(Haruhi's P.O.V.)
I was just sweeping around the second floor, when I heard someone call me.
"Haruhi?" Kyouya's father, Yoshio Ootori, called.
"Hai?" I went to the room where he called me. It's the attic, the place where I never went into when we were allowed to explore. I stoodstraight, not sure if I should go in or not.
"What are you waiting for?" Mr. Ootori spoke. "Come in." I did as I was told and went in to see what he's doing. He held a photo album in his left hand using the right hand to flip each page.
"Is that...?" I asked, pointing at the very old album.
"Yeah, the pictures of when Kyouya and Fuyumi were still a child..." He spoke softer than ever which I find unusual, for Mr. Ootori of course.
I looked at the pictures and listened to him talk while he's flipping the pages. "This is Kyouya on his first bath!" He said proudly which made me stifle a laugh. I stared at his pictures, he's chubby, smiley, and unbelievably cute!
"He's so cute!" I blurted out.
"I know... Look at how small he is before but now... He's in 180 cm or taller!" He flipped the pages once again and we talked and laughed until we heard someone open the door. It was...

KYOUYA.
"Dad, what are you showing to her?" His face showed the most epic expression ever! I could see the look of embarrassment and shock. He was hilarious when he ran to his dad and chased him around the attic.
"Hahahahha! Kyouya! Stop it!" I tried to say. Too bad, he's busy chasing his father. I watched the two happily because... for once, Kyouya and his father could actually bond.
*FLASHBACK*
"Do you ever bond with your father, Kyouya?" I asked.
"Well..." He paused for a minute and I could see the sadness in his brown-grey eyes...
I told him that it's alright if he doesn't tell me but he continued, "we... we never actually bonded ever since he became so busy with business..."
"I- I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked! I-" He shushed me.
"It's alright, Haruhi. To be honest, ever since you became a part of the club, our -my- loneliness disappeared..."
*END OF FLASHBACK*
After recalling that, I smiled a very soft smile that it's hardly visible. I looked at Kyouya and his father who's already looking at me. Then, his father spoke softly with a smile, "ready for the next challenge?"
(A/N: Sorry if it's uglehh (and short troloolololol) I have no idea what to put on the story anymore TTnTT Oh! and I saw the reviews when I was supposed to press Doc Manager but ended up clicking manage stories.
