Why Can't It Be?
Chapter 9: Forthwith
(๑>◡<๑) FLASHBACK 3 YEARS AGO (๑>◡<๑)
Semi's POV
It's been 5 months since Y/N and I started dating. It still feels surreal sometimes though.
The school year is almost over as well, and yes we're close to graduation.
I've already decided to go to Shiratorizawa. Though the chances of being accepted is seventy to thirty, I'm still hoping to get in.
Y/N haven't yet decided where to go. But we applied at Shiratorizawa together. She also said that Seijoh is on her list considering they're also a powerhouse and also have a cheerleading squad.
*Phone Vibrating: OKAASAN CALLING*
Eita: Moshi-moshi. Eita desu.
Okaasan: Eita, we'll be having dinner just the two of us. Is that okay?
Eita: What's gotten into you, Mom?
Okaasan: Betsuni, just meet me at Santaro, 6:30pm. (Nothing.)
Eita: Hai, wakattemasu. (Yes, I understand.)
*END OF CALL*
As I put the phone down, I can't help but think what's gotten with my Mom.
"Semi-kun. Semi-kun? Semi-kun!"
Y/N was already beside me. "What were you thinking Semi-kun? You look like you're in deep thoughts."
"Uhm, nothing. My Mom just called me and invited to me eat dinner." I answered.
"I see. So, what's wrong with that?" Y/N asked.
"Nothing really, I just can't help but wonder why though. Well, I think we have to cancel our plans later huh?"
Y/N gave me her sweet smile. "Daijobu desu yo. Make up for your lost time with your Mom. Looks like my Dad have plans for us as well."
Y/N showed me her phone and she received a text message from her Dad to meet her later.
"Hey Y/N." I paused. "Hmm? Nani?"
"Nothing."
Y/N haven't talked about getting serious, like if we'd want to meet each other's family. But it seems like it's not yet the right time for us.
When I arrived at the restaurant, my Mom was already there.
Conversation:
Eita: So, what do you want to talk about?
Okaasan: What school are you entering this spring?
Eita: If I got lucky, I'd really like to go to Shiratorizawa. Isn't that our plan since then?
Okaasan: I see. You know, I've been doing well in my work, so I just wanted to treat you like we used to. We never get the chance to bond.
Eita: I'm glad to hear that.
Okaasan: So, are you seeing anybody?
That was one random question. I don't know why I felt so petrified with her question. I wanted to tell her the truth, I wanted to open up to her, so that I'd make things easier with Y/N and I.
But...
Eita: None, that I know.
Okaasan: Doshita no? (Why not?)
Eita: Hmmm. Not that it matters though.
Okaasan: Well anyway, Eita. The reason I wanted to talk to you about us. I don't know where to start, but, I'm currently seeing someone.
I don't know how to process what I've heard.
Eita: Did I hear it right? Since when? Wait, no need to answer that.
My Mom was flustered by my reaction. But then I don't want her to think that I'm not happy for her. After all, she deserves to be.
Eita: Are you happy, Mom?
Mom can't help but smile and I could see her eyes twinkling.
Okaasan: Yes.
Simple answer as it is.
Eita: I'm happy for you if you are.
Okaasan: Oh, Eita. I'm so relieved hearing that from you. Arigatou ne.
Eita: No worries. But Mom, to be honest. I'm also seeing someone at the moment. I know I denied it earlier. It's just I don't know how to tell you yet. Since we're already discussing this kind of topic, I thought I'd come clean.
Okaasan: I know. I was just waiting for you to tell me. As for me, I'm happy for you too. Thank you, Eita. Let's finish our food.
We arrived at our house quite late. I haven't kept in touch with Y/N since dinner time.
When I checked my phone, there was any missed calls, not even a text message from her.
That was quite odd.
I ignored it first cause maybe she's still out with her father. I don't want to disturb her as well.
I decided to take a quick shower.
By the time I finished, I heard my phone was vibrating.
*Y/N CALLING*
I picked it up immediately.
Eita: Moshi moshi. Eita desu.
There was only silence.
Eita: Hello? Y/N-chan? Doshita no? Moshi moshi.
I checked my screen, the call was going thru and it wasn't even on mute.
Eita: Oi, Y/N. Are you there?
Then the call just ended.
I tried to call back but my call wasn't going through.
I also messaged Y/N but she didn't even reply.
What the hell? I thought. Did something happen? I was fucking restless. Come to think of it, I didn't even know where she lives.
I tried calling her again, but no luck.
*ONE MESSAGE RECEIVED
Y/N: I love you, Eita-kun.
I began to feel something's really off. I kept on dialing Y/N's number but I can't get thru. I decided to go out and search for her. It doesn't matter where she is, as long as she's just safe. Please, let her be safe.
Where the hell are you, Y/N?
