I held Aika close to me, smiling widely while Aika just glared at me. "You're such a-"

I cut her off. "Kawaii boyfriend," I responded, smirking.

"Pfft, you? Nooooo." She rolled her eyes before looking at the ground. I could see a light blush on her cheeks.

"What, Aika? Cat got your tongue?" I joked, chuckling softly.

She met my eyes, glaring at me. "You...." She tried to think of a comeback before sighing. She still had the blush on her cheeks. "Are... Are we really dating?" She blushed more as she avoided my gaze.

"Yes. Didn't I tell you that I love you?" I whispered in her ear, my arms around her waist. I hugged her from behind.

Even though her siblings were watching us, I didn't really care because I already told Akito that I was dating his older sister after I told Asami.

Aika looked into my eyes and traced the outline of my cheek with her index finger before pinching it. She made me cringe and whine. "Owie."

Aika just smirked. "That's what you get for leaving me." She then let go of my cheek. "Are you sure that you don't have anyone else? That another girl isn't waiting for you in Korea?"

I could feel the tension in the air as I kissed her forehead softly. "Aika, look at me. I never loved anyone else other than you. I never loved anyone else as fiercely, as passionately as I love you," I declared, my eyes staring into hers.

She blushed deeply. "O-okay.."

How can she think that way? I thought, biting my lower lip while Aika played with her younger siblings. I know that she missed me and all.. But, does she really not trust me at all?

I eyed her before a small smirk came onto my lips. Or... She's jealous~

If it was five years before, I would have never thought that Aika would feel this way for me. Me, the geeky, dorky boy. Me, the boy who doesn't know a thing about poverty. Me, the boy who doesn't know his place in the world. Me, the boy who does anything and everything for her.

Maybe I should tell her.. Or show her how much I love her.

But... With what?

Probably something sexy..
