NEKO SUGAR CUBES ~ Countryhumans

~ The Milk ~

It was almost the time for the first breaktime bell to ring when the teacher in North Korea's classroom stepped to the center of the front of the classroom and gave his students task instructions. They will work in groups. A good news for some students, but a bad news to another.

North Korea was being the well-whatever-as-long-as-I-get-a-score type of student and just sat there looking left and right, searching for a group. Meanwhile, Canada and Phillippines were looking for someone who hadn't got a group. Their eyes caught North Korea with rocking tail and confused eyes. It seems like he hadn't found anyone. Canada gulped, gathering his steadyness of heart before the spicy reply that could be an agreement or a hard refuse. But before he even take a breath to talk, Phlllippines opened his mouth and waved his hand.

"North Korea," he called, "Would you wanna join our group?"

What he did eventually stole the whole class's attention. The students turned their head and looking at the korean, waiting for his answer. Then, without minding the whole class staring at him, North Korea smiled and said,

"Sure! Thank you."

And their group was complete. The teacher continued explaining the task. The bell rang, and the teacher left that room. Some seconds later, the class was full of chats.

North Korea rose from his seat and went near Canada and Phillippines. He greeted them.

"Hello," North said, "How should we do the task?"

Canada and Phillippines was out of words. They never saw North Korea so bright and cheerful before. Plus, why is he still a cat?

"Uhm, uhh... what?" North Korea finally spoke, startling the two countries who stared at him soo intensly.

"Oh, sorry. We're just... uh... wondering," Canada said.

"Wondering why you...," Phillippines said.

"Why I what? Just say it," North Korea said, smiling wider with a slight confusion.

"You are a neko," said Canada and Phillippines harmonically.

North blinked his eyes, processing the fact he just realized that time. Yes, he's still a neko. He didn't feel it before.

The two countries saw his confusion.

"But, that's okay," Phillippines said.

"As long as you're alright," Canada said.

North Korea swam in his mind for a little. I am still a half cat. Why don't I know it sooner? Does this has anything to do with that sudden icy pain on my chest? Am I really alright?

Canada looked at North, worried and scared. He still remembers about yesterday when North was fighting with America. He afraid North will burst out his anger and losing his control like yesterday again to them.

"I think so," North Korea said, with a small and slightly hesitant voice.

They looked at North. The gleam in his eyes showed no harm but friendlyness. Maybe a cold and rude someone like North Korea can change soo fastly.

"Okay, let's go to the cafetaria! I'm hungry," said Phillippines, laughing, and brushing off all the unhappy feeling.

North Korea along with Canada and Phillippines went to the cafetaria together. They bought milks and sweet foods. After it, they sat together below a tree near the cafetaria.

"What a nice day," said Phillippines happily as he picked a caramel popcorn.

"And, delicious cookie," said Canada, munching his cookie.

North Korea laughed along.

In that bright morning -almost afternoon- they chat various topics. Their favorite tv show, video game, their brothers, their type of girl, and even about North Korea's nuke plushie. Even though Canada and Phillippines felt kinda strange because North didn't feel bothered by that embarassing topic. Until finally, they remembered something.

"Where should we meet?" Canada asked.

"Huh?" Phillippines said.

"For our assignment..."

"Oh yeah!"

"Let's meet in the weekend," North suggested.

They continued and finally made a decision of when and where they should meet. And then, a tune of the bell could be heard, indicating that it was time to go back to their class.

Should I give you cliffhangers? YES, I SHOULD!

The three were walking through the school hall. It was not really crowdy that time. They took a turn around the stairs to reach their class. But suddenly, North Korea stopped on his track. He didn't say any word or make any move. Canada and Phillippines behind him looked at each other and back to the korean.

In their confusion and worryness, suddenly, North Korea fell on his knees.

Sorry for the cliffhanger~ See you in the next chapter <3
