It's been 7 days since we met at my favorite park and also 7 days that we have been exchanging text messages whenever we're apart. He even made a nickname for me! Hana. I just laugh in amusement and strangely, happiness that feels special than the usual happiness I get to feel. It's something that I can't explain but it feels really good!
At Haru's place
"Wow! This is nice!"
I said, looking around with a big smile on my face.
"Thanks!"
He replied, looking a bit shy and that smile—again!
He sent me a message that he left his door open and for me to head straight to his kitchen.
And as expected, there he is. Standing right behind his "masterpiece" looking so proud and excited for me try!
"This is our first breakfast together! Hope you like it!"
"You love counting firsts, don't you?"
"Hmmmm do I?"
He said with his index finger and thumb under his chin, making a silly face while also looking at a distance.
"You are something, Haru."
We both laughed then started eating!
"Oh my, this is good!"
I said with my mouth full.
"You liked it? Nice!"
His smile this time became wider, sweeter and his eyes turned so much smaller.
"Cute!"
Oh dang, I said that out loud
He looked at me and pretended to be mad, his tongue even stuck to the side of his cheek—he even pouted!
"Calling me cute comes with a price, you know? What can I do? This means us having breakfast together everyday and there's no way out of this. Sorry."
"What? Fine. As if that's a punishment! It's rather a prize, silly."
I countered, sticking my tongue out.
We both smiled.
"But really, this is amazing. I got something to confess."
"Eh?"
He stared at me while chewing his bread, concern in his eyes.
"I don't cook... So, I'm really happy that you do."
We both laughed.
"What? You're keeping me so you could have a personal chef?"
He joked.
"Yes. But isn't it weird? We've only known each other for a week and here I am in your house, having breakfast. Is this a sign of our old age? Making it easy to be friends with someone?"
"Maybe?"
He shrugged.
"By the way, Hana. I also got a confession."
"Yes?"
"I'm... Only gonna be around for 49 days..."
"Hmm? Why? Going on a vacation abroad?"
"Uhm... Yes yes. Something like that. So I really hope I get to spend it with you, if you don't mind."
"Hey, Haru! Stop making it sound like a goodbye!"
"I am not! Relax. It's just, you know, it's gonna take a long time to return?"
"Hey, is it Europe? OMG send me lots of pictures! Ahhh paradise!"
"Ah yes, paradise... So?"
"Sure! I'd love to spend that time with you. Since I'm you're only friend here."
I teased.
"Well, if that's true, you're lucky to be my only friend then!"
We laughed yet again.
There's something with that morning that felt so precious and makes me look forward to the coming days we have together. Haru looked like he got so much planned. I must be ready for surprises as well, right?
