Chap 25

Yoshiro's POV

He befriended them quite fast and he sure is amazing them with this techniques. Pati yung team captain naging seryoso na din. Hindi ako magtataka kung iimbitahin siya na sumali sa team. Hinayaan ko siyang mag enjoy hanggang sa tumunog ang bell.

"Kyouhei, tara na" tawag ko at nag jogging siya papunta sakin.

"You're sweaty"

"And dirty as well. Let me change" he added. Dinala ko siya sa comfort room and waited for him to come out. Nag shower pa eh. Suot niya yung closed hoodie niya at hawak hawak niya yung basang t-shirt nung lumabas siya. Pumunta na kami sa JCR pagkatapos.

"So you're the editor-in-chief" sabi niya habang nagmumuni muni. Ako naman, nag e-edit ng articles.

"Yup"

"And you work alone?"

"Obviously"

"Why?"

"Coz I can do it all on my own"

"How long?"

"Since I was in second year"

"The teachers didn't argue about it?"

"They did pero pinakita ko sa kanila na kaya ko"

"Didn't you think about the others who wants to take part in the paper?"

"Oh please. I did consider them on my first year as the editor-in-chief, and believe me, they were all wasting time"

"Did you give them a chance?"

"A whole year of chances, satisfied?"

"So they just submit their articles to you, you edit them, and do all the pages?"

"Bingo"

"That's a lot of work. So that's why they're letting you have your own time"

"Kyouhei-kun?" I called and turned towards him.

"Quit yapping. I'm busy working. Go find yourself something to read"

Tumahimik na siya sa wakas. Nag libot libot siya habang ginagawa ko trabaho ko. Nag concentrate na ako sa editing at nadistorbo ulit nung narinig ko siyang nagsalita.

"Wow, star crusher" pagsasabihan ko sana ulit pero bilib na bilib siyang nagbabasa sa mga past papers na pinublish ko. An hour before bell, tapos na ako. Dumiretso na kami sa office ng school head.

"You passed. Here's your subject list, instructors, schedule, and section" and this dude is speechless. Ako na kumuha.

"I placed him in your section Miss Devily. He's got the brain" ngisi ni school head.

"Go and process your ID and buy the school uniform mister Yukihira. Miss Devily here will guide you" sabi niya kay Kyouhei na hindi parin makapaniwala.

Hinila ko na siya palabas at dumiretso sa Photo Center para magawan na siya ng ID. Dumiretso kami sa store pagkatapos at bumili ng uniform niya. I toured him around the campus habang may oras pa. Masyado na din kaming late pag hahabol pa kami sa last subject. At tinatamad din akong pumasok.

"Hey son, how's your first day in school?" pambungad ni dad nung nakauwi na kami.

"It's fun. I got to play with the school's soccer team"

Habang nag-uusap sila, nilabhan ko na agad yung uniform ni Kyouhei para may magamit siya bukas. Habang ginagawa ko homework ko, hindi tumitigil sa kaka ping ang notification ko. I finished it and opened my laptop then logged into the underground website. It's not surprising na kami ni Kyouhei ang topic. Ako naman lagi pinag chi-chismisan nila eh. I logged out at bumaba na para kumain. Pero imbes na sa dining room ko makikita yung dalawa, nasa living room sila. Si dad and lawak ng ngisi. Si Kyouhei naman pulang pula ang mukha.

"Watching porn?" I asked casually. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na nahuhuli ko si dad na nanunuod.

"Your schoolmates think that you're couples" dad grinned. Naka log in na naman siya sa school website.

"Ano naman ngayon? Hindi ba?" tanong ko at gulat siyang tumingin sakin.

"He's my real fiancé, remember?"

"But you're cousins" dad argued

"Distant cousins" I corrected

"That's why you and mom agreed and we had the ceremony" pagtutuloy ko

"I might as well wear my ring para matigil na sila sa kakahinala" I announced.

"You still have it?" Kyouhei asked in disbelief.

"I took good care of it" sagot ko at tumayo sa harapan niya.

"Eh ikaw, nasa sayo pa ba?" pagbabanta ko tapos hinila niya palabas yung necklace niya where the engagement ring is attached. I couldn't be happier.

"Okay, tara na. Gutom na ako" dad announced then the door opened after a few knocks.

"I'm home" Dustin announced then his gaze fell on Kyouhei.

"Agent Ken?" he asked and closed the door with his bag of clothes

"Ah, Dustin" dad interfered and Kyouhei looked puzzled.

"He's Kyouhei Yukihira"

"Oh"

"Just in time for dinner" I said and went straight to the dining room.

"How's your friend Kiara?" tanong ni dad habang kumakain kami.

"She's doing great kaya makaka attend na ako sa klase simula bukas"

"Speaking of that, Kyouhei will go to the same school and section as the both of you" dad informed.

"Is that so? That would be great" Dustin looked happy. Kyouhei just smiled back

"Kailan siya madidischarge?" tanong ko naman.

"Next week pa daw"

"I see" sabi ko sabay tayo at nilagay ang pinagkainan ko sa sink.

"Kyouhei-kun, video game tayo" imbita ko at sinet ang TV. It was once our pass times years ago

"Shi hayaan mo na lang siyang matulog"

"One game lang dad" rason ko at inilabas yung controller

"It is fine, dad" rinig kong sabi ni Kyouhei. Whatever Dustin's reaction is, I only know one thing. He's not pleased.
