[On the way to school (07:15)]
It's 7.15 in the morning. Conan and Haibara were walking side by side to school. Before that, they had a simple breakfast at Prof Agasa's house. They did not have much conservation during breakfast. So, it became awkward for both of them until Haibara decided to break the silence.

"Kudo-kun? What do you want to discuss with me just now?" Haibara glanced at Conan.

"Oh....umm. Actually, yesterday I got a call from Kaa-san."

Flashback

[ Kogorou Mouri's House Dining Room (20:30) ]

"Ran-nechan, I'm full. Gochisousama." Conan put down the chopsticks and get ready to clean.

It's been a while for three of them to eat together. Lately, Ran was busy with her Karate training since there will be a championship Karate soon. Luckily, today Ran got a day off from her Karate club. Thus, she decided to make a dinner for today. When she was not home Conan and Kogoro will only eating at the café below them. Sometimes they will eat instant Ramen.

"Okay, Conan-kun." She sighed. "Geez, Otou-san. You should learn how to cook. I'm worried for both of your health." Said Ran

"Hahaha....calm down Ran. It's not like I do not want to learn to cook. I'm just busy. Hahahaha...." He said proudly while drinking.

"Otou-san...Are you drunk again? Geez.... Get drunk after we had a dinner. I will confiscate this." Ran picked the remaining beer and put them in the refrigerator.

"Give it back....." He used all his remaining energy to say and then he fell asleep.

"Conan! Make sure that you would not be like him when you grow up!" She clenched her fist.

"Hai!" He trembled.

"Of course, I would not be like that. Even we have the same ways of thinking but our way to solving a problem is totally different."

He remembered that in the past when Ran get better from Amnesia she said that Conan said the same thing as Kogoro when Conan try to confess his feeling to Ran. Of course, Ran thought that it was only a joke because there was no way for Conan to like her as opposite gender. From Ran perspective Conan was like a little brother to her. She thought that Conan heard how Eri Kisaki story about how Kogoro confessing to Kisaki. The truth was Conan did not hear the story because he was interrupted with something else.

[ Kogorou Mouri's House Bed Room 1 (09:00) ]

After finished helping Ran, Conan got back to his room. No, actually it was Kogoro's room. Conan was just a freeloader in this house. He sighed. Kogoro was still at the dining room sleeping there soundly. Ran ignored Kogoro and she did not intend to wake him up as she was still angry.

Ring...Ring...Ring....The mobile phone was ringing
He picked up the mobile phone from his pocket.

"It's Kaaa-san...." He answered the phone. "Kaa-san, Moshi..Moshi. What do you want?" He said indifferently.

"What with that greeting? I didn't remember to raise you up to be like that." Yukiko replied as she sounds like she was pouting.

"Konnichiwa, Kaa-san. Why are you calling?" He said with a happy voice. Actually, he was acting to be happy. Conan knew that this conservation will take a while so he sat down on a bed.

"Yes. That sounds better. Konnichiwa, Shin-chan. How are you doing? ~" she replied to Conan lovely.

"Oh....By the way, is she alright?"

"I'm fine. Huh? Who are you talking about? Ran-san? She is energetic as ever." He replied.

"No shin-chan. I'm talking about Ai-chan."

"Oh...about her. She is okay. I guess." He said halfheartedly.

"Is that all? No, it's not good Shin-chan. You have to be honest." Yukiko said like she knew everything.

"What are you talking about? Okay, she is lovely and she is a bit cruel." He said sarcastically.

"Ara? Is Shin-chan falls for Ai-chan too. Make sure you have to choose only one or maybe you would like to choose both."

"Of course not! " He denied it abruptly. He was lucky that the conservation took place in a phone if they confront each other his mother will teasing him even more.

"Hahahaha....You should check on her sometimes. Shin-chan please protect her even risking your life. " She said to him like she is satisfied.

"Okay, Kaa-san."

"Ohh...One more think see you tomorrow and maybe Shin-chan can take my advice too~. Oyasumi"

"Oyasumi....Wait! What with see you tomorrow?! " He didn't manage to say it all as the line was cut off.
Conan was too engulfed with the conversation unable to notice that someone has already entered his room and that person was Ran.

"Co-Conan! Who are you talking to and what are you so loud?!" Ran raised her voice. She seems like she was really angry.

The aftermath was really terrible for Conan.
End of Flashback

"What does she say?" She glanced at Conan.

- What are you doing? Is she alright? Protect her with your life. - He remembered his mother advice last night and he is in a deep thought.

"About Ran?" She tilted her head.

"huh? No. It's about you." Conan said annoyingly while pointing at her.

"Are you kidding me?" She narrowed her eyes.

"Nope. I'm serious. Do you think that I'm joking?" Then, Conan said with a serious face while thinking about his conversation with his mother.

Upon the replied Haibara's face became slightly red.
"uh...uhm...Maybe not." She flustered while looking down.

When he saw her in that state he asked worriedly

"Are you alright Haibara?"

'Her face is a bit red. Is she embarrassed? No. Of course not. Maybe she is not feeling well.' is what he thought

"Uhmm...yes. I'm alright. Why?" she took a glanced at Conan.

"Your face is red." He said bluntly without thinking it carefully.

Hearing that blunt answer from Conan infuriate her. The reason why she acts like that was because she had never experience this feeling before.

'You are the one to blame, Kudo!' She shouted in her mind.

"What?" She said with an irritating voice when she looked at him.

When he saw her again he quickly back away and quickly apologize. He don't want to make her angry because from his experience making a bad move/action will resulting in worst situation later.

"Gomen." He looked away while apologize.

'I'm better to keep an eye for Haibara. She always acts tough in front other.' He thought and sighed.

'This all happened because the weird thing that Kaa-san told me last night.' Then, he was in a deep thought again.

They were walking to school silently without any conversation. Haibara was cursing herself for being like that while Conan determined to look out for Haibara.
