Chapter Seven/ The Sun, The Sea, and the Host Club!
"Holy shit can you guys pick anything for Haruhi that isn't pink?!"
"AND YOU THINK A WHITE SWIMSUIT IS BETTER?! HOW LAME!" The twins shout in unison, defensively standing beside a mannequin wearing a pink, frilly bikini. A plethora of swimsuits surrounded everyone in the host club. Sora and the twins go back in forth, much to Haruhi's irritation. Mannequins wearing all different kinds of bikinis and one-pieces were all being thrown at her. Honey-senpai, not one for fighting, crept up beside the first-year honor student holding a dark blue one-piece.
Pink hearts surround Honey-senpai, "Haru-chan, wear this one, okay? It'll look the cutest!"
Sora and the twins all scoffed and shook their heads in disagreement. Sora placed a hand on her hip, "No offense senpai but come on now!"
"Huh?"
The twins lift up Haruhi each by one arm. An arrow seemingly points at Haruhi's chest
[Little Miss A-Cup]
"This uniform barely covers the fact that Haruhi's as flat as a cutting board," Hikaru says, his tone of voice much more calm compared to moments ago.
Kaoru nods nonchalantly, "A one-piece like that would only upset her more because it draws attention to her lack of feminine physique~"
As if they weren't at each other's throats moments ago, the twins release Haruhi and allow Sora to take her place in between the twins. Sora links her arms with the twins and nods her head, "Perhaps if Haruhi had longer legs a one-piece would compliment her body type despite her lack of breasts, but she's too short... No offense, Haru."
Haruhi, already dead inside at this point, ignores Sora completely. Honey also gives Sora and the twins an annoyed stare but he simply lets go of the blue one-piece he had chosen.
Sora lets go of the twins and pick up a mannequin with a white bikini. The top was a strapless bandeau top that went straight across the mannequin's chest area and the bottom was plain white that had many frills, making the bottom appear similar to a skirt.
Sora hugs the mannequin, "Keeping Haruhi's best interest in mind, I carefully selected this piece. Haru doesn't like bikinis but this top covers the most of her upper body compared to the others and is tight with no straps, which lowers the chance of anything slipping out. The bottoms are so cute and the white color of the whole piece compliments Haruhi's skin tone and brown hair."
The twins let out an audible 'tsk' in disappointment, "But, once again, you ignore the fact that Haruhi is flat! That's why~"
They point at the mannequin wearing the frilly pink bikini, "We carefully selected this piece! The ruffles hide the fact that she is so flat-chested!"
Out of nowhere, a baseball bat appeared and knocked the twins out of the room. Tamaki, who was red from anger, appeared in a full baseball uniform. "You punks better stop sexually harassing my little girl!" He said, watching the twins fly into oblivion due to his powerful swing. Sora's eyes widen and she steps away from the swimsuits, whistling to appear like she had nothing to do with them in the first place. The twins quickly recover and hide behind a table.
"I've had enough of YOU!" Tamaki hisses, glaring at the twins cosmetically.
Sora hid behind Mori, who was analyzing a sea-shell bikini. "Boss?" Sora mumbles, "We're... still going to the beach, right?"
Tamaki put the bat over his shoulder, "Oh we're going to the beach alright." He confirms, much to Haruhi's chagrin.
"Huh? We're really going to go?"
...
...
"I can't believe we were tricked by Tamaki," Sora grumbles, tying her long black hair back into a ponytail. Sora sported an orange bikini and had long, dangly star earrings in her ears to match.
Hikaru picked up a beachball with a tired smile on his face, "Makes us all feel a little dumb."
Kaoru shrugs, "None of us could figure he'd bring the ladies with us."
The host club all traveled to the beach together, unknowingly about to start club activities as soon as they got there. The twins played a game of beach volleyball and flirted with each other, Tamaki was beguiling some of the girls by the sea, Honey and Mori...dancing with their guests, Haruhi chatting up her usual guests, and Kyoya taking notes. Sora's regulars couldn't make it and, much to Sora's anger, her fourteen-year-old sister Kai had come with some of the other guests.
Sora crossed her arms, "This is so stupid. What kind of dumb ass invites middle schoolers to this damn trip? I-"
Without looking up from his clipboard, Kyoya cuts Sora off. "You all were invited to this all-expense-paid vacation for a reason. And that reason is to keep our clients entertained. Sora, I suggest you learn to deal with it without cursing Tamaki's name too much."
Sora's expression goes blank, "I wasn't talking about Tamaki. I was talking about you— asshole."
The air around Sora and Kyoya grows dark and thunderous, with the image of a wild python and wild dog appearing over them, like two beasts about to head into battle. Before things could get heated between the two, the twins drag Sora a little bit farther away from the vice-president. Without noticing the hostility in the air, Tamaki twirls to the seat beside Kyoya and leans back.
Tamaki puts his hands behind his head, "You know, at first I was just going to take us all to Fiji... But I figured our poor little Haruhi didn't have a passport so Kyoya suggested we just go to his beach in Okinawa and bring the guests... That way my little girl won't be in a swimsuit in front perverts like you."
Tamaki lets his mind wander into a fantasy and grows more and more red. His disgusting movement of joy ironically causes Kyoya and Sora to forgive each other and forget all about their argument and both walk away from Tamaki together in disgust.
The twins sit at the table once previously occupied by Kyoya. Kaoru chuckles, "Why did Sora-senpai charge at Kyoya like that?"
Hikaru shrugs, "He invited her little sister without telling her! Anyone would be peeved by that..."
Though she didn't express it, Sora felt somewhat betrayed by Kyoya not communicating with her about Kai coming first. He of all people should know she wants to keep her family as separate from her friends as humanly possible. And worst of all, it just had to be her sister
Kai Kawashima wore a rainbow bikini top and matching rainbow swim shorts. The vice president had allowed Kai to come because she was A) almost at high school age anyways and B) keeping the host club going to the Kawashima's party a secret. A small price to pay that was seemingly harmless since Kai had not even interacted with any other host club members yet. Kai was simply mindlessly digging in the sand and texting on her phone, seeming bored.
Kaoru chuckles, "I'm sure Kyoya-senpai didn't mean any harm but he sure can be a real jerk sometimes."
Unknown to them, three guests had been standing behind the twins with worried expressions. Tamaki, who was completely red and squirming around, appeared to be having a seizure in their eyes. The twins don't bother to look up. Instead, Kaoru closes his eyes and leans back in his chair and Hikaru glances at Sora's younger sister, who was now talking to Honey.
