Foreword

 

Kota take off the eyeglasses that he is wearing and land it in his study table. He look at the alarm clock that is located in the same table and found out that it's already 6am in the morning, which means it's time for him to prepare himself for his first day in his new university.

 

Tokyo University is his former school, he is in his second year in the Department of Human Psychology when he decided to give it up and transfer to another new school which is the Meiji University. Transferring into a new university is never that easy but thanks for his family's prominent image and very broad connection transferring is no sweat at all. When he first told his parents about transferring they are really surprised, they keep on asking questions like why, what is the reason and why now? Tokyo University is one of the top ranking university around the globe and entering it is never that easy. Many students dream of entering it, but it turn out to be just a dream forever and for Kota to give it up that easily is something so weird.

 

His father is a CEO of a publishing company, famous for publishing magazines, newspaper, novel, children's book and even mangas and comics. His mother is a surgeon and she is one of the best in the hospital where she is working with. He also have a big brother who is already graduated also in Tokyo University and now he is working in their own company as an editor in chief of the Novels Department.

 

After asking so much questions on him about his reasons, they ended up agreeing on it and they even do the things he needed to transfer to the new university. After 3 days things are already done and completed. Kota decided to live in a dormitory which is just a walking distance from the university. He thinks that it is better to stay away from home and start to experience life on its own.

 

The dormitory that Kota is living is a boy's dormitory which is 5 stories high. His room is located on the 5th floor where bathroom are shared by 3 rooms which is composed of 2 individual in 1 room.  Kota is given the chance to choose what room is he going to rent and then he decided on the 5th floor even knowing the consequences. He actually doesn't care besides the reason he lives away from home is to experience something he did not.

 

Kota get his towel and then went straight to the bathroom. The bathroom has 3 showers and 3 cubicles, just enough for 6 people to use besides since they are university student they have different schedules.

 

He push the main door to enter the bathroom and take a bath but ones it opened he saw a guy standing in front of the mirror who is half , just wearing a towel to cover his lower part. He is just standing there and not saying anything so Kota just enter the bathroom peacefully.

 

"I'm going to take a bath." Kota said which he knows is already obvious but the guy just keep on looking at him which make him feels so weird so he end up uttering those words randomly. But the other guy didn't respond on him, he just look away at him and the continue what he is doing. Kota can't understand why he is acting like that but he just continue on his own business. Ones he enter one of the shower area, he thought that the guy is weird.

 

Ones he is done, Kota went back to his room where he found that his roomate is already awake. His roomate is Yuya Takaki and he is a 3rd year student taking up Medicine. He told Yuya about that weird guy that he meet in the bathroom and then Yuya laughed out loud with what he just said.

 

"So you meet him already." Yuya's first sentenced and then he stretch his arms and then stand up.

 

"Who is that?"

 

"Kei." Yuya replied. "He is Kei Inoo, he is the same department as you are and he is also in 2nd year. He is living in the room in front of ours."

 

"Is he really like that?"

 

"Let me warn you, newbie." Yuya said. "That guy is not a guy, he is a maiden. His sight doesn't leave you because you see him half and as for the record you are the first guy who see him like that. He always wakes up early and use the bathroom early and so ones we wake up he is already prepared and well groomed. Ne, how does his body look like?"

 

"Eh?... Well... He has two mole on his chest and he has... White milk complexion." Kota described but he immediately end what he is saying and then look at Yuya "He is gay?" he asked boldly and Yuya just respond with a smile.

 

...

 

Kota stands in front of the main gate of the Meiji University, from now on he needs to start over again. New university means new life, new course means new experiences. He went straight to the classroom which is written on a piece of paper that he is holding. That moment, he feels mixed emotions like excitement and nervous but out of all he is thrilled and eager to know what will happen to his new life that he decided on his own.

 

He has no problem in talking to people. He is friendly and can easily talk to any kind of individual. But since he lives in a rich family he acts more refined and smart than others. The way he talk is also polite and chic making him stand out ones he start to utter words.

 

He entered the room and then look for a vacant seat, ones he found one he immediately sit down which is just at the same time their instructor enters the room. He start calling attendance and when he saw Kota he smiled back at him. Everyone who is silently listening to their instructor look at they guy who he greeted with a smile and then they saw him for the first time.

 

"Wh...who are you?" someone asked.

 

"Class let me introduce him." The instructor said. "He is Kota Yabu, he is a new enrolled student in our university. His former school is Tokyo University and taking Human Psychology.  He start his class today."

 

"Ya...Yabu?" someone uttered. "Isn't it sounds familiar? It really rings a bell."

 

"Yeah... Yabu is the famous publisher company right?"

 

Kota stand up and greeted everyone. He became a topic inside the class, everyone is muttering about him and he knows it. When the class is busy someone raised her hand up and then the teacher calls her attention and then she asked an intriguing question that the class wanted to know but shy to ask.

 

"You came from Tokyo U. And it is one of the biggest university in our country but then...why did you transfer here? When you are already in the top why did you go down?"

 

Kota smiled and then gazed at everyone who is waiting for his answer. "Actually i have a reason why i did that and it is something so personal." he started.

 

Everyone is eager to know, they start to think reasons that could be possible for him to say. Their instructor also wanted to know the reasons behind.

 

"What is that personal reason?"

 

"My reason is that... I am searching for someone... Who i think i fall in love with." he finally answered and at the same time the door of the classroom opened. Kota look at the direction where the door is and then he saw a familiar face standing in front of the door who is catching his breathe. He looks like he run going to the classroom and so he is really really tired.

 

"Sensei, i'm sorry i am late." he said as he wipes the sweat on his forehead.

 

"You are late again, Inoo-san."

 

"I'm really sorry sensei, something urgent happened and it's something i must not taken for granted." Kei answered back as he went straight to his seat. While putting his bag on his table he noticed that someone is standing on his side and when he look at it he saw Kota looking at him. At first his sight doesn't register on his mind but as he looks longer at his face something flash on his mind. He is the guy that early morning, the first guy who saw his body.

 

"Yo....You are..." Kei uttered but he end up biting his lips and didn't finished what he is about to say.

 

Kota smiled as a respond, he knows what Kei wanted to say that time but he just continue as if it is nothing. He just continue having an eye to eye contact with that pretty boy "Ohayoo, Inoo-chan."
