Haruka's POV

 “It’s Thursday again, time to go to work.” *Off to go to Hikari’s house*

Meanwhile Hikari and Yui are walking together off to Hikari’s House for their tutor class, they finally arrived and Haruka is already near the house. A few minutes later, Haruka clicks the doorbell and the housemaid let her in as usual for the private lessons.

“Yay! I’m more fired up to study now that we’re two.” XD an energetic said by Hikari

“Ah…h….hai…., I’m glad too and excited.” Shyly respond by Yui

“Ohhh, I think sensei is already here!” J said Hikari

“Sumimasen(excuse me) Konichiwa Hikari-chan! And ohhhh…. You must be Yui-chan?” J greeted by Haruka

“H…Hai… Hajimemae(Nice to meet you) sensei.” Said Yui with a small tone of voice, “I’m Uchida Yui desu~, Yoroshiku onegaishimasu(Please take care of me)” added by Yui

“Hai, Nice to meet you too Yui-chan, oh! Is it alright for me to call you Yui-chan?” said Haruka smiling

“Daijoubu desu(It’s alright)….” Said Yui

“Oyyyy,oyyy….. I’m feeling left out.” >_< said Hikari with a pouting face

“Hai, Hai… orraaaa, let’s start the lesson now.” Said Haruka

“Hai, sensei” said the two

“Hmmmm Uchida, it feels like I already heard it…..” said Haruka while thinking

“Ah sensei, maybe you really heard it already because Yui-chan’s Family is really Sugoi!!!(Amazing) they are rich and she also has an older brother!” explained enthusiastically by Hikari

“Ahhhh! Is that so….. okay, enough chit chat… let’s start with Languages subject.” Said Haruka but in her mind ~ “Chotto(wait) if she has an older brother,  hmmmm does it mean that she is ahhhh that guy’s imouto(little sister)? Ahhhh muri muri(impossible) there’s a lot of possibilities too.” *contradicting her own thoughts XD , Ahhhh gotta to work now.”

Naruse’s POV

~Currently working at the Studio~

“Karen, are the files that I sent to you has been done?” asked Naruse

“Hai, they’re already done boss.” Her employee replied with a military style tone of voice

“Okay, thanks. How about you Nichiya? The editing?” He asked

“Hai, Hai, I’ve already edited them boss and also another company has been calling to offer us, they said they want and need us for their upcoming project. What will I say to them boss?” said by Nichiya*another employee

“Sankyu!(thanks) about that, just forward the call to me.” Naruse said

“Time to wrap up guys, good work!” he added

His other employees were talking about something in a small tone of voice while preparing to go home.

“Ahhhh, it’s such a waste… our boss is almost perfect- look at him, good looks, caring, cool, and more also aggressive to the things that he wants yet he is not interested in any girls/woman to speak.” Said by the female staff while squealing mainly fangirling at the same time.

“Yeah, you’re right, Masaka!(Don’t tell me) our boss is a (___)!. Oh no! “ >_< *with a pale and exaggerating expression by the female staff along the other co-workers, crying in sadness.

“Oy, Oy… yamero!(Stop it) our boss is a full blooded MAN! You know. Stop gossiping about him so that we could already leave.” Explained by Nichiya*a male staff and with a thumbs up by the other male staff – meaning they really respect their boss and was touched by the defend of Nichiya XD

Right after Naruse went inside his car to go home, a sudden phone call from his mom….

~Phone ringing~

Naruse answered. “Hai? Oka-san(Mom) What is it? It’s rare for you to call me especially at this time around?” he said

“Oh dear, Naruse could you kindly give your little sister a ride home?” asked his mom

“Ha? It’s already 8pm shouldn’t be she’s right there now?” confusedly asked by Naruse

“Oh! I forgot to tell you, starting today she’s having a tutor class together with her new classmate and her friend!” said his mom with a joyful tone of voice. “It’s just that I’m still worried for her, I already told her that only for today that she will be serviced home and she can go home by commute the next time because that’s what she requested to me and I also want her wish to happen, you know me son. We agreed to each other since she’s already growing up but you know that for me she is still a little girl!” :3 added by his mom with a worried and dramatically said

“Hai, Hai… Daijoubu(it’s okay) Oka-san, hmmm I haven’t seen her also for awhile now so its good. Where is the address?” he asked

“Arigato! :D I’ll text you the location.” Said his mom

Then right after the call ended and Naruse received the location of the place, he went straight ahead.

“It’s a good thing that I’m already off work and goota tease my imouto(little sister) hahaha” XD he let a dramatic laugh….. “Demo(but) Yukata(it’s a relief/a good thing) that she already made some friend at school eh?” J He spoke to himself while driving.