"Hiya, Kai-Chan!~ You wanna catch crabs with me?"
Kai Kawashima, aged 14, looks up at the eighteen-year-old in disbelief. Kai was only a little bit taller than Honey (who was 4'11) and she too had a bit of a babyface but... Seeing Mitsukuni Haninozuka so close in person was almost shocking. Weeks ago she briefly spotted him when he approached their car to greet Sora, but they certainly didn't speak. Kai shakes off her surprise and politely shakes her head.
"No, thank you."
Honey frowns "You don't like me?" He asked, causing Kai to raise one eyebrow. The way fake tears almost instinctively wells in his eyes didn't do much but annoy the girl.
"No."
Honey's mouth dropped and he went white with shock. Yikes. "Aw, c'mon Kai-chan~ It will be fun~!" He exclaims. Though the excitement in his voice wavered a bit.
Kai shook her head, "No"
"Is it because we don't know each other?" Honey asks, pouting. The older boy was determined to get Kai to soften up a bit, having noticed the tension between the two sisters from a mile away. Kai's blank expression doesn't give much away, but she seemed annoyed "Yes."
Her one word replies were starting to make Honey feel a bit awkward, so he grins at her and lifts her up by pulling her hands "Well then, let's get to know each other! C'mon~!"
Honey grips her hand somewhat tightly to prevent her from sitting back down and led the girl over to where most of the shellfish were being placed. Surprised by all the fish (that were definitely not supposed to be there) Kai instinctively starts placing shellfish in a bucket, wanting to have something to do rather than make conversation with Honey. Honey examines the girl while she was looking away.
She and Sora look nothing alike.
The tall, womanly, black-haired, sharp-eyed, and pale Sora and the young, short, big doe-eyed, tan, and dark red-brown haired Kai were practically completely opposite from each other in terms of appearance. The fact that they look so different can't possibly be the reasons for the sisters' awkward relationship with each other, because if that were the case Kai would dislike all of her siblings the same.
Honey bent down, "Kai-chan, why do you hate Sora-chan so much?"
...
...No use beating around the bush.
Kai shrugs, "Why not?"
Honey tilts his head in thought. He figured it wouldn't be that easy, but it was worth a shot.
Determined, Honey merely smiled "It's a shame you two don't get along... It makes Sora-chan really sad. It would be much more fun if you two tried to get along, 'kay~?"
Kait sits down and brings her knees up to her chest, frowning. Just as he was beginning to think he struck a chord with her, Kai stood up and shook off any negative feelings she was beginning to have, her expression going back to being emotionless "Look, I appreciate your attempt to play therapist. But I have no interest in mending my relationship with my sister." She turns around to march off "...You wouldn't get it." She hisses quietly
Suddenly, the middle school girl bumps right into Haruhi, who was approaching Honey to ask about the onslaught of shellfish that just randomly appeared. Kai frowns, "Sorry Haruhi-Kun... I should've watched where I was going."
"Huh?"
..Haruhi-Kun?
Honey smiles and waves, "Kai-chan! You know Haru-chan?"
Kai looks back and shrugs, "I know of Haruhi-Kun. He was one of the ones who didn't go to the party last week. The twins and Tamaki went with some girl in a blonde wig but Haruhi-Kun and you guys didn't, right?"
Mori and Honey shared a look of confusion and Haruhi deadpanned, thinking back to her crappy disguise. The only other person ditzy enough to not realize the "girl in the blonde wig" was Haruhi was Sora herself. On cue, Sora runs up to her younger sister and friends, who were standing completely still in awe of the Kawashima sisters' obliviousness.
Kai, though annoyed by Sora's presence, looked at her sister. "Uh... Was Haruhi at the party last week? I only saw a girl in the blonde wig with the host club?"
Sora tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, "Yeah, Haru was there. The girl in the blonde wig was just some stranger, right guys?"
Honey, Mori, and Haruhi focused on collecting shellfish, not wanting to dignify the Sora's totally incorrect statement with a response. Before Kai runs off, she and Sora briefly share the same look of confusion.
[More alike then they'd like to admit]
After a few moments of just collecting the rest of the shellfish, the rest of the club joins them, with Tamaki approaching Haruhi with a crab. "You guys look like you're having fun!" he says. Haruhi nods excitedly, happy because of the large amount of seafood they were going to be served later that night. Seizing this moment of opportunity, Tamaki's eyes sparkle, "Say, Haruhi~ Isn't this crab... Crab-tivating?" Haruhi, distracted by her hunger, laughs.
Sora's nose flares up in disgust, "He's so lame sometimes! Haru, don't laugh!"
Before Haruhi could respond, a centipede crawled from the crab onto Tamaki's hand, much to everyone else's horror.
"Cen-"
"Ti-"
"-PEDE!"
Before Sora could even react properly, all of the girls (plus the twins) were running as fast as they could away from Tamaki. Tamaki started tearing up at the sight of all the guests being terrified of him and Sora laid limp on the hot sand, crushed by the stampede of girls in their fit of terror. Kyoya, who had dodged the stampede just in time, helped his classmate and club member back up. By then, Haruhi had already thrown the centipede into the sea and was gaining praise for 'his' manliness. Sora leaned onto Kyoya's arm, dizzy from getting crushed.
"Hey...whew.. S-Sorry for calling you a... What was it again?"
Kyoya uses his free arm to push up his glasses, "I believe it was a 'asshole' was it not?"
Sora recovers from her dizziness and stands up straight. She giggles, "That doesn't sound like something a proper lady would say."
"Though such language befits a young man such as yourself." He shoots back, his cold tone shooting an arrow in Sora's chest.*
The sound of someone clearing their throat interrupts the two second years banter. They turn to see the twins standing behind them, a glare on Hikaru's face. Hikaru rolls his eyes, "If you two are done-"
"-We just thought of a new game that could be fun!" Kaoru finishes in a much happier tone of voice. Sora snorts, "A game? What kind of game did you two weirdos have in mind?" She asked, skipping up to the brothers
The twins wrap around each other, "We call it: 'Who can find out Haruhi's weakness game!' You in?" They exclaimed in unison. Sora raised an eyebrow, "Uh... No? Why would we play that" Having missed the whole scene of Haruhi throwing the bug, Sora was in the dark over Haruhi's supposed 'lack of a weakness'. Her disapproving tone caused something to snap in the already-cranky Hikaru.
