[Sooo, you say he isn't into you and you aren't into him. :)]

[Correct.]

[Then why were you holding his haaand~? ;)]

[Oh, shut up! It meant nothing!]

[Then why are you blushing?]

[I AM NOT!]

[Then why is your face red?]

[STFU! I need to focus!]

[Aw! But then you won't need tutoring from Kiku~!]

[SHUT UP!]

"Elizabeta jo, Jae Hwa jo, anata wa, kurasu to kyōyū shitai mono ga aru nodesu ka?" Yama sensei asked us.

"Īe sensei!" we chime, me having difficulty saying it. Later, last period math with Kiku and Feli, I dared this kid Justin to interrupt the teacher.

"Teacher!"

"Yes Justin?"

"Can I go to the bathroom?"

"No! I'm in the middle of a lesson!"

"But I'm on my period!" he whined.

"You're a BOY!" she exclaimed. Feli and I started snickering, while Kiku had a smile on his face. Thank god we were in the way back!

"Oh. My. God. I soooo didn't think he would ACTUALLY do it! Ahahahahahaha! Justin rocks." I giggled. Feli agreed with me as Kiku stayed silently smiling.

"Bye Feli!"

"Bye Jae Jae! Bye Nihon!"

"Good bye, Feliciano."

"Sooooo..."

"Eh?"

"Where will we study, Kiku kun~?"

"I don't mind where we study, do you?"

"Nope! B-But, could we study at your house? Because my stepbrother..." I ask, starting to blush again.

"Sure, it's okay." he says softly.

"Mew!"

"D-Did you say that, Jae chan?" he asks.

"No! You?"

"No...""Mew!" the little voice mewled again, we look down and see a little brown and white kitten, batting at the puff ball attached to my boots. I smile and pick it up.

"Well, aren't you just the cutest little thing! I think I'll call you Yon Min!" I giggle. Kiku smiles at the kitten and lightly pats it's head. We don't even realize as we keep walking, that we were already at his car.

"Th-Thanks." I blush when he politely opens the door for me. I sit my bag on the floor between my feet as I sit with Yon Min in my lap.

"She really likes you, Jae chan." Kiku says, lightly stroking her fur as he starts the car up. Yon Min's mewls fill the silence that lurked over the two of us yesterday. He glanced over at me with a small smile when he saw I was playing peek-a-boo with Yon Min.

"You like playing peek-a-boo, don't you?" he asks.

"Sorta. Only with kitties, cuz they have the cutest reactions." I smile, not looking to him.
