"It's my first time being here. I can't wait to see what you have inside your house!" Rini comments, removing her shoes by the doorway before taking a look at his living room. "You're a neat guy yourself, Waka." She says, taking a seat down on the couch while removing the straps of her backpack off.

Wakasa shrugs upon hearing her words. "Someone's got to do the cleaning." He replies, walking over to the kitchen and opening his fridge. "Is there anything you want me to get you? I'm making a quick run to the convenient store." He asks, closing the door.

"Melon soda will do!" Rini responded, placing her backpack on top of her laptop to unzip and take out exam books from inside.

Without any words, Wakasa went on to leave after putting his slippers. And as soon as Rini heard the doors closing, she couldn't help but immediately get up on her feet, looking around all over the place.

Workout equipment in one corner, fridge filled with only bottles of water and cans of beer. Her little inspection went to as far as going inside his room where the first item her eyes laid on is a white, long heavy trench coat neatly placed in a hanger. Rini wondered why was another gang uniform secured in his room when he and her older brother are in one.

Extending her arms out and taking a hold of it, she loosely examines it's design, reading the motto printed on the sleeve of the arm before putting on her. Looking at her reflection through a small mirror, she couldn't help but wonder why would Wakasa choose a long coat. Despite wondering, Rini already knew that Wakasa would look good in anything he wears.

"What are you doing?" Asked a male's voice.

Hearing someone suddenly speak to her made the girl jump and scream, whipping her head to look at Wakasa who stood by the doorway of his room. "Don't scare me like that!" She reprimands him, placing a hand on her chest as she calms herself. "Is this your jacket? I couldn't help but be drawn into it." She admits, giving him a tight lipped smile before twirling. "What's Kodo Rengo, Waka?"

Wakasa could only stare at her figure for a moment, heart racing at the sight of her wearing his old gang uniform. Taking a step forward and pulling her closer by the cloth, he placed soft, little pecks on her lips. "Kodo Rengo" chu! "is" chu! "my" chu! "former" chu! "gang" chu! "that" chu! "I" chu! "lead." chu!

Giggling, Rini couldn't help but mimic his actions, cupping his cheeks in her hands before placing pecks on his lips back. "I" chu! "understand" chu!

What was supposed to be a study session ended up watching a horror movie in his living room, Rini situated between Wakasa's legs; one hand holding onto the bottom part of the bowl filled with popcorn and the other hand feeding him.

"If the main character says they'll be back" Wakasa begins to say, "It means they'll never return."

"That's actually so true!" Rini chimes "And why do they keep answering those phone calls? Why can't they call the police for help?" She argues, picking up a popcorn before feeding it to Wakasa.

"I'm getting bored with this one" Wakasa comments, catching Rini by surprise as he takes a hold of her jaw, moving her head to the side to place a kiss on her lips. Closing her eyes, Rini parts her lips slightly open, kissing him back. Dipping his head lower to deepen the kiss, index fingers rolling around against the shape and curve of her clothed breasts before rubbing against her bud.

Leaning away from the kiss, he gives her a playful smirk before burying his nose on the crook of her neck, his arms wrapping around her waist from behind.

"Are you not interested in the movie anymore?" She asks, giggling as she feels his lips placing kisses on her neck, letting out a mewl upon feeling his lips nipping at her earlobe.

"Nope." Wakasa responded, placing a kiss on her shoulder.

The following day at school, despite still being sleepy, Rini had no choice but to transfer her note from one paper to another. All the while she is doing so, her phone chimed in the middle of class; lowering her pencil and opening her phone, her eyes remained on her teacher so she would immediately hide it if ever she gets caught.

Sighing to herself, Rini closes her phone before pocketing it, raising her hand up. "I'll just go to the washroom first." She says, getting up from her seat and then walking out the door, carrying her phone and another item in hand.

To: Rini
From: Wakasa

Men's bathroom, first floor, first stall. am 8:09

The first stall fits two people. am 8:09

Heaving a breath, the black haired girl jogs down the stairs and marches towards the men's bathroom on the first floor, closing the door behind her before knocking on the first stall's door.

"I brought you extra toilet papers." She says, making a face.

"My hand's over here" Wakasa responded, waving his hand under the small gap of the door. "What a lifesaver you are." He adds, taking the toilet paper from her.

"You owe me one after school." The girl jokes, chuckling softly as she turns around to leave the men's toilet. Much to her surprise, Takeomi was about to enter when he halted and made a face when he caught sight of Rini inside.

The two older siblings stared at each other awkwardly before the silence was voided by the sound of flushing and Wakasa leaving the stall while fixing his pants.

Takeomi squints his eyes. "Am I thinking-"

"It's not what it looks like." Rini deadpans.
