Chapter 4: A little break!

It is a nice sunny Sunday, and it is 9:00 AM.

-Hey dad, I'm going out!

-Make sure you drive safely Koichi!

-Alright, Alright…

-Oh! And don't forget to buy that girl flowers!

-How do you even know about Haruki!?

-Your friend Takashi told me about it.

(I swear to god when i go back to school on Monday I'll kill that little-)

A knock on the door interrupts Koichi's thoughts.

-Yes!? Who is it?

-Haruki!

Koichi whispers to his dad:

-Dad, get that flower over there. Let me give it to her.

Koichi's dad gives the flower to Koichi, and tells him to hurry and open the door.

-Hello Haruki!

Koichi hands over the flower to Haruki.

-I-Is that for me?

-Oh, of course!

-Let's get in the car then! Bye dad! I'll be back in around… 4 hours.

-Have fun you two!

They get in the car and drive along the mountain a couple times.

-Sooo… what do you do in your free time?

-I usually help my dad in his restaurant and race in my Miata.

(WHAT? I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THAT! WHY AM I SO OPEN TO HER?)

-You race? Is it fun?

-I would say. Hey! Look at that view! It's so beautiful.

They get out of the car and start talking while watching the view.

-And what do you do in your free time?

-I uh… help my mom make toys for children.

-That's cool!

-So I wanted to tell you something, but i think it's a little too early for it, since we only know each other for about a month.

-Go ahead.

-I.. I think I'm in love with you!

-O-Oh really?

Haruki takes a deep breath and leans in for a kiss. Koichi paused for a second but then he let himself go.

-W-Wait! What time is it! Oh! I gotta go home!

-Ok.

Koichi drives Haruki home. After getting home he tells his dad about what happened.
