THE NEXT DAY

EARLY MORNING

Caroline : You guys are early(annoyed)

Caroline stared at the two guys standing infront of the door of the shop.She was still in her pyjamas and her hair was all messy when she opened the door for the two guys

Hiiro : Good Morning.Yes,we are early because we would love to have breakfast here(laughing)

Caroline : I havent  even bath yet (rubbing her hair)

Shinn : Rise and shine Caroline-san.

Caroline : Come in you guys.Aya and Takeru are preparing at the back while Mika and Haruna are still upstairs.It’s 7 in the morning man!,did you even sleep?

Hiiro closed the door and walked to Shinn whom are already sitting at one of the table.

Caroline : Aya-san~~!! Them two guys are here already!

Aya : What guys????

Caroline : These guys.

Aya was at the kitchen’s door frame and she saw HIiro and Shinn seated at the table.

Aya : Eh?Good Morning you both!Very early!Even Yabuki and Aiko are not even here yet.

Caroline whom are still  in her sleeping clothes took a seat infront of Hiiro and slumps her head on the table

.

Caroline : I am sleepy (sigh)

Aya : Did you get your tea Caroline-san?

Caroline : I did I did.I hope it helps (laughing)

Suddenly Haruna,wrapped in her blanket came running down from the stairs and literally,she didn’t realized the guys are there.

Haruna : Caroline!Caroline!I forgot where I put my my iPod damn it where is it!Have you seen it!?Dont tell me I lost it!No no!I spent 5 hours gluing all the decorations!Please say you have it!!!

Shinn and Hiiro looked at Haruna whom are still in her pyjamas standing infront of them,not realizing their existence.

Caroline : It’s in my bag Harunaaaa.(yawning)

Hiiro : Good Morning?

Haruna stopped babbling and she turned to the guys and stepped back.

Haruna : Crap,when did you guys came?!

Shinn : Just about 5 minutes ago.

Haruna : (yawning) I am so sorry I didn’t see you guys here and sorry you had to see me like this.I am still sleepy damn it.

Hiiro : (laughing)

Caroline : Come on Haruna,lets go and take a bath.I don’t think I can fight this sleepiness.

Haruna : What the heck are you guys doing here so early?

Hiiro : Early breakfast sounds good here.

Shinn : Is Mika awake?

Haruna : In fact,yes.She even took a bath but she went to sleep again.

Mika : I am awake alright,Haruna.

Four of them turned to the stairs to find Mika  going down the stairs.

Mika : Why did you wrap your blanket around your face too?

Haruna : It is too cold !

Mika : And why the heck are you both here?

Shinn : Early breakfast?(laughing)

Mika : (annoyed)

Caroline : Im gonna go up and…and….take a bath.Bye bye~

Haruna : Im going too

Mika : Are you guys going back?

Shinn : Back?To?

Mika : To Tokyo of course where else

Shinn : Without you?No.

Mika : Hah?

Hiiro : (laughing) He is not going back to Tokyo without you Mika-san.

Mika : And why is that?

Hiiro : Ask him*grins

Shinn : Because,I came here for you.Simple.

After breakfast……

Mika was sitting at the same table as Shinn and Hiro while Haruna and Caroline are packing to return to the Inn.Yabuki and Aiko are back at work and as usual,they are busy with the customers.Takeru and Aya on the other side ,are in the kitchen.

Hiiro : (looking at Mika)

Mika: What?

Hiiro : No just that,you didn’t tie your hair these days.

Mika : What does that suppose to mean?

Hiiro : No,no nothing (laughing)

Mika: So,when are you gonna tell Haruna about it?

Hiiro : About what?

Mika : Don’t play dumb Hiiro,we all know you guys like each other.

Hiiro : I like her,yes.But how do you know she likes me?

Mika : Dude,exactly how old are you again?

Hiiro : 30

Mika : Then act like you are 30 years old then.Can you see it?(annoyed)

Shinn :  (laughing)

Hiiro :Whaf it I got rejected?

Mika :Trust me,you wont.It’s Haruna you are talking about.

Shinn : Alright,alright.End of discussion.

Shinn got up and he suddenly took Mika’s arm and ask her to follow him

Mika : Wait,wait,Where are we going?

Shinn : Lets take a walk(smiles)

Hiiro : I’ll wait here then.Go you love birds.

Mika : Shut up Hiiro.

Shinn then pulled Mika’s hand brought her outside of the shop.

Mika : (hesitating)

Shinn : Why do you look like you so nervous?

Mika : Excuse me?

Shinn : (leaning close)

Mika :OH come on,lets walk.

Mika quickly turned around and started walking without any second thought.She was indeed quite nervous to be alone with Shinn after what had happened yesterday. After all,she must get used to it in time she thought.

Shinn :I have something to tell you.

Mika :???

Shinn : Did you realize we have met before?I mean even before you showed up on your first day of work?

Mika : We did?

Shinn : As a matter of fact,we bumped into each other several times .

Mika looked at Shinn with a puzzled face .

Mika : I am lost now.When exactly?

Shinn : Back in the hospital.

Mika stopped walking and said nothing.

Shinn : You remember?

Mika : (thinking)….you were the guy with the blonde hair?

Shinn : (laughing) Good memory you have there.Yes,it was me.I barely recognize you at first because you had your hair down before,compared to when you were working for me.

Mika : Now,it make sense…

Shinn : what?

Mika :Wait,were you the one who bumped into me back in the cd store?You know  back in Tower Records?

Shinn looked at Mika and suddenly he laughed.

Shinn : You remembered me.

Mika : (shocked) You were everywhere indeed.

Shinn : well,we’ll put that aside.Right now,I am here.With you

Mika: And…

Shinn : And that will stay as is. I am not gonna let you fall for any other guys out there.

Mika : And how do you ensure that you wont fall for any girls out there?

Shinn took Mika’s hand and pointed at the ring.

Shinn : This.
