Chapter 13 - Get Together

Kenzo accidentally bumped Izumi while happily exploring the bamboo sanctuary. Megumi's irresistible beauty caught his attention. "Hey, who's that girl? She's totally my type," said Kenzo as he hits his elbow to Izumi's arm. "Huh? Who? Ah... Megumi? You can have her. I would appreciate it if you will date her," said Izumi as he stared at Megumi with a lifeless eye. "All right! Thanks, Izu--" as Kenzo was about to thank Izumi, Mayumi heard what his cousin said.

"Just what are you planning to do again, pervert?!" Mayumi caught his cousin being flirty again. She didn't hesitate to give a hand chop on his cousin's head. The two then started to fight. Megumi and the rest heard the commotion and immediately went to Izumi's place.

"Hey, what's wr-- Kenzo-senpai! Mayumi! What are you doing here? Are you here to celebrate Christmas as well?" asked Haruki. "Haruki!!! I missed you, so I followed you. Yeah, we're celebrating Christmas here." replied Mayumi. She jumped and hugged Haruki so tight. Mayumi has had a crush on Haruki since their high school days. "Forget that. Let's sleep together tonight, okay?" she added. Haruki's face turned pale and as if his soul had left his body. Izumi laughed so hard that even Kenzo and Mayumi were surprised.

"I didn't know you can also laugh out loud, Izumi. It's cute. I wonder if I shall date you?" Izumi glared at Kenzo, and it intimidated him. "What's wrong with you senpai? I didn't know you can also flirt with guys but are you sure you can do it? Or are you just curious because of the scandal?" he queried. Izumi approached the trembling Kenzo and gently touched his face. "I wonder if you actually found out how I play. But are you really sure about it?" he added. Kenzo's trembling went away, and he went along with the atmosphere that Izumi had set. As he pulled Izumi closer, Izumi broke his balance, and Kenzo immediately caught his waist.

"I am pretty sure about it. And yes, I was curious about the scandal since that man in the video looks exactly like you. For the record, I still don't know how you play. Well then, shall we get to business?" asked the confident Kenzo.

"Of course." agreed Izumi. "But if you saw the interview, you should know that the picture was real and it is only for our movie project," emphasized Izumi. As their faces go closer, Mayumi stops talking to Haruki and is focused on what's happening on the other side. Her nose began to bleed.

"Ah, heaven. I never thought I can witness BL in real life." After that, Mayumi fainted. Yuuji and Haruki panicked. Haruki immediately carried Mayumi on his back. As they looked in the direction where Mayumi looked earlier, they were shocked. Haruki called Megumi's attention, and he pointed at Izumi's location. Megumi was surprised. As the two were about to kiss, she rushed to their side and immediately stopped them from kissing.

"Senpai! What do you think you are doing to my Izumi?!" Megumi clings to Izumi's arm tightly and eventually hugs him. "He's mine, for your information!" she added. Izumi sighed deeply and made a facepalm as Megumi pouts her face. Kenzo was shocked.

"Eh? I didn't know you already had a girlfriend. What a bummer." disappointed, Kenzo started to ruffle his hair. "That's why I said, I would greatly appreciate it if you dated this bookworm who is currently hugging me and making a cute face," said Izumi

"Harukiiiii!!! Izumi called me cu---. Mmmffhhh! Hmmpfhh!!" Izumi immediately covered Megumi's mouth. "Shut your mouth up, or else we'll end this foreplay," warned Izumi. "Okay... But does that mean you're agreeing now?" ensured Megumi. Izumi stayed silent and slightly nodded his head. After that, Megumi laughed psychotically and in the same manner how Izumi laughed. Kenzo was terrified of her.

Meanwhile, Mayumi woke up and still dreaming.

"...it. Wait! Don't g-go! I was watching a beautiful and exquisite scene!" said the half-sleep-driven Mayumi. "Dumbass, that was Kenzo-senpai, flirting with Izumi," said Haruki.

