Extra 2: Multiple Cakes for Honey

"Yummy! Saku's cakes are yummy," Honey sang happily. Before him were a variety of cakes, most of them which were vanilla cakes with icing and strawberries. The cakes were not as beautifully made as the professionals, but it looked pretty enough to be displayed. Honey already had five cakes so far, his sweeth tooth taking over his ability to control himself. Haruhi was astonished. And somehow, she understood what Honey's brother meant when he thought of Honey as an alien. There was no way a petite body like his can store so much cake.

Haruhi let out a frustrated sigh for her lady friend. Honey was too much. It was one thing to love cakes, but it must have taken up Sakuno's time to make them all. Nonetheless, her friend seemed content, yet one question nagged her.

"How many cakes can you make for one day, Saku-kun?" Haruhi asked. She could feel a bead of sweat dropping down the side of her face as she watched Honey gobble up the cake in one swift move unlike the other times when he would slowly savor the taste due to budget costs.

"Ah, I made it the day before, so I guess fifteen? Last week, I made ten," Sakuno said with a soft smile while thinking about how much fun she had. She was actually allowed to borrow Honey's kitchen to make all those cakes for only one weekend. There were multiple ovens there too, so she was able to bake plenty of cakes.

Haruhi's eyes bulged and she completely felt sorry for her friend. She knew Sakuno didn't mind but to make all those cakes by herself for only Honey to eat was just plain cruel.

"I'm glad to make cakes for Honey. He challenged me to make better cakes and make them in a short time span too. It goes to show my hard work is starting to pay off," Sakuno said softly to her friend as if she could read Haruhi's mind, "Even though I will be in a different country than him soon, I hope to make as many cakes and as often as I can before I leave to France for my schooling."

"Ah, you're working under a famous French pastry chef, right?" Haruhi asked.

Sakuno nodded happily, remembering the time she was in third place in the competition for beginners. Even with third place, a famous pastry chef saw her determination and her hard work much more important than winning. He came up to her and asked her to come to France under a scholarship he was going to give her. And of course, Sakuno was hesitan at first, so she asked if she could have time to think. The pastry chef was nice enough to let her have a whole week to think about it. And even though Honey was sad to hear the news, he was going to support her all the way. It was at that time, she decided to take up on that offer.

"I love him very much. More than he would ever know," Sakuno whispered to Haruhi. Haruhi smiled and nodded her head in understanding.

"I'm sure he feels the same way towards you, Sakuno," Haruhi replied.

Sakuno smiles while she watched Honey gobble up another cake in just one second. Haruhi scrunched her face when she saw the same scene, wondering how Sakuno could manage to watch him eat with such speed. Hopefully, if they got married and had kids, the children would not inherit stomachs similar to Sakuno and Honey. Because if they did, they may certainly put Japan into a food crisis.
