Winter break has started and most of the players went back to their home. I've decided to follow Kuramochi back to their home dahil wala lang, trip ko lang. At hindi ko rin alam saan tutungo si Kat dahil hindi niya ako sinabihan. Secret daw kasi.

I wear a sunglass and a disguise clothing upang hindi niya ako mamukhaan since this Yankee is very sharp and observant. Of course, malayo sa kanya ang inuupuan ko and I'm hiding behind a magazine na dala-dala ko.

I frequently glance to his direction, checking him. Almost two hours had passed and the train arrived in Chiba. I saw Youichi walks out of the train kaya mabilis din akong tumayo at lumabas din sa tren. Once outside the train, I look through the surroundings to find him.

I was surprised nang mahanap ko siya sa malayuan. Wew, this dude walked fast. I change my pace upang masundan siya. Once outside the station, nagpatuloy lang siya sa paglakad until he crossed a pedestrian lane. I have to run to catch up to the green light, but still have to be far away from him.

Lumiko siya ng kalsada and continued to walk. We reached a riverbank na may mga apartments built on the sides. I looked on the surroundings and admired it. May mga mangilan-ngilang mga tao and there are also kids playing on the flat ground down the slope.

Napansin kong lumiko siya sa isang maliit na daan–good for two persons–and walked straight ahead. Of course sumunod ako sa kanya hanggang sa huminto siya sa tapat ng elevator.

Magtatago sana ako but he turned around instantly, meeting my face, one brow arched up while giving me a question look. "Ira? Why the hell did you followed me!?" he asked.

"Heh.. you knew?" I let out an amused response.

"Yeah, when I crossed the pedestrian." He responded back.

I smiled, "Here I thought I was being discreet." I sighed, approaching him.

"Answer my question. Why the hell did you follow me?" Pag-uulit niya.

I shrugged off, pulling out my sunglasses, "Trip ko lang." I answered, unbothered . I watched as his face turns exasperated.

"Ano!?" He exclaimed.

"Haha! I wanted to meet your parents, Youichi." I playfully added sabay pindot ng elevator. The doors opened and I pushed him inside together with me.

"So, which floor?" Nasasabik na tanong ko sa kanya.

"Uh, four." He responded, still bothered while giving me a baffled look. I press the button and the doors closed.

"Teka lang! Why do you wanna meet my parents?" He asked in surprise and he looks protesting against it with his delinquent-attitude coming out.

I chuckled, "Secret." I winked at him and walk out of the elevator as soon as it reached 4th level.

"Hey!" He called out, catching up with me. "Don't say anything funny in front of my mother and grandpa!" Utos niya sa akin and I didn't put it to mind.

Huminto siya sa harapan ng pintuan sabay pindot ng doorbell. I heard the door clicked at bumukas ito revealing an adult woman wearing a kitchen apron with a warm smile on her face.

"Youichii!!" She greeted happily sabay yakap sa kanya. I tried to contain my laughter as I saw his face painted in awkwardness.

"Mom..." The shortstop gamer called.