He shrugs, "Maybe if you weren't too busy clinging to Kyoya-senpai you'd know."
What sounded like genuine criticism from Hikaru surprised Sora. Her ears turned red and she felt irritation bubble inside her, "What did you just say? What's your problem?"
Hikaru rolls his eyes "I don't have a problem, I was just saying."
"Why're you acting all weird? That-"
"-game sounds horrible! I agree with you, Sora!" Tamaki interjects, still holding the 'crab-tivating' crab from earlier. Sora shoots Tamaki a strange look but relaxes her shoulders after taking a breath. Hikaru, who was also preparing for an argument, also relaxed at Tamaki's comment. The younger Hitachiin twin glances over at the host club president.
Good job, boss
Kyoya smirks, "Why does it sound so horrible? Just find out what Haruhi is afraid of and win-" He holds up three pictures of Haruhi from middle school, all with her long hair and one while she played volleyball.
"...The perfect prize." He finishes, eyes dark and gloomy with evil energy. Sora sticks her tongue out and fake gags at the sight of each member of those host club ogling over pictures of middle schooler Haruhi. Everyone besides Sora nods in approval and join in on the game. Sora stalked away towards Haruhi, ready to warn the underclassman of the game.
...
...Only to be stopped by the evil vice-president.
"Sora, do you recall when you cut your own bangs in middle-"
"YIKES STOP OKAY!" Sora nearly teleports over to Kyoya and snatches a picture out of his hand, "I WON'T TELL ON YOU GUYS!"
Blushing, she folds the picture of herself and grips it tightly in her hand. Tamaki still flailed around Kyoya trying to get the pictures he had of Haruhi while Kyoya easily dodged him with ease. Honey tilted his head and faced the second year girl, "Hey Sora-chan~, you wanna be on me and Takashi's team?" He cheerfully asked.
Hikaru shot a look over to Sora, who made eye contacted and glared. Both of the huffed and snapped away from each other, with Hikaru marching off with his brother and Sora crossing her arms and turning away from the sight of the Hitachiin twins. Without looking down, Sora nods her head in response to Honey's offer.
"Hey, Hikaru? What's your deal with Sora today?"
[Kaoru Hitachiin: first year, twin, playing therapist]
"Huh? What do you mean?"
[Hikaru Hitachiin: First year, clueless]
The two brothers were gathering material to scare Haruhi in a nearby cave, trying to find out if Haruhi's fear was of the paranormal. They were both attempting to create a ghost-looking puppet throw material they found nearby. Painting the puppet, Kaoru looked up at his older twin brother, "Well... Recently she's been way nicer to us than usual and yet..." He dips his brush into water and swirls it around, "...You were really mean to her."
"I was mean?!" Hikaru scoffs, "No I wasn't! You know was 'mean'? Kyoya-senpai! He invited her little sister without even asking Sora and yet she still forgives him? In fact, she's even way nicer to you than she is to me. If she wants to hold a grudge over something I said, fine, be my guest! But it's dumb to be mad at me and fawn over Kyoya-senpai."
Kaoru thought to himself for a moment. It seemed like Hikaru was just trying to find a way to be in the right.
"Sora isn't the type to seriously hold grudges, you know that better than anyone," Kaoru explained patiently. Hikaru handed Kaoru a piece of cloth to serve as the puppet's lower half. Say what you will about the Hitachiin brothers, but they seriously have a creative talent.
Hikaru started gluing together a hand, "It just... annoyed me, okay? I wasn't actually trying to make her feel bad, or whatever."
Kaoru paused. The younger twin was the more observant of the two, and he could read his brother like a book.
Sora was the first person to directly call the twins out on their game and to prove she was able to tell them apart. That certainly had an impact on the twins— but what made even more of an impact was Sora causing such a disruption in their lives only to move to Korea hours later and disappear for two years.
If anyone is holding a grudge, it's Hikaru.
Not only did Sora essentially drop a major bomb and then ghost them for years, but she rejoins their lives so suddenly by joining their club. It should just make the twins happy, right? Sora's great fun, can tell the two apart, and is fun to mess with. But she makes Hikaru feel... angry.
But... why?
Because the second-year girl impacted the Hitachiin brothers in such a large way, only to not pay them any more attention than she gives to anyone else. At least, that's what Kaoru theorizes. The younger twin admires his senpai for multiple reasons, and he's happy to call her a friend. But Hikaru? Hikaru hasn't really let himself process everything, so he doesn't know how he feels yet
...And that frustrates him
Hikaru sighs, snapping Kaoru out of his thoughts, "I get it-" He holds up the puppet and the mechanical hand, "I'll apologize to her later... Let's just get Haruhi and go to the cave"
Kaoru smiles and nods.
Well... there's still plenty of time to help him. I wonder if Sora-senpai is-
"-MAD! I AM SO FUCKING MAD!"
[Sora Kawashima: Second year, offended]
"I'm sure Hika-chan was just trying to tease you like usual~ He didn't mean it!"
[Mistukuni Haninozuka: Third year, martial artist, playing therapist]
While the twins were leading Haruhi to a cave, the trio of Honey, Mori, and Sora was still on the beach, waiting for Haruhi to be available. In the meantime, Kyoya's police force drove their truck onto the sand to help Honey with his turn. Mori collected a harpoon and paced around while Honey and Sora sat near the sea. Sora brings her knees up to her chest, "He sounded so genuinely annoyed, though!"
Honey smiled, "Once you came back to Japan, Hika-chan has been much more lively! Maybe he just didn't like that you and Kyo-chan have gotten so close~*"
"Huh?" Sora nostrils flare, "Why would that bother him?"
Honey merely smiled and didn't reply, instead focusing his attention onto the approaching-Haruhi. He waved Haruhi over and stood up to get onto the truck, "It's gonna be okay, Sora-chan!"
Sora gave Honey a dubious look for ignoring her question, but soon after just shrugged off her confusion. Sora stood up and walked over to a group of girls. In that group also stood Sora's younger sister Kai, who frowned at the sight of older Kawashima approaching. The three guests, who were all regulars of Haruhi, smiles, and waves at the female hostess.
"Hey, Sora-senpai!" The brunette, Momoka, exclaims "Did you know that your younger sister is best friends with Kimiko's?"
Kimiko Sakurazuka was another regular of Haruhi's, with neck-length light brown hair. She smiles at Sora, "My younger sister Nagisa was telling me all about Kai being a champion swimmer! I didn't know you come from an athletic family."
