"You look tired, what happened to you? Were you watching porn all night?" Kaoru teased as the two walked towards the classroom to which they heard a loud noise. "Whoa what's going on over there?" said Junichi as the two ran into the classroom and saw some desks flipped and Umehara grabbing the collar of another male classmate and Keiko who seemed scared.

"You better take back what you said about her!" Umehara shouted as he tighten his grip. "Holy crap I've known Umehara for years, but I've never seen him act like this" Junichi thought as he watched. "Umehara calm down, what happened?" said Junichi as he ran over to separate the two. "Let go of me, let me at him, you don't just talk crap about people behind their backs," said Umehara, "It's none of your business what I say," said the classmate, "What was that?!" Umehara shouted as Junichi and Kaoru were trying to hold him back.

"What's going in here?" said Takahashi-sensei as she walked into the commotion. "It`s nothing," said Umehara as he walked away from the scene despite Tsukasa`s protest to stay put. "Geez people can't take a joke these days," said the male classmate. "Umehara wait," said Junichi as he was about to go after him, but Kaoru stopped him. "Let him go," said Kaoru to which Junichi stopped following as Tsukasa was trying to get details about the incident.

Later

"So what happened back there?" Junichi asked Umehara as they were up on the roof during lunchtime. "Some of the guys were talking trash and saying vulgar about Keiko being easy, making her feel bad so I went to confront them. "They must've said some mean stuff," said Junichi, "Luckily I only got a warning from Takahashi-sensei and Ayatsuji-san, so at least I won't face any repercussions," said Umehara. "Wow, who would have expected you of all people to fight someone, I think you should talk to Keiko later, she seemed scared seeing you like this," said Kaoru. "Really?" Umehara asked. "She seemed scared seeing that side of you, it caught us off guard too," said Kaoru. "Yeah, I guess I should talk to her" Umehara replied.

After School

"Listen I don`t really care what happened, but you need to be more careful Umehara, you could have given Tanaka-san the wrong idea," Tsukasa said to Umehara as she was lecturing him for his actions earlier in the morning. "I guess I could do that" Umehara replied. "Tanaka-san is a very timid girl, you don`t want to give her the wrong idea, so I suggest you get your act together," said Tsukasa as she walked away. "I guess I`m not quite perfect myself" Umehara thought as he walked towards the lockers.

"The end of the day, though I couldn`t find Keiko she must have been busy or something," Umehara thought as he opened his shoe locker. "Huh, what's this?" Umehara thought as he pulled out a pink envelope from his shoe locker, "Wonder if this is a prank or something" Umehara thought as he opened the letter.

Dear Umehara,

I writing this letter to you because I think I have feelings for you. The more I hang out with you the closer the bond I have with you, if you're interested I'd like to meet you at the rooftop after school on Monday. I want to know what you think of me, the letter has no name of the writer of this letter.

"Huh, there's no name on this, guess I'll have to figure this out myself," said Umehara as he tried to find a name on the envelope. "Well better get going," said Umehara as he put the envelope into his bag and walked away unaware someone else had been watching the whole time.

"I really did it this time, somehow Kaoru managed to convince me to give this a second try," Keiko thought as she watched from a distance.

Saturday

"Umehara, you've been sitting in your room all day, go outside and do something," said Mrs. Masayoshi. "All right fine," said Umehara as he got up and changed clothes. "So much for being in the warm house," Umehara thought as he walked outside as it was already past midday.

5:00 pm

"Geez, why do I have to have to be outside? Sometimes all you want to do is just stay home, I`d go over to Junichi`s place, but he`s out with Kaoru today, not to mention all the couples walking around on the weekend" Umehara thought as he walked around while sipping on some hot chocolate as wintertime was approaching. "Wait a sec, is that Keiko?" Umehara thought as he noticed that Keiko was struggling to carry some bags coming out from a supermarket. "Oh hey Keiko" said Umehara as he waved which caught Keiko`s attention. "Oh, Umehara. fancy meeting you here," said Keiko as Umehara walked up to her.

"What's with all these bags?" Umehara asked. "Oh I'm responsible for groceries so I decided to get everything that we needed, what about you?" said Keiko. "My parents made me step out of the place to get some fresh air, but it seems that you've got your hands full," said Umehara. "Oh this, it'll be fine," said Keiko as she lifted up a bag to keep it from falling. "Here let me help you out," said Umehara as he took some of the bags. "Oh uh thanks, you wanna come over to my place?" Keiko asked as they were walking. "Sure I got nothing better to do and it`ll get me out of the cold weather" Umehara replied as he followed Keiko.