"Tch... Well, at least you're here, my sweet Haruki..." Out of nowhere, Mayumi kissed Haruki on his cheeks. "W-w-wait! What do you think you're doing?!" said the embarrassed and flushed Haruki.

"Giving a prize to my baby. Thanks for carrying me." Mayumi hugged Haruki tightly.

"Yu-Yuuji! Help me!!" exclaimed Haruki.

"Good luck, senpai. I'll just admit that I am all alone forever. I'll just watch here while you are doing your thing there."

"I swear I'll kick your ass when I will get out of here! Oomfffhhh!!" while Haruki was ranting, Mayumi made herself heavier, causing Haruki to fall.

"Then I'll be at Izumi-senpai's back. Hihihi!" said Yuuji. "Come back here, you little rascal!" exclaimed Haruki.

The group enjoyed their day. And as the sunset prepared for the evening to come, they went to a resto to eat dinner. As they were eating, Izumi went outside to answer a call.

Meanwhile, Mayumi still clings to Haruki. Yuuji is so confused why Mayumi is in love with Haruki. She doesn't even talk to him back in the club room. Mayumi responded that she fell in love with him during their high school days. Ever since, she cannot forget Haruki. She doesn't talk to him often in the club room to avoid suspicions.

"It seems Mayumi-senpai loves and respects Haruki-senpai a lot. Man... Even Haruki-senpai caught a girl with his intimidating personality." stated Yuuji jealously.

"Yuuji! Stop it!" exclaimed Haruki.

"But how can I stop when I see something adorable? I can't help but look at you both. If only I had a mirror, I can show you your sweetness right now." Yuuji replied with a soft chuckle.

"Well, I guess, I should give her a chance," said Haruki.

Mayumi blushed and embarrassed what Haruki said in a sweet, low, baritone voice.

"I only have one condition. Let me do the work. I know that you only liked me because I saved you before, but judging your personality, you are kind yet strict. You are also cute. You match my ideal girl and most of all... You stole my heart away. So, let me redo things. Let me be the one to fall in love with you."

Kenzo and Yuuji stared at the two in awe. After Haruki said that, he realized that they were not alone and the two were watching. Haruki blushed and tried to hide his embarrassment. Mayumi was also speechless. Moments later, tears fell from the beautiful brown eyes of Mayumi. She is happy about what Haruki said to her. Megumi watches Haruki and Mayumi silently as she eats her dessert. After that, Megumi followed Izumi outside the resto.

"Ikkun, where are you right now?" asked Natsumi. "I'm abroad, why Natsumi-nii?" replied Izumi. "Oh, if you have time, bring us a souvenir. And don't forget to watch our interview later. Well, break's over and I have to return on recording," replied Natsumi. "Okay," said Izumi as he hung the phone up. "Who was that?" inquired Megumi.

"Oh, it's Natsu-nii. He just wanted to say hello and check on me," said Izumi as he clenched his phone near to his heart. "I guess we'll watch the interview later together," said Izumi. "How about let's spend the night in our house? It seems that Kenzo-senpai and his cousin still didn't decide to have a place," asked Megumi. "That might be an option. After all, Uncle Naoya is still kind as ever," said Izumi.

They went back to the resto, and as soon as they finished eating, Megumi called his driver to pick them up. "Let's go to my place tonight. You guys haven't booked for a hotel yet, right?" asked Megumi. "Yes, my beautiful girl," responded Kenzo. Mayumi got irritated again and slapped his cousin. "I am very sorry about that Megumi-san!" apologized Mayumi. "We are so embarrassed that you'll let us stay at your place for a while," added Mayumi. "Oh no, it's okay. After all, you are friends with Haru and Ikkun," said Megumi. "Oh, the car is here. Put your baggage at the back, we'll sit at the front," said Megumi. As they arrived at Megumi's place, Kenzo insisted that he could carry all the things, and he didn't need help because he was embarrassed. After settling down, Megumi turned the TV on and was surprised at what she saw.
