The next morning he wakes up and got up from his bed and stretch his arms and legs and licks his lips to wet it and not dry from the sleep he went to his room bathroom and take off his clothes and start showering himself and soaping his whole body. While he is doing his usual things in the bathroom his big brother named "Jin" Who is 5 years older than him knocks to his door in a hurry tone to go early for his job
"Yuma breakfast is ready and mom and dad goes to explore more to know about the places and cultures in the America gotta go Yuma"
Yuma smiles because his big brother always treats him like this even now that he is has a job at the early mornings he still cooks breakfast for him and for himself if he can and have time left. He is just drying himself with his personal towel and after that he clothed to his school uniform to go. Before that he eat the hot and fresh breakfast by his big brother he cuts off all the electricity in the house with the main switch and go out walking to his school 45 minutes away from his house
While he is walking he see Akamoto walking Infront of him not so far he blushes a bit but shake it off and try to focus on the ground to not trip on a small rock. Akamoto didn't notice Yuma behind him him just keep walking while hands on the back of his head just chilling while walking to the school.
(At the school)
Yuma sits down to his arrange chair and Akamoto sits as well and looks at Yuma and speak in a unusual soft tone and deep for his usual voice
"Good morning how are you today Yuma...?"
Yuma is surprised that Akamoto is speaking to himself and not wanting his wallet by now and he looks at Akamoto and he can tell he is not feeling well today
"I am good...thanks for asking and are you feeling sick you look very tired and sick to me..."
Even if he hates Akamoto for his ignorance and cockyness he still cares for him because he is one of his classmates and Akamoto just looks at the board waiting for the advisor to go to the classroom
"You are right...I have a stuffed nose and not that hard of a cough but I am alright but tomorrow I will be okay and ready your wallet..."
Akamoto coughs and chuckle at his own words while Yuma just rolls his eyes and sighs because he don't want to worry for his health but his heart says so different from his brain...
(At Lunch Time)
He eats his from the things his brother also cooks for him for his lunch box for him to have food at the school. He saw Akamoto eating crackers while talking to his friends about something he doesn't wanna interfere into
He shrugs it off while his heart is still worry about Akamoto health and well being even if he gonna get better the next day...
Fast Forward to the alarm of the bell of the school signing the school for today is finished he goes to his locker and put on his things and just sits on the bench of the school. And suddenly Natalie sits beside him and looks at Yuma at his kind of worried face and breaks the silent
"So you talked with Akamoto yet about your romantic feelings about him hmm?~"
She says in a teasingly tone and Yuma snaps back to reality and looks at Natalie with a little bit red on his cheeks and speak on his flustered tone
"No and I already told you... That I don't have any romantic feelings for Akamoto I just wanna befriend that seems like a good person before the school year ends and go back to South Korea once again..."
Natalie chuckles and replied with her usual tone this time
"Oh so you wanna be friends with an arrogant boy like Akamoto... Goodluck with that and you are go here in America just to study for a year and go back to South Korea?"
Yuma respond
"Yeah my parents only let me to stay here for a year to study here in America and... I don't need luck to be friends with Akamoto I sense something to him that he is hiding.."
Natalie stands up and looks back at Yuma and reply with a quiet voice once again like yesterday
"Just be sure you maybe regret that if you befriend such a guy like Akamoto.."
She leaves and join to her friends who is walking out in the gate of of school and he stands up to go back to his parents house. While he is walking back to his house He hears grunting in pain in the alleyway he is curious about the grunts and it feels familiar of the voice...
He goes to the alleyway and see Akamoto getting beat up by two fully grown male adults in the white t-shirt my and he screams
"GET AWAY FROM AKAMOTO!"
