Alright, here is the rewrite of chapter 2. Please enjoy!

Haibara's P.O.V.

After much thinking, I finally decided to leave the group to see if I could help Masudo's older brother with the cooking... As I walk toward the kitchen, I caught a whiff of something warm and tasty coming from the kitchen. When I arrive at the kitchen, I notice that Masudo-san's older brother was not there. The alluring smell seems to be coming from the counter table.

Out of curiosity, I walk toward the counter with a small stool, went on it, and saw a large plate with baked cookies. They look to be oatmeal cookies and I can somewhat feel them still warm. Must had been taken out of the oven just recently.

While my attention was on the baked cookies, I didn't notice that someone was sneaking behind me until they put their hand on my shoulder and said "BOO!".

Surprised, I lost my balance and tumble the stool, causing me to fall back. I guess the person was surprised of my sudden fall since they too went down with me.

THUD! CLANK!

When I open my eyes, I found myself on someone, gripping tightly on their sweater from the impact. I look up and saw it was Masudo-san's older brother. Suddenly my eyes made contact with his and without much thinking, I drop my head down.

To make matter even more intense, I could hear his heart beating as I lay my head on his chest. The soft beating of his heart cause me to blush rapidly until something landed on my head. The strange liquid begins to flow out of my hair and to my face. Apparently, when I fell on him, he was carrying a pitcher filled with juice.

"Ara ara..." Masudo-san older brother starts out. "I guess I deserve that for creeping up on you...Gomen."

I look at his face and saw some of the juice dripping from his face, putting his front hair down. I couldn't move from where I am. It as if he's Medusa who just turn me to stone. I was that petrified. I couldn't tell if I'm breathing or just holding my breathe.

His face is that attractive and I couldn't stop looking at him until he start speaking. "Ano, would you mind getting of me. I don't want to get you even more wetter than you already gotten.

"Huh?" Is all that came out of my mouth. Some of the liquid made their way to my shirt. I quickly got off him and look down from embarrassment. Again, I did something that will definitely affect the way he looks at me.

WHY IS THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME! BETTER YET, WHY DO I KEEP FEELING LIKE THIS WHENEVER MASUDO-SAN'S OLDER BROTHER IS INVOLVED! I thought to myself as to why my body reacts so strangely whenever I am near Masudo-san's older brother.

Could it be a simple crush?


After the whole Scare & Drop event, he lead me to the bathroom, took a towel and started to dry my hair. I was at the moment too embarrassed to say otherwise and just let him have it his way while I stood there in silence.

"Sorry about before, I should have been more aware of my actions and the consequences they bring." He said to me as he dries my hair. "There, there is a scent of apple but that nothing a bath won't fix and sorry again for causing you so much trouble." He said as he lays his right hand on top of his head, looking down.

"No!... I suddenly reply. He look at me, a bit surprised. "I m-mean it quite alright." I said, recovering from my sudden impulse.

"That's good to hear... I don't mean to start us off on the wrong foot." He then bends down toward my level and stare at me a bit.

"A-Ano...i-iss t-there something wrong?" I ask him nervously. He puts his hands over my head and brought my front hair back. Suddenly I felt his forehead touch mine.

"A-A-A-AAAnnno." I attempted, trying to form words but failed.

I can hear and feel my heart suddenly beat rapidly as I felt my face warming up. My face must have been red as a cherry.

"You're a bit warm, probably a small fever..." He said, still keeping his forehead touching mine.

"Huh?" I instinctively reply but I quickly recover by saying " It's nothing." Then I pull away from him.

"Are you sure?" He ask worriedly. I in return nodded, not want to look at his face so I looked at the floor.

He sigh, "Good, anyway we should be heading back now." He said, letting go of me, and walk toward the doorway. Before leaving, I shouted "Wait!"

Surprising myself by the sudden cry from my mouth. "Will you be alright?" Looking at his right arm. I remember as I fell earlier, most of the impact was directed at his right arm in order to soften the fall.

"Don't worry, I'm more of a left-handed anyway." He reply.

I couldn't do anything but just nod my head while I feel my face heating up a bit.


Apparently everyone else was wondering where we went. They were asking me what took so long but I simply told them that we had a little accident but nothing to worry about. As we ate our snacks, I begin to get nervous around my friends, especially since they continue to ask questions relating to the "ACCIDENT".

"I hope you guys are enjoying the snack." Masudo-san's older brother said.

"Yes we are!" Everyone else said. As we ate, I felt Kudo walking up to me from behind. "Oi Haibara..." He whisper to me while everyone else were chatting.

"Hm?" I said to me. "So what happen after you left?" Kudo asks, looking so serious. I look at him for a sec and then turn to look at Masudo-san's older brother.

"Nothing happen, why? Are you worry about little old me?" I said while smiling a bit. "Oi, Oi, of course I am. You been acting weird and also you have a feint smell of apple from your hair." He said as he brought his face closer to mine.

"What are you doing?" I asks him with my deadpan look. He then pulled back while closing his eyes. He scratches his head and let out a sigh. "Oi Haibara, you wouldn't happen to..." He beings with a low but serious tone.

I look at Kudo in awe, but then nervous. Did he discover my feelings already? Did he figure out my dilemma with Masudo-san older brother?

I look at him, a bit scare of what he is about to say.

"...have a crush on Masudo-san's older brother?" He finally said.

He figured it out. But is it really merely a crush? I thought as I look down, not wanting to face Kudo so suddenly.

I don't know what to do...

Alright, I finally finish rewriting chapter 2, now onward to chapter 3. Hope you enjoy it.
