The girls gathered in the bedroom, making a circle like usual… for Eve, at least. She was checking the date, realizing a special day was getting closer. "It'll be Valentine's day tomorrow. Do you guys want to make chocolates?"

"Of course! I'll make chocolates for everyone!" Ara smiled, feeling relaxed in the timeline. She would love to spend Valentine's day in her timeline, but they never celebrated the day due to how high the crime rate was. She already grabbed Rena into her long talk of chocolates she wanted to make, even browsing on her phone for references.

The other girls were discussing the chocolates they wanted to make. Aisha and Elesis, as a couple, were flirting with each other about their day in the kitchen tomorrow. Laby was only excited about eating it, telling all her ideas to Rose, who had to keep her in track of reality that not all chocolates could be edible like in the cartoons.

"What's so special about this day? Why do we eat chocolates?" Lu asked, feeling confused upon the girls' excitement over Valentine's day. Unfortunately, in her timeline, Valentine's day didn't exist. Which meant that Ciel and Chung wouldn't know about this either.

"How troublesome would it be if everyone went into the kitchen? O-Oh… I can't imagine Add making chocolates… It would be a disaster," Rena frowned, thinking about how cramped it would be if the whole gang went into one kitchen. It didn't even matter if their house was big.

"But that's the fun part! I can't wait!" Ara giggled and imagined herself making chocolates with everyone. It would be chaotic, but it sounded fun.

"Well… You're right! Let's make it spicier!" Rena shouted as she picked up a lilac potion and opened it.

Telekinesis Potion: It's time to move objects without touching it. A fun mind game! People said it can also affect someone else's mind. I wonder if it's true.

A few people already woke up early. Ciel prepared breakfast for everyone, since some of them were going to work soon. "Ciel, have you ever heard of Valentine's day?" Lu asked. The information was new to her, so she wondered if the boys were talking about it or not. Unfortunately, Ciel never heard of it either.

"Really? I think it's a boring lovey dovey day, but people enjoy it for some reason," Ain commented. But then he smiled, looking at the clueless members. "Which is why we can't skip work! Where's Ara, though?"

Chung and Ain walked toward the girls' bedroom, standing in front of the door. Both of them were hesitating to knock. They would wake up everyone. "Maybe just leave her? We can't just open it," Chung said, wishing that he could magically open the door.

Click!

The door was unlocked and opened by itself. "Wow, that's amazing! Now step in," Ain smiled and gestured his hand to let Chung take a step forward into the girls' room.

"W-Wait, I didn't do that–" Chung said before the door slammed closed by itself. It locked itself with another 'click' sound. "I didn't do that either!"

"What kind of magic tricks are you guys doing now?" Raven asked as he raised his one eyebrow.

Lu glanced at them with a confused look. She was sure she locked the door after she went out. She even had her own key on the table. There were 3 keys, and 2 others were inside.

Chung was still so confused with what just happened. In his timeline, it would be a work of a ghost or a demon. He was sure they sent the spirit back to its realm while using the Ouija board. All he did was think about unlocking the door without keys.

Click!

"You know what? I'll just go to work," Chung shrugged as he walked away. Ain was just walking and clapping his hands, following Chung to the cafe.

After everyone woke up, Eve announced their plan to make chocolates together for Valentine's day. She also told them that they could also do whatever they wanted. It wasn't a mandatory task anyway. Ciel already bought ingredients for them to work on and told them about the potion effect they were having.

Some people work on their chocolates already. Aisha and Elesis, as a couple, were making their chocolates together. Rena and Ara also worked to make their chocolates–at least–edible for everyone.

"Where's Lu? Actually, we're missing a few people here," Eve said as she looked at everyone presented in the house. Stuffs were magically moving by itself in the kitchen like there were ghosts.

"Lu is taking Ara's place with Chung and Ain. Raven went to work," Ciel informed her of what happened during the early morning.

