There was a knock on the door of Minami's room. Minami's mother in a high tone of voice called Minami's name to wake Minami who was fast asleep.
"Minami! Minami! Wake up! How many times do I want to wake you up?" (Minami Mother)
"Eh? It's morning? Wait a minute mom" (Minami)
Minami then rushed to the bathroom to wash hia face and brush his teeth. Once ready, Minami continued to put on his school uniform and ran towards the stairs of their house. Minami continues to go to school without eating the breakfast that his mother has prepared. His mother did not notice that Minami had gone to school and left the breakfast his mother had made.
"Still had time, still had time" (Minami)
The school guard saw Minami running towards the school fence and shouted at Minami.
"You there, stop!" (Guard)
"Eh? I'm late" (Minami)
"Don't run in front of the school" (Guard)
"I don't have time for that" (Minami)
Minami kept running past his school fence ignoring the guards guarding the school fence. The school bell rang just in time for Minami to arrive. Minami breathed a sigh of relief at having arrived at school on time. He then walked towards his class. Minami's class teacher, Ms. Hitori was about to start the learning session, Minami suddenly came and opened the front door of his class.
"Late again huh?" (Mrs. Hitori)
"Sorry teacher, I was chased by some strangers earlier" (Minami)
"Hurmm .. you are really good for giving a ridiculous reason" (Ms. Hitori)
"Hehehe" (Minami)
All of Minami's classmates laughed when they saw him being scolded by Ms. Hitori but Minako just looked at Minami and smiled. Minami was then told to sit in his seat. A learning session is in progress and Minami is writing what Ms. Hitori has written on the blackboard. Minami noticed that Minako was looking at him from a distance. Minami tries to ignore her. Yurichi then asked Minami.
"Yo Minami" (Yurichi)
"What's the matter?" (Minami)
"After school, don't you want to go to that place again?" (Yurichi)
"You mean? The restaurant near the train station?" (Minami)
"Yes. I want to taste more Miso soup near there" (Yurichi)
"Okay. I want to taste the takoyaki they sell nearby too" (Minami)
Ms. Hitori noticed that Yurichi and Minami were chatting near the back.
"Yurichi! Minami! Don't talk!" (Mrs. Hitori)
"We're sorry" (Minami and Yurichi)
"It's your fault" (Minami)
School was over and Yurichi was waiting for Minami who was putting the book into the bag he was carrying. Minami came out and invited Yurichi to go to the place where they wanted to go for dinner. While on the way Yurichi then asks Minami.
"Minami. Did you notice that Minako was looking at you?" (Yurichi)
"Eh? It's impossible. Which girl as beautiful as Minako wants to look at a man like me" (Minami)
"But I think she's been looking at you since class started this morning" (Yurichi)
Minami just kept quiet and kept walking without answering what Yurichi said earlier. They have both reached the place they want to go. They both went into the store and smelled the delicious smell of Miso soup and Minami's eyes shone after seeing the Takoyaki sold in the store. The two of them then looked for an empty seat in the store.
"This place is always busy" (Minami)
"This place has always been famous for their delicious Miso soup" (Yurichi)
After a long search for empty seats, they both saw there was an empty table at the end of the shop next to the window. They both hurried to go there before anyone took the seat. After sitting down, a waitress came towards them asking what they both wanted to order. Minami ordered 10 Takoyaki and Yurichi ordered 2 Miso soups. 10 minutes had passed and their food was already ready and delivered to the dining table for both of them. Without hesitation, Minami continued to feed 2 takoyaki into his mouth while Yurichi sipped the Miso soup he ordered.
"Minami .. do you still remember what you said before?" (Yurichi)
"Let's just forget about it" (Minami)
Yurichi just looked at Minami with a sad heart. Suddenly, the door in front of the store opens and it turns out that Minako has come to the store. Minako along with her friends were having fun chatting. Minami looked at Minako and his face kept turning red.
"Minami?" (Yurichi)
"Nothing" (Minami)
Yurichi looked back and saw Minako and her friends were looking for a seat to eat.
"Oh .. hehe" (Yurichi)
"Yurichi. Let's go back" (Minami)
"Eh but our food hasn't been eaten yet" (Yurichi)
"Leave it. Hurry up" (Minami)
Minami kept coming out of the store after paying for all the food they ordered. Yurichi followed Minami from behind. Minako then notices that Minami and Yurichi are out of the store.
"Minami? Yurichi?" (Minako)
"Who?" (Hayato)
"That's .. Minami and Yurichi" (Minako)
"Oh .. the two of them have always been together" (Hayato)
"They are both really good friends" (Minako)
"That's for sure. Yurichi is a member of our school football team. He is indeed one of the most active athletes in our school" (Hayato)
"Oh ..what about Minami ?" (Minako)
"Hmmm .. Minami .. He's a person who likes to sleep in class but he's a good guy and he always look so happy everytime" (Hayato)
"Oh .." (Minako)
"Minako? Why did you suddenly ask about Minami? Do you like him?" (Hayato)
"Eh? Where is it came from?" (Minako)
Minako then continued to look at Minami who was chatting with Yurichi.