"Come on in," said Keiko as she opened the door to her place. "Is anyone else home?" Umehara asked as he took off his shoes. "No it's just me, my parents work late" said Keiko as she brought the bags into the kitchen. "Wow, so I'm alone with her? Come on, get your mind out of the gutter" Umehara thought as he tried to control himself. "Hey, where do you need this?" Umehara asked. "Just bring it into the kitchen, have a seat in the living room, I`ll make us some food as a way to thank you for carrying all this stuff," said Keiko to which Umehara took a seat on the couch. "Nice place, although Keiko knows so much about me, I don`t know very much about her," Umehara thought as he waited patiently.

"Food is ready," said Keiko as she brought the food over to the table which consisted of some curry and katsu. "Wow, this looks good," said Umehara as he dug in. "Is it good?" Keiko asked. "This is awesome, you know you'd make a good wife, I would mind being able to eat this all the time," Umehara said out of the blue which caused Keiko to blush profusely. "What? What are you saying?!" Keiko said embarrassed as she ran into the bathroom. "Maybe I shouldn`t have said that," Umehara thought as he couldn`t help, but feel that he messed up.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what do I do? Is Umehara flirting with me?" Keiko thought as she wasn`t expecting that comment from him of all people. "Umehara may have perverted tendencies, but in reality, he`s a good guy, you might have to take initiative with him though, otherwise, he won`t get the message," said a flashback from Junichi. "But I need to know for sure if he`s serious and I have something in mind," said Keiko as her expression quickly changed into a mischievous one.

"Oh Keiko, you`re back," said Umehara as Keiko came back to the table. "Listen, you can`t say things like that to girls out of the blue or they`ll get the wrong idea," Keiko said to Umehara. "I guess, did I offend you with the comment?" Umehara asked.

"I`ll let that comment slide if you help me in return," said Keiko as she walked over to a cabinet. "What`s that?" Umehara asked. "Can you watch this scary movie with me?" said Keiko with a smile on his face as she pulled out a DVD with the movie SAW. "Let`s see if you can back up your flirting" Keiko thought. "Sure if that`s what you want," said Umehara to which Keiko went to the kitchen to get some snacks. "Damn I`m not great with horror movies, but I gotta show that I`m a man, I just hope I don`t get too scared," Umehara thought as the movie began.

"Holy crap, this is scary than I thought," Umehara thought as they were watching a gore scene. What`s wrong? Are you sacred?" Keiko asked as she noticed Umehara was trembling. "I`m fine, hand me the popcorn," Umehara said nervously. "He`s definitely faking it," Keiko thought as she handed Umehara the popcorn.

After the movie

"I better get back home before my folks get too worried," said Umehara as he put his shoes on as it was getting late. "Boo!" Keiko said to which Umehara jumped back to which Keiko started laughing. "Come on, that wasn`t funny," Umehara said as he regained his composure. "You should have seen the look on your face, thanks for sticking around weekends can be boring alone," said Keiko. "Yeah don`t mention it, see you Monday," said Umehara as he opened the door. "Okay see you then, just don`t run into a maze tonight," Keiko said jokingly which sent a chill down Umehara`s spine. "I`m just kidding, get home safe," said Keiko as she waved to which Umehara waved back.

"I guess Umehara really is a genuine person, he even watched that horror movie with me despite how scared he was," Keiko thought as she was cleaning the living room up. "Maybe he is the one I`ve been looking for, I`ve been having fun being around him," Keiko said to herself as she looked back at Umehara`s good qualities.

Sunday

"So you finally got the famous love confession huh?" said Junichi as Umehara was at his place likely to discuss magazines discreetly. "Yeah I have no idea how it is," said Umehara as he laid back on the kotatsu. "Hmm lets narrow down the options, Ayatsuji is unlikely as she's all about work, Morishima-senpai would never send out a love confess like that, Kaoru is with me, I don't think my sister would do something like that neither would her friend Sae, that just leaves Keiko," said Junichi. "It could be her, but remember there's no name on the confession so it could be another girl. I`m pretty sure Keiko would put her name on a confession note " said Umehara.

"Yeah, that`s a possibility, by the way, if you meet this girl, you have a response?" Junichi asked. "Don`t know, I`ll see what this admirer wants from me and if she`s alright in my books I`ll accept" Umehara replied. "That sounds like a tall order, wanna pull out the premium magazine you brought?" said Junichi to which Umehara grinned. "You know it Boss" Umehara replied as Umehara pulled out some magazines to which the two proceeded to read dirty magazines.

