When I woke up, I can already feel the slight pain on my hips

When I woke up, I can already feel the slight pain on my hips. A groan left my lips as I try to sit up, massaging my hips. My squinted eyes relaxed when a memory from yesterday appeared in my mind at the sight of my closet. Right, inside that is Shinichiro's jacket.

I immediately went for the couch, collecting the jacket in my arms as quick as I could. The door opened and I turned to face my parents, hiding my hands behind me with the jacket. I blink my eyes multiple times, a small and nervous smile appearing on my lips.

"Oh hey honey..." My mother trailed off while she massages her left shoulder.

"Hi! Welcome back!" I greeted them, trying my best to not be suspicious or anything. The look on my father's face proved me wrong though. He's definitely seeing through me.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, slowly making his way towards me. I took quick sidesteps towards the stairs, shaking my head.

"No! I'm all good! I'll just go to my room!" I explained and then made a run upstairs, hugging the jacket close to my chest.

A knock on my door pop me out of my trance. I stood up from my bed, making a face when I felt the small pain on my hips. When I opened my door I saw my mother in an apron with a really excited look on her face.

"Good morning! Breakfast is ready!" She said enthusiastically and then laid a quick peck on my forehead.

I did a quick morning routine before following her downstairs. They're both there already when I arrived, my father reading a newspaper while my mother talks to him. I sat on my usual seat and stared at the food served. There's a lot of different types of bread and coffee.

"Oh! Honey, go on and pick what you like." My mother said. "This is a brioche and that one's a croissant, I brought it from Milan." She added, looking really giddy.

I just smiled and grabbed the loaf looking bread, brioche as she said. I put cream cheese over it and started eating. Their conversation continued while I just stayed on my seat, not having a chance to join in, enjoying my food.

"Oh right, I almost forgot..." My mother started then she turned to me. I put my bread down, knowing well that I'm finally getting to speak with them. "Have you contacted Sayaka?"

"Huh? Who's that?" I asked, my eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Sayaka! The tutor we got for you." She said. Oh right, that was her name. "She's a really smart girl, I know well that she'll be able to help you."
