Chapter 23

The morning light streamed softly through the window, casting a gentle glow across the room as you stretched and yawned. The events of the past few days had been a whirlwind—your birthday party, the teasing from your friends, and the unexpected moments of closeness with Rin. But today felt different. Today, you decided to do something simple, yet meaningful.

You had woken up with an idea in mind, inspired by the playful teasing of your friends about the "family" you and Rin were becoming. It was time to have a little fun with it. You had already agreed to take on the task of making breakfast for your "family," which consisted of your "husband" Rin and their two adorable "children"—the puppy and the kitten.

With that thought in mind, you headed downstairs to the kitchen, the soft patter of the animals' footsteps following behind you. The puppy, as always, trotted along with enthusiasm, while Rin's kitten followed closely, its tiny paws almost soundless on the floor.

Rin had already made himself comfortable on the couch, his eyes glued to his phone as he scrolled through the latest updates on Blue Lock and other soccer-related news. But when you entered the kitchen, he couldn't help but glance at you with a slightly confused look.

"What's this about 'making breakfast for the family'?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "I thought I was supposed to cook this morning."

You grinned mischievously, looking over your shoulder at him. "Well, I figured since I'm the 'wife' today," you teased, "I should do my part. A little breakfast for our family."

Rin chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, clearly not used to this playful side of you. "You're seriously running with this family idea, huh?"

"Of course," you replied with a wink, already cracking eggs into a bowl. "If we're a family, then we've got to take care of each other. And that means a nice meal to start the day."

With that, you busied yourself in the kitchen, flipping pancakes, scrambling eggs, and preparing the perfect spread for your makeshift family. The puppy sat at your feet, watching eagerly as if hoping for a stray bite, while Rin's kitten lazily curled up on the counter, clearly content with its role as the "baby" of the family.

As you finished preparing the food, you placed the plates carefully on the table, making sure everything was just right. The puppy let out a soft whine, and you couldn't help but laugh, giving it a small piece of sausage as a treat.

Finally, you sat down at the table, the puppy lying at your feet and the kitten perched comfortably on the chair next to Rin. You took a deep breath and looked at Rin, who was still half-watching you with an amused expression.

"Well, breakfast is served," you said, your tone playful yet sincere. "Hope the family enjoys it."

Rin raised an eyebrow at the scene—two pets who seemed just as part of the family as the two of you, all gathered around the table. He smiled softly, shaking his head. "You're really getting into this, huh?"

You took your seat, reaching for your fork. "What can I say? It's fun to play along."

The breakfast was filled with lighthearted conversation, laughter, and plenty of teasing. You fed the puppy bits of sausage while the kitten, still comfortably nestled near Rin, took dainty bites of the small bowl you had prepared for it. It was almost like a picture-perfect family breakfast—one you never would've imagined having just a few months ago.

"Okay, now that we've had breakfast," you said, grinning at Rin, "let's start the day. What's the plan, 'husband'?"

Rin's smile softened as he put his phone down, his attention fully on you now. "Well, my 'wife,'" he teased back, "how about we take the kids out for a walk? Get some fresh air before the day really starts."

You grinned. "That sounds like a perfect plan."

The morning was sunny and calm, perfect for a family outing. You, Rin, the puppy, and the kitten walked through the quiet streets of the neighborhood, the two pets happily trotting along, sniffing the air and playfully chasing each other. Rin kept close to you, his hand brushing against yours occasionally, a comforting, silent reminder of the bond you had.

As you walked, you couldn't help but notice the playful banter that filled the air between you two. It wasn't anything too serious, but it felt right—like the two of you were in sync, as if this little "family" of yours was exactly where it needed to be. Your puppy, ever the curious one, tried to run ahead, while Rin's kitten, a little more reserved, trotted just behind.

"Do you think people would believe us if we said we actually had a family?" you asked, glancing at Rin as he smiled at the sight of the animals interacting.

Rin chuckled. "They might, especially after all the photos our friends took," he said, still amused by the idea. "I don't think we could pull it off as convincingly as some families, but..."

You laughed, nodding. "Yeah, I guess we're missing a few things, like... I don't know, maybe actual children?"

Rin gave you a side glance, his expression shifting to something a little more sincere. "I think this is perfect," he said softly, his voice serious for a moment. "Just us. The pets. It feels like a real family, doesn't it?"

The words made your heart skip a beat. You looked over at him, finding that rare vulnerability in his eyes. "Yeah," you said quietly, smiling up at him. "It really does."

The walk ended with a stop at the park, where the puppy and kitten ran around together, their playful antics bringing smiles to everyone nearby. You and Rin sat on a bench, watching the pets play in the grass, the serene atmosphere perfect for some quiet moments between the two of you.

"So, about today," you said after a while, nudging Rin with your elbow. "Are we just going to keep playing house, or are we actually going to do something serious?"

Rin smirked. "I think this is serious enough. Maybe we can head back home and relax for a bit before we do anything else."

You nodded, leaning your head on his shoulder. "Sounds good to me."

It was moments like this—quiet, simple, and just the two of you—that made everything feel so much more special. You had both come a long way from your childhood together, and despite everything that had happened, it felt like you were finally getting to build the kind of life that you had only ever imagined.

As the puppy came running back, its tail wagging furiously, you took a deep breath and smiled. Life was a little crazy, a little unexpected, but with Rin by your side—and the pets that had somehow become part of your family—it felt like it was exactly where it was meant to be.

"Maybe this is the perfect family," you thought, looking over at Rin, who was giving you that same soft, affectionate smile. "For now, anyway."
