[IN THE GROCERY STORE]

"Guys, what should we eat for dinner?" Hikaru asked.

"Noodles." Kei answered. "Agree?"

"Agree!" All of them said in unison. I directly get nine cup noodles and placed it on the cart.

Oh my, they will eat noddles for dinner? With no, rice? Hmph. Everything they said they'll buy, I directly get and put it on the cart. After we bought groceries, we walked and walked. They never get tired because they're not bringing any grocery bags.

"So heavy." I walked slowly, bringing all the frocery bags, when Chinen helped me.

"I'll help you with that." I handed one of hte grocery bags to him when his hand accidentally touched mine. "Ahh, gomenasai, onee-chan."

"It's ok." I smiled at him. "Don't call me onee'chan. Just call me, Mariko."

"Mariko? Are you sure?" Chinen asked.

"I'm sure. Call me Mariko from now on." I answered.

"Hai, M-M-Mariko." He stuttered.

"That's it, let's go, they're starting to leave us." I patted his head and walked.

"Chotto, Mariko!" He ran to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------

CHINEN YURI'S P.O.V.

My happiest day ever! She let me call her by her first name.

"Umm, Mariko." I called her.

"Nani, Chinen-kun?" She asked.

"Ahh, nothing." I answered.

"You want to discuss something? Discuss it now." She said.

"Ok. If someoone confessed to you, and asked you to go out with him, will you go out with him?" I asked in reply.

"I won't go out with him. Even though he's popular, or anything." She answered. "Wait, why are you talking about this thing?"

"Just asking. Don't mind about it." I said.

"Chinen-kun, can you keep a secret?" She looked at me.

"Yes, I can." I smiled to her.

"Please don't tell anyone about this." She whispered. "I'm a manhater."

I was so shocked. She's a manhater?! This is really difficult for me to confess to her.

[IN HSJ'S HOUSE]

KAJIWARA MARIKO'S P.O.V.

Tonight, i'm in Hey! Say! JUMP's house. Why can't they let me go home? I'm really, really, tired this day. They made fun of me, they yelled so loud that I think i'm gonna be deaf, and they didn't help me bring all of the grocery bags except Chinen.

"Umm, minna." I called everyone. "I'm going home. It's already late." I touched my forehead.

"Ok, Kajiwara-san. Kiotsukete!" Yuya said.

"Hai." I twisted the doorknob when Chinen stopped me. "Chinen?"

"Ahh, Mariko. About your secret, is it true?" He asked.

"Ahh, that. I forgot to tell you, it's not true." I smiled at him. OMG, I told him about that. Thanks to my skill at lying. Is it, a skill? or a sin? I don't know. "Ittekimasu!" I left the house.

"Itterashai!" All of them replied.

The next day.................

[IN THE PRACTICE ROOM]

Everyone is busy practicing for their upcoming concert in Yokohama Arena next week.

"Being an artist is surely hard, ne." I mumbled.

"Kajiwara-san, you've been called by Kitagawa-san." A lady said.

"Ah, coming." I hurriedly went to ojiisan's office.

[IN KITAGAWA JOHNNY'S OFFICE]

"Ohayou, ojiisan." I sat on the chair.

"Ohayou, Mariko. It's been a long time since we haven't talked." He looked at me. "How's work?"

"Fine. How is she? I mean, the original assistant?" I asked.

"She's taking some rest." He answered. "But that's not what we're gonna talk about."

"Then what are we gonna talk about?" I crossed my legs.

"You're gonna move to Hey! Say! JUMP's house in two days, Mariko." He said.

"WHAT??!! I'm gonna live with those boys?! I won't do that, ojiisan!" I yelled in reply.

"Do it. You agreed that everything i'll ask you to do, you'll follow. Have you forgotten?" He drank his tea.

Why did I ever agree to him?!

"Mariko, are you listening to me?" Ojiisan asked.

"Ah, hai, ojiisan." I answered. "I'll agree with you."

"So, you're moving in two days. I prepared a single room for you in their house." He said/

"Ojiisan, do they know that, i'm your granddaughter?" I asked.

"They still don't know about your true identity." He answered.

"Ojiisan, is there a Catholic church here?" I asked.

"Catholic church? Yes, it's just near Hey! Say! JUMP's house." He answered.

[IN THE PRACTICE ROOM]

Everyone was smiling while practicing. What's with the smiles?

"Mariko, why are you frowning?" Ryosuke asked, sitting beisde me.

"Nothing." I answered.

"Come on, tell me. I'm your friend." He said, holding my hand.

I was totally blushing."Ok, i'll tell you." I removed my hands from his."I'm gonna move to your house in two days."

"What?!" Ryosuke yelled. "Minna, minna." He called everyone.

"Doue, Yama-chan?" Keito asked.

"Minna, Mariko's moving to our house in two days." He looked at me, smiling.

"Yes! Oh, yes!" Chinen jumped and jumped.

"Guys, I think she's not happy." Daiki said.

"I'm totally not happy." I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Because you're moving?" Yabu asked.

"No, that's not it. Girl thing." I answered. But really, i'm still sad because i'm moving.

"Oh, monthly period!" Hikaru yelled. 

"Hikaru! Why are you saying that?!" Yuya asked.

"Honto ni gomenasai!!" He answered, apologizing.

I stared at Yuto who's been quiet all along. I'm glad my whatever feelings for him died.

---------------------------------------------------------------

NAKAJIMA YUTO'S P.O.V.

When I saw everyone feeling happy about Kajiwara-san because she's moving to our house, i'm feeling a little bit left out. I don't like her to move. I'm afraid, i'll break the promise I made to her.

~FLASHBACK~

"Ayaka, i promise you i'll never love anyone but you." I held her hand.

"If you break your promise, i'll never forgive you." Ayaka said.

"I'll never break it." I replied.

"Arigatou, Yuto." She hugged me then I hugged her back.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"Yuo! Yuto!" Chinen yelled at me. "Yuto, why are you so quiet? Aren't you happy that's Mariko's moving to our house?"

"Of course i'm happy!" I answered, placing a fake smile.

-----------------------------------------------

CHINEN YURI'S P.O.V.

I'm so happy Mariko's gonna move to our house in two days. I can't wait for it. I'll spend more time with her, talk to her, eat with her, everything!

-----------------------------------------------

YAMADA RYOSUKE'S P.O.V.

I was shocked when Mariko said that she'll be moving to our house. But who decided this? Her, or, Kitagawa Johnny?

"Ano, Mariko. May i know why you're moving?" I asked her.

"Kitagawa-san asked me to." She answered.
