A bit teaser for you: Miss Kojima will have a role in future episodes.
Anyway, finally, 1 month after episode 5.... I finished with episode 6!!!
I managed to deliver this episode thanks to my RL friend who has been helping me with ideas (Brainstorming time with you is always gold, girl) as well as Deukie (a.k.a. LoyalFlutist) for the suggestions and proofreading. To be honest, I feel uneasy about this episode because of the pace. And btw this episode is going to be the longest episode I've ever written for Virgin Love.
In the meanwhile, please enjoy Episode 6.
-------------------------------------
Episode 6"In a sentence, you have to check whether it has a verb or not. If it doesn't, you will have to use a 'to be'. However, you will use both 'to be' and verb if it is a passive sentence."
I'm trying to pay attention to Yuki-san's words as I jot it down on my notes. Ugh, English is so hard. Doesn't make it easier even when the one teaching it is Yuki-san.
"Is there anything you don't understand yet, Tomo?" It seems Yuki-san noticed how I look bewildered from his explanation.
"English is so difficult!" I lay my back on the floor from frustration. Yuki-san lets go a sigh and gives an understanding smile.
"Haha, it's not that hard if you keep on practicing. That's why I'm here."
I feel that I gain a little courage from his words. I raise my back up to the table and continue the lessons... until something flashes on my mind.
"Nee, Yuki-san, did you call me last night?"
Yuki-san looks confused. "Did I?"
"You did."
It seems that he doesn't remember about the prank call so I decide to show him my phone call received log. He stares at the screen for a little while when he suddenly remembers something as his eyes look like they're going to bulge out any moment.
"I-I-I, I did, huh..." He stumbles on his words and he is so flustered. Great.
"What's wrong, Yuki-san?" I watch him curiously.
"Nevermind!" He panickedly waves his hand. Is he trying to flee before I ask for explanation?
"Oh ho~ isn't this suspicious?" I flash a cheeky grin at him. He won't get away with this!
"N-no, seriously. How 'bout going back to the lesson, Tomo?" So now he tries to divert my attention. Not so fast, Yuki-san.
"Lessons can wait." I tell him as I start moving out of the coffee table and shift toward him slowly. Realizing what I'm trying to do, he moves backward, trying to run away from me.
"T-tomo?"
I let out a giggle when I say "Yes?"
"Umm..." He panickedly looks around for an escape route. Too bad for him, as he continues to move backward, his back finally hits the end (which is my bed, actually) so he can't no longer flee. I'm slowly crawling closer to him when my door is knocked.
"Tomo? Here's the tea."
I quickly move back to my previous spot, pretending that I'm still working on the exercise, before my mom makes her entrance. Meanwhile, Yuki-san seemingly still shocked from the sudden approach from me is frozen in his position like a statue.
"Mr. Kashiwagi?" My mom stares at Yuki-san dumbfoundedly.
It seems that Yuki-san is snapped back to reality with my mom's call. He stands up and tells my mom that he needs to use the toilet so my mom tells him the way.
It is when he goes out of my room that I realize how embarrassing it was. WHAT HAVE I JUST DONE?!
"OH God, did I attempt to seduce him to do indecent things... no no no no, I just wanted him to tell the truth about the prank call... that's all of it."
Yeah, here I am, trying to convince myself that I wasn't doing it because of a hidden desire. I hope that's just true because... I never thought tutoring session with Yuki-san can be this dangerous! Damn that Tomo~mi. I have a feeling that little devil had this calculated inside her dirty mind when she suggested to me to have private tutoring session with Yuki-san.
Yuki-san shows up not long after I'm finished with my internal self-cursing. He still looks extremely awkward and... can't blame him for it.
"I-I-I'm really sorry, Yuki-san." I stand up and bow my head to apologize for what I've done to him.
"A-ah... It's okay."
I slowly raise my back and face him without looking at him in the eyes, probably with my face blushing red from the little regret. I don't want him to misunderstand so I try to explain.
"I... just wanted to know... about the prank call."
I anxiously play with my fingers, waiting for his answer. If he's answering, that is.
"O-oh..." He scratches the back of his hair as he walks to the coffee table and sit back on his previous place so I follow suit.
He lets out a sigh before he opens his mouth to explain. "S-so... Last night, I went for a reunion with my old friends from the high school days."
