Alte Liebe Rostet Nicht

Knitting Things

'Hey, how are you doing dear? You are barely texting us anymore.'

'Mami! Things have been busy, sorry.'

'Is it work catching up with you again?'

'Kinda, but not just that.

I got a roommate actually!'

'A roommate? Can't you afford rent anymore?'

'Ey! It's nothing like that! I'm just helping someone out.'

'Wow. That's not something I expected to hear.'

'Am I that heartless?'

'Well, you can be harsh.'

'This again...'

'In any case, if you are ready to help them, you must be very close.'

'Close? Is that what you think?'

'Haha, I think if anyone should know you, it's me and your father.'

'Message received.'

'So, what is he or she like?'

'A bit overbearing and a really good nagger. You two have that in common!'

'Excuse me?'

'Haha, I had to. Sorry~

Anyway, the roommate is a little naggy and grumpy. But it's not all bad.

Been seeing a nicer side of him ever since. He's not so bad anymore.'

'He? You are living with a guy? I thought you would never be interested in that!'

'...

You know...

I feel like I said too much here... '

And that was without giving away who it was. Well, if Ann did they would be more than certain that their mother would have asked more questions. In the end she was just messing with them so they dogged a bullet there. If they were to tell their mother who it was however... So many questions which could be avoided.

'Don't tell your mother everything. She won't be curious that way.' Or so their father said. And he was right. It wasn't lying either, just keeping a little quiet. Given her opinion of Izumi it would be a little too much to tell her about him. Let alone who that kid was she played with for a while... She would probably lose it if she ever found out, at least by this point in time. Though they didn't exactly dislike talking about him to her... For the most part.

'Don't say it's true. He's going on a hiatus?'

'It is. Why?'

'Don't you think it's a bit of a shame?'

'No, not really. It's his choice.

I'm certain he thought this through.

Working as an idol and model gets to you eventually.'

'You're right. How inconsiderate. He's as much of a human as everyone else.

Do you know why?'

'Even if I did, I can't talk about it.

You should know this.'

'Haha, of course. Just wanted to make sure~'
