Catarina's exam is in three days and that's why she had been studying nonstop. After continuous hours of studying, she decided to take a break.

I'm worn out. Ah! It's time for HEAVENS' radio.

Quickly, the female turned on the radio on her phone and plucked earphones. It seemed like the show had just started. But all of a sudden, a very certain laughter, which didn't belong to the Otori brothers, resonated.

"This voice is..."she heard Eiichi's voice.

Don't tell me...

BOOM

Catarina jolted upwards at the sudden noise. "What in the world...?!"

She could hear Eiji's coughing before he exclaimed, "What is that?! An explosion?!"

"I've arrived! I suppose that does it," A voice HEAVENS and Catarina knew well declared.

Catarina slammed her face on her table. Why am I surprised?

The next things that happened were Raging Otori's nonsense blabbering about how the radio show lacked something which caused Catarina to roll her eyes, Raging taunting Eiichi that caused him to accept Raging's challenge of sweet talking the angels and poor Eiji being stuck in the middle while the female felt bad for the sweet brunette.

And now Eiji just finished his topic 'A phrase you say on a date.'

"Aww, he's so sweet and precious!" Catarina smiled when Eiji told his lines.

But of course, Raging decided to be an idiot and added his unnecessary comments, saying that it was too normal. Eiichi kept defending his brother and Catarina kept nodding in agreement at everything Eiichi was saying.

"Your turn is next,Eiichi!" Their president announced.

"Fine," Eiichi accepted. "Eiji, I'll let you decide the topic."

Suddenly, Catarina felt thirsty so she started drinking water from the bottle she kept on her table.

"Then..."Eiji started, "How about a 'A phrase to say to an angel that's doing their best studying'?"

That was when Catarina choked on her water and started coughing. What the?! Did Eiji do this on purpose!?

After she stopped coughing, she heard Eiichi say,"Okay."

I wonder if he realized what Eiji is referring to...

The young woman could feel her heart beating faster in anticipation.

Eiichi's sweet voice could be heard from the phone and she tried to imagine him saying it. "You're really working hard,huh... Your efforts are truly adorable. I'll be watching by your side so I bet you'll handle the test just as well."

He chuckled before continuing, "That's right. I'll give you any kind of reward that you want once you reach your goal. I'll give you anything you desire. You understand what I mean, right? That's a good girl. Now move your hand, it's time to receive your reward."

Catarina flushed bright red after hearing him say all those. Unconsciously she moved her hand just like Eiichi said. She tried to calm the rapid beating of her heart.

Did he mean all that...?

She could not give attention to the rest of the show since her heart and mind was full of thoughts of the one she loved.

But..... The loneliness returned to her heart. Did he think of me when he said those?

She was once again reminded of the distance between them.
