"Hm, what should I get this time?" you pondered, eyeing the variety of drinks in the vending machine. "Should I get the new soda, or..."
"Hello!" A sudden voice interrupted your thoughts, causing you to jump in surprise.
Whipping your head to your right, you saw a guy who's a few inches shorter than you.
"Whoa! Is this the holy vending machine where you get your strength from?" he asked, pressing his face into the machine, making you sweat at his strange behavior.
"Uh...what?" you asked, backing away slightly.
The guy then stared at you with sparkles in his eyes. "I'm Yohan!"
"Um..." You didn't really know what else to say. Just who is this guy?
Yohan noticed your confusion and continued. "I used to go to the same school as you. Remember the kid that was bullied by those seniors before?"
"You saved me from them back then," Yohan added, a grateful smile spreading across his face.
Your eyes slightly widened in familiarity as you examined his face. You remembered that freckled face, once covered with cuts and bruises. His unkempt hair, now neatly styled, and his eyes, which used to be dull, now sparkled with light.
"It's you..." you muttered, recognizing him, which made the boy in front of you smile brightly.
"Of course it's me! Hah! It's been so long since the last time I saw you." he said
"Anyway, what flavor of drink do you usually get? Oh, is it strawberry? Does it give you strength?" Yohan rambled on about what drink might give you your strength, which confused you even more. Uh, what?
Has he always been this weird? Eh, who are you kidding? You've never in your life interacted with this kid, except when you saved him from those bullies of his.
Noticing how focused he is on figuring out your favorite flavor, you decide to leave quietly, tired of the interaction.
"Oh! I think you like watermelon flavored and a-" the boy stops mid-sentence when he sees that you are nowhere in sight, making him look around confused.
"She did it again! She disappeared like last time, wow she really does have super powers!" Yohan says with sparkles in his eyes.
You, on the other hand, hear what he said, making you sweat and try your best to keep hidden while walking away from the boy.
'jeez, that kid sure is weird...'

"Oh man, I can't believe I didn't get to buy that new soda," you mumbled dejectedly as you neared your house.
You saw your dad just arriving at your house with his bike, making you stop in your tracks. "Huh?" you let out, confused as to why he was just getting home.
Normally, he would be home by five, but looking at the time now, he had just arrived at the same time as you, which was seven.
You then approached him while examining his bike to see if there was anything attached to it. "Hey, Pa," you greeted, making your dad turn to you.
"Oh, [Name]. You're home early," he said, tilting his head.
"It's already seven, Pa," you replied.
He looked surprised for a moment, then chuckled. "Time flies, doesn't it? I had to do some deliveries. One of our costumer was celebrating his birthday today."
You nodded, relieved there wasn't anything more concerning. "Did they ask you to drink? You smell like alcohol."
Your dad chuckled nervously at your words and scratched his cheek. "I had a couple of drinks or two. I was too embarrassed to decline, hehe."
You deadpanned at this and sighed. "I guess the restaurant won't be opening early then. I bet you'll sleep in."
Your dad laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, probably. Let's go inside?"
You nodded your head and you both walked inside.
As you were about to enter, your phone suddenly rang with a familiar ringtone, making you quickly grab it from your bag. You looked at your dad and beckoned him to head inside while you answered the call.
As soon as you clicked the answer button, Takemitchi's voice boomed from your phone. "[Name]! Please come to my house ASAP!" he yelled, making you wince at the volume.
"What's wrong, Takemitchi?" you asked, confused.
"Just come quick! This is a serious matter, hurry, I need help!!" As soon as you heard the word 'help,' you immediately dropped your bag, shocking your dad, who was still outside with you.
"Uh, sorry, Pa! I need to go!" you exclaimed as you ran in the direction of Takemitchi's house.
"He-hey! Go where?!" you heard your dad yell out after you.
Your dad stood there stunned as he watched your figure quickly disappear around a corner. He let out a sigh as he went to pick up your bag from the floor.
"Man, she didn't even get to eat the cake I brought home. I guess I'll put it in the fridge for a while," he mumbled to himself as he entered the house.
"I hope Ryosuke's already home. Why is that girl always in a hurry whenever someone asks her for help?" he wondered aloud, glancing back toward the door. Then his eyes fell on the family picture above it. He smiled as he stared at the image of his late wife.
"She's just like you, Hinatsuru. Always helping others and quite commanding too," he said softly. "You were right when you said both her and Takemitchi is going to be inseparable."
Your dad sighed and headed towards the living room, placing your bag on the couch.
There was a moment of silence before he heard footsteps descending the stairs. Ryosuke appeared at the bottom, rubbing his eyes as if he'd just woken up from a nap.
"Dad? Where's [Name]?" Ryosuke asked, still looking groggy but noticed that her sister wasn't home.
"She just ran out in a hurry again. Something about helping a friend. She didn't even get to eat the cake I brought home," your dad explained, gesturing to the cake box on the counter.
Ryosuke frowned slightly. "She always does that, doesn't she?"
"Yes, she does. Just like your mother," their dad said with a nostalgic smile, glancing at the family picture again.
Ryosuke looked at the picture and then back at his dad. "Want me to put the cake in the fridge?"
"Thanks, Ryosuke. And maybe keep an eye out for your sister when she gets back, okay?"
Ryosuke nodded in reply, taking the cake and carefully placing it in the fridge.
