CHAPTER 7

They are on the way to Yuta’s car when they saw Yuya parked beside it. When Yuya went out of his car, he saw the two of them.

“Oi! Yuta, you’re dating someone again? Matte…What’s going on here?” Yuya recognized Kei and approached the two.

“Masaka… you… cosplay?!” Yuya looked at her from head to toe. Seeing Kei with that outfit makes him convince more that Kei might be a girl. Yuta put his arms on Yuya’s shoulder saying, “We’ve been found out already. Don’t worry, Yuya will keep it a secret, right? I’m the one who told him to wear this for disguise. You know, fans might follow us”. Kei panicked and can’t look directly to Yuya’s eyes.

“Ah, that’s why. I thought you’re cosplaying. Jaa! I’m going!” Yuya realized that Kei can’t be a girl with that flat chest. So he left the two and went into a restaurant.

“Phew! That was close! Maa, I’ll take you home now.” Yuta guided her towards the car and took her home. Kei is still unbelievably nervous of what happened back then. She thought Yuya will find out of her true identity but thanks to Yuta’s almost unbelievable explanation. I mean, who would not think that Kei is a girl wearing those clothes? Yup! Only the most dense Yuya will! That night, Kei was unable to sleep comfortably thinking of what to say to Yuya the next morning.

Kei was eating her breakfast cereal when Yuya entered the kitchen with only a towel on his waist, wet hair dripping. He opened the fridge and took a bottle of milk and drinks it. Kei was about to take a spoonful of cereals when she sighted the view in front of her. A drop of water from Yuya’s hair rolls down towards his body. She dropped the spoon on the bowl and froze but Yuya noticed her.

“Oi! Don’t get the kitchen dirty! And stop playing with your food!”

Kei finally realized that she was looking at Yuya’s body intentionally then shook her head.

“Gomenasai! I’ll clean this up after this.” She busy herself finishing the cereals and hiding her blush.

Kei was playing the piano at the music room when Kota entered. She smiled at him but he hugged her tightly.

“I know you’re a girl” he whispered on her ear.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” she just smiled and pushed him away.

“I heard what you and your manager was talking about during the party”

“Ano… please keep it a secret for me. Please Kota!”

“Why did you have to do all this just to get closer to us?”

“Yes, I’m a real big fan of yours but… When I sang my debut song on the stage, I felt really warm inside me and the audience cheer motivated me more. I want to continue to sing and perform in front of them. Because of the fans, I’ve gained my self-confidence to follow my true dream and that is to be an idol”

“But what will you do if they found out?”

“Well, as long as they don’t, I will give my best to perform and give love to them… but if they do, I’ll go back to America and forget everything”

“Is that how you wanted to end it?”

“If only I was a boy! I shouldn’t have any problem! But I’m not and you know it. If that’s the only way for them to forgive me, then I’ll forget everything and leave Japan!” she can’t stop crying while explaining to Kota. He hugged her again to ease her worries.

“That’s all I need to accept you. I’ll protect you and I’ll always be here for you”

“A…arigatou…”

They didn’t know that Hikaru was behind the door listening to them. He was really surprised of what she revealed. He ran to his room and think… And think… Now that he found out that Kei is actually a girl, he can now tell her his true feelings.

Hikaru noticed how Kota is being protective towards Kei at school. He’s always by her side and never leaves her alone. They 4 of them are now eating at the cafeteria.

“Here Kei, you can have my sushi” Hikaru gave her 3pcs sushi

“Waah! Arigatou Hikaru~”

“This tempura is great, have some” Kota put his tempura on her plate then she ate it.

“Hmm… Arigatou!”

And the two is obviously competing for Kei’s attention. But Kei notices that Yuya is not eating much. He just ate a vegetable salad.

“Ano… Do you want some Takaki?” she pushed her plate nearer Yuya but he shook his head.

“Yuya’s on diet. He thinks that he’s gaining more weight these past few days” Kota remarked.

“Yeah, and not to mention his girlfriend being worried about him” Hikaru said while munching on a sushi.

“Hey! She’s not my girlfriend, I told you!” Yuya stood and left them.

“Ne, who’s the girl?” she elbowed Hikaru curiously.

“You know, Daiki Arioka at your party. She keep asking Yuya to have a date and calls him everytime. “

“Ah, sou ka” She felt jealous of what she heard. She can’t forget what Hikaru told her and kept thinking about it until they got home. She is now seating in a couch in the living room when the doorbell rings. She stood up and opened the door to see Daiki in a cute pink dress.

“Ano, sorry for the bother. Is Yuya home?” Daiki asked cutely

“Ah, yes. He is, come in” Kei invited her and let Daiki wait in the living room. Kei went to knock Yuya’s room and told him that Daiki is waiting for him. The door opened immediately and he ignored Kei walking towards the living room.

“Why are you here?” he bluntly asked

“Ahm… ano… It’s my birthday tomorrow and I would like you and the rest to come” Daiki said smilingly and handed an invitation to him.

“Sorry I…” Yuya’s words were interrupted by Kei

“Hontou? Jaa, we’ll definitely come. Ne, takaki?”

“Uwaah! Arigatou Yuya, Inoo-kun. Jaa! See you tomorrow night!” and Daiki left the house.

“What are you saying? I’m not going there!” Yuya shouted at Kei.

“B-ut… I thought you want to”

“Isn’t it rude to ignore your girlfriend’s birthday?” Kota showed up with a big smile on his face.

“Yeah! You should be grateful, you have that cute girlfriend!” Hikaru elbowed him on his side.

“How many times do I have to tell you she’s not my girlfriend? Sheesh!” Yuya walked out and went to his room.

“Maa maa! Teasing our pouting Yuyan like that is so fun!” Hikaru said.

“So, who wants to go shopping tomorrow for the gifts?” Kota asked