"Uh-huh..." Ah, that explains the noise from his side of speaker.
"We had a little drinking... and as we usually do, we played a truth or dare game."
"And then?"
His eyes are restless and keep looking around nervously, probably wondering if he should tell the rest of the game that caused him to do that call.
"So, basically one of my senior dared me to do something and... that happened."
What's with that 'do something' thing?
"Emm, may I know what he dared you to do?" I ask him while staring at him curiously. It seems that my nervousness from before has disappeared. Good for me.
He looks at me for a while then blushes and looks away. "I-I'm sorry, I can't remember much about that."
“I see...” I guess I can’t push to tell him any more than this. Hmmph.
I open the exercise book again and suggest, "We should continue with the lesson, then."
He let go a relieved sigh. "A-alright."
We continue the session from what we left before, thankfully this time without any 'incident' occurs. Can't get anymore awkward from this, can we. After a while, Yuki-san looks at his watch to check the time.
"A-ah, it's already 7 o'clock. I guess this is the end of our first tutoring session."
Wow, time sure flies fast. I wait for him to take care of his belongings before going downstair with him. He is about to leave when my mom calls.
"Tomomi, please ask Mr. Kashiwagi to have dinner with us!"
What kind of development is this, dear mom. I shake my head as I smile at him.
"Well, you hear what my mom said, Yuki-san. Would you like to have a dinner with Itano family tonight?"
I give him some time to think when my dad makes his appearance behind my back.
"Mr. Kashiwagi, don't be shy! My wife has cooked enough for all of us." My dad puts his arm around Yuki-san's shoulder and drags him to the dining room while laughing. Yuki-san stares at me over his back helplessly. I just raise my hand up to my shoulder apologetically, silently telling him to just go along with my happy-persistent daddy while I follow them to the dining room.
As we reach the dining room, my mom already waits at the table as my dad asks Yuki-san to sit at the seat beside my usual place. What kind of situation is this?!
My dad grabs his utensils and announces, “Let’s not waste more time and start eating!”
During the dinner, I take a discreet look at Yuki-san who still looks very nervous. I let out a smile as I continue with my meal when my mom decides to open a conversation.
“So, Kashiwagi-kun, do you have girlfriend?”
Kashiwagi.........kun? What’s with the sudden intimacy?
Yuki-san is taken aback by the question as he lets out an “E-eh?” as a reaction. My mom then goes on with her little blabber.
“Well, Kashiwagi-kun is so smart and handsome. Of course, he already has a girlfriend. Nee, Kashiwagi-kun?”
Yuki-san can only smile sheepishly, hearing what my mom said. “Thank you for the flattering but actually I have never had a girlfriend, Ms. Itano.”
“Ehh~?! Really?” My mom just won’t stop with this, will she.
“Then, what about a girl you like?”
Yuki-san chokes on his food as he heard that question. I can sense him stealing a glance on me as I, too, choke on my food when I heard my mom’s question. That brings curiosity out of my dad.
“Why are you choking, too, Tomomi?”
Yep, the choking part, not the Yuki-san-glancing-at-me part. What were you thinking?
“Kashiwagi-kun, don’t rush when eating meal,” is what my mom says with innocent look. Yuki-san just nods his head while drinking the water. Of course, my mom doesn’t realize what she has caused (or maybe she pretends she doesn’t) and continues with the ‘interrogation’,
“Hmm, since you’re not telling about the girl you like.... How about the type? What type of girl do you like, Kashiwagi-kun?”
“What’s with the questions, mom?” I stare at my mom who just answers me with a wink. What the...
“I like a kind girl...” Thankfully, Yuki-san gives a generic reply... or not.
My mom is unsatisfied with his answer as she says, “Eh~ but ‘kind’ is so relative, Kashiwagi-kun~”, to which Yuki-san replies with a simple smile.
“Then, what about my cute daughter?”
Once again, Yuki-san chokes on his food while I protest to my mom who dropped the bomb without any warning.
"Mom!"
I give him a glass of water and rub his back to calm him. He becomes a little more relaxed and he takes a deep breath before he turn his head to me, looking embarrassed.
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it." I glare at my mom, to which she just answers with a teasing giggle. My dad decides to close the conversation as he tells us to finish the meal.
