(Itsuki' s P.O.V.)
On the way in, Sae kept poking me. It's annoying. Mutsuki was also going in with Chitose. Mutsuki seems happy for the first time in all these years. Chitose seems gloomy. I tried asking Mutsuki why he was so happy but I had no chance with the way he's skipping and singing and dancing. Chitose went straight to her room. Sae went to the kitchen to find some food. I sat on the couch in the living room, watching TV. I can still feel Mio hugging my arm. Suddenly Chitose stand in front of me. She took the remote from me and turned off the TV. "Listen to me Itsuki. Why didn't you wait for me after school nowadays? Is it because of that Mio?" She started to shout at me. I said to her to calm down. "Isn't the driver there to pick you up?" She glared at me and said "I'll pray that something bad will happen to you both." She walked out of the room. Sae stepped in and asked me what had happen. I said that it was nothing. I turned on the TV. Sae kept looking at me. "Is my face that cute?" "Stupid." She munched some more chips and continue watching TV. Chitose….what's wrong with you? I went to my room since it's already dark outside. I lay down on my bed, trying to sleep since tomorrow's the exam. Don't need to get over excited. It's just an exam. I grabbed a manga and started to read it. Go to sleep Itsuki! Why can't you? Something dropped from the manga I was reading. It's a letter. There it reads…
Dear Itsuki,
Nothing seems to change. You're a hot guy whom I can't resist. Stupid as it seems, I'm just playing dumb and blind. I've got good eye sight and I'm just messing around with you. Don't take it to heart. Yup, I'm a bitch.
P/S: Stupid!
Love XXX,
Mio
Should I believe this crap? Should I? No…that's not my Mio. My Mio's great. She's kind. Yeah…Anyways, this seems so childish. She'll never write this….would she?

(Chitose's P.O.V.)
NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK! I threw papers from my desk which made the lamp broke. Who cares about the stupid lamp? I hate you Itsuki! I hate you the most MIO! JUST DIE YOU STUPID BLIND GIRL! Mom and Dad knocked my door. "Mio's going to have a surgery on her eyes. Don't tell Itsuki alright? It's a surprise! Aren't you happy?" I didn't let them in, they just stood in front of my door. Surgery eh….oooh, an idea!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(Mio's P.O.V.)
Reika-san called me to her office. What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? I was practically trembling on my way to her office. When I opened the door, Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana were sitting, sipping their coffee. As Reika-san asked me to sit down, Mrs. Tachibana hold my hand and said, "You're getting a surgery for your eyes! You're going to see Mio! You're going to see!" I was about to jump with happiness. I'm GOING TO SEE! Mr. Tachibana then continued, " You'll not going to take the exam for tomorrow since tomorrow is the surgery. Don't worry, I've already told your teacher. He said that you could take the exam later. One more thing, please don't tell anyone yet. It's going to be a surprise. BE READY!" They left the room. I went out of the room too. Reika-san was congratulating me. That night, Mayu was still studying. I went to bed early, I can't wait for tomorrow!
The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana came to pick me up. "Are you ready?" They both danced in the limousine. "Of course I am." I danced a little bit too and went in the car. Mrs. Tachibana hold my hand when we arrived at the hospital. Mr. Tachibana was talking to the doctor. We sat for awhile. "So Mio, you're going to see your wedding gown!" I answered her with a nod. The doctor called so I went into the room. Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana cheered for me. The room was silent. The only thing that I could hear is the machines. "Please lie down." I do as I was told. The nurse gave me an injection. I HATE INJECTIONS but, this is for my own good. I can see Itsuki' s face! Wait, why am I thinking about him? Just focus Mio, focus! Without noticing, it had been five hours. The doctor asked me to open my eyes. What a miracle! I can see! I can see! Mrs. Tachibana was waving her hand in front of me. "You can see?" She hugged me tightly when I nod. Mr. Tachibana clapped his hand. The doctor said that I can go home. I can't wait to tell the others!

