"¥1,000,000!"

"I'm telling you miss, we won't acce-"

"Then ¥10,000,000!"

"Miss, don't raise it!"

"How much do you want? ¥100,000,000 or ¥1,000,000,000 perhaps?"

You might be wondering what's happening right now, let me show you how it all started.

"But I want to buy that game!"

"We can't!"

I could hear some yelling from outside the restaurant I was in.

"Excuse me for a moment" I excused myself as I left the restaurant to inspect what was going on.

Leaving the restaurant, I followed the direction of where I had heard the voices to see mini versions of Nezu.

"Nezu's brothers?" I gasped, catching their attention.

"You're Nii-chan's friend" They both said at the same time. I've met quite a lot of twins lately, I'm one myself.

"What are you doing outside of a restaurant? Could it be that you got lost?!" I gasped once more.

"N-No, it's not that. We actually just came here to look at something." one with a yellow shirt said.

"What's going on there, Y/n?" I heard.

"Oh, it's nothing! I'll be there in a second!" I shouted.

"Let's go inside the restaurant first, it's not safe outside, especially if you came here without your brother." I said as I gestured to the entrance.

They seemed hesitant at first, but they entered eventually. I followed behind them.

"Now that I realized it, I didn't catch your names." I said.

"My name is Suekichi, that's Kichi!" Suekichi said as he pointed to his brother. Suekichi wore a purple shirt while Kichi wore a yellow shirt.

"My name is Inomata Y/n, call me Y/n. Are you two hungry? Let's go get some food if you are." I suggested.

"B-But, we don't have any money on us." Suekichi mumbled.

"Don't worry about it, I'll be the one paying." I pointed to myself with a smile.

"What would you two like to order?" Mr. Daiki asked the two boys.

"W-We're fine with whatever Y/n wants." Kichi stammered.

"Don't be shy to order. Order anything you like, I'm the one paying, so you shouldn't worry. Plus, as long as your bellies are full, I'm happy." I placed a gentle smile on my face.

They nodded and returned the smile before ordering what they truly want on the menu. We took a seat and waited for our orders to come.

"Anyways, you guys came here to look for something, right? Could it be that you couldn't find it? I know this mall quite well, I could lead you to it." I offered.

"Well, we wanted to check this game and see how much it is, but it was too much so we thought it wasn't worth it." Suekichi explained.

"Here are your orders." Mr. Daiki placed our orders on our table. I thanked the hard-working man before digging in.

"Make sure to eat plenty. If you want more, don't be shy to ask." I informed them.

"Ms. Y/n-" I cut Kichi off.

"Call me Y/n." I reminded.

"Y-Y/n, why are you being so nice to us?" Kichi stuttered.

"Huh?" I said, confused by what he meant.

"W-Well, we're not rich or anything, so we can't give you something in return for everything you've done, so...why are you being nice to poor people like us?" Kichi mumbled.

"No reason." I shrugged.

"You should start eating, your food is gonna get cold." I pointed to their food. They nodded and began eating.

My phone then begun to play my ringtone. Taking it out of my bag, I looked at the caller's ID to see Hayato's name.

"Excuse me for a moment." I said as I exited the restaurant and went outside to take the call.

"Heyaaa!" I cheered.

"Where are you right now? I'm already at the mall." he informed.

"Well...uhm...you see..." I tried to find the right words to say.

"What did you do this time?" I could hear the annoyance in his voice.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ֎ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

"Idiot." Hayato flicked my forehead.

"I got hungry waiting for you! And then, I saw Nezu's brothers and I wanted to treat them to something." I mumbled.

"That's fine, I guess. Sorry for being late. Taka wouldn't leave me alone." he apologized as he took a seat next to me.

"Suekichi, Kichi, this is Kamitani Hayato." I introduced him to them.

"Ne, we're going to watch a movie later, right? Can we bring Suekichi and Kichi?" I asked.

"Wh-"

"Pretty please? With a lollipop on the top." I begged with a pout. He sighed and placed his hand on my top of my head.

