-The song " 桜花爛漫 " was playing on the radio as it was sung by Saitou Jun as Hanamaru was in a book cafe as she was reading a book with Ruby. Hanamaru stopped reading and closed her book as she listened to the song intently-
Ruby: What's wrong Hanamaru-chan?
Hanamaru: Hm? Oh it's nothing, I just like this song, zura.
Ruby: Oh! This song was sung by Saitou Jun. Kanan-senpai's cousin.
Hanamaru: Eh?!
Ruby: You didn't know?
Hanamaru: I only knew that he was Kanan-san's cousin but I didn't know he sings and he was an idol, zura!
Ruby: Hehe, Hanamaru-chan, you should ask Kanan-senpai about him if you are curious.
Hanamaru: No, it's okay. I never met him and I don't really know what he looks like, zura.
Ruby: I thought you know about him?
Hanamaru: I heard stories and people talking about him but I never met him in person, zura.
Ruby: You should! Hanamaru-chan! I'm sure you'll love him!
Hanamaru: Eh? N-No way! I've never fallen in love before and I'm not looking to be in a relationship, zura..
Ruby: N-No! Not like that. I mean that you'll love him as an idol. He's really good looking! Look! -She turned over a few pages on her magazine and showed Hanamaru a picture of Saitou Jun in a modern fashion clothes, at the sight, Hanamaru blushed slightly as she was in awe- Well?
Hanamaru: He's really good looking, zura but he's way out of my league and he might not be a nice person, zura..
Ruby: What makes you say that?
Hanamaru: You can't judge a book by its cover, zura!
Ruby: Yeah.. I guess you're right.. But still..
Hanamaru: Zura? Isn't that him?
Ruby: Hm? Ah! It is! -She looked behind her and saw Jun at a table at the end of the cafe as he was reading a book alone- Now that I remembered, Kanan-senpai and the others did mention that he comes over to the town quite often.
Hanamaru: Why though?
Ruby: Maybe it's because he likes someone?
Hanamaru: C-Could it be Kanan-san, zura?!
Ruby: Maybe!
Hanamaru: Ruby-chan! You should go talk to him, zura.
Ruby: Eh?! W-Why me?
Hanamaru: Because you like him?
Ruby: I-I already have H-H-Hotaru-kun!
Hanamaru: Oh yeah, I forgot. Then I'll talk to him, zura!
Ruby: GanbaRuby! -She cheered on to Hanamaru as she got up from her seat and approached to Jun who was reading a book quietly-
Hanamaru: U-Um..Excuse me!
Jun: Y-Yes! I mean..Yes? -He looked up to see Hanamaru as he was slightly nervous-
Hanamaru: A-Are you Saitou Jun?
Jun: Yes. I-I am. Why?
Hanamaru: I-I'm a fan, zura!
Jun: "Zura"?
Hanamaru: Eek! -She quickly covered her mouth as she blushed and was embarrassed. Jun chuckled slightly-
Jun: Please, sit. How about I get a drink for you?
Hanamaru: I-It's okay! I was just here to say hi to you and to tell you that I love your music, zura!
Jun: Thank you for your compliment...Um..
Hanamaru: A-Ah! Hanamaru! Kunikida Hanamaru is my name!
Jun: Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Kunikida-san. -He got up from his seat and shook her hand as he was trying to keep his cool along with Hanamaru trying to stay calm. Hanamaru would then sit on a chair in front of Jun as he sat down at his seat as well- Judging from your uniform, you're from Uranohoshi?
Hanamaru: Yes! How did you know?
Jun: You're uniform and I know someone there.
Hanamaru: Is it Kanan-san?
Jun: Her and You-san.
Hanamaru: You know You-san?
Jun: She works with Kanan so yeah, we meet up together once in awhile.
Hanamaru: Ah! That makes sense, zura!
-At Ruby's table as Hotaru came by a little late-
Hotaru: Hey, where's Hana?
Ruby: Hi. Over there, talking to Saitou Jun.
Hotaru: The idol guy? Wow. I'm surprised you didn't go there to talk to him yourself.
Ruby: I-I can't! I'm not like Hanamaru-chan!
Hotaru: Yeah. You're supremely shy after all.
-Back at Hanamaru and Jun-
Hanamaru: So what's your relationship with Kanan-san?
Jun: Relationship? We're not dating or anything!
Hanamaru: Eh? I-I meant other than that, zura..
Jun: Oh! I'm sorry. I'm not very good with questions sometimes but anyway, Kanan and I are cousins and we were together since we were kids before my family moved to Tokyo.
Hanamaru: So what is it like being an idol, actor and a champion?
Jun: It's fun but tiring. There's a lot of stress put into it unless you're used to multitasking.
Hanamaru: Are you sure you'll be alright, zura?
Jun: Y-Yeah. I'm used to it since I've been doing it since I was 19.
Hanamaru: Oh! I'm sorry, zura! I was asking a lot of personal questions. I feel so rude!
Jun: Nah, don't worry about it. You're Kanan and You-san's junior. Tell me something about yourself. -He asked with an innocent smile as Hanamaru blushed slightly and nodded quickly-
Hanamaru: I..I like bread!
Jun: Bread? Any type of bread?
Hanamaru: Yes!
Jun: Me too! I love bread!
Hanamaru: Oh! Really? Yay!
Jun: What else do you like?