Kai rolls her eyes, "We don't, we're a family of artists."
Sora was surprised by Kai, who was usually a woman of few words, participating in a conversation she was in, but did not express her shock. Sora smiles, "My oldest brother is now focused on business but he was a violinist, my second oldest brother Minato plays in a band, and my twin brother Shouta is a manga artist. Kai is the only athlete and she's... really talented."
The sisters avoid eye contact while they chat with the other guest for a few moments. Soon, the black-haired guest, Ruri, suggests going up on a hill to catch the sunset at a good angle. The group makes their way towards the cliff, chatting along the way. Ruri skips alongside Sora, "I noticed earlier you left yourself out."
"Huh?"
Ruri holds a finger up, "Your oldest brothers are musicians, Kai-chan an athlete, Shouta an artist... What about you?"
Kai runs up to the top of the cliff and takes a picture of the sun going down, "Sora's a singer." she announces, knowing it's a topic Sora would rather avoid. The three guests gasp excitedly and look back at the now-frowning Sora. Sora shakes her head, "No no no no I'm not." She waves her hands around defensively; a little too defensively
"But sister," Kai smirks, "you're so gifted at singing." She asserts mockingly. Sora shoots a glare at her younger sister for bringing up something so unpleasant for her. Sora opens her mouth to refute Kai's claims again only to be interrupted by the sound of an unknown man's voice.
"Hey— there are chicks up here, man!"
The girls all froze. Eyes widening in the sound of the slurred speech coming from a gruff voice.
"Aren't we lucky~" One of the men tosses a beer can aside, "You girls wanna hang out with a couple of locals?"
Instinctively, Sora steps in front of her younger sister and holds her arms out, hiding Kai behind her. Kai's eyes slightly widen at her older sisters actions, thinking back to what Honey had told her earlier:
"It's a shame you two don't get along. It makes Sora-chan really sad, you know."
Momoka, though scared, does the same thing with the other two girls and steps closer towards the two men, "No thanks!" She says, "This is a private beach, just leave us alone"
The long-haired man eyes Momoka's top and grabs her wrist to draw her closer to him, "Aw come on! We just wanna show you girls a good time!" He says in mock innocence. Sora steps back towards the other girls, "Run around the other dude and go get help!" She whispers to Kai.
Kai frowns but nods her head obediently. Usually, she'd never listen to Sora, but even she knew the bickering between the two sisters will have to wait. Kai grabs the hands of Kimiko and Ruri and runs off, getting the attention of the drunk man in the hoodie.
Sora steps forward and, in a moment of panic, grabs the hand of the man in the hoodie before he could grab the girls, "Don't focus on them, look at me!" The man raises a brow and Sora scoffs, "Like she said, it's a private beach! You need to leave." He chuckles, and wraps a full arm around Sora, his hand brushing across her bikini top.
"Private? Does that mean we're alone?"
Momoka gulped and twisted her wrist out of the long-haired man's grip, running off in a panic, running after the other girls. At the sight of her sister alone with those two men, Kai turns around and runs back.
"Kai-chan! Stop!" Kimiko calls out, stopping the young girl in her tracks "You can't fight those men, we have to get help!"
Kai stopped and turns her head, "B-but... I.." Haruhi, who had now heard the noise and noticed Sora alone on the cliff with the two men, raced up there before Kai could. Kai's hands tremble for a second, but she turns away from the sight of the cliff and rejoins the older girls in search of help.
The long-haired man watched Momoka run away with a humored expression, "How lame~ Oh well, they left the hottest one for us!" He approached Sora and his friend, a gross, flirty expression planted on his face. Sora didn't take any notice, instead watching her sister get farther and farther away. She sighs in relief and finally turns her attention back on the two men, shooting them a furious glare
He smirks and grabs her wrist, "I- OUCH!"
The feeling of a sea urchin touching his bare legs causes him to panic and jump away from Sora. With both him and the man in the hoodie distracted, she manages to shove the man off of her and quickly rushes up to Haruhi's side, taking a defensive stance. Sora once again glances down, spotting Kai down near the shore, safe and by the other girls' side.
One problem down
The long-haired man picked out the sea urchins from his leg and turned his attention back onto the one who threw them. Haruhi stood her ground, "You don't have anything better to do than to harass girls? Why don't you quit bothering us and get out of here!"
...Another one to go
...
"THOSE AREN'T RAT SNAKES! THEY'RE POISONOUS HABU SNAKES!"
The twins frantically ran away from Tamaki, who was holding a bucket of what he thought were rat snakes. Tears welled in Tamaki's eyes as the snake grew more and more hostile in the sand bucket. Tamaki chased the twins and kept asking for help, only for the twins to ignore his pleas and keep running. Both brothers stopped when he saw three girls run towards them in fear.
"Tamaki!" Momoka calls out, crying "It's Sora! These men came up and kept hitting on us and wouldn't leave us alone! I think they're still up there with her!"
The twins' eyes widen and they quickly look at each other. Without a word, both hustle towards the cliff, where they could somewhat see the sight of four figures. Tamaki sets down the bucket, "Thank you-"
"Tamaki! It's Haruhi too!" Kai rushed to meet the others and collapsed onto the sand from exhaustion. The high school girls quickly leaned down to help the middle schooler. Kai quickly recovered, "Haruhi-kun helped my sister and is trying to fight those guys!"
That caused something in Tamaki to snap and he quickly rushes to help, knocking over the bucket of snakes in the process. Kyoya approaches the girls and offers each of them blankets as cover-ups, "Are you all alright?"
The rest of the guests from the beach event surround the girls and offer water and ask questions regarding the situation. Hot, worried about her older sister, feeling guilty, and legs itchy from the sand, the young Kai's lip trembles for a second.
She was tough as nails, honestly, even more so than Sora. Even as a kid she was known for being quiet and serious, having the heart of an athlete and putting all of her emotions and energy into training.
But this? A little too much for the middle school girl right now.
Her brown eyes grow large with tears and she starts sobbing in front of everyone. Her face colors red from both the tears and embarrassment, but the middle school girl can't help but let her emotions out. Momoka and Kimiko attempt to console the girl and dab her face with a cold towel to try and calm her down.
Momoka rubs Kai's back, "It's going to be okay, Kai-chan... They're going to help her."
"Poor Kai-chan... She's so young and innocent... She must be so scared..." One of the other guests whispers.
