The time to choose is near. I'm caught in the middle with two similar-looking persons, and unlike before when everything started, it's all quite confusing. People say that I'm lucky to have then both, but as friends, yes I am. But now that everything seems to be in a different stir, I just hope I never entered their boxed and small world.

Everything started as a game. On of which I have to know who was Hikaru and who was Kaoru. It's easy to distinguish who was who, but it's not the problem right now. Other than the fact that this is already a different game from what we use to play before, they now hated each other because of me. It's like I ruined everything, their brotherly love, their closeness and their unbreakable-like relationship.

He looked at me straight in the eye. Now I don't know who was he. Is he Hikaru? Or Kaoru? Seemed like it always develops the wrong way in my life. Both of them seemed to change their attitude now that they are fighting over this one thing -me.

"Now, tell me. Are you still in the game Haruhi? You could end it now I know you had your pick."

I silently stared. He approached me awhile a go, as if ready to ambush me at the corner of the hallway.

He then surprisingly smiled. "Don't be worried. I'm not mad at you. I just wanted you to finish the game now. It's just easy. You just have to choose between the two of us. The who-do-you-love Hikaru or Kaoru game."

He stepped forward. And I was cornered, my back leaning on the wall. Any moment now, I could sense it that he'll place his hands on the wall to entrap me, but no. Did he not. He was pulled out b someone from our physical closeness,

"Kaoru! What the hell with you!" So, it was Kauro after all.

"What now? Can you help it if we had just kissed?" Kauro shouted back. Kauro was the less aggressive kind among the twins not long before, but now it seems that Kaoru had also evolved in to an aggressive kind. I could sense it that a fight would happen any moment now. I feel guilty over this.

"Did this guy harassed you Haruhi?!!! Tell me!" He was looking at me. He was more of demanding an answer rather than asking out of concern. He was holding a bouquet of flowers on his hand, with an envelope that has my name on it. It's Tuesday and it's supposed to be his day. Our day.

"It's Tuesday for heaven's sake! Aren't we clear with that? Tuesday and Thursday for me, and Mondays and Wednesdays for Kaoru!" He clutched the flower his holding and threw it away madly.

"We didn't kissed." I said in a soft voice.

Kaoru laughed silently. He felt defiant over the outburst of his brother. Hikaru looked at him sinisterly, red out of rage. I picked up the flowers and walked towards Hikaru to calm him down.

"Stop it you two. Hikaru, let's go now." I clutched his left arm. I don't want this fight to heighten up.

Kaoru just smiled devilishly to his brother. "Do your thing, and by Friday… you'll be crying because she'll be mine." He turned his back and walked away casually as if making his twin madder.

"Damn him." I heard Hikaru whispered in gritted teeth. Now, I know everything would be a disaster. I should have not agreed with this game. I am confused whom I love between the two of them, and I think this game isn't enough to find the answer. Yes, truly, when they are alone with me, they are kind, sweet and good to me, but when they meet, I feel a certain uncomfortable tension I could not take. I am sensing that by Friday, the day settled for me to pick one from them, all of us would end hurt. Especially me.

And so Hikaru and I walked silently. He rummaged from his bag and fished his mp3 player. He offered the other earpiece to me as he put the other to his ear. The music was jumpy and catchy, and yet, i felt imprisoned. But nonetheless, I have no choice but to finish the music... and the rhythm of the game. I don't want to hurt them both, or even only one, but at least with this game, I could also figure out my confusion, and finally finish this rumble once and for all…