After we finish with the meal, my mom and I clean up and go to wash the dishes, leaving my dad and Yuki-san at the dining room. When we leave, my dad starts his talk with Yuki-san. Oh, poor Yuki-san. I try to listen carefully to their conversation, with my dad being the first one to strike.
"Mr. Kashiwagi, I shall be straightforward from this point so..."
Yuki-san gulps to the serious tone in my dad's voice.
"How long have you been with my daughter?"
OH MY DAD. WHAT.
"W-what do you mean, Mr. Itano?"
"Don't try hiding this from me, Mr. Kashiwagi. This is my fatherly instinct."
Yuki-san is probably trembling right now as he can't even respond properly to my dad's words.
"I-I-I..."
"C'mon, Mr. Kashiwagi. We're talking as fellow MALE creatures here. Tell me, how far have you two been in your relationship?"
Right now I feel like running to the dining room (which is just a few steps from the kitchen) to help Yuki-san so I quickly wash the dishes and leave right away as I finish. When I arrive at the dining room, I can feel how tense the air between my dad and Yuki-san.
"T-t-there's nothing between me and Itano-san, sir!" He puts up as straight face as possible. I can't help but letting out a sigh before I butt into their tension.
"Mr. Kashiwagi, it's already late so you should go home."
The tension between Yuki-san and my dad dissolves quickly as my dad flashes a grin on the nervous teacher and my palm cupping my face looking at my dad.
My dad shakes Yuki-san's hand. "Please come and have dinner with us again next time." And then he sneaks a wink for me when Yuki-san doesn't pay attention as I push him from the back toward the door.
When we reach the gate, I figure that I should pretend I have no idea what my dad and Yuki-san talked about.
"Yuki-san, sorry about my parents." Never thought they're that quick in picking out the thing about us.... not entirely, though.
The teacher with flushing red face just lets out a sheepish smile when he says, "It's okay."
"You know, I wonder what my dad asked you when I was with my mom washing dishes. Care telling?"
I thought his already red-as-tomato face couldn't be even redder--guess I'm wrong.
"No-nothing important."
"I see..." I decide not to pursue this further since I did listen to the talk. It seems that Yuki-san can't see me in the eyes as he keeps stealing a glance and quickly looks around afterward.
"O-okay, then, see you tomorrow, Tomo."
The flushing-red teacher is turning to leave when I grab his hand unconsciously. He turns around with an obviously visible nervousness.
"Y-yes?"
To be honest, I am also surprised with my hand's reflect. I bite my lower lips while thinking what I should say to him.
"Erm... ah right, thank you for the tutoring."
I don't know if my face is now turning as pink as his but at least it makes him let out a giggle when he sees it and he becomes a lot more relaxed afterward.
"It's been my pleasure, Tomo. I'm looking forward for the next session."
I just smile at him embarrassedly as I let go his hand.
"You better leave now, Yuki-san. It's really getting late now."
He glances at his hand that I held before he takes a deep breath and says, "I guess so. I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."
There's a hint of disappointment in his voice. Maybe he still wants to be here but I told him to leave too soon? I shrug that thought off and tell him, "take care" as he walks away.
I quickly return inside my home and go straight to my bedroom so I can avoid my parents. It's kind of scary to face them right now if they can just detect that both Yuki-san and I have crush on each other just by seeing our interaction.
I lay my back down on the bed and grab my phone. I send a message to Tomo~mi to tell her about my private tutoring session with Yuki-san, also I ask her if she had envisioned the little 'accident' we had back then. I'm not angry, actually, just curious.
While waiting for Tomo~mi's reply, I decide to send a message to Rena-chan, asking for her progress in approaching Yuki-san. I'm amazed at how fast I receive the reply from the smart girl. There has yet any message from Tomo~mi to come, that little devil!
I open the message from Rena-chan. It says:
"To be honest, I'm not really sure about it, Tomochin-san. You know how kind Mr. Kashiwagi is toward all of his students. ;>_<)"
I know, Rena-chan. Yuki-san is so loved by everyone in my class because he always takes care of our class so well even though he's new. I do wonder if it has anything to do with the essay we worked on weeks ago, though. At least, I did write a bit of my real side there, who knows about the others.
