Yume woke up bright and early.
"Koharu-chan's visiting today!" She giggled. "I've already told M4 to come, and S4, and Mahira and Laura and Ako... I'll go see if they're at the gates already."

"Asahi-kun!"
He turned around.
"Oh, good morning, Yume-chan," he replied, waving.
"You're here really early," Yume noted.
"Of course." He grinned. "It's Koharu-chan!"
She nodded. "Do you like Koharu-chan?"
Then she blushed. "You- you don't have to tell me if it's too personal!"
He smiled. "Yeah. I'm going to tell her sometime when she's here."
"Oh," she replied. "Umm... Can I ask for your advice about love?"
He nodded.
"Ummm...There's a guy I like, and I think he might like me, but I'm not sure. He hasn't told me if he does yet."
"Is he part of M4?"
Yume nodded, blushing.
Okay, Asahi grinned. It must be Subaru.
"Just be patient," he advised. "If he doesn't tell you soon, there's a high chance he doesn't."
"Thanks," Yume said, her face turning a little redder.
And... that's when Subaru decided to show up. When Asahi was grinning and Yume was blushing. Nice timing, huh?
(If you still don't get it, it looks like Asahi asked Yume out, and she said yes.)
"Ummm..." Subaru said awkwardly. "Did I... interrupt something?"
"Huh?" Yume looked at him. "What do you mean?"
DOUBLE-FACEPALM!
(I'm sorry, but that sounds like a superpower.)
"Nevermind," Subaru replied.
If she's like that, nothing happened, he decided. Even someone like her understands when someone asks her out.
But the atmosphere stayed awkward until the others showed up.

A black limousine pulled in front of the school gates. The door opened, and Koharu stepped out.
"KOHARU-CHAN!" Yume cheered.
"Yume-chan! Mahiru! Laura! Ako! Yozora-sempai! Yuzu-sempai! Hime-senpai! Tsubasa-sempai! And M4! Thank you very much for greeting me!"
"Why did you name all of S4, but you just called us 'M4?'" Subaru said playfully.
Koharu blushed. "Umm... there were too many names..."
"Well..." Yume said. "3...2...1..."
"Welcome back, Koharu-chan!" They said together.
