The Story of You and Me - Book 1

Lesson16: White notebook

After the summer vacation.

"Alright, take care everyone" – president.

"Good night everyone!" – vice president.

Saki and Shohei walk together as they turn around the corner while Hideya and Keisuke agreed on taking the same path as the Nakahara mansion is the furthest and the brunette wanted to make sure the ginger got home safe.

"I think everything went well" – the brunette commented.

The ginger looks at him and smiles "Yes, thank you for coming with us and supporting me"

"It's not a big deal" – he said "I was afraid that if I didn't come you'll cry again like a baby"

"Shut up!"

As they arrived at the mansion they were greeted by the maid "Welcome home master Keisuke"- she said and took all the luggage.

"You want to come in for some refreshments?" – the smaller male asked.

"Alright"

Keisuke quickly lays his back on his bed "Ah... this is life, I miss sleeping on my own bed in my own house" – he said as he stretch out and roll over and over on his huge bed.

Hideya walks around the room seemingly looking for something which Keisuke quickly notices "What are you looking for?" – he asked as he lifts his head.

"I'm looking for something to put these" – he said showing the pictures on his hand, those are the pictures that they took when they are up in the mountains.

"Like a photo album?"

"Yes"

"We have the copy of those pictures on our digital camera and phones so why print them only to be put in an album, that's old school"

"Call it old school, I call it saving the memories" – the brunette said "Machines can malfunction, files might get corrupted and deleted but photo albums may last forever. Don't you want to have a photo album that you can look through when you're old?"

Keisuke remembers the photo albums that Kyoko showed him when they visited their house "You're right" – he agreed "You can check on that cabinet"

"Really, is there anything that you can't find in this mansion? He even got an empty photo album for some reason?" – Hideya said inside him as he walks towards the cabinet.

"You can take whatever you like there, I think I have some when I was a child"

"You are still a child" – Hideya mocked.

"Shut up! I'm 16 years old and I'm an adult" - Keisuke huffed as he wants to be treated as an adult.

Hideya see all sorts of stuffs inside the glass cabinet, neatly arranged books, old albums with Keisuke's old photos which Hideya had seen before, and his sight locks on a white empty photo album.

"Can I use this?" – he asked showing it.

"Sure, if there's nothing in there" – answered the ginger while enjoying browsing his phone checking the pictures they took as he rolls over on his bed.

What catches his attention is the white notebook that seems to be a diary and happens to be underneath the white album, it seems like it has seen better days, and with the design you can tell that it's from abroad.

The brunette took out the white notebook which has a title on the cover 'Keisuke Nakahara's Diary'. Out of curiosity he sat down in front of Keisuke's study table and browse through it, his eyes widen when he saw the first page with words written 'To my father and mother' which quickly makes him feel that he's invading the ginger's privacy but curiosity got the best of him and continued to browse.