Meanwhile at Kanade’s residence/Hikari-chan’s house

“Oh! It’s already past 8 o’clock in the evening, okay let’s stop here for now. Let’s just continue tomorrow, don’t forget to do your homeworks okay?” reminded by Haruka

“Hai, wakata(we understand) sensei!” responded by the two students

“Arigato sensei it was fun.” J added by Yui

“hai, watashi mo(same here/me too)” replied by Haruka

“Ahhhh! Yui-chan, you said too that for tonight you will be service to go home right? Hmmm by who?” Hikari asked

“Hh…hai, it’s my onee-chan(older brother)” replied by Yui

“Ohhhh!!! I will finally meet your older brother….. I wonder what he is like.?” Said Hikari while imagining

“Ettoooo…. My older brother is a kind person and…..etto………” Yui said while beginning to panic on what to say next

“Maa Maa(So, so) stop it Hikari-chan, you’re making Yui-chan frustrated” said Haruka

“hai, sensei.” Said Hikari doing a salute *still teasing

“Anyway, why don’t we wait together outside for your older brother?” asked Haruka

“Hh….hai, arigato sensei If you would like, I’ll ask him to give you a ride too. It’s already dark sensei!” replied by Yui with a cute puppy face look and clearly giving a lecture style tone of voice

“Areeee(expression to say) Daijoubu, I’ll just take the bus.” Haruka replied

~Beeppppp…………. A sound of a car~

“Oh! It must be your older brother Yui” :D said Hikari with excitement

“hai, ja arigato Hikari-chan for letting me to stay in your house” thanked by Yui while bowing.

“Ahhh,,,, it’s nothing and it’s fine ;) sensei Arigato! See you mina(everyone) tomorrow.” ;) Hikari replied while at the front gate

The moment Haruka looked ahead, she didn’t expect to see a familiar face and as NAruse went outside of his car, he was also surprised to see her! “Tachibana Haruka” *speaking in his mind, the woman who is always in his mind since he met her. Their eyes looked at each other and amused at the same time.

~Silence at the moment~

“Onee-chan(older brother)! Do you know sensei? Onee-chann………one-chann……..”Yui asked and continuosly calling his older brother wondering…..who seems like frozen at the moment

Meanwhile Hikari at their back is squealing  and imagining weird things at the situation that she is watching.

“Anoo…(expression to say) I’m Yui-chan’s sensei” haruka said with a shy voice because she was also surprised at the same time.

“Oh! Yes, I’m Yui’s older brother. I didn’t know that you’re a teacher.” He replied with amusement

Yui came closer to his brother and whispered to his ear “Onee-chan, please give sensei a ride home…. Please…. It’s already night too.”

Naruse then immediately ask Haruka for a ride. “Arigato for taking care of my imouto (little sister), would you like to care for a ride? Ah no! I mean ah to give you a ride home? Since we’re on the same way too.” Naruse said with a bit of panicking

“Tosshio?(what to do) it would be bad if I refuse them right? Ahhhh nothing’s wrong so…*speaking in her mind* “Hai, arigato for the concern.” Haruka replied

Meanwhile Hikari and Yui just stare at them with amusement and Hikari said “Now I know that it runs through your bloodline.” *she means being frustrated or easily panicking at certain times*

“What do you mean by that?” Yui asked with curiosity

“Nah, nothing…*giggles* ja, see you tomorrow” ;) Hikari said

“We’ll go now Hikari-chan.” Said Haruka

Naruse had Yui take home and was greeted by their mother while Haruka also went outside the car to greet them.

“Ah, my dear son. Arigato for taking care of your imouto. Aree…(expression to say) who is she?” with a joyful and excited tone of voice asked by their mother.

“Oka-san, she’s my sensei” said Yui

“Ah is that so! Ja thank you sensei for taking good care of my Yui-chan’s first day” their mom said happily

“Ah hai, you’re welcome and thank you too for entrusting me Yui-chan, I’m Tachibana Haruka.” She said and bow to show respect

“We’re also going home now Oka-san, we live in the same neighbourhood soooo just same way.” Said Naruse

“Aree……(expression to say) is that so?*grinning* okay, then please take care you too.” Said his mother teasing her son

“Hai,hai…” said Naruse, Haruka also said bye before leabing. Yui and her mom went inside after.

“Let’s go” said Naruse, as they walk toward the car, they suddenly bumped to each other and touched each other hands that made the two cautious.

Both went inside the car then haruka had troubled with getting her seatbelt fixed. Naruse reached it to help her until they met each other’s eyes again and with Naruse’s face close ahead to haruka hearing each other’s breathing and which made her heartbeat faster all of a sudden that is the first time for her since that was also the only  moment any other guy closest to her. While Naruse is startuck to Haruka but immediately went back to his seat and started the car.

Both were frustrated while Naruse started his car, Haruka then turned to face the window having a blushed expression on her for the first time.

“Hmmmm, let’s go home” Naruse said to break the silence.

“Hhh….hai…” Haruka shyly replied

After, silence dominated again Inside the car both of them don’t know what to say. Then Haruka was feeling cold with her hands embracing herself to warm her up.

Naruse noticed and asked her “is the air-con too strong/cold? I’ll trun it lower”*with concern and looked for his jacket at the back sit since he always bring it with him and gave it to Haruka.

“Here, try to put this on” said Naruse with a concern voice

“Arigato.” Haruka said while looking down because she’s too embarrassed to look at him. Then both looked ahead…..

~With the two meeting again unexpectedly and going home together! XD With Haruka’s feeling different too for the first time since she’s not really good at these kind of things. :D <3 Romance to start now >_<~

Note: The staff at the photostudio prefer calling naruse “BOSS” and its just fine with him even though he suggested to just call him as Naruse. *you might find it weird though XD anyway…..

What awaits for these two at that evening?! XD hehehehe….. They will take step by step but look forward to it ;) Arigato mina-san!!! Till next time ^_^
