Chapter 29
~Teiko Days~
Shirane's POV
Getting out of the café was probably the hardest thing to do today. After having and paying for our lunch, we were about to leave the café. Kise was going to put on his hat again before some girls, swarm to his side of the table and started asking him to take pictures and sign autographs. With that, more people started to gather.
I quietly stared at the scene unfolding in front of me. This was going to take a long time. Seeing Kise entertaining them, I sighed and headed towards the crowd, taking out a torchlight from my bag. I knew that I had to use this sometime today.
I switched the torchlight on and shined on the girls' faces, temporality blinding them. Quickly, I grabbed Kise's hand and we dashed out of there.
After running to a place with a good distance away, we finally stopped.
Panting, Kise looked at me in surprise.
"Where did you learned to do that?"
"From my experiences with Shun."
I catch my breath for a bit before continuing on.
"Shun is the same like you. Girls always flock to him that he is unable to do anything. So I learned a trick or two to get him away from crowds whenever I am with him."
"As expected from Shiranecchi."
Kise grinned at me before putting on his hat once more.
"So where to now?"
"Well…"
I glanced at the Bumper Cars nearby. Kise managed to catch on what I mean.
"Oh… That's as violent as you…"
Kise whispered to himself. I didn't catch on what he said.
"Huh?"
"Nevermind!"
Kise smiled and reached out to hold my hand.
"Let's go then."
Kise's POV
After today, I roughly understood what Shiranecchi prefers to ride at the amusement park now. She is like the total opposite of me. I feel embarrassed for letting her know that I can't take rollercoaster.
After having fun with a couple of rides, it was already evening. For the final ride at the amusement park as a couple, it's always the Ferris Wheel.
Well, we actually headed over there to ride it but to find it was close for maintenance.
"…"
"I guess we can't help it huh?"
Shiranecchi and I looked at the close sign. I turned to look at Shiranecchi and she didn't look like she was disappointed. I guess Shiranecchi really doesn't know about it.
"Oh well, I guess it time to leave the park now. Most of the rides are closing soon."
Shiranecchi nodded in agreement with me. With that, we left the park.
Since the day was going to end, I walked Shiranecchi back home. When we reached the crossroad where we were supposed to part, I didn't let go her hands.
"Shiranecchi… Can't I walk you all the way to your house…?"
I asked carefully. I knew there wasn't a chance for me to do so but I wanted to at least tell her that.
Shiranecchi kept quiet for a moment before answering.
"I… guess its okay…"
I didn't expect her to say that. Plastering a smile on my face, I held her hand even tighter and we make our way to her house.
Shirane's POV
Finally we reached the front of my house.
"Thank you for today. I had fun."
I smiled at him, clearly thankfully for the eventful day.
"No problem. And I am sorry for letting you that side of me…"
Kise was referring to the roller coaster incident.
"It's okay."
I didn't really mind, at least I know a bit more about Kise now.
"Well then…"
Kise suddenly pulled me in to a hug. Shocked by his sudden movement, I blushed almost immediately when I realised the situation.
"Kise…?!"
Using one of his hands to cup the side of my face, Kise pulled my head closer to him. My heart started racing faster than ever. I close my eyes shut, waiting for something to happen.
Kise kissed my forehead.
My face was terribly red now, as I opened my eyes. Kise gave a smile to me.
"You are really adorable, Shiranecchi."
"Idiot."
That was all I can say. Right after I said that, we heard the sound of something falling onto the ground. Kise and I turned to look, surprised to find my mum standing there, with jaws wide opened.
"Kyaaaaaaa!"
My mum screamed. Her scream attracted the attention of my brother in the house.
"Mum? What wrong?!"
Shun rushed outside to find mum. My mum pointed at Kise, and Shun looked at the direction which she pointed before she fainted.
"Mum?!"
All of us rushed over to my mum's side.
"Get a grip mum!"
Shun rested my mum's head on his lap. Just then my dad came out to see what was going on.
"What happened?"
Dad walked up to us, finding that Mum had fainted. Looking at the extra person, Kise, he understood the situation and immediately, dad asked Shun to help mum up. The both of them carried mum to her room.
"Is your mum alright?"
Kise asked worryingly.
"Yeah, she should be. I am guessing that seeing us together overloaded her that she fainted. Dad said that it happened to her once before."
"Eh?"
Kise and I entered the house and followed to see them till outside of the room to see them tug mum into her bed. After that, Dad and Shun walked out of there and faced us.
"You are… Kise, right?"
Shun asked and Kise just sheepishly smiled at Shun.
"Nice to meet you again, Shirane."
Almost forgetting dad was there, Dad sighed to get our attention.
"Ah! I am sorry Shirane-san! I forget to introduce myself. My name is Kise Ryouta."