Elsword smacked Add's head with a random object he could see through telekinesis. "Stop staring at her!" He yelled and hugged Eve tightly into her arms, making Eve's system overheat as a sign of fluster.

"What?! I'm sure Mad Paradox does this too! Isn't this normal?" Add yelled back and rubbed his head. Elsword kept glaring at him, so he eventually looked away from Eve.

As the kitchen became crowded, some people stayed in the living room instead. "It doesn't have to be Valentine's day to give something special. It's whatever," Add shrugged it off, reading the newspaper they got. As an investigator, it was important to gain more information. The timeline was quite peaceful, but there had to be crimes happening somewhere.

"It's only special when we spend the day with someone we love. I wonder what my boyfriend is doing," Rose smiled sadly as she checked her phone. She couldn't send any message to Chung in her real timeline, even though the connection was available. All she could do was scrolling up their chat together.

"It's still a strange concept for me. Is it supposed to be a holiday like Harmony Festival?" Ciel asked with a confused look.

"No, it's just a special day! Free chocolates!" Laby shouted with a smile and raised her hands. She was excited to eat the chocolate, since they could smell it already. She was imagining herself in the chocolate realm where she could eat chocolate all day.

Ciel noticed some of the chocolates they were making were floating toward Laby's direction. However he decided to look away and pretend nothing happened.

The kitchen was slowly becoming a chaos. "I just need to pour them into these molds, right? Why do they look bad?" Ara asked to make sure she was doing it right. She even stared at them intensely to move them in the mold to make it perfect.

"I think you're doing fine!" Rena smiled, who was also struggling to put the chocolate into the mold. It was way harder than she thought, she started wondering if she's just bad at it.

Noah smirked and put a small chili into one of the chocolates. "Mhm, it'll turn out fine!"

Aisha and Elesis were checking out the others. They're already finished and currently freezing it in the fridge. "Ooh, you guys are doing great!" Elesis commented as she looked at the chocolates. Ara just forced herself to laugh, feeling like she didn't do well enough.

Meanwhile Elsword and Eve were busy with themselves. They were trying to make a cat chocolate statue like people did on the internet. Except they weren't professionals and kept failing at it.

"It's alright! We got this," Elsword grinned, trying to turn the chocolate into a cat's tail shape. So far they got to make the head and the body, but not the legs and tail.

"I feel like we're just playing with food," Eve sighed and looked at the failed creation. She was wondering if she could turn them into something else to not let it go wasted. They even had the telekinesis ability, so it shouldn't be difficult… in theory.

"Welcome, master!"

Ciel's face flushed upon seeing Lu in her maid outfit. It was one of his dreams to see her wear one. Her master looked… fantastic. "Impressed?" Lu made a smug on her face, staring into Ciel's eyes. "We're still full. Do you mind waiting for a bit? Also don't telekinesis here or we might scare the customers."

After a few customers, they finally got an empty seat. Lu handed the menu and bowed down before she went back to the entrance. Why was the cafe so crowded anyway?

Rose looked around the place. She found Ain, who was currently serving a female customer, as if he was her company. "He's enjoying this," she commented, feeling confused on what's wrong with people in this timeline. "You guys done? Let's order."

Chung, with his maid uniform, came to them to take their orders. Ciel couldn't hold back anymore and bursted out laughing. He was so used to seeing Chung in his armor. Even worse, he never expected Chung to actually do his job.

"Hmhm~! What's wrong, master? You can grab, just for you," Chung smirked, lifting up his skirt a bit to show his thighs.

"Wait, why are you here? We haven't called you yet," Add asked about the other thing that bothered him other than Chung's appearance.

"You did, though? I can hear you," Chung replied with a confused look, taking out his note and pen.

"But it's just "let's order". Laby haven't raised Laby's hand!" Laby smiled and raised her hand, making a simple gesture to call the waiter.

Chung raised one eyebrow, feeling like he owed an explanation. "I have better hearing with the help of magic flow around me. I can't hear that well beneath my armor, you know. Does that make sense?"