Kai sniffles, "Th…These stupid FUCKING-"
Everyone flinches
"-IDIOTS! Th...They were busy c-collecting snakes! I hate this stupid ass club I wanna go home!"
Kai's vulgar language mixed with her baby-face mixed with her ugly sobbing put a large amount of confusion and pity into everyone's hearts. Suddenly, Honey comes up to the young girl and pats her head. Kai rubs her eyes and looks up in confusion. Honey smiles, "Kai-chan! Don't worry! Your sister was happy to protect you, and we're happy to protect her!"
Flowers surround the two cute teenagers as the two baby-faced teens talk. Everyone, despite the serious situation surrounding them, coos at the sight of Honey comforting the middle schooler.
Kyoya sighs in irritation, "I'm going to call someone to take Ms. Kawashima home, the rest of you I will have to ask for you to please go back to the hotel and let us sort this situation out."
{Meanwhile}
The long-haired man had Haruhi's shirt gripped in his hands. He backed Haruhi up closer to the edge. Haruhi showed no fear and merely glared at the stranger. At this point, the drunk man in the hoodie realized the tension in the air and had Sora's wrist gripped tightly again. Sora attempted to pull away, "Let me go! And let him go you stupid, drunk, worthless jerks!" She demands, stepping on the man's foot.
He glares at Sora, "Oh no way! He shouldn't have tried to act all tough for a little sissy boy!"
"Hey, I have an idea kid!" The long-haired man shakes Haruhi and pushes her closer to the edge, "Why don't you go take a dip!" He releases the girl and causes her to fall off, "Hope you can swim, loser!"
"HARUHI!" Both Sora and Tamaki scream. The sound of his voice and the sight of Tamaki diving right after Haruhi causes Sora to go limp in relief. She plops down onto her knees, her wrist still in the other man's hand.
The man in the hoodie opens his mouth to say something to the dark-haired girl, but he soon falls down onto the ground. In pain, he releases Sora's wrist. Sora sees one of the twins pile onto him, headbutting him. She sighs in relief once again and rubs her now-bruised wrist.
She looks at the sight of the growling, fighting twin, realizing based on the expression alone that it was Hikaru. The long haired-man gets tackled by Kaoru before he could help his friend, with Kaoru wildly swinging at him. Sora stands up and looks over the edge. Tamaki's head pops up to the surface with a limp Haruhi in arms.
"Thank god!" Sora exclaims, hand on her heart, "If Haru were to die because of you losers I'd have to let the twins kill you!"
Sora walks up to the man who had touched her inappropriately and bruised her wrist, "With that being said-" She stomps on the man's crotch, causing him to yelp in pain, "Fuck this guy up, Hikaru."
Hikaru doesn't reply verbally but starts slamming the man onto the ground over-and-over again in response. Sora makes her way back onto the beach to meet up with the rest. She passes by the casual Kyoya, who she hears from a distance telling the twins to "knock it off" albeit with very little seriousness in his voice. Sora runs towards Honey and Mori, who stood in the center of the beach, scanning the water for a sign of Tamaki and Haruhi.
Seeing Tamaki pop his head and swim closer towards the sand, Honey and Mori turn back towards their second-year club member. Honey leans forward, "You okay, Sora-chan?"
Sora nods and lets her hair loose from the ponytail, "My hair is getting frizzy from all my sweat but-" She smiles and gives Honey a thumbs-up, "other than that I'm peachy!"
Honey skips up to his friend, jumping into her arms in joy. He hugged her tightly and grins, "Yay! Good job Sora-chan! You told the girls to get help and run away and protect your sister when you needed to!"
Sora hugs Honey back, "Thanks senpai I-" She quickly pushes him off, eyes gone wide "Wait, where is my sister?"
"On her way back home."
Kyoya and the twins (who were lacking any bruises despite being in a fistfight minutes ago) joined the rest of the group. Kyoya nods his head toward Sora, "Don't worry, I called your oldest brother and it turns out he was near Okinawa... He arrived to pick her up."
"My oldest brother? As in... Keito?" Kyoya nods and Sora groans, "Greeeeeeeat, now that's going to be another lecture." She pinches the bridge of her nose. She could already hear his voice, her stepmothers voice, her fathers— but that's to be worried about later. She lets go and looks back at the other members, "Thanks, Kyoya. I'm happy she could get home safe/"
Kaoru smiles at the sight of the relieved Sora, "Aren't you going to thank us you devil-dog?" He motions towards Hikaru, "We fought those two jerks for you guys!"
At that, Sora ran up and latched her arms around Kaoru neck. She jokingly nuzzles Kaoru's cheek against hers and then quickly pulls Hikaru into the group hug (much to his embarrassment) and Sora puts one of her arms around Hikaru's shoulder, "After you made that dig at me earlier who would've thought you would fight for my honor, Hikaru~" She teased, referring to Hikaru being the one attacking the man personally interested in her.
He scoffs and turns away, "Kaoru just got to the one I wanted first... Don't flatter yourself."
Sora snorts and releases the twins. She playfully shoves Hikaru, "That's totally not true! You got there first!"
"Tamaki got there first." Hikaru corrected, rolling his eyes "And I really only fought the guy holding you 'cause I saw him first."
"You just said it was because Kaoru got to the other one first."
"And you once said that you brush your hair everyday... Sometimes people lie."
A red vein pops onto the back of Sora's head, "It's because of the heat. But more importantly, when are we going to discuss the fact you look way too scrawny to fight? You're kind of shaped like a razor scooter."
"Haru-chan!"
The sound of Honey's worried voice startles Sora and Hikaru, snapping them out of their playful argument. Tamaki silently approached the group with a limp and pale Haruhi in his arms.
The feeling of being closer to ground roused Haruhi, who slowly opened her eyes back up. Tamaki paused, standing in front of Kyoya "Where are they?" He asked, tone dry and unamused. A cold feeling washed over the group as if the tension had just suddenly risen.
"We took their IDs and respectfully asked them to leave. The girls all went back to the hotel and Sora's younger sister was picked up and taken home." Kyoya explains, "I've called a doctor who should be arriving any minute now."
Tamaki thanks Kyoya and sets the now fully conscious Haruhi down. Haruhi shakes some water from her hair, "I'm fine guys, I don't need a doctor."
Sora wraps a towel around Haruhi's shoulders and draws her into a hug "I'm just glad you're okay! Thank you for-"
"What were you thinking?"
