I had been sitting on her bed for a little while when I heard the door
open and I looked up. She was standing there. I quickly got up, ran over,
and hugged her.

"Whoa!" She said chuckling and slowly wrapping her arms around me.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled against her chest.

"For what?"

"For being mean. For ever being mean to you."

"Oh, I know what this is about." I could feel realization go through her.

"You opened my desk drawer didn't you?" She said putting her chin on the
top of my head. I didn't say anything. I just held her tighter. "You
remind me of her in ways." She said quietly.

"How?" I said against her cotton shirt.

"Well, you saw the picture. You look very similar. When I first met you
I didn't see it because you were hidden behind the hair and the makeup,
but when you cut your hair that day and you had no makeup on I was
shocked at the similarity."

"So, you only liked me after I cut my hair and dyed it back and had no
makeup?"

"Heck no. I realized I liked you way before that. At that point it had
to have been you that I liked so much."

I glared up at her. "Are you making fun of my hair?"

"Yes, but that's not the point." She smirked.

"Then what is?"

"That I love you now." She brushed a stray hair out of my eyes.

I smiled up at her. "That's nice to know."

"And, I don't care if you go back to the way your hair was before, I'll
still love you, but I prefer your hair like this."

"You're so sweet."

"Yeah, I know." She leaned down and pressed her lips on mine.

I pouted when she pulled away.

"Well, it's almost time for dinner and we're going out. Do you want to
get ready?" She asked.

"Where are we going?"

"Jimmy's Diner. It's kind of a nice place. You don't have to be really
dressed up, but look nice."

"Alright. I can handle that."

"No combat boots."

"Dang it. Okay, maybe not."

She laughed. "Don't you have those normal boots?"

"Oh! I haven't worn those in a while. How did you know about them?"

"I saw them in your room."

"I hate you and your ridiculous memory sometimes."

She had a smug smile playing on her lips. "Just get ready."

I walked over to my suitcase and found some clothes. I decided on my
nice skinny blue jeans, a white long sleeved polo, and a black sweater
to go over it. It was a little thin for the middle of November, but it
wasn't like I would be standing outside for ages.

I turned around and Mina was standing there...without a shirt and just
in boxers and bra. I could feel myself blush and my eyes widened. I'm just glad
she was facing away so she couldn't see my pink cheeks. That's when I
decided to play her game. I knew that she was messing with me. She knows
what she's doing. So I smirked and took my shirt off, revealing my black
bra. I took my pants off too and no, I wasn't wearing matching
underwear. It was pink with black polka dots, but whatever. I grabbed my
pants and slowly slid them on. It's not like I was just going to stop
dressing for her to see me half , but if she happens to turn around,
that would be a plus.

 

She did.

Her eyes noticeably widened.

"Whoa." She said simply. She was wearing jeans now too.

"What?" I smirked playfully.

"You're a jerk." She said chuckling.

"I'm the jerk?!" I asked incredulously.

"Yeah!"

"Dude, I just turn around and you're standing there with almost no
clothes on!"

She laughed. "It's called changing! You're just being mean!"

"No! I'm changing! And don't act like you didn't have an ulterior motive!"

"Whatever you say, love."

I blushed a little at the nickname, but I didn't change my stance.
"Whatever!"

I grabbed my shirt and started buttoning it up. All of the sudden her
hand was on mine and she lifted my chin, pressing her lips to mine. She
pulled away, but her lips were still brushing mine and I felt her smile,
"You were right, but my plan seriously backfired."

I chuckled and pulled her lips back on mine.

I pulled away this time. "We'll never be ready in time at this rate." She
laughed.

"I'm not entirely upset about that."

"Neither am I." She pecked me on the lips one last time. "But we'll have
other people upset."

"So true."

 

We finished getting ready and I slid my nice black boots over my skinny
jean and she was wearing jeans and a black long sleeved shirt.

I slipped my sweater on and looked in the mirror. I fixed my makeup a
little and my hair. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought.

Once we finished he took my hand and we went downstairs.

 

"Ready?" Her dad asked.

"Yes." Mina said for us both.

"Alright, let's get moving then!"

Masao took Maru's hand and Misuki came up behind us. We all made our way
out to the car and Mina and I sat in the back with Maru in a big
kid's car seat and Misuki in the front.

Mina was holding my hand and intertwining my fingers with hers. "So
Momo noona, why do you like my noona?" Maru asked, turning around in his
little seat.

"Um...well I think she's really smart and funny." I said smiling.

"That's it?"

"Well, she can be really sweet."

"Okay, well, what's your favorite animal?"

"Um...well, I really like lions."

"Really? I like tigers, but only on Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays. All
the other days I like elephants."

I looked at her incredulously. "No way! You're are an awesome little
boy! I love lions, but I really like penguins on Tuesdays!"

His whole face brightened. "Yay! I'm not the only one!"

"Mina, you didn't tell me what an awesome brother you had!"

She laughed. "I didn't even know that, that was his preference now."

"I love him!" I said smiling.

"Do you want to be best friends?" He asked excitedly.

"Goodness yes!" I gave her an awkward, across the seat hug.

"He's very smart." I whispered to Mina.

"He's my brother. Of course he is." She said matter of factly.

I took that as a valid answer.

 

We pulled into the parking lot and all stumbled out of the car.

Mina took my hand and Maru, my new best friend, took my other hand.

I guess they already had a reservation because we went straight in, but
what I thought was strange was that the reservation was made for eight.
That's quite a bit more than us. We sat at a table that was like right
in the middle of the restaurant and it was actually pretty busy.

 

"Masao!" Someone said. We all turned around and a woman came up giving
Masao a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I looked over at Mina for an
answer of who she is, but she looked pretty confused. I then looked down
at Maru, she didn't look happy. A boy and a girl walked up behind the
strange woman. They both looked our age. The woman looked about mid
thirties with long brown hair. She was beautiful. Her kids were very
attractive too. I only assume they're her kids. They look similar. The
girl looked like her mom with long brown hair and pretty tall, about
five eight. Then the boy was almost as tall as Mina. His hair was a
little darker than though and the boy was leaner with less muscle, but
still very attractive.

I knelt down next to her. "Who's that?" I asked.

She stuck her lower lip out and replied saying, "She's daddy's new
girlfriend. I don't think she likes me very much. Jungkook and Irene don't
like me at all."

"Jungkook and Irene are the boy and girl?"

"Yeah."

"What's your dad's girlfriend's name?"

"Yohee."

"Oh."

I stood up next to Mina. She had heard Maru's explanation and didn't
look happy at all.

Masao turned around. "Mina, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend
Yohee. And these are her kids Irene and Jungkook. They are both your age."
He smiled. Mina didn't.

She still went forward and shook their hands.

"Nice to finally meet you Mina. Your father speaks so highly of you.
You are doing very well at school I understand." Yohee smiled.

"Yes, I am, thank you."

Mina also shook hands with Irene and Jungkook. "It's cool to finally put
a face to the name." Irene said smiling and blushing.

'Good luck sweetheart. I'm your competition.' I said mentally, smirking.

"And I'd like you all to meet my girlfriend Momo." She said putting
her hand on my back.

I smiled and shook their hands. I could tell Irene was a little down.
Jungkook smiled widely at me. I could tell he was still looking even when I
turned around to sit.

"Dad, I need to talk to you later." Mina said coldly.

Her dad nodded sadly. There was a bit of a tense moment there.

Oh boy, I think I'm going to enjoy this dinner.
