The Ice Princess [OHSHC]

11 : Jin

Tamaki

The twins dragged me into the restaurant while I was still looking at Min walking away. She looked so different than usual... Without the glasses and wig, she looked so... Mesmerizing.

" What took you so long? " Haruhi questioned as I sat opposite of her.

" He was busy flirting with a stranger." Hikaru snickered.

" Was not! " I protested.

" Who is that girl then? " Hikaru asked.

" N-no one. " I quickly looked at the menu and called the waitress, hoping that they wouldn't ask me more about Min.

" Okay so let's have our meal quickly and grab Haruhi's outfit at mom's shop. " Kaoru began." We have about, half an hour to finish our breakfast then two hours getting ready for the show. "

Haruhi let out a huge sigh." I don't get why I have to go to that show, you even made me skip school for this... "

I look at her and answered. " Now now, we've already went through this." she sighed once more and continued having her meal.

Once I was done with breakfast, I excused myself to the restroom. As I was about to enter it, I bumped into someone.

" Hey, you're Suoh Tamaki-senpai right? " a guy, who seemed to familiar asked.

" Yes and you are...? " I looked at him closer and he looked really familiar. Perhaps someone from school?

" I'm Kim Leo Jin, but you can call me Jin. " he bowed slightly.

Suddenly, an image of him and Min walking together popped up in my mind. " I remember you now, you're Min's brother."

" Yeah, my sister often complained about you and the twins, that's why I-" Jin suddenly stopped midway and I could feel that he tensed up. " I mean, my brother often told me stories about the host club." he finished.

" Relax, Jin. " I gave him a pat on the shoulder." I know that Min is a girl so there isn't a need for you to hide it. "

Jin released a huge sigh of relief."  Thank God, I thought I had blew up her secret. "

" Although I have a question... Why does she want to disguise herself as a guy? She looks so much better being herself, I-I mean she looks great in her guy disguise as well. Wait no, it's not-I'm not saying she looks bad either way but-" I stuttered too much and decided to just keep my mouth closed.
" Wow. " Jin exclaimed." Never have I ever seen Suoh-senpai this way. From what I've seen and heard, you are the one who make girls swoon over you and not the other way round and from how you talked about Min just a moment ago, it sounds like you have something in there for her. " he pointed to my chest.

I tried saying something, but nothing came out of my mouth.

" It's alright, you're not the first to swoon over her. I'd better get going soon, it was nice seeing you senpai. " Jin smiled before walking away.

What was that? I'm not the only one? Does that mean that there are others who know that she's a girl too?

I returned to the restaurant but none of my friends were there. Where could they have gone?

I took out my cellphone in an attempt to call them, but neither one of them were picking it up. So I decided to walk around the mall.

" So this is where commoners frequent..." I mumbled to myself as I look past the shops. I rarely came to places like this because I could just snap my fingers and have people doing it for me.

" You again... " someone muttered from behind.

I turned and once more, Min stood before me.

" H-hello Min. " I greeted, still not use to her dressed like this.

" Oh, senpai we meet again! " Jin waved to me with enthusiasm.

" Oh boy... Why do I always stumble into him... " I heard Min softly saying as she rubbed her temples.

" Aww, don't be like this. This is no way to treat your mom! If only daddy was here... " I pouted.

" First of all, we aren't in the host club. Secondly, Kyoya and you aren't my mom and dad. Jin let's go. " Min then grabbed Jin's hand and walked away.

" Wait! " I called out." Mind if I join you both? " Both Jin and Min raised a brow at me." Well... I've never been to this place before... " they still looked at me, not convinced." The twins and Haruhi left me alone so... I'm kind of lost... "

" For all I could care, there is a lost child center here and you could go to them. " Min coldly says as she folded her arms.

I turned my gaze to Jin, hoping he'd allow me to tag along.

" Come on, that's no way to treat your senpai. " Jin said before turning to me." Senpai, let's go shall we? "

I grinned widely as Min rolled her eyes.

--------

" I guess the competition is off now, since he's here. " Min referred to me. What competition is she talking about?

" Let's go get it together then. One more hour and we'll have to head back. " Jin informed.

I stood there, confused about what was happening." I'm kind of confused here... " I managed to say it softly, causing Jin to turn around, but not Min.

" Don't you know? Claire is a-"

" He doesn't need to know about that, Leo. " Min glared at Jin while covering his mouth with her hand.

" Claire? Who's Claire? " I asked. I was getting even more confused as time passed.

Jin retorted back, not answering my question. " Sis come on, I'm pretty sure senpai can be trusted and obviously, he won't be like those people! "

Min glanced at me for a moment, then turned back. " Suit yourself then!" and with that, she stormed away.

" I'm sorry, I should have just kept quiet. " I apologized.

Jin managed a smile at me." Senpai, it's not your fault. It's just that Claire has major trust issues. "

" Why do you call her Claire? "

" Her full name is Kim Claire Min. Does the name Claire ring a bell to you? "

" No...? But it does sound a little familiar. " I tried to recall anything about that name but failed to do so." What about the name Claire? " I inquired.

But Jin just gave me a brief answer." You'll know when she chooses to tell you, or when you find out about it yourself. Let's go and find her for now. "