Sora pauses and lets Haruhi go. She turns towards her classmate and club leader in surprise, noticing his unusually cold eyes burning into the back of Haruhi's head. Sora steps back and motions for Haruhi to turn around.
"Did you think you could just save Sora alone? You against two boys?" He asks, tone dripping in disapproval "You're not like Honey-senpai or Mori-senpai you're not some martial arts master." He places his hands onto Haruhi's shoulders, "Why would you go up there? You against two boys?"
Haruhi doesn't stand down, instead of making direct eye contact with Tamaki "It doesn't matter they were boys and I'm a girl! What was I supposed to do, leave her alone? I was there and I had to do something, there's no time to think-"
"That's no excuse, you idiot!" Tamaki shoots back "Don't forget you're a girl!"
Despite truly hating conflict and despite being somewhat intimidated of Tamaki when he's angry, Sora steps forward, ignoring the 'stay-out-of-it' look the rest of the club members were giving her. She places a hand on Haruhi's back, "I think you're being a bit harsh, Tamaki. I kind of did the same thing, you know, when I had the other girls run and leave me alone so my sister can get to safety. In moments like these, you really just follow your instincts..."
Stressed, Tamaki focused his anger onto Sora, "That was stupid of you too! Why was your sister even here!?"
Sora was flabbergasted for a moment before she felt anger and adrenaline fill her chest. She almost laughed in a manic fit of fury, but kept her head as cool as possible "I don't know, Tamaki" she hisses through grinding teeth "I guess letting a middle school girl come here with us was pretty stupid, huh? Good thing it was you and Kyoya's choice to do so, and not mine."
Sora continues, pacing around in anger "But—I'm not mad at you! You shouldn't have let her come, but what's done is done. Haruhi was reckless and probably shouldn't have provoked a dude who clearly had strength on her, but it's not like she did anything malicious! Stop treating Haruhi like some stupid child when you yourself aren't even blameless!"
Haruhi stepped backward closer to Sora, "I'm sorry you had to come to save me, senpai, but I don't understand why you're mad at me! I did nothing wrong!"
Tamaki didn't even look up. His anger and irritation were evident by the dark look the cast over his usually bright and lively eyes, but he kept his composure nonetheless. "Nothing wrong? Fine..." He walked past Haruhi and Sora, brushing past the two like they weren't just talking to him. Sora frowns sadly and Haruhi glares back at the now farther away Tamaki.
He shrugs, "But I'm not speaking to you until you can admit you did wrong."
{Later}
[The Ootori family villa]
Sora sat next to the twins in the large dining room. She had showered and washed her hair thoroughly after bandaging up her wrist, so now her long black hair was once again sleek and loose, and the girl wore an oversized teal shirt as a nightshirt.
The fight between Haruhi and Tamaki hung over everyone like a cloud, the hostility between the two clear as day. Haruhi retreated back to her room immediately and Tamaki hid behind a pillar in the dining hall to sulk.
Although Tamaki and Sora had also technically got into it, the two quickly forgave each other once it became clear to both of them that they weren't even truly mad at each other.
Tamaki acknowledges that Sora was just protecting Haruhi because Haruhi had protected Sora.
And Sora realizes that Tamaki was just worried and was trying to tell Haruhi it's okay to ask others for help when you're overpowered. He's just, ironically, terrible with words.
...
Still...
"Boss!" Sora angrily shouts, "You gotta stop! You're making this room even gloomier."
Hikaru nodded in agreement, "You shouldn't have picked a fight with her in the first place."
On cue, Haruhi walked into the room wearing a pink nightgown. The twins and Honey both ran over to ogle and praise Haruhi for such a cute pajama dress and Sora laughed, both at Haruhi's cute appearance and at the sight of Tamaki hiding behind the pillar with admiration in his eyes. Sora and Kyoya set the table up for eating as the group continued praising, Before Sora could call anyone over, Kyoya tapped her shoulder.
"A word?"
Sora raises an eyebrow, "Uh... Sure?"
The two step a little farther away. Kyoya clears his throat, "I just wanted to say... Letting your younger sister come on this trip was... A major miscalculation on our part."
Sora's nostrils flare in shock at Kyoya words, causing a red vein to pop on him in irritation at the sight of her snarl. Sora snorts and shakes off her shock, "You... making a mistake?"
He pushes his glasses up, "She was too young to be here and we didn't take enough precautions to keep such a young student safe... Perhaps... We should've asked you before allowing her to come. A simple miscalculation, that's all."
Sora smiles and gently taps her fist against Kyoya's arm, "Apology accepted, Kyoya."
Kyoya allows himself a small smile before clearing his throat and calling everyone over to eat. Sora's heart feels warm from happiness. Someone as prideful and perfect as Kyoya apologizing? It makes Sora feel respected. After that exchange, she finds herself excited to eat dinner with such a lovely group of friends.
Tik...
Tok...
...Tik...
Tok...
"...Well.. this is uncomfortable."
Hikaru's voice breaking the silence did little to alleviate some of the awkward tension in the room. The sound of the ticking grandfather clock almost mocked the teenagers by being so loud, drawing even more attention to the lack of conversation. Kaoru looks at his brother, "Yeah... Kind of awkward." He agrees. Sora sat next to Kyoya and watches him scribble aimlessly on paper, trying to appear as if he was busy and not completely weirded out by the silence as well.
Sora eyes Haruhi from across the table. Haruhi, seemingly unbothered, waits patiently for a signal to start eating as Tamaki awkwardly avoids making any sort of eye contact with anyone. Everyone besides those two has the same thought in unison:
Why are they even sitting next to each other?!
Honey coughs and gives Haruhi a nervous smile, "Well... Let's dig in, Haru-chan!" Haruhi quickly and quite literally digs in, immediately downing three crab legs before even looking up.
"Aaaah... So... Hikaru and Kaoru!" Sora panics and tries to strike up any sort of regular conversation, "My dad was telling me about how your mom is designing the costumes and set for the newest Orange Black* music video!"
Snap
Kaoru looks upwards, "Oh yeah... I forgot about that. They're apart of your family's entertainment company, aren't they?"
Snap
Sora's eye twitches from the sound of the crab legs being broken, annoyed by the rise Haruhi was getting out of Tamaki by just eating, "Y-yeah... So hopefully after the music video is shot I can score us all free tickets since my dad will be willing to pull favors for your family."