I'm thinking of a reply message for Rena-chan when a new message arrives. I open it to see that it's from a certain neighbor of mine.
"Good for you, girl. And to answer your question, yes I had.
"
As I finish reading it, I feel like throwing my phone right on her face--if only she's right in front me.
"You little devil!"
***
Our private tutoring session went for 2 weeks. Thank God that it went normally as the final exam for the term is coming close. I think my English has become slightly better, thanks to Yuki-san's patience in teaching. Tomo~mi occasionally came and studied together with us after my mom told hers one day in their afternoon tea that I had private tutoring session with Yuki-san. Of course, the well-endowed brunette wasn't really happy about that but even I understand her mom's decision since Tomo~mi is really bad at studying.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your quality time with Yuki-san, Tomochin." Tomo~mi whispers to me at the end of the last session, hoping that the mentioned shy teacher didn't hear her words.
I roll my eyes and pinch her cheeks as I tease her. "Nah, I don't really mind it since my best friend isn't the brightest girl in the world."
She pouts to my words and pinches my cheeks, having a revenge on me. "I don't wanna hear that from you."
"Don't forget that my grade is still way above yours."
We continue pinching each other's cheeks, not realizing that Yuki-san has been staring at our childishness, holding his laugh.
"You girls are surely very close friends."
Tomo~mi looks at me then grins at Yuki-san. "We are, Mr. Kashiwagi. I even know her 3-size in details."
Lies. I don't remember ever stripped in front of anyone including her.
"Don't listen to her, Yuki-san, she..." I stop in the middle of my sentence when I see his face flushing red with his jaw dropped. I smack Tomo~mi's head.
"That hurts!" She protests and glares at me.
I roll my eyes and point my finger to Yuki-san. "Look, what have you done, stupid."
Tomo~mi then proceeds to check the shy teacher who is now hiding his blushing-like-tomato face behind his palms. She giggles and lets out an "Oops."
I smack her head again. "Don't ‘oops’ me!"
"I told you that hurts!" She whines again as she pouts. I ignore her and move a bit closer to Yuki-san.
"Yuki-san, are you okay?"
He takes a peek at me in between his palms. Sigh.
"I'm sorry for what I will do to you, Yuki-san." And I pinch his arm, making him shriek from the little pain and release his palms from his face.
“It hurts, Tomo.” He pouts as he rubs his arm.
“Yuki-san, you pervert.”
I just give him a smirk when he suddenly blushes. I was wondering why until I realize how close the proximity between our faces is. I don’t know how long we stay in that awkward position. I only move backward after I hear Tomo~mi’s cough from the side.
“You know, I don’t wanna be a third wheel here so can you two keep this kind of thing just for your privacy?” She says while wearing this deadpan look on her face.
“W-w-w-what are you talking about, Kasai-san?!” Yuki-san is trying to deny Tomo~mi’s straightforward words while his face is already so red that I wonder how many red-cell blood he has.
“I guess next time we’re having this kind of study session I should just ask Masuda-kun to come along," says Tomomi as she shrugs her shoulder.
I can still feel the heat from all the blushing I had on my face but at least I'm already used to Tomo~mi and her teasing compared to Yuki-san, who is hiding his face again but unable to hide his flushing red earlobes, though. Meanwhile, Tomo~mi is giggling before I stare at her and punch her on the arm lightly.
I turn to talk to the flushing red teacher, "Like I said, Yuki-san, don't listen to that little devil."
Yuki-san slowly looks up and shows his face, looking at me with some sort of puppy eyes.
"Really?"
All of sudden, he acts like a kid. A very very cute one. Please excuse me while I'm barfing rainbow... oh wait. I have to fix this first.
"Yeah." I tell him as I glare at Tomo~mi, who gives me tongue in cheek.
It seems that he finally calms down as he gathers his belongings and prepares to leave. When he's done, Tomo~mi and I accompany Yuki-san to the gate.
"Jaa, good luck with the exams," says Yuki-san as he steps out of the gate.
"Thank you for the tutoring, Yuki-san. We really appreciate this." Tomo~mi discreetly looks at me when she said that 'we really appreciate this' line. I roll my eyes, knowing what she actually means.
I turn to smile at Yuki-san as I say, "We'll make sure to get good grades on English and make you proud," and winks.
