Sunday.
The sun shoned brightly. People seemed to be busy again. The streets were crowded with people. A traffic jam could already be seen. Almost all people woke up now. But not for the couple who stayed up late at night just to hold hands with each other. Haru and Akatsuki was sleeping comfortably on the sofa. Haru was leaning at the left arm of the sofa, while Akatsuki's head was buried in Haru's chest. Her hands was also embracing Haru. Seems so much just to be a temporary couple? No it's not even temporary, it's a fake relationship.
While the couple was still in dreamland; a call woke up the two of them.
only a milisecond passed when they realized their awkward position while sleeping.
Akatsuki blushed and pushed Haru who was still left in a daze while smelling the faint fragrance coming from Akatsuki.
*Rriinggggg*
Du. Du. the call connected.
*You brat! Where are you? I said you need to go home early. Now what? It's already noon! Do you plan on not coming back? I can send all your clothes then."
"Mom, relax. I'll go there immediately.
On the other hand, Akatsuki rushed to her room and didn't notice that Haru was talking to his mom.
"Haruuu! When are you planning to get home? I'm so tired from what we did last night. I still need to rest." Akatsuki shouted from inside the room. Haru rushed inside the bedroom and showed her phone to her. She kept quiet and can hear some nagging on the other line. Haru then went back to the living room.
"Mom, it's not what you think! You've misunderstood! Takamura and I are just watching anime." Haru hurriedly made excuses. But after a long time of bullsh*tting and making up excuses, his mom didn't believe him.
"You'all know the consequences when you got home" her mom said angrily at him.
Then the line was cut off.
"Damn, I actually thought my luck from here would change." Haru secretly thought in his mind while staring at Akatsuki who was blushing. "Akatsuki-san, i'm heading off. See you in a while." Haru stood up and was supposed to leave.
"Why don't you eat here? I'll cook something for you."
"Thanks, but I need to get going." Haru said with a dry laugh.
....
At his parents house.
Haru gobbled down the leftover food while his mother was nagging from the living room.
"Mom! It was just a misunderstanding. Takamura and I are just watching anime. Why won't you believe me? Did I do something like that in the past?"
"Just let the boy have the time of his life." His dad protected him. "By the way, did you use protection?"
"Dad! What the hell are you talking about?!" Haru said almost choking.
"I dialed your friend's phone yesterday and told me you're not there." His dad whispered beside him. "I haven't told your mom about it. For me it's fine but I don't know for your mom. Goodluck!" then his dad left them and went to the store.
After much persuasion, he finally resolved the matter.
....
Night.
Haru was laying on his bed while using his phone to browse the internet. Haru got into a lot of trouble because of Akatsuki. Thinking about it, he still hasn't got his revenge. He checked his call logs and found the number that Akatsuki used to dial him. After ringing for two seconds, the call went through.
"Akatsuki-san?"
"Haru? This is me "
"Did you know how much trouble you gave me?! With that being said l, you need to repay me."
"Repay you? Yeah sure, you went to my apartment; slept there and clearly took advantage of me. Now you want me to repay you? Haru could hear her giggle on the other line.
"Took advantage of you? You were the one who clearly took advantage of me. You used me as a shield. You even made me pay for our dinner. And when I was off guard, you kissed me!"
"Kissed who?"
"Me"
"I don't remember."
"You do."
"I don't"
"You do."
"Nope!"
"Fine then! you didn't"
"I'll treat you to a meal next time dear. I'm hanging up. Byeeee."
"What dear are you talking ab---." Then the call was cut off. Haru then planted his face on a pillow and foolishly laughed. Unknowingly, he entered the dreamland with a faint smile on his face.