Monday

"Tanaka-san, wake up," said Takahashi-sensei as she had fallen asleep during a lesson. "Huh? What?" Keiko groggily as she woke up. "Geez, what's the matter? You never fall asleep in class" Takahashi-sensei said in concern. "Oh I uh didn't get any sleep last night" Keiko blurted out to which Takahashi-sensei sighed. "Go get some sleep in the infirmary," said Takahashi-sensei to which Keiko excused herself which caught the attention of Umehara. "Umehara, this is all your fault, why did you have to go and say all that, now I can't focus," Keiko thought in despair as her heart was all over the place after the wife comment that Umehara had made to her.

"Everything okay?" Kaoru asked Keiko as they were walking back to the classroom after getting some drinks. "I'm fine, my mind was on some things" Keiko replied. "Oh? Is this about Umehara?" Kaoru said with a grin on her face. "What? No it's not" Keiko said in denial. "Come tell me, I wanna hear some details," said Kaoru, "Well.." Keiko started to say slowly.

"Did you two do something with each other?" Kaoru asked. "No, not really," said Keiko as she fidgeted nervously. "So what happened then that's got you like this," said Kaoru. "He said I'd make a good wife," said Keiko as she covered her face in embarrassment. "Wow I didn't know Umehara had a way with words, by the way, Umehara got your love letter?" Kaoru asked. "Yes, but I didn`t write my name on it" Keiko replied. "Wait what? How is Umehara supposed to know it`s you?" Kaoru asked in confusion. "I don`t know, he`ll find out after school" said Keiko to which Kaoru put her hands on Keiko`s shoulders.

"Listen, you have to tell Umehara the truth otherwise he might get the idea that you just want to be friends, do you want that?" Kaoru asked. "No but I.." Keiko started to say. "This is a chance, go for it, don`t be afraid of what will happen," said Kaoru to which Keiko nodded. "I`ll do it then," said Keiko to which Kaoru couldn`t help but smile. "They grow up so fast," Kaoru thought.

After School

"I'll see you tomorrow Boss," Umehara said as he grabbed his bag as the final bell rang. "Oh yeah, you're going to meet your secret admirer, good luck," said Junichi. "Try not to mess up too badly" Kaoru teased as the two left. "All right, time to see who this secret admirer is," Umehara thought as he headed up to the rooftop.

"I'm at the rooftop, where is she? Did I get pranked or something?" Umehara thought as there was no one waiting for him on the rooftop. "Geez I know that I have no luck with the girls, there's no need to prank me as well," Umehara thought annoyed as he was about to leave before his eyes were covered by hands. "What? What's going on?" Umehara thought. "Guess who?" said the voice. "Wait what`s going on? Is this some kind of game?" Umehara thought as he had no idea what was going on." That voice, I recognize it, Keiko," Umehara said to which the hands moved away revealing Keiko standing in front of him.

"Keiko?! What are you doing here?" Umehara asked as he realized the girl behind him was Keiko. "Guess you found me," Keiko said as she regained her composure. "What's going on? Is this a setup?" Umehara asked to which Keiko shook her head.

"The truth is I think I like you, ever since we started hanging out more, I've had more fun than I`ve ever had which has made me feel weird inside and it's all your fault," Keiko said anxiously which confused Umehara. "Why didn't you write your name on it?" Umehara asked.

"I was afraid of what was going to happen since the last time I did this, the guy I liked previously passed my love letter around as a joke. I didn't want to experience that again so I didn`t write my name on it because I was afraid that you`d reject me, I want to keep having fun with you," said Keiko to which Umehara embraced her much to her surprise.

"You don`t have to worry about any of that, I`ll make sure you're happy since you`ve made me happy. I won`t make you regret your decision," said Umehara to which Keiko couldn`t help but feel a weight had been lifted from her chest.

"My answer is Yes, let's go on a date then" Umehara replied to which Keiko smiled. "Hey since we're going out now, can I get a kiss?" Umehara asked as he leaned closer to Keiko to which she put her hand in the way. "Don't get carried away, what am I going to do with you?" said Keiko as she sighed as Umehara chuckled a little. "It took me a while, but I finally did it, I got a girlfriend now," Umehara thought. "Aww yeah!" Umehara shouted to which Keiko couldn`t help, but smile.

"Oh one more thing, since we`re dating, I`m limiting your private time with your porn magazines," said Keiko to which Umehara`s face quickly changed from a smile to a face of despair. "Please anything but that" Umehara pleaded to which Keiko couldn't help, but have a smile on her face. "Nope," Keiko said with a cheerful smile as the scene closed.