Kise bowed at Dad.
"You don't have to be so formal."
Dad beckoned Kise to get up before continuing on.
"I heard about you."
"Eh?"
"My wife is a fan of yours."
Right, my mum likes to talk about young models and celebrities a lot. Dad has his fair share of that all the time.
"I heard from Jun."
Kise sheepishly smiled. I understand why Kise used my name to refer to me but somehow when I hear him say my name, I started to blush fiercely.
Dad turned his attention to me now.
"Did you have a fun date today?"
"Wah! Dad!"
Dad was making fun of me now. I didn't tell him anything but he figured it out.
"Wait a minute! That means that… You are the guy that Jun is dating?"
Shun suddenly spoke up, surprised on what was going on.
Kise and I looked at each other before nodding to him.
"Eh?!"
Shun went to a corner and was freaking out now. All of us were stared at him before dad turned to face Kise.
"Don't mind him. It's just something that he inherits from his mother."
With a smile on his face, Dad ushered us to the living room.
"Shun always freaks out when he can't figure something out."
I whispered to Kise since he was still worried about Shun.
"Jun, do you mind pouring us some tea?"
Dad suddenly interrupted us. I nodded and headed to the kitchen, leaving Kise and dad in the living room.
Kise's POV
"Have a seat."
Shiranecchi's dad and I took a seat on the couch. I was starting to feel nervous.
"I am sorry about my wife's reaction earlier. She just can't help herself."
Shiranecchi's dad had a sorry look on him. I quickly shook my head.
"It's okay!"
"I am glad to hear that."
Shiranecchi's dad smiled at me and I finally stopped shaking my head. There was a moment of silence now. I looked at him, waiting for him to speak up and he finally did.
"I am quite surprised though."
"Excuse me?"
"Well what I mean to say is that, as you might know Jun by now, she isn't the kind of person who would actually date a person, let alone a famous person like you."
"Yeah. "
I agreed with him.
"The first time I heard it, I was surprised but I didn't really mind since I know it is hard for Jun to find a person she likes."
Shiranecchi's dad stopped for a bit before continuing on again.
"But I was even more surprised to find that Jun was dating you."
I have gotten even more nervous now. This is bad…
"What I am trying to say is that, this is Jun's first time. So I hope you can be understanding and try to take good care of her for us."
"Wait? You don't mind us being together?"
I was surprised about what he said. I thought he might do the opposite.
"You are only young once, so what is wrong with it?"
Shiranecchi's dad smiled and continued on.
"But since you guys are only in middle school please don't take things too far, okay?"
The frightening aura suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I am scared to my wits now.
"And if you make my daughter cry, who knows what will happen to you…"
Shiranecchi's dad cracked his knuckles. Right now, I wanted to hide somewhere. This is just too frightening for me. I finally understand where Shiranecchi get that part of her from.
Shirane's POV
In the kitchen, I overheard Dad's conversation with Kise. I am glad that Dad is okay with it. However when he reached to the part where he threatens Kise, I had to step in to stop him.
"Dad, tea is here."
I placed the cups of tea on the table. Dad snapped out of it and gave me smile, thanking me. Kise looked at me with grateful eyes as he took his cup of tea to drink.
Just then, Shun walked into the living room. He seemed to have snapped out of it already. Taking at seat at the couch beside Kise, he turned to face Kise.
"How did you even get to know her?"
So all this time Shun was freaking out because he couldn't figure out how we met?!
Shun closed in to Kise, expecting an answer from him.
"In the basketball club…?"
"Eh?"
Shun looked at me now, expecting me to explain to him everything.
"That enough Shun."
Dad cut in between us.
"But dad…"
"You can ask that later."
Shun muttered an okay to dad, looking rather unhappy.
"Anyway, would you like to join us for dinner? Since my wife will be out until the morning, there's extra for one more person."
Dad offered Kise to stay for dinner but Kise just shook his head.
"It's okay. I have dinner at home."
Kise looked at the time on our house clock.
"And I should be going now."
"I see."
All of us walked Kise to the front door.
"Thank you for the tea."
Kise bowed at us, well, mainly at dad.
"I hope to see you again soon."
With that, Kise left. Shortly after he left, Shun came up to me.
"So…?"
Right, the explanation…
I explained to Dad and Shun on how I met Kise over dinner. The three of us agreed on not letting mum know about it. And because Shun is a bad liar, Dad said he will make sure he doesn't say it by threatening him. Dad's threats always works on Shun.
With that, the day ended just like that.
Well, that's how it is. I am not going to focus on her family anymore until later in the future chapters. At least we get to know where Shirane get that violent nature of hers from. Haha.
The haze is better now. Phew... But the people in Malaysia are suffering from it now. Eventually it will come back again... Be prepared people!
Reviews time!
