{3rd Person’s Point of View}

You were in charge of cooking for the next day, and that day is today.

You woke up early and wore your (preferred color except for black) longsleeves and black jacket.

You paired it with a comfortable (preferred color) (pants / leggings).

You were carrying your cooler and headed out your room. You quietly closed your door and locked it.

“(Reader)-chan?” a soft voice called out to you.

You turned your head and saw Megumi in her pink pajamas. ‘Cute.’ you thought while she rubbed her eyes.

“Megu-chan. I’m sorry did I wake you up?” you asked smiling at her.

She smiled and shook her head. “No, I couldn’t sleep after what happened yesterday.” Megumi replied. “Are you going out?”

You replied with a nod and smile, Mhm, I’m headed to the market.”

“The market?! Can I come?” Megumi asked beaming. You grinned widely.

“Sure, I’ll wait for you outside.” you replied. Megumi nodded rather, enthusiastically before rushing to her room.

You waited outside the dorm while fiddling with your phone. “(Reader)-chan?” you heard Megumi called out so you looked up and saw her wearing a cute black outfit.

You smiled and held your hand out to her, which she gladly took. “I just remembered a while ago, (Reader)-chan’s assigned to cook breakfast!” Megumi beamed.

“Yep, I’m glad you’re coming with me. I’ll need Megu-chan’s help in choosing the best fish.” you said. Megumi panicked while blushing.

E-Eh? But I’m not good at choosing fishes. Well, yes I grew up in a harbor but- Eh?” Megumi said not knowing what to say.

You giggled at her and gave her a head pat. “There’s no need to panic, just choose what you think is the best. How about that?” you asked raising both brows while smiling.

“That sounds great (Reader)-chan!” Megumi replied.

✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨

“Great choice Miss! These are the freshest fish we have!” the vendor told Megumi while giving her a thumbs up.

Megumi’s face lit up as she turned to look at you.

You smiled back and gave her a thumbs up. “Good job.” you replied causing her to smile wider.

“(Reader)-chan I’ll help in carrying those!” Megumi said and tried taking the basket from you. You then stopped her.

“I can carry it! I’m strong Megu-chan.” you replied causing Megumi to giggle.

While walking side by side, you noticed Megumi looking at a few people playing with hoverboards.

“Do you want to try riding one?” you asked her.

This caught her off guard, E-Eh? What were you saying (Reader)-chan?” Megumi asked.

You chuckled at her reaction, “Do you want to try riding hoverboards? Like that one.” you said pointing at one girl who did a trick using the hoverboard.

E-Eh no! I was just looking at ‘em.” Megumi replied blushing.

You laughed and held her hand before approaching the group of people who were playing with hoverboard.

“Hey excuse me.” you called out.

“(R-R-Reader)-chan! You don’t have to.” Megumi said.

“What’dya wan- Oh! It’s Yamaguchi-sama!” the boys said.

“Yo Yamaguchi-sama, wha’dya want with us?” the girl asked.

“Your hoverboard looks new, can I have it?” you asked.

“Hah? D’ya know how-” you cut the girl’s words off.

“I’ll pay twice the price.” you said holding two fingers up. “Do you accept checks or-?”

“Great, here! It’s a deal.” the girl said and shoved the hoverboard to you.

You smirked when she gave you her name, you wrote it in the check and gave it to her.

“Let’s go?” you asked Megumi who was pouting while getting teary eyed.

“(Reader)-chan I told you not to!” Megumi cried out.

You laughed and pinched her cheeks, “If you still want something I’ll give it to you. So, do you want me to teach you or not?” you asked.

Megumi’s eyes widened. ‘T-This scene is like from my shoujo manga! And it’s happening right before me.’

‘What do I say? What did the heroine told her instructor?’ Megumi thought before snapping back to reality.

“Please teach me (Reader)-sensei!” Megumi replied fired up.

You were taken aback by her sudden change of mood but shrugged it away.

You thought her how to use the hoverboard, she was slow to pick up but didn’t give up.

Finally after an hour, Megumi finally learned it. “Let’s go back to Polar Star?” you asked as she nodded happilly while carrying the hoverboard.

✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨

“We’re back.” Megumi said as she opened the door. You chuckled before heading to the kitchen, still followed by Megumi.

“I’m going to help (Reader)-sensei.” She told you; determined. You smiled at her and helped her wear an apron.

{Megumi’s Point of View}

(Reader) went behind me to tie my apron into a ribbon. I don’t know why my heart was beating fast.

‘Do I like (Reader)? Is that even allowed?’

“Megu? Megu-chan... Megumi?” 

(Reader) called out snapping me out from my thoughts. “How is it? Is it too tight or loose?” she asked.

I felt (Reader)’s breath on my neck, I blushed and immediately backed away.

I was surprised as to why and when I looked at (Reader) she was staring at me confused.

‘I can feel my cheeks burning up...’

I shook my head slowly, “I-It’s fine (Reader)-sensei... Thank you.” I replied.

(Reader) grinned at me and once again my heart beated fast like I was in a marathon.

‘D-Do I like (Reader)?’

‘What if I do?’

‘She won’t like me though... Everyone loves her. She’s perfect and I’m full of flaws.’

I looked at her, she had her ponytail between her lips. She was combing her hair using her hand before taking the ponytail out of her lips.

Her (eye color) orbs met mine,

I immediately blushed when she grinned at me.

‘Thump’

‘Badump’

‘Thump’

‘Badump’

Thump’

‘Badump’

I can feel my own heartbeat, wait...

The Shoujo manga said if you imagine kissing someone and wanted to throw up,

Then it’s confirmed that you don’t like her or him.

‘Should I?’

I looked at (Reader) who was taking some bowls out of the cupboard. My eyes drifted unto her lips,

‘They look soft...’

💭

“(Reader)-sensei, I don’t know what I’m feeling but when I look at you. My heart beats fast.” I said.

(Reader) looked at me before smiling and pulling me by the waist.

“What’s this? Does Megumi likes me?” she asked.

“I- I think so?” I replied and blushed when (Reader) leaned closer.

‘And closer...’

I gulped and closed my eyes.

💭

“Megumi? Are you alright? Are you dizzy?” (Reader) asked me snapping me back to reality.

‘Ahhhh! I can’t believe I thought of kissing (Reader).’

“I- I... I’m sorry!” I yelled and ran off.

I went to my room and looked at the mirror. “What am I doing?” I asked myself. My hand unconciously touched my lips.

‘Come to think of it... (Reader) always helped me ever since. I haven’t even thanked her properly. And here I am imagining (Reader) kiss me. But-’

“I didn’t throw up... I even closed my eyes...” I mumbled and blushed.

“I like (Reader)-chan?”

{3rd Person’s Point of View}

You scratched your eyebrow and went back to preparing the bowls.

“(Reader)-chan!” Someone yelled.

You were startled causing you to drop the aluminium bowl you were holding.

It dropped on your feet, but you couldn’t react as a blush spread on your cheeks.

That someone who called you was, Yuki. “(Reader)-chan? Are you dead?” she asked poking your cheek.

I- Sorry. I’ll prepare the food right away.” you replied.
