Chapter 9: Clues

It's been a few months since Rin was still in the hospital and until now, I could still get to talk with Gumi. I was actually having feelings to her and I didn't know why. I been often, call her Gumi-gumi cutie and she's been denying that she wasn't. And Miku was still very suspicious about the guy she was chatting with because whenever she was saying about him, it really does sounds familiar to us. All his obsessions and those two friends he was saying to her.

"Well, he really does sound very familiar", I said while walking with her to the hallways.

"Yeah, very almost like Kaito.. ", Miku whispered and I nodded. I agreed with her, the guy she was talking to through VocaChat, sounds familiar to us. Well, there are many people in this world that could probably not the person we were thinking of. Because I knew everyone loves ice cream, right? Maybe I'm wrong cause some doesn't, I guess?

"Well, anything you want to talk about Gumi?", Miku asked. Yes, surprised? Miku knew about Gumiyo's name because I told her about it, though what mysterious was, her last name. I told Gumi my full name and she started to call me Len.

"We'll talk about it later", I said and looked at the watch, "because it's almost time for class".

"Oh, sure. Later then!", Miku said and ran to her classroom.

After class, Miku and I went to the roof with Kaito as we sat on our usual spot. Though, we would probably talk about Gumi just this fifth time. "So, any news for Gumi?", Miku asked. I cleared my throat and looked down, "we're doing fine but...".

"But?", Kaito raised a brow while he was eating his ice cream.

"I have feelings for her..", I slowly said and the two went quiet.

"Wh-what?", I looked at them confused. Kaito was remained silent but he slowly smile while Miku began to squeal like a crazy fan girl.

"I totally ship you two!", she suddenly said and ate her snack. "Seriously, you two talk a lot through VocaChat and your mother seem didn't mind at all!", she continued while her mouth was full. I didn't know but I think I was blushing for no reason or it is?

"Congratulations, buddy", Kaito said and pat my shoulder with a proud smile he was showing to me, "I'm proud of you. I thought you're single forever because of what happened to your sister", he said and I looked at him. "No, of course not! It's not something siblings lover or something..", I was too shy to tell that word. "Incest", they both said.

"Not that kind of brother. I love her as my sister and I like Gumi, that's it", I said and I didn't even know that I really confessed to them on how I felt for Gumi. "Aww, looks like this lover boy mean it~", Miku teased and they suddenly laughed at my face, probably was red. "I bet you become sweet towards her, huh?", Miku continued and now she's the one who teased instead of me. Maybe this is her pay back on what I just teased her about Kaito. "K-Kinda am..", I did really mean it.

"I knew it!", Miku cheered and whispered, "wait till I tell this to Rin!", I gulped and sighed deeply. Age doesn't matter,right? I mean some people had someone special that are younger and older than them, it's just that. "You better force her to go back here in Japan just for some reason!", Miku said seriously as she looked at me and glared a bit, "I will talk to her for sure later, since I know her username", she continued. Kaito looked at her shocked, "M-Miku that's...".

"Ap! I know what I'm doing", Miku said and crossed her arms, "and tell her that someone is in love", she continued. "M-Miku, don't!", I said and stood up. "Why do you want to stop me? After all what you tease me about Kaito!", she looked away and seemed like she was mad. "I-I... I'm sorry, Miku", I said and Miku looked at me, she laughed and stuck out her tongue, "I knew it you're going to apologize!".
