"Where are you going? Both of you are already leaving?" Khairo asked us. We stopped the moment of leaving the house. We didn't notice them in the kitchen! Damn it!
I awkwardly laughed and forced myself to turn to them. They are eating their breakfast now.
"We still have to do something in our apartment so.. we are leaving now already. By the way, goodmorning," I still greeted and I smiled at them. Leomont cleared his throat before he pointed using his forefinger the food that was on the table. I shook my hands saying that we are still full but my freaking stomach suddenly growled! I shut my eyes when I heard them chuckled.
"That was embarassing, Zaiah.." Ruki teased me. I nudge her side with my elbow. She laughed before pulling me towards the table. This girl really have no shame at all. Tobi pulled a chairs for us. We thanked him before starting to eat breakfast. I am avoiding my gaze from them because I can still feel embarassment on them.
There are bacons, milk, cup noodles and loaf bread in front of us. I just decided to eat fried rice with bacon but I stiffened when Leomont gently put rice on my plate and he put three bacons too! I blinked twice and cleared my throat before I thanked him, he just nodded and smiled at me. The atmosphere became awkward because they saw what Leomont did! I felt someone kicked my legs under the table. And it was Ruki who has this teasingly look again! I simply glared at her before getting a bread and put it inside her mouth.
"Taberu dake," (Just eat) I said and let out a faked smile at Ruki. She giggled before she take a bite on the bread.
"Kirei," (cute) I almost choked my food when Tobi complimented Ruki. I looked at them and had my suspicious look.
"Something's fishy here, huh?" I said an nudge Ruki again with my elbow. Tobi's eyes rolled.
"Japanese hūhu," (Japanese couple) I then giggled before I continued to eat.
"Thanks for the breakfast guys," I said. Ruki did thanked them all too.
"Do itashi mashte," (You're welcome) Leomont replied to me. We nodded.
"Are you sure you don't want us to drive you home?" he added. I immediately shook my head before waving my hands at them.
"Sayonara!" Ruki said before we turned our back against them and started to walked away. I let out a long and loud sigh before I fixed the strap of my shoulder bag.
I was studying Japanese in the double-deck when Ruki emerged from the room. She sat beside me and heavily sighed so I turned to her and my brows furrowed.
"What's with the loud sigh?" I asked her as I flipped the page of the book I am reading.
I lie down on the bed and covered my face with the book. It was really hard studying their language! It's so complicated.
"I think I'm in love, Zaiah! I think I'm in love!" I quickly raised from the bed and faced her. My eyes widened.
"What?!" I exclaimed.
"I think I'm in love," she repeated and I saw how her cheeks blushed. My eyes narrowed at her.
"With who?" I asked even if I already have a clue who it was.
Her cheeks blushed more. "Tobi," I shrieked and jumped and jumped on the bed. I threw a pillow at her.
"Ouch, Zaiah!" I shook her shoulders and grinned happily.
"I knew it! I knew it!" I screamed.
"Hush, Zaiah! Someone might hear you," she told me and I sat again.
"But.. is it still too early for you to felt in love with someone?" I asked her curiously but she just shrugged her shoulders.
"We just met him last night!" I exclaimed. She rolled her eyes on me.
Really? He just met that Tobi last night! And yet she was already in love with him? That's b-llshit.
"I don't know," Ruki replied. I tsked before I giggled.
"But I will still support you no matter what happen! Oh my god!" I shrieked again.
It was already six p.m in the evening and we are already here at the bar. I am now wearing a long sleeves mini skirt again paired with a black stilletos, but this time, I already wear a stockings for my legs. I then tied my hair in a messy bun and only put a light make-up on my face.
"You're next, Alexa, Ruki," Yamamoto informed us. We both nodded our head. I don't know why my heart beats fast right now. I am not even efeeling nervous back then but why now?
When the performer was already finished, we then stepped up on the stage. Ruki fixed her guitar again and strummed it a bit. I tapped the mic and it's now working. I smiled before I greeted the audience on the front. They all cheered on us. I chuckled.
I told them the song that I was going to sing tonight. They are already used that I always chose to sing english songs and not japanese. They still love it anyway.
I felt sleepy after our performance. I stretched out my arms in the air. Then I massaged the bridge of my nose but got distracted when I noticed Ruki like she was waiting for someone. I poked her shoulder, she turned to me. I stepped back when she suddenly clapped both of her hands and pointed on something. I followed where it is and my eyes widened when I saw Leomont with his friends again. I scoffed and my shoulders lowered down.
"Ruki don't tell me we are going to hang out with them tonight! I am already tired!" I ranted at her but she didn't even bother to take a glance at me. In fact, she even advanced a step towards their group. I rolled my eyes and held my forehead when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned to see who was it and a smile automatically flashed in my face when I saw Kian behind me, smiling at me either. I saw him glanced at Leomont's.
"Thank god you are here!" I sounded so happily. Kian turned his gaze to me again.
"Who are they?" he asked me. I just shrugged my shoulders up and scoffed.
"We just met them last night. But it looks like Ruki got along with them now," I then looked at my friend. She was now talking with Tobi. I shook my head but then grin when I remembered something. She's in love with Tobi.
"Zaiah, come here! Let's stroll in Kyoto!" she shouted and my eyes went wide and my jaw dropped at that?
What?!
"Kyoto?! That's too far from here!" I reasoned up to back-out but she just laughed and come near me.
"Please! Join us, Zaiah!" she pleaded but I still shook my head, not agreeing on the plan that we will go out with the guys to Kyoto. Ruki glanced at Kian, her face lit up like she just saw a human help. I held my forehead again. Goodness! Looks like I will join the guys tonight! Ugh! Damn it.
"Kian! Join with us! And ask Zaiah to come with us too!" Ruki clasped her hands in front of Kian, pleading. I shut my eyes when Kian chuckled.
"Zaiah, looks like it's cool to hang out with them, let's join them stroll around Kyoto," I sighed and glared at Ruki before finally nodding my head. Ruki squealed because of that.
"Be thankful, Ruki. Kian asked me to go out with you," I said in a whisper to Ruki. She rolled her eyes at me before she beamed at Kian beside me.
This girl! I have no choice but to be with Leomont and his friends again. But it's okay as long as we are with Kian.
