Ken's POV

Kiyoko's birthday is tomorrow, and Okaasan likes me, too. I don't know what to do. I should just clear the air. I called Okaasan, asking her to meet me at the park. I hope she comes; I can't take the suspense anymore....

Okaasan's POV

Ken is meeting me at the park in ten minutes. I can't believe that I have a small crush on Ken. I feel really guilty. I hate this. Kiyoko's birthday is tomorrow, and I'd hate to jeopardize our relationship. The thing is, Kiyoko is a little naive(but not naive as to miss the severity of this situation)... I want to clear the air and put this behind me. (Now I see why Kiyoko likes him so much)....

Great. You came. Okaasan.. I know that you came here to clear the air, so I have to say this. I like you, but Kiyoko means everything to me; I don't want to mess that up. I don't want to mess up your relationship with Kiyoko either.. (Wow.. took the words right out of my mouth).. You're right, Ken. Let's put this behind us. No hard feelings? No, not at all.... We're on the same page.. for now, but there's no guarantee that it will stay that way.....
