The sun shone brightly in the sky as morning arrived, accompanied by the cheerful chirping of birds.
"I said, leave me alone,"
A annoyed voice reverberated in room.
Right now, the room is a mess, especially near the window where there's a messy study table. A laptop is on it, showing some code. Books are everywhere on the floor. A boy with black hair and brown eyes is standing by the monitor, looking annoyed as he stares at the door.
At the door, there's a girl with a bright, excited look. She has pink eyes and green hair. She speaks with enthusiasm,
"Ren, come on, let's play! Just this once, please come with me."
Ren Inota is a 5-year-old who prefers his own company. He spends his days in his room, buried in books and tinkering with his computer, avoiding interactions with others.
'This girl is so annoying. How many times do I have to tell her I don't want to be her friend? I don't have time for that'
Ren thinks to himself.
With an annoyed look on his face, Ren speaks with an angry voice,
"Listen, Kee, I don't have time for playing. Besides, I have to complete tasks given by father."
Kee is a 5-year-old girl who recently moved into Ren's neighborhood with her mother, following her father's death in an accident a year ago.
Now, she lives with her mother, who is the principal of a school that caters from kindergarten to high school.
Ren and Kee attend the same school, but they're in different classes.
Kee's mother, who is the principal, oversees the entire school, from kindergarten to high school.
With a mischievous grin, a girl with black hair and black eyes sneaks up behind Kee and taps her shoulder. Speaking in a low whisper, she says,
"Oh, are you trying to impress my brother, Hua? That's a good idea. If you marry him, we'll become very close friends then."
Kee blushed deeply, her cute face turning even cuter as she blushed from her nose to her ears, resembling a red chili. She started running, without any particular destination in mind, and accidentally stumbled upon a book, causing her to fall. Ren happened to be underneath her, and she ended up on top of him.
With a twisted smile, Mia walked towards Kee and Ren. Kee was on top of Ren, her face flushed red, while Ren was seated on his computer chair. Kee's arms were around Ren's neck, and their faces were inches apart, both facing each other. Suddenly, Mia pushed Kee, causing their lips to touch in their first kiss, orchestrated by the mischievous little devil.
Mia laughed loudly,
"Ha ha ha! You're both in trouble now, brother. You'll have to take care of her."
She grinned mischievously and shouted to her mom,
"Mom, come see what your son and my privious friend are doing!"
Kee and Ren found themselves in a confusing moment, their lips touching, too stunned to react or pull away.
Kee blushed and quickly moved away from Ren, who was still in shock over what had just happened.
Standing in front of Ren was a woman who looked like an older version of Mia, wearing a shocked expression.
Inwardly, she thought to herself, 'Kids these days are so fast. Is it just me who doesn't know that 5-year-olds are doing these things? Have I been too absorbed in my research to notice?'
Sarina Inota is a space researcher, studying space technology and searching for extraterrestrial life.
Her ultimate goal is to develop technology that will allow humanity to venture beyond the Milky Way without relying on light speed travel. She is the mother of Ren and Mia, and she is friends with Kee's mom.
Seeing Ren's mom with surprise, Kee thought to herself, 'Today wasn't your day to stay home. What are you doing here?'Then, she looked at Mia, who was whistling and glancing around. 'It was all your plan. Oh no, I fell for it. Am I really going to prison? No, she can't be,'Kee thought to herself.
Mia had told her a story yesterday about a 5-year-old girl who kissed her friend and ended up in prison. It was all planned by that little devil.
Sarina usually works three days at home and three days at her job, but today was her fourth day off unexpectedly. Mia, knowing this, planned to prank her friend Kee.
Mia doesn't have many friends other than Kee because most of their neighbors are scientists and researchers, and there aren't many kids around, especially ones her age.
Ren composed himself when he noticed his mother's shocked expression soften. He knew he had to act innocent because his mother's scary side could surface if he didn't.
Glancing at Mia, who was now hiding behind Sarina, he then looked at Kee and thought, 'That was really sweet'.
He smacked his forehead on the table, thinking,
'What am I thinking? She just wants to be my friend, and these inappropriate thoughts aren't suitable for a 5-year-old.'
Ren realized he enjoyed being around Kee and decided to confess his feelings tomorrow. He will become her friend.