"Do what you want." he sighed while I cheered.

"What movie would you two like to see? Horror? Drama? Comedy? Oh, do you perhaps prefer Action?" I asked.

"A-"

"We can't! I'm sorry, but you're doing so much for us. It's not like we don't appreciate it, but we have nothing to give you in return for all of this." Kichi said.

"I'm not expecting anything in return." I told him.

"Suekichi, you were going to say action, right? Action it is then. Is that okay with you, Hayato?" I asked him. He looked at me and nodded.

"Yay!" I cheered once more.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ֎ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

"I seriously don't get why they run upstairs instead of running outside. Horror movie logic." I rolled my eyes.

"They also don't bring a weapon when they go upstairs." Hayato groaned. This movie was an action movie with a little bit of horror in the beginning.

The cinema room was extremely dark, you wouldn't be able to see anything if it weren't for the guide lights and the movie screen.

"Ouch" I heard. I turned to see Kichi rubbing the back of his head while Suekichi was gritting his teeth at the people behind us.

"Is something wrong?" Hayato asked.

"It's nothing, just bumped my head" Kichi chuckled nervously.

"The people at the back are kicking our chairs!" Suekichi shouted.

"The actors look so dumb! Seriously, do they even try?"

"I know right?"

The two adults behind us are extremely noisy. They seem to be around their early 20's, they're both females.

I inhaled and exhaled to calm my mind. I don't want to cause a scene in the theater.

"Ignore them. Inform me when they do it again. It was probably by accident." I said, leaning against the back of my chair.

The intense battle between the murderer and main protagonist is about to begin, I don't want to miss it.

"You did this to my family! You did this to innocent people! Why? For fun?"

"This world is filled with disgusting humans. No, they're not even humans, they torture people and back them into a corner for their own sake. All humans must perish. I'm the one who shall rule, then humans will live peacefully"

"No...you're not even human yourself. People like you will destroy our world."

'They're finally going to reveal their past!' I thought as I sat on the edge of my seat.

"This is so damn dramatic. How dumb."

"Like seriously, just fight already. What's the point of talking? It's so damn boring."

They...they...the two ladies behind us just talked over the dialogue. It was my chance to learn their pasts and figure out the outcome. It was my chance to finally understand both characters.

"Here" Hayato handed me my drink. It does have sugar in it, it could help me calm down.

I thanked him with a smile and sipped it. I then focused on the movie and I would take small glances at Kichi and Suekichi.

Ever so often, I would gently smile at them when I saw the huge grins on their faces. It warmed my heart.

"I'm going to the restroom for a bit, do you want anything?" Hayato whispered.

"If you could, could you please get me another drink? Wait, let me ask Kichi and Suekichi." I said, leaning over to the twins.

"Do you two want anything? A drink or popcorn?" I asked. They shook their heads and told me they're full.

I nodded and told Hayato what they said. Hayato left to go to the restroom and buy my drink.

Right now, I bet something intense is going to happen soon since its been awfully quiet in the movie.

I was right! The not so bad villain barged into the main protagonist's house after he found out that they were long lost siblings.

"Yeah, what's up, babe? Oh, the movie's so boring. It's not even that great."

Is...Is someone taking a phone call in the cinema? Do they know that they're disturbing people who just want to have a good time?

Do they not understand what they're doing? Are they just mindless zombies doing what they want without determining if it will affect others?

"Here's your drink. Careful not to drink too quickly." he reminded. Sometimes, he could be such a mom.

"Okay, Hayato." I smiled at him. He seemed surprised since he turned away and just nodded.

"I know right!" the person behind me kicked my chair, causing my hand to release the grip around my drink.

The drink spilled all over me...

It drenched my clothes...

I worked hard to look good for Hayato...

Hayato bought this drink for me with his own money...

"Y/n-neechan!" Kichi gasped.

"Are you okay? Do you need some tissues?" Suekichi frantically asked.

They're ruining the movie...

They disturbed us...