"You like K-pop, Sora-chan?" Honey asks. The boy lolita knows that Sora is trying to just fill the room with more noise than the sound of Haruhi eating, and he appreciates it more than he could even say.
Snap
Sora chuckles, "Well, I'm kind of forced to since-*"
Snap Snap Snap
Tamaki gives in, overwhelmed by the large quantity of crab Haruhi is eating "Don't you think you've had enough? Give it a rest!"
Snap
"I'm sorry...? I thought you weren't speaking to me?"
Snap
At that, Sora buries her face in her hands in disappointment and second-hand embarrassment. She drops the conversation and allows herself to ignore Tamaki getting up to retreat to his room. She feels Kyoya, who was previously next to her, stand up and leave with the irritated Tamaki.
Sora sighs and listens to about three more crab legs being broken. Haruhi picks up one more, but her hands tremble as she attempts to break it. Sora hears the crab leg go back down onto the glass plate and looks up to see Haruhi looking downwards with sad eyes.
"Maybe he's right...? Maybe I do need to learn how to protect myself?"
Sora shoots straight up, almost launching herself completely over the table "HUH? You did ALL that just to let him get to you?" She asks in shock. The large number of crab legs that were on Haruhi's plate made Sora's stomach twist. Haruhi flinches, which causes Sora to quickly calm herself down.
Sora hops over and takes the seat previously used by Tamaki and places an arm around Haruhi, "Uh, sorry. I mean... It's okay, Haru!"
The twins placed their chins in their hands and gave Haruhi a blank stare. Hikaru frowned, "I mean it wouldn't kill you to learn martial arts or something..."
"-But it's not like we want to force you to learn it..." Kaoru continues
"But that's not really the problem here." They finish in unison. Sora nods her head in agreement and lets Haruhi go. She gives her younger friend a gentle smile, "The problem isn't that you don't know karate, it's that you acted so recklessly."
Haruhi tilts her head, "What do you mean? I didn't cause you guys any extra trouble or anything..." The twins smile tiredly and shrug, humored by Haruhi's lack of understanding.
Honey taps Haruhi on the arm, "That's not true, Haru-chan.. I think you should apologize... 'Kay~"
Haruhi's eyes widen and her mouth hung slightly open but the honor student doesn't say a word. Honey went on, "We were all worried... And you should especially apologize to Tama-chan, he was the most worried."
Sora places a hand on Haruhi's shoulder, "I'm grateful that you charged into action when you saw me in trouble, but you should've never went into a fight you had no chance of winning like that. I was worried about your well-being when I saw that man grab you and when the boys were too when they saw you fall."
"You all were worried about me?" Haruhi whispers, "But...why?"
Honey and Sora sigh and sweat-drop at Haruhi's confusion, but neither speak up. The twins lean over and give Haruhi a blank stare, "You're hopeless~" They mumble teasingly in unison. Haruhi, though confused, feels guilty that she had made everyone feel so concerned by her behavior. Her eyes go downwards and she frowns, "Guys... I-I'm really sorry..."
The boys all jump up and hug her while Sora and Mori watch on. Mori continued to casually eat his crab and Sora simply just watch as the twins and Honey cuddle and forgive Haruhi. Sora laughs, "Haru you're so cute- PALE!" Sora's heart drops, "W-why have you gotten so pale?"
The twins stop their nuzzling and look at now-sickly Haruhi, "...Is something wrong?"
"I don't feel so good!"
Sora nearly gags at the sight of the sick Haruhi and watched tiredly as everyone carries her off to the nearest washroom. Hopefully, Haruhi will now know that she can't act so recklessly and she can't eat twenty-six crab legs in one sitting. Lessons have been learned.
After the guys carried Haruhi off to the bathroom, Sora had retreated into her room after saying goodnight. Haruhi stayed in the bathroom they placed her in to clean up, Kyoya was in his room, and Tamaki had stayed in his room since the whole dinner fiasco. The rest of the guys cleaned up the table and talked amongst themselves, relieved that all the drama seemed to be working itself out. The twins were taking the plates back when suddenly,
"Oh, Sora left her phone charm on the table."
Hikaru held up a small chain that had a green star on it. Sora had the chain stuck to the side of her phone case but had accidentally knocked it off when hopping over the table earlier. Kaoru pauses for a moment, but then gives Hikaru a half-hearted smirk, "You should go take it to her."
"Nah." Hikaru shakes his head and places the charm in his pocket, "I'll give it to her tomorrow."
Kaoru takes the plates Hikaru was carrying, "C'mon, Hikaru" Hikaru frowns at the sound of Kaoru's desperate tone, "You still have to apologize to her, remember?"
His tone alone was enough to make the older twin agree. With a huff of his breath, Hikaru makes his way down the hallway towards Sora's room. Once he was gone, Honey folded the table cloth and turned towards the younged Hitachiin twin, "You wanted Hika-chan and Sora-chan to be alone, huh?" The oldest member points out. Kaoru gives Honey a small smile and nods.
"Hikaru is sensitive and clumsy" Kaoru explains casually. He sets the dishes to their rightful places and walks back towards Honey, "And Sora is defensive and irritable. They could be good friends if they both just tried a little more instead of settling on what's comfortable."
Honey tilts his head, "Comfortable? What do you mean, Kao-chan?"
Kaoru places a finger on his chin, "Well... I feel like they can really bring out the best in each other but.. Have you noticed that it's been a couple months now and we still don't know a lot about Sora?"
Kaoru starts counting off in his finger, "We know she has a lot of siblings but anything deeper than that is off-limits, we know she likes waterparks and going on trips but we don't really know any of her hobbies... It's like she's hiding parts of herself."
Honey thinks for a moment. Sora is a very nice girl, and she seems to care a lot for the people around her. She gets comfortable with people very quickly and has no trouble going on trips and being affectionate with a group she's only been with for months.
But... He sees Kaoru's point. Sora is clearly afraid of the club knowing so much about her.
"But why does Hika-chan not like that?"
Kaoru shrugs, "Sora's the first person to tell us apart. To us, that's more personal than you can imagine. So I guess it just stresses him out that she seems to not view us the same as we view her... And honestly, Sora probably doesn't"
"And you think they can get over that?"
"...We'll see."
[Missed Calls (4) From: Keito]
[Keito]
Message: She's okay but what were you thinking allowing Kai to accompany you on a trip with high school boys? Father will hear about this
Message: For once, use your head.
