"CHANCE"
Chapter Four : Jealous?
Kyohei walked, more correctly slid, his feet towards the dining area, where all of them were sitting.
"Oh there he is!" Auntie said. "Where's Sunako? I'm starving!"
"Why don't you just eat?" Kyohei asked monotonously, as he sat down.
"No. The Fukushima Family Rulebook states 'Let no one start dining any meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, when one or more of the people present in the house is not seated yet.'" Sunako, behind him, said and sat down beside Ryuu and her aunt, across Kyohei.
"You're strangely different today, Sunako," Noi noticed. Sunako just answered her with a small smile.
"I'm impressed," Ryuu said, smiling towards Sunako. "So, you already know the rules in the family rulebook, huh?"
"Of course," Sunako said, with pieces of tissue placed on her nostrils.
"So you consider her as family now? Maybe you won't even make it to the wedding, idiot," Kyohei murmured under his breath. Noi, beside him, looked at him and hit him with her elbow.
"What was that?" Ryuu asked him, unable to clearly hear what Kyohei said.
"Nothing," Kyohei uttered, stabbing the shrimp on his plate.
"Oh, yeah, the four of you would be the groom's men, for everyone else already declined," Auntie said, matter-of-factly. "So you can see very clearly because you're near the priest and you would most likely be the ones who would cry first, too! That's gonna be priceless."
"I bet Yuki would be the very first," Ranmaru teased.
"HEY!" Yuki complained. "WELL, err, I BET KYOHEI WOULD BE THE VERY FIRST ONE! OR HE WON'T EVEN SHOW UP BECAUSE THE GIRL HE LOV--!"
Takenaga covered Yuki's mouth with his hands, shutting him up.
All of them stared at Yuki.
"Whatever," Kyohei answered, glaring at Yuki. He stood up and marched to his room.
All of them fell silent.
"What a stupid thing to say," Ranmaru commented.
"I-I-I didn't mean to..." Yuki said, feeling really guilty.
"Did Yuki say anything wrong?" Ryuu asked, oblivious.
"No," Noi answered. "But Kyohei has every right to feel that way."
They all continued eating.
"Even Yuki thinks I love her. WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I LOVE HER?!" he asked himself, as he lied down his bed, irritated.
Because you really do, his inner voice told him.
"Stop telling me lies. Besides, you're not even a person."
So what's the truth, then?
"I... I'm not so sure, yet."
And you're mad at yourself, too, because you can't admit it to yourself, that you really love her now.
"I'M NOT MAD!"
Yeah, whatever you say. Just tell her, before it's too late.
"I have nothing to say."
You know you have.
"But, if I do have something to say, I guess it'll just ruin our friendship. No, maybe she'll kill me first, squirt some blood, and then it'll ruin our friendship"
She won't kill you for telling the truth. Before you tell her, you must admit it to yourself first.
"There's nothing to admit..."
Just admit it, Kyohei.
"I-I can't"
ADMIT IT.
"I CAN'T!"
*GROWL*
The sound made him look at his poor empty stomach.
"I never thought a man's hunger can make him go crazy," Kyohei said to himself. "I guess the shrimps are calling me now. Here I come!"
He went out of his room, passed through the living room, and walked towards the dining area for some left over shrimp, feeling very excited to eat it. He got as many as his plate can be occupied and ate half of it in three minutes. He motioned to get another when he saw a figure of a dark girl in the other room with a guy. He grew curious of what Sunako could be doing in the laundry room with… with… that guy. He sneaked a peek inside.
"…please?" was the only word Kyohei heard Ryuu say. Ryuu was in front of Sunako, and Sunako was facing her back to the door, where Kyohei was peeking. He started to wonder what Ryuu asked from Sunako.
"Okay," she answered, sounding dead.
Kyohei saw a slight smile forming on Ryuu's lips.
She stared at Ryuu's eyes for a while as she placed her palm on his cheek and started to move towards his face. Kyohei's hands turned into fists and trembled uncontrollably as he saw the scene. He looked away in an instant, regretting about peeking from the door.
He leaned on the wall and threw the poor shrimp he was holding on to at the moment down to the floor. He didn't understand what he was feeling. He felt sad, angry, disappointed, furious, and betrayed all at the same time! Is that even possible?!
He marched towards the living room, where the stairs are located, when he heard someone snicker in the room. He put his attention to where it came from.
"You're jealous," Noi said with an I-told-you-so expression on her lovely face.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Kyohei growled, resulting from the different emotions he was feeling. "Why do you even think I would feel that way?!"
"Well," Noi started. "That's the only reason I can think of, after you threw your beloved shrimp to the ground. Aaand, you looked so jealous while peeking into the laundry room, which, by the way, where I saw those two love birds head to."
"You won't EVER understand what I'm feeling so stop being such a brat!" Kyohei answered rudely.
"Hmmm, let me guess…" Noi said thoughtfully, not hurt of Kyohei's rudeness. "You feel sad, angry, disappointed, furious, and betrayed all at the same time, am I right?"
Kyohei was shocked about Noi actually knowing what he felt. But, of course, he never wanted to admit what he was really feeling. That he was feeling… *gulp*… jealous.
"Yeah, whatever you call it, I don't and will never care about that stupid witch," he said as he continued to march upstairs.
"Ya know, Kyohei?" Noi told him while he was still on the stairs. "Jealousy just proves that you love someone."
"Yeah," Kyohei whispered softly. "I know."
Sooo, how was it? :)
