since when did you come home? Sorry I didn't realize it.” Lynx tries to touch Hazel, seeing the wound on the girl's forehead.
But not yet had Lynx's fingers landed on his forehead, Hazel first brushed it off. “Don't touch me, goddamn it! What the hell are you doing? I told you to clean the house, why are you making it this mess?”
Lynx's pointed ears immediately bowed down, as well as her tail that no longer wagged. His views were taken from Hazel. Lynx realized the mistake he had made. But believe me, this is unexpected and not planned at all if it will be like this eventually.
“I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I'm trying to find the bucket and the washcloth you mean. But I'm having trouble finding him. So I intend to look for it all over the place, not realizing that I have made it all messy,” Lynx said hoping that Hazel would understand.
Upon hearing his explanation, Hazel's anger gradually descended. But the feeling of regret still remains. He still can't tolerate Lynx's mistakes. However, Hazel also cannot deny that all this is her fault.
Hazel patted her head slowly, turning her back to Lynx to neutralize her emotions. Because just by looking at the man's face, Hazel's patience felt eroded to the end.
“Hah, you are indeed troublesome. If you're looking for something, there's no need to make it all fall apart like this. I don't want to know, you have to clean things up like you did. And don't forget to clean the puddles in the middle space there.”
“... Buckets and mop cloths are in the special cabinet of cleaning furniture. It is located in the corner of the kitchen room near the door to the bathroom. Understand?” Hazel has turned her body on Lynx.
And Lynx obediently answered him with a nod of the head.
“Then I'll go take a shower. Do not just open the bathroom door. I will kill you if you dare to peek,” threatened Hazel with eyes as sharp as an eagle that can make Lynx gulp in horror.
Lynx looked paled. “A-I understand. Take it easy, I'll make sure everything's clean and in order after you shower. It's all my fault, so I'll take full responsibility.” His voice sounded a little trembling.
Hazel did not show any expression, the more vivid the aura of horror that could make Lynx unable to look at her. But even so, Lynx still praised in his heart that Hazel is a beautiful girl with a sensitive heart.
“Ya.” It was all that came out of Hazel's mouth before she finally chose to leave in front of Lynx.

Finished cleaning up while changing clothes, Hazel checked the room that previously looked like a broken ship. As far as the eyes could see and the feet kept stepping forward, Hazel was quite amazed at what she saw.
Still can't believe that the passageway leading to the kitchen is tidy without any items filling the floor. When checking the living room, it turns out Lynx who has been dripping with sweat is still struggling with a washcloth.
Mopping from one corner to the other with a small washcloth. It was seen that the man was so eager to fulfill his responsibility on the problems he had done. If this is the case, Hazel will get a little lethargic on him.
“Sorry late. A little more done. Just one more round, I have to make sure that this room is completely clean,” explained Lynx told.
Hazel nodded briefly, trying to pretend not to care. “Yes, get everything done. I'll make breakfast first.”
“Oke.” Lynx nodded in understanding.
I don't know what Hazel had in mind so she stopped her footsteps. Makes Lynx tilt his head, confused. I thought there was something the girl wanted to say.
Without turning her body, Hazel spoke again, “Don't be too strong to move your hand. That bandage you're wearing is the last bandage I've got. If your arm is hurt again, I don't want to be repotted.”
Although impressed ketus, but Lynx look happy when he heard it. He felt a sense of concern implied by Hazel's words just now. Maybe because of the natural response of his body, when happy then his tail and ears will appear simultaneously. His tail was wagging the wind, looking funny.
A little while later, Hazel had finished making breakfast. Just fry the fish with seasoning as necessary. There was no rice, for it had been a long time that he could not afford it. So the one fish he had had had to be split in half with the Lynx.
“I'll put the fish here first for a while.”
Hazel galloped forward, intending to call Lynx. He found that the man had finished the housework well. The face with a firm jawline was filled with sweat, making it look sexy. Plus the wet tight shirt made his muscles so clearly printed.
Even unconsciously, Hazel had been carried away by strange feelings that appeared and like trying to instigate. Don't forget that Hazel is a normal woman. And he admits that Lynx is the only handsome man he has ever met.
But unfortunately, Hazel can't rule out Lynx being a fox whose origin is unclear. Moreover, the man had always been draining his emotions. He does acknowledge Lynx's good looks, but thinking of falling in love with her might be impossible.
“I've finished it. Now can I eat something?” pinta Lynx while stroking the stomach.
Hazel, who had been busy looking at the man since, hurriedly turned her eyes. “Y-yes, I've made breakfast.”
“Woaa! Thank ye. I'll eat now.” So excited, Lynx went to the kitchen ahead of Hazel who was still standing on the spot.
The girl was just shaking her head at Lynx's behavior. His body was indeed bigger than her, but the expression he made and his manner were exactly like that of a five-year-old boy.
There haven't been five minutes Hazel let Lynx get to the kitchen first, believe it or not, the fish on the plate she prepared just now has been left unnoticed. The perpetrator who ate it looks greedy gnawing at the rest of the fish's head bones.
Hazel gaped without blinking. “You spent it alone?”
Lynx nodded innocently, as she did not know. “Hm. It's tasty. I love fish.”
The limp in both of his legs made Hazel's body's defenses slide away on the cold hardwood floor. His hope to prop up his tummy rumbling should be dashed.
“Fucking basis,” umpat Hazel, his sympathy that had appeared on Lynx suddenly disappeared.
Lynx who did not understand why Hazel suddenly cursed, immediately looked at her with a questioning look.
“What's wrong?”
Know how Hazel's expression is now? His red face held back tears, both of his hands were already clenched, he held his breath for a moment to cultivate anger when shouting later.
“You ... Go awayl. I'm pulling out my words to accept you to stay here. I realized, I do not have enough patience to face all your behavior that makes me angry easily. Moreover, my life is too difficult to accommodate a person like you.”
