Ryu, whose phone had just added Yui-senpai's phone number, sat there silently staring at his phone. He opened WhatsApp and saw the newly added contact, Yui-senpai, she named it "Nakamura Yui". The profile picture used was a very cute fox with her in a selfie, and the info column was left empty.
Ryu closed the WhatsApp application and opened Line. He was surprised to see Yui-senpai had added him as a friend on Line too. He felt a little happy.
Then he closed his phone and... his eyes widened in shock. He had forgotten that he came here to meet his parents, he was too busy with his senpais. He felt a bad feeling in his heart. And sure enough! With his eyes widened, he looked at the bench where his parents had been sitting earlier...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!
He saw his parents looking at him with playful smiles on their faces. He knew they must have witnessed all of his activities with his senpais. Especially... HE HAD JUST PERFORMED THE MOMENT WHERE HE REMOVED DUST AND DUST OF STONE FROM YUI-SENPAI'S HAND. His parents must have seen him holding a woman's hand... especially since it was his senpai whom he had just met that day.
Embarrassed, Ryu returned their smiles with a shy smile.
When they saw Ryu had noticed their presence again, Katarina asked Satou to approach Ryu directly.
"Honey, let's go see our little baby who just held hands with his senpai," Katarina said with a happy smile.
Yamaguchi Satou simply nodded and they walked together, holding hands.
Seeing his parents approach, Ryu stood up and approached them as well.
After getting closer, Katarina hugged Ryu gently, stroked his head, and spoke.
"Sweetie, what happened with you and your senpai? Would you like to tell mommy about it? Mommy is very curious," Katarina said while stroking Ryu's long hair.
Upon hearing this, Ryu smiled shyly and rubbed the back of his head.
Ryu then turned his gaze to his father, hoping that his father would help him out of this situation.
"Enough, dear. Our child is a boy, and you know this would happen sooner or later," said Satou to Katarina, who was curious.
"Yamaguchi Satou!!! Even though I know that moments like this will happen sooner or later, Ryu is still our little baby!" Katarina looked at Yamaguchi Satou with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Oh, yes, you're absolutely right, dear. Ryu, honey, would you explain to us what happened with you and your senpai?" Yamaguchi Satou gave up and finally helped Katarina.
As Katarina turned her head again to look at Ryu, he shook his head when he looked at him.
Ryu's expression darkened. What was his father thinking? He was completely defeated by his mother.
He really couldn't be relied on.
"It's embarrassing to talk about it here, dad, mom. I'll tell you in the car," Ryu said.
"Well then, let's go to the car, dear. We can't wait any longer," Katarina, who was very curious, couldn't wait any longer, so she pulled her husband's hand with her right hand and pulled their little baby with her left hand, standing in the middle and pulling two big men.
Yamaguchi Satou and Ryu could only follow Katarina weakly.
When they arrived in the car and were on the road, Satou looked at the front and saw that Katarina kept staring at Ryu with curiosity.
"Sweetie, we're already in the car. Quickly tell Mommy what happened earlier."
Since Satou was also curious, he turned off the song that was playing.
"Father, why did you turn off your favorite song?" Ryu was puzzled as this was his father's favorite song.
"My ears hurt a little when I was listening to the lecture earlier, so I turned off the song to let my ears rest," he shifted his gaze to the right, pretending to look at the right side mirror, but all he did was smile when his son was chased by his wife.
"Come on, don't change the topic, sweetie. Tell us!" Katarina, who had been curious for a long time, finally raised her voice slightly.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you Mom" Ryu could only give up when his hand was squeezed tightly by his mommy.
Satou also listened carefully and occasionally glanced in the mirror to look at the middle seat.
After taking a deep breath, Ryu then recounted what had happened earlier when he bumped into Yui-senpai in detail, as well as when they parted ways at the cafeteria.
Upon hearing Ryu's story, Katarina and Satou could only smile to themselves as if they were back in their youth.
Katarina also asked some questions that Ryu had to answer, whether he liked it or not.
"Ryu dear, your story with your Senpai Yui is really like in a novel," Katarina, who was very happy, then held both of Ryu's hands and lifted him up.
"That was just an accident, Mom, not a romantic story."
Katarina just remained silent upon hearing Ryu's words. This little baby really didn't want to reveal his understanding of his senpai Yui.
"When you chose your extracurricular activities earlier, which ones did you choose, sweetie?" Katarina asked. She was too curious about the events between her little baby and his senpai that she forgot to ask about her little baby's activities, uhh.
"I only chose music and basketball club. Their schedules don't clash. Music is only on Mondays and basketball is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays," Ryu explained.
Then Katarina and Satou just nodded.
Before they knew it, they arrived home in a 20-minute trip. The short journey felt like only 5 minutes for Katarina and Satou.
As they just got out of the car, the sound of a phone ringing could be heard.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
They all grabbed their phones and Katarina said it was hers.
"Who's calling, dear?" Satou asked.
"This is a call from our other little baby, Haruka-chan," Katarina said.
"Answer it then," Satou urged.
"Hi Sunshine, what's up with my first little baby?" Katarina said into the phone.
As Katarina said that, another voice could be heard from the phone.
"Hi, Mom. Have you come back from Ryu-chan's school yet?"
"Yes, we just got home," Katarina replied.
"Oh, good. My university just planned to perform at Aoba Gakuen, in two weeks on Monday. I hope you can come, Mom, and please invite Dad and Ryu-chan too."
"Are you busy, my Sunshine? Are you eating enough? Is your rest okay? Whenever Mom calls you, your phone is always busy," Katarina said with concern.
"Yes, Mom. Lately, I have been very busy with exams and performances for the university and club, but Mom, don't worry, I eat and rest well. Please tell Dad not to worry about me. I am doing fine here," the voice from the phone replied.
"That's good then. Remember to take care of your health, my Sunshine. Mom and Dad will come later," Katarina said.
"Oh, Mom, where is Ryu-chan? Did he say he won't come?" the voice on the phone asked.
"I don't know. Your little brother must be very busy. He just got interested in basketball and joined the basketball club and music club at his school," Katarina explained.
"Basketball? It's the first time I've heard that my little brother is interested in basketball that seriously. What happened to him, Mom? ARE YOU SURE HE'S STILL YOUR LITTLE BABY, MOMMY?" the voice on the phone exclaimed.
"Pffftt, I am very sure about that, Sunshine. It's kind of hard to explain, you can ask your little brother about it later," Katarina chuckled.
"Okay, Mom, thank you. I hope you three can come. Bye-bye," the voice on the phone said before ending the call.
"Is there any problem, Mom?" Ryu asked.
Katarina didn't answer and just gave Ryu a smile, then she held Satou's hand and went inside the house, leaving Ryu alone there.
As he was about to walk inside, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his sister, Yamaguchi Haruka!!!
As soon as he answered the phone, he was bombarded with a thousand questions from his sister. He asked her to ask slowly and finally Ryu explained from the beginning how he became interested in basketball and joined the basketball club. When his sister asked about what happened at school today, Ryu only answered some parts that he had to answer, without mentioning the incident with Yui-senpai.
After a long time on the phone, Haruka finally said bye-bye and mentioned that class was about to start.
"Huff, school will start as usual tomorrow. But the basketball club will start next week, I can't wait!" He clenched his right hand tightly as if gripping his phone.
He then entered the house.