Hearing my statement, Yuki-san smirks and pats my head (Thank God I can handle myself, unlike last time). "I believe you can get good grade, Tomo." Then he turns to Tomo~mi and pats her head as well. "Well, you have to work hard, Kasai-san."
Tomo~mi chuckles. "Yeah yeah, I know."
Yuki-san looks at his watch and hurriedly turns around to leave. "I'm really sorry but I have appointment with my friends. See you!" He says as he waves his hand and runs.
***
"Tomochin-san, I will confess to Mr. Kashiwagi after the last exam. I'm scared. >_<~"
Sigh. Of all times to receive this kind of message, Rena-chan, you just have to send it before our exam's last subject. I send her a short message.
"It's all up to your courage, Rena-chan. :3"
I don't know how I should encourage her since we're rival (although she doesn't know about it) but I guess that should do. It takes a little while before a reply message comes.
"You're right, Tomochin-san. Thanks for encouraging me! ^^"
I smile as I look at the message before I let out a sigh.
"I wish I can be as courageous as you, Rena-chan."
It's true. I envy her for having the courage to confess to Yuki-san. I bet you wonder why I have yet to confess to Yuki-san. I know I like him and he likes me back but to confess is another matter. He's still my teacher and I honestly think a love relationship between teacher and student won't work well. The society doesn't easily accept it.
I lay my head on the table, trying to not thinking about Rena-chan confessing to Yuki-san. It is soon the time for the last subject of the exam and I engulf myself in answering the questions, pushing all the thoughts away.
After I finish with the exam, I hurriedly walk out the class, ignoring Tomo~mi's call. I look for Rena-chan and quietly follow her from a safe distance. On my way, I see a certain puppy-like junior student following the honor student as well. Remember when I told you she rejected a junior back then? Yep, that’s him. I guess he’s a persistent kid, still chasing Rena-chan even after the rejection.
You’re asking me for his name? No, I have no idea about that. All I know is that he has same surname as Rena-chan, which is Matsui.
Anyway, back to Rena-chan. I (and the persistent puppy junior) follow Rena-chan to the school backyard, where a certain man on subject has been waiting. Both of us choose a hiding place that (we think) is safe to observe the confession scene in front of us.
"T-thank you for coming, Mr. Kashiwagi." Rena-chan stutters on her words as she strikes on Yuki-san. He just gives an awkward smile as a reply.
"Anou, Mr. Kashiwagi, I have something I want to tell you!"
Yuki-san seems a bit startled when the pale girl blurted those words. Nervously, he let out a "..Yes?"
Rena-chan takes a deep breath to calm herself before she says, "Mr. Kashiwagi, I-I-I I like you!" And she bows to Yuki-san who is now looking sad. He taps Rena-chan's shoulder gently and let his eyes meet hers as he tells her, "Matsui-san, I'm really sorry."
To be bluntly honest, I let out a slightly relieved sigh when I heard his rejection. Rena-chan looks like she's going to break into tears anytime soon but she holds it.
"Can you tell me why?"
Yuki-san takes a step back as he explains.
"A teacher can't have relationship with his student, Matsui-san. Social consequence awaits for those who break the norms. I don't want you to suffer from that kind of things, especially when you still have a bright future ahead."
I don't know why but I can feel tears flowing from the corner of my eyes. 'So he has the same thought as me...' is on my mind. I shake my head and erase the tears as I continue observing the two.
"But, Mr. Kashiwagi, I can wait!" Rena-chan cries, at last.
Once again, Yuki-san let out a sad expression as he tells Rena-chan, "I'm sorry, Matsui-san. I already have someone I like."
Rena-chan drops her shoulders. "I... see..." was the only thing she said before she runs, still with tears, and leaves Yuki-san standing on his place. I notice the younger Matsui stands up, looking agitated as he shouts at Yuki-san.
"How dare you hurt Rena-senpai!" He turns his back and runs to chase Rena-chan afterward.
I stand up to leave as well when I hear Yuki-san's shocked voice calling my name. I turn around to see his face filled with guilty feelings so I give him an understanding look as I move my lips in silence.
"I will wait."
---------------------
Okay.... Comments and critics are accepted, as usual.
I have started working on episode 7, but I don't think it will be finished soon with the current situation in my life. I'd like to apologize in advanced for that *bows*