(Itsuki's P.O.V.)
Maybe I'll ask Mio about the letter today. Chitose gave me a grin at breakfast. Sae looked at me and Chitose. Mutsuki was singing to himself. Oh yeah! There's going to be an exam today. When Sae and I arrived at school, Mio was nowhere to be found. She wasn't in class, not in the canteen, not in the toilet either! (Sae checked that for me. Don't get me wrong.) Mr. Kiryu was submitting the examination papers. I sat down, trying to calm down. "You can start, now!" Everyone begin answering the questions. What kind of questions are these? Sae seems to answer with ease. Others were scratching their head. About 31 minutes later, I was done. I have another 20 minutes so what should I do now? I looked out of the window. It's almost summer time. I think I'll bring Mio to the beach. She can feel the soft, sandy beach there. Oh yeah, Mio….I looked blankly at her sit which is by the window. Where are you Mio? My friends were sleeping on their exam paper. Sae looked at me. She seems to be looking at me these days. What's wrong? What? The exam's over. I submitted my paper and went out. We can return home early since there's only a Science exam today. I asked Sae to g back with everyone else. I want to take a walk.
When I was feeling the breeze, suddenly Mom, Dad and Mio were skipping together. Mom saw me and they all ran toward me. "Seems like it's not a secret anymore!" Mom danced with Dad. Mio came right in front of my face and said, "Are you Itsuki! I can see!" She twirls around and around. I guess she did wrote the letter. I grabbed hold of her hand and brought her to my house. When we arrived, I slapped her twinkling face. "SO YO WROTE THIS? LIAR!" Her face changed. "NO I DIDN'T! OF COURSE NOT!" She stomped on my foot and said, "I THOUGHT YOU'D BE HAPPY FOR ME!" Mom and Dad were peeping on us. I can see them from the door. Chitose came in, licking her ice-cream. She smiled and clapped her hands. Mio cried. Did she wrote it? Or was it Chitose? I tried to comfort Mio. He face wasn't sad anymore but it turned to a very happy face." I love you Itsuki!" She hugged me tightly and started to sing "I LOVEYOU! I LOVE YOU!" Chitose was so angry that she threw her ice-cream at Mio but missed. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BOTH OF YOU? I TRIED EVERYTHING TO BREAK YOU TWO UP! I STRIPPED MIO JUST TO MAKE A MISUNDERSTANDING AND I WROT E THAT LETTER! WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOUR LIVES MISERABLE!" Oh! So this is why Mio hugged me so suddenly. Mio smiled and said politely to the crying Chitose. "There's nothing to be jealous about. Itsuki is still your brother even if when I marry him." Chitose hugged Mio and cried. Mio hugged her back. Wow, that's the first time I see someone that can stand Chitose. Mom and Dad pops in the room and they were pretty angry. "Chitose! How dare you do that!" Mio tried to help Chitose but suddenly she said. "Uhh…I'M PREGNANT!" Mio's pregnant? We didn't even do it before! Mio tried to smile. Chitose looked at Mio with an amazed look but then she understood that Mio was just bluffing. Dad turned to his happy mode. "I'M GOING TO HAVE GRANDCHILDRENS!" Sae entered the room. She wasn't too happy when she saw Dad dancing. She bowed and asked Mio to follow her. I wonder what's wrong?

(Mio's P.O.V.)
Sae brought me to the park. We sat down on a bench. She was happy to see me that I can see now. But something was bothering her mind. I can see it from her face. Wow! I've always wanted to say it! I can see. All of my excitement must not show. Sae was having a problem and I'm not going to seem happy about it. "What's wrong Sae? Something bothering you? I can help you." She nod and looked at me seriously. "Do you love Itsuki?" I was amazed by her question. "Well…uh…" She continued without letting me finish my sentence. "If you do, then you're stupid. I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just trying to protect you. You'll gain something and at the same time, you'll also lose something. Watch out for this sentence. Please tell me if someone tells you this. I'll always help you." Sae took her purse and walks away. She left me all alone on the bench. Why so sudden? What's going on? I don't seem to follow. I sat alone for a few hours on the bench, thinking about what Sae had told me about. What if I love Itsuki? Wait, do I love him or not? I'm still not clear about this. Everyone's face at the park was so happy except for me. The fountain is so beautiful. I've read some mangas and even watch some animes about a romantic scene where the guy meets his true love at the fountain. How romantic…..Wait! Wait Mio! You can't think about this! You've got a problem to solve first. Aaaaaah!

(? P.O.V.)
We mustn't tell her. Don't do anything yet.

(Mayu' s P.O.V)
Days had passed and I haven't seen Mio for awhile. Where had she gone off to? She must be with her family right now. The great news is I PASSED THE EXAM! Mutsuki passed his too. He greeted me in front of the school gate with a hug. He looks happy. Everyone was watching. I had to tell him that we need to go somewhere else and he agreed. We went to the café to celebrate. Mutsuki was as cheery as ever. Seeing his smile makes me feel happy. When our food arrived, he ate it gentleman like and all that I could do is stare while eating my food. Stare at his proper manners. He gave me a gift again. It was a love bracelet. Mutsuki always giving presents to me but I had never. Maybe I'll buy him something with my money. After we ate and when we're outside, I took this opportunity to grab his hand and run to the beach. We were breathing faster than ever when we reached the beach. Mutsuki laughed. He took something beside him. It was a ticket to a summer party at the beach. I took it and kissed his cheeks. I mustn't do that. Stupid, stupid, stupid me! That was so embarrassing! Mutsuki will never forgive me on my stupid behavior. He'll probably took the ticket back and gave it to another girl who's tons better than me. I apologized to him. He was blushing and then he stand up. "I LOVE YOU MAYU!" he shouted for a few times which made everyone who's at the beach staring at him. A couple who's a couple years older than us was saying "How sweet.." I covered my face, not wanting Mutsuki to see me. He lied down on the sandy beach. "Let's watch the sunset together." The sunset was so beautiful. Suddenly, an unexpected thing happened. Mutsuki kissed me quickly on the lips. I froze. Wh…at j..jjust..hhapppened? Mutsuki smiled at me sweetly. Mutsuki sent me back to the orphanage. I lie down on my bed, hugging a pillow. My heart was still beating fast. I just want to burst and yell I love you too Mutsuki! But that'll disturb the others. However, Mutsuki……..Kyaaaaa…..