Do they have even have a small amount of respect?

They're adults, right? Shouldn't they be our role model?

"Oh..." Hayato mumbled as I stood up with my drenched clothes.

"Hey, what the hell?!"

"We're watching here!"

The two of them yelled as they threw popcorn at me, at least that's what I think they're throwing at me.

"Eh?" I turned around, staring at them as if they were some kind of unwanted insect.

"Did you really come here to watch the movie or be little sh-" I cut myself off, remembering that there were children here.

I noticed how Hayato told them to cover their ears. I'm glad he did that, so now I don't have to worry about Suekichi and Kichi thinking of me as a bad person.

"If you're only here to annoy people then I suggest you get the hell out. You're ruining our fun here and you don't seem to even like the movie to begin with. If you don't like it, then stop whining and leave! You're adults, right? Why the hell does it seem like I'm the freaking adult here? Kicking chairs, talking over the movie, taking a call while the movie is playing, and making me spill my drink...you really are pieces of crap! I'm sick of hearing 'You're a kid and I'm an adult, you should respect adults' and all that crap, why don't you learn some respect first?!"

I panted heavily. Letting out everything I was holding in makes me relieved, but it also makes me somehow exhausted.

The two girls shrieked and dashed out of the dim cinema. I sighed and turned back to the movie screen to see that it had already ended. I stared at the screen, watching the credits roll in.

"Eh? The movie ended already. That was quick." I mumbled. I then remembered what had happened just a while ago.

"Hayato, what did I say this time?" I panicked. He walked over beside me and sat down.

"Nothing too bad. If you'd asked me, it's what they deserve." Hayato replied. I was glad he said that, but what does Suekichi and Kichi think of me now?

I'm sure they heard a few words. They probably hate me right now. I hate this stupid trait I got.

"That was so funny" Kichi laughed, he quickly covered his mouth to hold in his laughter.

"They deserved that" Suekichi laughed as well.

I stared at the two boys trying to hold in their laughter. My lips curved upwards into a smile, I guess some people might accept me for who I am aside from Hayato.

"You might not like it yourself, but that's not what others think." Hayato placed his hand on top of my head and ruffled my hair.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ֎ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

I had to go buy new clothes, but since I'm drenched in juice,  Hayato had to go and buy it for me while I waited in the restroom.

"It's Hayato, here" he knocked on my door. I opened it and thanked him before grabbing the clothes and changing into it.

After I was done changing, I exited the restroom to see Hayato waiting outside.

"Thanks for helping me out, Hayato" I thanked him. He nodded and just held a handkerchief up to his nose.

Is his nose bleeding or something?

"Suekichi? Kichi?" I called out after realizing that they weren't with us anymore.

"They're over there." I turned to Hayato to see him pointing somewhere. I followed the direction his finger was pointing in and saw the twins staring at a window.

Hayato shrugged and we went to them. They seem to be staring at the game that's been trending for a while now.

"Do you want that game?" I asked.

"Wh-What?! No! We were just taking a look at it." Suekichi nervously chuckled.

"You're lying" I smirked as I poked his cheeks. He seemed to be embarrassed since his cheeks heated up.

"I'll go buy it for the two of you. Hayato and I have that game, we can finally form a party if we play together." I informed as I entered the store.

"Wait, it's fine! You don't have to-" Hayato cut Kichi off.

"You won't be able to stop her even if you try. Once she's made up her mind, she won't go back. That's the dummy she really is." Hayato sighed.

"Of course you know her better than we do, I expected nothing less from her boyfriend." Kichi stammered.

"No, we're not dating" Hayato informed them before they get any ideas.

"Oh! I'm so sorry for assuming!" Kichi bowed as he apologized several times.

"I'm sorry miss, but if you're going to be buying it for those kids over there, then I can't let you buy the game. This game is meant for 13 year olds and above and they don't seem to be in their teens." the man told me.

"Then I'll buy it for ¥500,000"

"Miss, that won't do"

"¥1,000,000!"

