*Time Skip*
(The evening before the Entrance Exam)
Ren POV
A couple of months passed by very quickly, I spent the majority of my time studying for the entrance exam for Mitsuhashi University. Papa said I was ready, yet I still had my doubts. I flopped down on the couch and stared up at the ceiling.
Can I really pass? Did I study enough? If I fail what happens then? I asked myself.
"Ren? What are you doing?" I turned my head to see Nowaki hovering above me.
"Dad! I was just worrying about the entrance exam tomorrow, what if…"
"Ren. You studied right?"
"Yes."
"Hiro-san said you would pass right?"
"Yes, papa said I would pass with flying colors." I said sitting up from the couch.
"You're going to do your best right?" Nowaki sat beside me and grasped my hands.
"Yes, because I'm your daughter." I smiled.
"Then there's no need to be worried right?"
"Yes daddy, I believe you are correct. Thanks for supporting me." I gave one of his hands a squeeze.
"Good girl, I know you will make us proud." Nowaki reassured giving me a pat on my head.
"You always know what to say."
"Not all the time." He laughed.
"I guess not, by the way…has papa been overworking himself? I haven't seen him too much, but when I do he's passed out on your bed before I can count to three."
"I've asked him many times, but he's very stubborn."
"Perhaps he's trying to spend more time with us by completing his work quickly, but in the end he exhausts himself." I said more to myself.
"Maybe…Ren you should go to bed soon, you don't want to oversleep." Nowaki said pulling me off of the couch.
"You're right, good night dad." I let go of his hands and headed toward my room.
Maybe I should text Kou-kun and apologize for being busy.
I took out my phone and started typing:
Ren: I'm sorry I never texted as soon as I said I would but I've been pretty swamped, studying for my college entrance exam
Kou: Oh, so that's why…I thought you had forgotten about your first official friend :'(
I'm surprised he sent a reply almost immediately.
Ren: Kou-san…you're very difficult to forget
Kou: Aww I'm flattered!
Ren: You should be…
Kou: Was that sarcastic?
Ren: Nope :)
Kou: Hmm, good otherwise I would be deeply hurt
Ren: Kou-san…do you think I can pass…I've been worried
Kou: Ren…since it's been two months, I think we can both drop the honorifics, even if you forgot about me for a little bit…
Ren: Okay…Kou, I think that's all I needed to know. Thank you
Kou: I'm not entirely sure what I did, but you're welcome Ren
Ren: Goodnight Kou I have a test to pass tomorrow!
Kou: Goodnight Ren, and do your best!
Ren: I will! Thanks for your support!
I took in a deep breath and set my alarm.
I can do this, Kou, papa, and dad all said everything will be okay.
I pulled my blankets up and readjusted my pillows before I eventually drifted off to sleep.