Hanamaru: Music, books. Story books about history is the best.
Jun: Oh hey! Just like me! Have you read "Lord of the Rings"?
Hanamaru: I have and I loved it!
Jun: It's so nice to see girls at your age, reading books like Lord of the Rings, the really old and complicated books.
Hanamaru: It was a bit hard to read at first but after I finished it, I just couldn't stop wanting more, zura!
Jun: Then you should try "The Hobbit" and "Harry Potter".
Hanamaru: I heard they were good but I asked one of my seniors if he could find it but he had no luck..
Jun: If you want, I can lend you my copy of the books but there's a lot to read.
Hanamaru: Really?! I love it long books!
-Hanamaru and Jun were talking and laughing as Ruby and Hotaru were looking at the two and find it cute but awkward at the same time, an hour later when Jun had to leave, everyone else left as Jun went to the station and went back to Tokyo as Hanamaru waved goodbye to him-
Hanamaru: -She'd sigh in happiness-
Hotaru: What's up, Hana?
Hanamaru: Oh nothing, zura~
Ruby: Hanamaru-chan...Are you in love?
Hanamaru: Eh?! N-No! I'm not!
Hotaru: Hey look, it's Saitou Jun.
Hanamaru: Where?! -She looked back to see no one as Hotaru joked with her, he would laugh as she looked back at him with tears in her eyes-
Hotaru: A-Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!
Ruby: How come you're in love with him now?
Hanamaru: H-He's...Charming? And fun to be with, zura!
Hotaru: One could tell since we were both watching you two laugh and talk like a couple.
Hanamaru: W-We looked like a couple..?
Ruby: A cute couple!
Hanamaru: -She'd blush and get embarrassed as the three walked back home together. When Hanamaru got home, she sat on the floor beside her bed and snacked on a bun as she thought about Jun- I wonder if I should learn how to bake bread for him, zura..
-The next following day after school, Hanamaru was walking to Kanan's parents shop to visit and as she got there, she saw You, Kanan and Jun together as they were talking-
Jun: Ah, Kunikida-san! I was about to go and look for you.
Hanamaru: Eh? You were?
Jun: Yeah. I brought the books you wanted but I'm only lending you The Hobbit because I don't want you to get in the way of your studies first-
Hanamaru: Aw, thank you so much, zura. -She smiled happily and held the bag of books- So how come you're here?
Jun: I was free so I came over to help out with the girls.
You: By sitting down and talking to his uncle while all the girls came over to look at him.
Kanan: While I was teaching class for the other guys.
Jun: I-I'm sorry but your dad asked me to stay over to watch the shop while you two went out.
You: Yeah but still!
Kanan: It wouldn't hurt for you to come and say hi to us while we were working, you know?
Jun: I'm sorry..
Hanamaru: Hey now! Kanan-san, You-san, you're being bad to him! Stop bullying him when he's older than you, zura!
Jun: Kunikida-san..
Kanan & You: Hmph!
Hanamaru: You guys don't have to get so mad at him, zura..
Kanan: All of my female students from my class skipped their lessons to hear Jun talk about Pirates of the Caribbean!
You: Well...It was fun when he talked about it.
Kanan: Who's side are you on?
You: Oh right! Bad Jun!
Jun: My deepest apologies.
Hanamaru: You girls are mean, zura! -She said as she grabbed Jun's wrist and left quickly-
You: Ah! Jun!
Kanan: Unbelievable..
You: Hanamaru-chan was defending him...You think?
Kanan: Maybe..
You: Should we?
Kanan: No..No! It's up to him to decide and I do feel bad for being a bit mean to him..
You: He's a gentleman after all.. Yeah it was pretty much your fault.
Kanan: ?!
Hanamaru: Those two were just plain mean! Absolutely mean! Unforgivable, zura!
Jun: K-Kunikida-san? Kunikida-san!
Hanamaru: Y-Yes?
Jun: Where are we going?
Hanamaru: Oh...I just dragged you along without realizing where we were going. I'm sorry!
Jun: No no, it's alright, it was my fault for dragging you into that situation but they were just teasing me. -He said it with a smile-
Hanamaru: No! Even if they were teasing, they went too far!
Jun: You didn't have to defend me though, I always get teased by them.
Hanamaru: -She'd blush madly as she held onto the bag of books- I just...It was bullying, zura! I don't like bullies!
Jun: It's okay and...Thank you. -He walked up to her and petted her head lightly with a smile on his face as she looked up at him with a blush on her cheeks-
Hanamaru: Y-You're welcome..Zura..-Jun would then stop petting her as he blushed and got nervous- U-Um...I know we just met yesterday but..Can I call you by your first name, zura?
Jun: O-Of course you can. I was about to ask the same for you.
Hanamaru: If you don't mind, call me Hana instead, zura.
Jun: R-Right. Sure thing, Hana.
Hanamaru: -She'd blushed madly and skipped a heartbeat as she smiled up at him happily- Thank you, Jun-kun!
Jun: Oh and how about we exchange phone numbers too?
Hanamaru: I...Uh..I don't have a phone, zura. But I can give you my home number!
Jun: R-Right! Sure! That'll work too! -Jun would save Hanamaru's house phone number as he walked her back home to the shrine at the hill, after he had dropped her off at the shrine, they both said their goodbyes as Hanamaru was blushing as she sighed in happiness-
