Everlasting Happiness

I won't hurt her again

It's been 1 hour since I've arrived at the airport. Right now I'm looking for Irina who just said 60 minutes ago that her plane just got landed on Japan.

While searching for her I heard someone calling my name

"Ise-Kunnnnnnn~~~~~ <3" It was Irina.

I approach her with a smile on the face ☺

"Hey Irina! Look at you, you're grown up!"

"And look at you Ise-kun!, you look manly! and Tall! What's your height?"

As Irina look at me from bottom to top

"My height it 6'6" I said it while scratching the back of my head and smiling sheepishly.

"R-really? The last time I saw you you were like 4 feet tall and now, look at you!" Irina said while looking at me shockingly.

"I'm just a preteen back then"

As I noticed she's carrying a lot of things. I reached out for her hand and suggested..

"Do you want some help?"

"Yes, please carry this" As she gave me two heavy bags

"Woah, this is heavy! What are inside of these bags? Bricks? Stones? Or what?" I complaint with a funny voice

"How rude it's just my things" Irina pouted.

'I don't buy it' as I said in my head

"Anyway let's get going"

As we look for a cab to take Irina to her apartment

(At the cab)

"So why did you decide to stay here in Japan?" I asked while looking at her

"Nothing I just need to take a vacation" she said in a cheap tone of voice

"I see"

"And I miss my childhood friend too~~" As she hugs me tight.

"H-hey watch it!" I said while turning red. I pinch her left cheek to stop hugging me

"Owww owww!!~~ stowp pwinching my f-face Ise-kun!!"

"I'll stop pinching you if you stop hugging me! I can't breath!"

As she stopped hugging me

"Ouch that really hurts!" Irina complaint. I just laugh at her reaction

"I think we're here" I said while looking outside the window cab

We then decided to step outside the cab then I carry Irina's bags as we went inside her apartment

(At the elevator)

I'm currently leaning on the wall of the elevator. I then look at my watch.

Hmm it's past twelve? I wonder if Buchou is still mad at me. I then remembered the thing earlier.

Damn I almost kissed Buchou! Who can blame me? I-I love Buchou! And I will lose my mind if I found out that Buchou likes other man!

If I confessed to her, and if I got myself wrong to my conclusion that 'she likes me', then I'll lose my pride and courage to talk to people including her!

That's why I need to be careful. I'll just keep it from myself. For now, I'll just handle our current situation with Buchou.

"Are you okay? You look tired" Irina ask me with a worried expression.

"Huh? Y-yeah I-I'm fine! No need to worry"

Irina then ask me with a shy tone of voice

"H-hey, since it's past twelve we can eat lunch at the nearby restaurant."