"M-Magic flow?" Rose forced herself to smile, thinking about her boyfriend. "Well… I guess? My boyfriend can't do that, though."

After they took the orders and waited for a bit, Ain came to them to serve. All the menus they ordered were decorated for Valentine's day. "Happy Valentine's day~! I will offer a free hug and a kiss if needed. Or a short date!" Ain grinned and made a heart shape with his fingers.

"Hug! Laby wants a hug!" Laby smiled and got off from her seat, raising her hands and opening her arms. Ain knelt down, hugging Laby tightly and patted her back.

Rose giggled at them. "I wish I had my boyfriend here. I wonder what he would give to me today."

A certain couple was spending their day eating chocolate leftovers in the backyard. There was nothing much to see aside from the pool and empty field outside the house. The hot wind wasn't really nice either. "Why don't we go in? This weather isn't good for you," Eve said, looking at her boyfriend staring at the empty environment in the distance.

"No, not yet," Elsword said without looking at her. Eve was starting to get concerned with how odd he was behaving after they made their chocolate.

A blue sword flew toward their direction at high speed. Eve prepared herself, but Elsword caught the sword by its handle easily like he predicted it. "So it is possible! I saw a tribe over there, so I was wondering if I could get their stuff at least one. Telekinesis is amazing!"

"A-Are you serious?!" Eve shouted at her boyfriend, who was currently showing off the sword proudly. "Does this even count as stealing?"

"Hm… Maybe? I'll give it back to them tomorrow," Elsword smiled and put away the sword.

Eve smiled back at him. "Why don't we go somewhere until the others come back?"

Everyone came back to the house in the evening. They were gathering in the dining room to share the chocolates they made. Some of them were for specific people and still kept in a box.

The most noticeable one was the cat chocolate. Elsword and Eve presented it with pride, even though the shape wasn't even that good. Before they ate it, Elesis asked for permission to take a photo of it first. It was for the social media content post, since she believed it would be one of the relevant content for the day. The taste was fine and nothing special.

"We made something for you guys too!" Elesis and Aisha showed a lot of choco balls from the box they were keeping. It was decorated with colorful sprinkles on top of it. There was a ball shaped cake with chocolate filling inside.

A lot of heart shaped chocolates were already on the plates. "That's from us! Rena, Noah, and me!" Ara smiled, hoping that the chocolates would taste at least edible. It definitely tasted normal, until someone was coughing.

"Who put chili on this?!" Add yelled as his Dynamo sparked. Everyone just laughed at him for getting unlucky.

"Who, me? I didn't do it," Noah shrugged and looked away from everyone.

"Yeah, sure, you always say that every time you make a mistake," Rena forced herself to smile and poked Noah's cheek.

Zap!

"Ow! Come on, it's not that bad!" Noah pouted at Add, rubbing his arm that was electrocuted by Add's Dynamo. He stared at the Dynamo and smacked it into Add's head. "There, take it back!"

Laby giggled while picking up chocolates one by one with her mind to her mouth. "Everyone is happy!"

They ate too much chocolate, and some of them started hating it. Some couples were still going out to have their Valentine's day alone. The girls and boys went to their rooms because they had nothing else to do.

"Tadaa! I have a special one for you. No chili, trust me," Noah said with a smile and gave a chocolate box to Rena before she went to the girls' room.

The elf got flustered, her face turned red and her heart was racing. "R-Really? Thank you," she smiled, taking out a chocolate box of her own. "I made something for you too."

Noah's eyes widened in surprise as he felt his face getting hotter. He knew he got friendzoned too hard for the past year, so he didn't expect anything in return. He grabbed the box, he couldn't hold his smile anymore. "Thank you! I love you more every day!"

"Aw, I love you too," Rena grinned.

For some reason Noah couldn't tell, he felt like that one "I love you" from her was different tonight. He opened the box, looking at the star shaped chocolates that were made way better than the heart shaped chocolates they made for everyone. "Come on, give it a taste! That one was a different recipe," Rena said and waited for Noah to eat it.

