Chapter V

The second day had dawned,  the just-risen sun shone through Hiroki's window. Reminding him of his mom's delectable prepared breakfasts. This makes him eager to go downstairs early.

He lost all of his optimism after seeing 'Balut' on their dining table.

Balut is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines. Many foreign people considers this as a fun eating challenge.

He slowly walks backwards to avoid eating it. Although, it's a rare sight for him to see both of his parents sharing a table nowadays, because his dad is always busy. So he joins in.

After minutes of hesitation, debates, and forcing that Hiroki must eat Balut. He eventually eats it and enjoyed it anyway. Therefore he grants himself the award of "food commitment".

He now strides his way to S.U. carrying a satisfied smile. From a distance, he saw Detsu waving from the main entrance.

"Oi! Kotayashi! Your aura today shines brighter than the sun. What happened? Was it a facile task to get Kumika's number?" Detsu asked, assumed the reason behind Hiroki's joyous vibe. "What? Kumika?....Oh! The game. Yeah, about that, I uh, i'm just getting started." He answered. The boys talked their way to room 109.

...

"Soka. Today we're actually going to talk about what I was originally planning to do yesterday. I have been given reports and cctv files that, Kentaro Mutasha was the one who stole my notes, kids these days." Professor Joon proclaimed.

Oh, that's why Kentaro isn't present right now. He must be in detention now, a suspension is too far.

"We're going to see and analyze. Who has decent knowledge and creativity through creating metric origamis, symmetry and accuracy at it's finest."

Everyone starts mumbling.

"To those who are worried that they don't know what to do. This will be a group activity, will be presented next monday."

The first thoughts that came across all of them is whether it's their decision to form a team or not. Hanaka shows a letter to Hiroki; 'Ur free 2 join my group :3' Hiroki acts he's not able to read it. "A classic. Like we're still in elementary grade" Detsu whispered to himself.

"Each group consists of four members, and I, Already assigned you all." Professor said.

Half of the class were disappointed to not have the guarantee of being with their friends. And half were most likely friendly enough to be okay with whoever their partners will be. Hanaka crumbles her invitation paper. Kumika, on her side, is insecure that no matter who her group mates will be, she won't be able to get along.

"For group A, Kentaro Mutasha, Hanaka Tsuka, Detsu Kanadeo and Yuri Satasaru."

The first group has been declared. Students at the back discussed about how that's a ponderous team Yuri has to carry.

"For Group B, we have, Misaki Sato, Hiroki Kotayashi, Akira Nakamura, and, Kumika Ito".

Hanaka let's out a nauseate expression of the fact Hiroki gets to amalgamate with two of the most well-known people in S.U.

Akira Nakamura. The multi-talented student of their school batch. He used to take a part time job in the school's kitchen, he's capable of performing lavish culinary skills. All of the different ramen broths in the cafeteria were originated by him. He's the illustrious son of the two prominent Nakamura Couple; exterior and interior designers, professional and has contributed a lot to their son's school through this.