"I'm telling you miss, we won't acce-"

"Then ¥10,000,000!"

"Miss, don't raise it!"

"How much do you want? ¥100,000,000 or ¥1,000,000,000 perhaps?"

"M-"

"I'll even buy it for ¥10,000,000,000!"

"Please stop raising it! Fine I'll give it to you" he gave up and I paid him a million yen.

Since the game only cost around 15,000 or something it was pretty cheap. I gave the rest of the money as a tip.

"Y/n, why did you offer to buy it for 1 billion yen? I know you're rich and all, but isn't that a bit too much?" Suekichi asked.

"I would actually buy it for a billion yen if he didn't let me buy it. It was a win-win situation, that man really is dedicated to his job." I groaned.

"You shouldn't waste a bunch of money over a stupid game." Hayato flicked my forehead.

"Owie" I whined as I rubbed my forehead.

"And it isn't stupid at all! Suekichi and Kichi wanted that game, so I wanted to get it for them. It's not stupid at all!" I retorted.

"What's stupid is the fact that you were willing to pay a billion yen. That's what makes you stupid, idiot." he pinched my cheeks.

Later on, we went to a gift shop and bought a few stuff there. I learned that the twins were interested in soccer.

"What time is it?" I asked myself as I took out my phone to check the time. It's already 7 pm. I don't want them to get yelled at for passing their curfew.

"It's getting late. Should I call Nezu for you?" I suggested. They grinned at me and nodded. I smiled and dialled his number.

"Y/n? Is something wrong? Do you need help with your History lessons?" Nezu asked.

"No, I just wanted to let you know that your brothers are with me right now. I'm guessing you're still at your part-time job. We'll be passing by. Bye!" I ended the call.

"Are we really going to see where Chuukichi works?!" they both asked with sparkles in their eyes.

"Yeah. Since its getting dark, let's have dinner there." I suggested.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ֎ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

"I'm so sorry for all the trouble" Nezu bowed 90°. I giggled and told him to stand up.

"I actually had fun, right Hayato?" I looked at Hayato to see him nod.

"I'll pay you back someday. I don't have the money right now, but I will pay you back." he said with determination.

"The only way for you to pay me back is by working hard. So don't worry about it and keep supporting your family." I smiled at him.

"I should get going now, Onee-chan doesn't like it when I stay out for too long. See you!" I waved them goodbye.

"Y-Y/n" I felt a tug on my shirt. I turned around to see Suekichi and Kichi staring at me.

"Thank you so much for today. We had a lot of fun." they thanked me. I was surprised at first, but smiled nonetheless.

"I'm glad you had fun." I patted their heads.

"Now, don't cause any trouble for your brother, okay? I should get going, this is Hayato and I's username." I handed them a piece of paper before leaving.

The walk to my house was quiet. Hayato didn't say a word. He actually seemed kinda mad, at least that's what I think.

The only thing you would be able to hear were the sound of crickets and the street lights flickering.

"I'm sorry. I know today was for you and me, but I dragged Suekichi and Kichi along. I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Why are you apologizing? It's true you were an idiot today, but I'm used to that. After all..." he paused as he took a step closer to me.

"I love seeing this side of you" something warm pressed on my forehead.

"See you tomorrow" he stuffed his hands in his pockets before leaving. I stared as he walked away until his silhouette disappeared.

I placed my fingers on my forehead and traced the part where he had pressed his lips on.

I brought my hand back in front of my face and just stared at it before placing it on top of my lips.

Realizing what I was doing, I slapped myself back and covered my face in embarrassment.

I entered my house and slipped off my shoes, making sure to arrange them since I don't want Onee-chan to trip later on.

"I'm home! I'm not hungry by the way!" I announced as I ran upstairs and slammed my bedroom door.

Jumping on my bed, I grabbed one of my pillows and wrapped my arms around it.

"I love seeing this side of you"

His words echoed in my mind as my cheeks turned into a shade of pink and it immediately switched to red.

"Gahhh" I groaned as I couldn't control my blush.