Noah took one piece of the star chocolates. It wasn't sweet; it was bitter dark chocolate, which was his favorite. "W-Well? Do you like it?" Rena asked, getting nervous of how the taste would be. She didn't taste it beforehand. Was it too bitter?

Noah leaned his face closer to Rena, grabbing her cheeks and kissing her on the lips. Rena was surprised with this, but she didn't reject it. She tasted the bitter chocolate, which was something that she disliked, but Noah's soft lips made everything so sweet.

They moved away, still smiling at each other. "I love it. Best chocolate in my life," Noah smiled as he touched his own lips. Why did he do that? He regretted it a lot. What if Rena was still seeing him as a friend? Maybe it was about time he used his pendant again to restart time.

"Hm? How's yours, then?" Rena opened the box, revealing peppermint chocolates. She took a bite, and this time, she was the one leaning for a kiss. This would be the only sweet chocolate Noah enjoyed a lot.

Rena giggled, feeling like she would overheat while the night time was chilly. "It's perfect. Should we try it with Ciel's cooking next time?"

"No. I'll cook for you," Noah pouted. "I'll learn something!"

Chung called Rose to the backyard, which was something really weird. They weren't even from the same timeline. Did she offend him in any way while they were in the cafe? Or was it the other way around? Rose shook her random thoughts away and walked to the backyard.

"I can't make chocolate, sorry," Chung apologized before handing a heart shaped box to Rose. "Happy Valentine's day!"

"O-Oh… Thanks," Rose smiled back with confusion and accepted the box. That was out of nowhere.

Chung's reason was simple: he heard Rose wondering about what gift she would get for today from her boyfriend, which was Comet Crusader. But because of the time potion, everyone was scattered between 4 timelines. "I'm sure my other self would give something for you today. Sorry if I creeped you out."

"Is that so?" Rose giggled and held the box tightly in her hands. "You guys are weird in your own ways, huh? Thank you, Chung. I appreciate it."

"W-Weird?! Really?!" Chung pouted and stared at Rose, who was currently laughing at him. "Well, we don't have Valentine's day. I'm not sure if it even works this way, but it seems important for everyone. I'm trying!"

"Teach me how to cook."

"Huh?"

Ciel was so confused with Noah's sudden question. "What–Why? What makes you want to cook all of a sudden?"

"For Rena," Noah answered with a smile, his face flushed red for a bit as he remembered the kiss.

"Congrats! You're doing it!" Add also smiled and patted Noah's back. It made him happy when his friend's effort finally paid off.

"Damn, aren't you a quick one? You were friendzoned 24 hours ago," Ciel sighed and looked at Raven, who didn't show any interest in anything. "Noah is ahead of you! Do something!"

"Oh, come on, don't rush him. What if he's gay?" Ain asked with a serious look.

And got a smack on the head by Raven. "Don't make rumors now."

"Anyway, why were you staring at Eve today?" Ciel asked in curiosity, looking at Add who didn't seem bothered with his behavior this morning.

Add refused to elaborate, which made them even more curious than before. What was it that made Add acted like a creep like how most Add used to be on their first appearance in El Gang? Noah dragged Add to the corner and wrapped his hand around Add's shoulder. "Come on, tell me. What's the fun part?"

Since Noah was from the same timeline as Add, he felt more comfortable telling it. "Fine, just between us two. I'll trust you," Add said, making a fist bump with Noah as a sign of a promise. "I managed to get my hand on Eve's core with telekinesis."

"Is that good? What did you discover?" Noah asked. He's completely clueless of how important Eve's core was to be away from Add.

"Eve's data. Our Eve, Code: Antithese," Add smirked, her eyes glowed a bit in excitement.

"For real? Tell me more next time, I'll come over to your house," Noah smiled back, feeling like he could finally troll his boss. He might get punished, but he'd think of the consequences later.