At that, Sora closed her messenger app and tossed her phone somewhere in the dark. Thunder was starting to rumble in the distance, almost completely matching her piss-poor mood. Unfortunately for her, Keito Kawashima was the one who picked Kai up from the beach. Keito was the oldest Kawashima sibling at the age of 25 and was by far the sibling who criticized his own family most openly.
Unluckily for Sora, Keito and Kai were very close and he took Kai's side for everything. It didn't matter that Sora had no idea Kai was invited, or that Kai came just to spite Sora: it was all Sora's fault. The ravenette sighs, ignoring her annoyance and trying to just be grateful her sister came out unharmed.
Her phone buzzed again, causing a red vein to pop on Sora's head in anger. She scrambles and follows the light from her phone screen and grips the phone in her hand.
[Hikaru Hitachiin]
Message: I was going to come in your room but I keep hearing strange buzzing noises so honestly now I'm afraid to.
Message: You having another lonely night?
Sora holds back a snort and finds herself jumping up to swing open the door. Hikaru was leaned back on the wall and smirking, holding his phone in his hand. He shrugs, "You done now?" He teases, tossing the phone charm to Sora.
She catches it without any trouble and laughs, holding her middle finger up "Shut up! My oldest brother keeps texting me to yell at me..." Her phone buzzed again and Sora sighed. She holds it up for Hikaru to see. "See?"
[Keito]
Message: My mother will hear about this situation
Hikaru makes a face, "His mother?"
"My step-mother," Sora explains. She walks back into her room and sits down onto her bed. Hesitantly, Hikaru makes his way into the room too, slowly closing the door behind him. Sora leans back, "The wicked witch of the west, really. Usually she just ignores me the most out of my dads love children, but I have a feeling I'm in for it when I get home."
Hikaru is at a complete loss on what to say or do. Sora's opening up to him on such a weird day was truly the cherry on top. Sora also found herself confused about why she was even discussing her step-mother to Hikaru, but quickly dismissed it as poor timing. Usually, she'd call her older brother Minato to vent or would chat up Haruhi as a distraction or even just go on a run but... Hikaru is actually here with her. He coughs, "Love children?"
Sora lets out a weak laugh, "Come on... You don't have to pretend like you don't know that me and almost all my siblings are illegitimate. It's okay."
"Well you don't talk about it" Hikaru replies, ears turning red from being caught playing stupid.
"Does Tamaki?" Sora quickly refutes. Hikaru doesn't say anything in response and Sora just smiles.
"It's not like that-" Hikaru pauses, "-well not really... It's just... You shouldn't be afraid to talk to any of us you loser."
Silence fills the room for a moment as the two listen to the storm get worse. Hikaru lets out a sigh and frowns "And...I'm sorry for saying you were being clingy to Kyoya-senpai."
Sora's eyes go wide for a moment before she lets out a snort, "Dude I completely forgot about that! It's okay, I shouldn't have taken it so personally. It was such a meaningless part of our day in the long-run, huh?" Before the topic of their argument could overtake the conversation, Sora quickly changes the subject "Did you guys ever find out what Haruhi is afraid of."
Occasionally, the light from the thunder would shine on Sora's face. Hikaru stared at his older club member blankly and, distracted didn't respond to her question regarding the 'game' that was oh-so-important hours ago. Sora takes his silence as a no and laughs, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "That's okay... Haru is a strong girl so it'll probably take a real hero to find out her fear. I'm kinda jealous! I'm afraid of snakes and rodents and I have emetophobia while Haruhi is fearless and-"
"Wait wait wait" Hikaru interrupts, Sora's rambling snapping him out of his thoughts "Emetophobia...The fear of vomit?"
His humored tone annoyed Sora. She scoffs, "Fuck you, throwing up is nasty! And watching Haruhi down those crab legs almost made me want to die because I knew she was going to throw up." Shivers travel down Sora's spine at the mere thought.
Hikaru stands up laughing, hunching over, "Oh man! Now I really have blackmail material over you!"
Sora blushes and throws a pillow at Hikaru, "Shut up! You tell anyone about this and I'll shave your head!" She hops off her bed and starts pushing Hikaru towards the door. She swings it open and shoves him out, "Goodnight you gremlin." She murmurs angrily, shooting him a nasty look before slamming her door shut. Hikaru stands outside the room smiling. He stays for a few seconds and then leaves to go find his brother. On the other side, Sora laid flat back down on her bed, filled with more energy than she previously had.
The second-year girl couldn't help but smile.
Hikaru sure was funny, huh?
...thump...
She hadn't realized their argument from earlier bothered him that much. He didn't have to apologize but he did anyways?
..thump...
He was... nice for Sora to talk to
...thump...
Her thoughts wandered aimlessly for a moment... She wanted to thank Hikaru for fighting that guy earlier, she wanted to talk to him about her siblings, she wanted to ask about the ghost puppet he and Kaoru built earlier, she-
She shoots up, eyes wide. She blinks multiple times in shock
Why is my heart beating so fast? Holy shit
Hikaru and you are finally friends let's not overthink anything, Sora.
She lays back down and ignores her thoughts and heartbeat. Anything from tonight is officially going in the "To-be-discussed" box for later. Right now, she just wants to sleep.
{Next morning}
"You better watch your back, Haruhi~"
"...I never would've pegged the boss for an S&M pervert."
Tamaki nearly shot lasers in his eyes from his anger. He stomped his foot, "I told you it wasn't like that at all!"
Sora, sitting next to Haruhi in the car, nuzzling her cheek against the honor student's "My poor Haru! You didn't even consent to Tamaki's nasty little S&M play, did you?"
"Now that I know what 'S&M' is... I can't believe I almost let you get away with it."
Haruhi slowly rolled up the window as Tamaki gaped at her. Sora went into a fit of laughter and ignored Tamaki's protests. Kyoya holds back a smile and tells the driver to pull off. Tamaki, snapping out of his defensive speech, jumped up and chased after the car.
"HEY! DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT MEEEEE!"
-Chapter End-
Chapter notes:
*Since they are in the same class, club, and their families do business together, it is natural that Sora and Kyoya have grown closer as friends. Kyoya thinks Sora is stupid and pokes fun at her
*Honey is saying that Hikaru probably doesn't like Kyoya and Sora play fighting since that's 'their' thing
*Orange Black is this universe's BlackPink
*Sora is "forced to" like kpop because her dad runs an entertainment agency and she lived in Korea
