A pair of green eyes met another pair of green eyes.

Sarina is now looking at her reflection in the mirror after taking her bath. She slowly reached for her lips. And then, memories came rushing in.

Someone really kissed me last night.

And it's not just anyone but by the one and only Ran Haitani.

She squealed internally while covering her mouth. She really allowed someone to kiss her aside from Rindou. The men's only difference was...Ran made his feelings clear. He told her his intentions. He made it so clear last night that it took all she could to send him back home because he was so fixated on wanting to get inside their apartment to further prove his feelings for her. Just imagine what she went through. Of course, she knew what he meant. Man kept laughing when she was as red as tomato. Thankfully, he was just fooling around. Or not. 

"Art classes. Work, too. Think only those things, Sarina Samidori." Was what she said before leaving the bathroom and preparing for the day.

Little did she know that her thoughts wouldn't let her be. Just like Nanase Mirano.

"Ehhh?! Ran-kun kissed you?!"

"Sshh! Keep it down, Nana-chan. What happened to keeping it between us?!"

"Sorry. Can't help it. I just got excited." The workmates, Sarina and Nanase are now in the stockroom of the restaurant where they work at, arranging ingredients. The black-haired was too perplexed that she couldn't stop herself from telling this friend of hers, whom as expected, reacted loudly.

"Your hair's getting longer, you little girl. Better put more treatment in that." The brunette joked. "So...did you kiss him back?" What she added...slowly beamed Sarina's face.

"I-I don't know. I was too shocked that I forgot how I reacted." With that, Nana started laughing.

"Idiot. He kissed you three times, and you don't know how you did? He might as well do the deed with you since you don't pay attention."

"Nana-chan! What are you feeding my innocent mind?! Eat some grass!"

"Innocent mind, my ass. I bet your mind is filled with the curiosity with how big R—" The brunette couldn't continue because Sarina covered her mouth quick.

"Sshh! What are you even saying, Nana-chan? What if somebody hears?" Nana just started laughing.

"Silly. But kidding aside, nerd. I'm happy that you finally found someone who appreciates you." The green-eyed slowly gaped, while looking at her grinning friend. 

"Not only that, but it's also nice to see you successful with your book and even your art classes. I know I'm a mean bitch to you sometimes but know that I am always proud of you." What the brown-eyed said...made her green eyes turn glassy underneath her glasses.
