Chapter 9: Explanation and Boyfriend Revealed!
Ritsu hung up the call and put her phone back onto the table. She sighed.
"So I'm gonna tell them..." She then turned from fear to determination. "I'll tell them!"
Just then, Ritsu's phone began buzzing. It was a phone call from Mio. She picked it up and answered the call.
"Hey, Mio, wazzup?"
"Mou, Ritsu! You started using that wazzup from Sousuke now!"
"Why? I can't? Please, Mio, he's my boyfriend-"
"Soooo how's your Saturday today?" Ritsu stared at her phone, confused. Mio tried to change the topic. She is not going ANYWHERE NEAR that topic.
"It's alright. I just had a short conversation with Sou-chan." Mio choked and coughed.
"S-Sou-chan?"
"Yeah, Sou-chan! Jeez Mio, it sounds like you don't allow me to call him these and that your his mom or something..."
"I...I'm sorry..." Ritsu sighed.
"It's okay. So anyways, I forgot to tell my parents that I'm dating Sousuke right now-"
"You're such a baka."
"FORGOT, OKAY? FORGOT! I forget things sometimes, it's called growing!"
"Pfft, whatever. You were saying?"
"Etto...where was I? Oh right!"
So Mio ended up talking about Sousuke with Ritsu.
"I'm gonna tell them TODAY. I've already told Satoshi about it and was he upset. I just got home from school and I was just going to my room when he seemed to saw me and Sou-chan outside the window. Heh, then I told him he's my boyfriend and he went on crying. He told me he won't allow any guy to take me away because he'd be alone or something. I told he it'll be okay because I'm in college now, ha-ha! I also told him he'll get along great with Sou-chan. I mean, they look awfully similar, don't they?" Ritsu explained, chuckling afterwards.
'That's exactly how I feel...' Mio mentally cried.
"Hehe, yeah so I guess that's all that happened hehe. Huh? Mio, you there?"
"Y-Yeah...I'm here...I heard you..."
"So, what'd you think? Crazy, huh? Yeah, ha-ha!"
"Yeah..."
"Jeez, Mio...you sound so gloomy, what's wrong?"
"Huh? No, nothing's wrong."
"Hmm? Ya sure?"
"Yeah..."
"...Okay then... Ja, I gotta go. Satoshi's calling me downstairs now."
"Okay...bye..."
"Bye..."
And just like that, the phone call ended.
Mio ended up sobbing for hours.
"Onee-chan get down here!" Satoshi shouted for the umpteenth time.
"Hai~, I'm coming!" Ritsu shouted from her room.
Seconds later, she walked down the stairs and went into the living room. Satoshi was staring at her, scared as their parents had their arms crossed, glaring at her. Ritsu gulped.
"W-What?" Ritsu asked dumbly.
"You have some explaining to do, Ritsu." Ryosukei, their father, said a bit angrily.
"A-About what?" Ritsu said nervously.
"Well, Satoshi here told us you had a boyfriend." Satomi, their mother said a bit annoyed. Ritsu flinched and scratched the back of her neck as she glared at her brother.
"Sorry..." Satoshi muttered.
"Oh, don't be sorry, Satoshi. Ritsu said she was going to tell us 6 days ago!" Satomi raised her voice. Ryosukei nodded in agreement.
Ritsu sighed in defeat.
"Fine, I do have a boyfriend." Ritsu held her arms in the air. Satoshi looked at her in worry.
"Onee-chan..."
"I don't know if I can accept this, Ritsu." Ryosukei said.
"I'm a second year college student! How can you NOT accept this?!" Ritsu argued, flailing her arms around.
"Because we don't know him, Ritsu. What if he is a bad guy? What if-"
"He's totally fine! He's really cool! Come on!" Ritsu shouted in anger.
"What if he's just acting?!" Ryosukei shouted in anger too.
"He's Mio's cousin, so it's fine!" Ritsu barked. Ryosukei and Satomi looked at each other worriedly, then sighed in defeat.
"Okay, okay. I get it." Ryosukei said. "It's fine."
"Thank you, finally." Ritsu sighed, wiping her sweat away from all the shouting.
"We just thought you had a thing for Mio-chan." Satomi said sadly. Ritsu looked at her in shock.
"How could you-"
"We know, Ritsu. It's because of the way you've been acting."
"Wha-"
"You've been smiling every time you talk to Mio on the phone or when you're going to hang out with her."
"Wai-"
"And you've been squealing every time she does something amazing to you."
"Why-"
"I also knew it, Onee-chan. I didn't want to say because of who knows what'll happen. So, I kept quiet."
"Let me talk!" Ritsu shouted. Her parents and brother obeyed.
"Just...why?" Ritsu said, her voice cracking. Tears dropped onto the floor. Satomi rushed to Ritsu, trying her best to comfort her.
"I...actually...did have...a thing...for Mio..." Ritsu said in between sobs.
"It's okay, Ritsu. Tell us. We're listening." Ritsu made a loud sniff. Satoshi looked at her in disgust.
"I wanted to see if she loved me back so...I tested her and asked her for a love advice...but she said she has someone for me and that they'd be perfect...she looked so happy..." Ritsu then began crying like crazy. Satoshi rushed to Ritsu and patted her on the back.
"It's okay...at least you have Sou-kun...You love him, right?" Satomi asked. Ritsu slowly nodded.
Ryosukei, Satomi and Satoshi managed to calm Ritsu down. Ritsu went straight up to her room after that.
"So that's what happened."
"Are you sure nothing happened after that?"
"No."
"Are you really sure?"
"...Affirmative..."
