Chapter13 : See you guys tomorrow
" Where're we going?" Ramen again?
Hikaru could read between the lines. " I went to ramen shop with Ko yesterday,"
" Maybe we should go somewhere else then so Ko-Yongha-san will have a chance to try different Japanese dish," Touya just tried to be polite.
" You've got a point, let him choose then,"
Me?... " Ummm…Okonomiyaki?"
Hikaru laughed noisily. " It's Touya's favorite dish, good choice…man, you're so alike. And you both even play in the similar way. Well I guess birds of feather flock together,right?"
What! ME! HIM! Akira and Yongha protested in silence.
" Ne,Touya, lead the way,"
" This way."
Finally, they reached the Okonomiyaki shop. It's quite old but still clean. It's a Japanese traditional old shop which ran by a family without hiring any waiters or waitresses. Yongha told his order to a shopkeeper. Akira made this order too.
" Beef Okonomiyaki for both of us," He said without asking Hikaru.
" Cola for me, hot green tea for him," Hikaru added.
All Yongha did was looking at them, he could do nothing about that anyway. Then Hikaru noticed.
" We like beef, and Touya doesn't like carbonated beverages," He informed.
" We've known each other for 3 years after all," Akira grinned. Touya has just hit the first score! Touya 1: Yongha 2
So, You're not giving up, are you?
" How sad that you didn't join us yesterday and the day before," Yongha mocked.
" Yeah, we went to Tokyo Tower, Yodobashi Camera, Takeshita street and Oriental Bazaar."
Ha! Yongha 3 : Touya 1
" I wish you could come with us," Hikaru said.
See? He wanted me to be there. Touya 2 : Yongha 3
" Is that all you have done? Having lunch and shopping?" You didn't do anything weird with him, did you?
" Well, yeah, why?"
" So you went to Tokyo Tower but you didn't visit the Zojoji Temple which's just on the opposite side,"
Oops, I forgot!
Zojoji Temple?
" And you went to Hararuku without visiting the Meiji Shrine? It's so like you, Shindou,"
Oops!
Meiji shire?
" I just forgot, Ko wanted to buy a new camera and some souvenirs."
What are they talking about?
" You should show Ko-Yongha-san some cultural sightseeing spots too, you know," Akira was always polite…even with someone he didn't like.
" Yeah, yeah" He lectures me again.
" Let's go there tomorrow then?" Yongha turned to Hikaru. Thank you, Touya
" What a coincident, I'm free tomorrow too, I'll go with you," No, Thank to you.
" Great! And tomorrow is Tanabata Festival! Three of us can go to the festival at night!" Hikaru exclaimed happily. " Oh! Our orders come,"
Akira was very good at frying Okonomiyaki. Yongha accepted. On the contrary, Hikaru was…
" What're you doing? No! Don't! Let me.." Akira cried out, he's cooking for Hikaru now. Hikaru said nothing, he didn't mind that. He knew Akira was better than him in…everything about Okonomiyaki. Akira placed a piece of Okonomiyaki on Hikaru's plate.
I didn't like this picture. Yongha thought.
Their lunch continued, they talked about the others pro they knew, Suyon for example. Akira asked Yongha about his dad's visit. Hikaru told Yongha about his promotion. Then, they talked about go, about the three games they had just played. After they finished their lunch, Hikaru told that I had to leave immediately if not he was going to be late.
" Bye bye, see you guys tomorrow,"
