---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4 - After SchoolSae hurries his footsteps towards the small community playground in the neighbourhood. He wonders why Mako suddenly calls him after mid-night and urgently wants to meet with him.
The girl is sitting on the swaying swing, dangling her feet under the full moonlight.
"Makotin!"
"Sae-kun!" Mako waves with her carefree smile.
"Hello, let's see. So you suddenly wanted to play see-saws with me? Mou...I need my precious sleep!!!" Sae stomps the ground like a little kid, acting what he thinks is an appropriate role given the setting.
"O shut up!" the usual smack on the head ensues.
"I have a favour to ask from you." Mako got up from the swing and turns her back towards Sae to avoid his look.
"Can you, go on a date with Miki-chan tomorrow?" The casual tone of her voice only amplifies her unease.
Sae's face is riddled in confusion, a twisted expression that Mako didn't get to see with her back towards him.
"What's wrong with your head? You got a fever or something? I'm no peodophile!!"
Mako finally turns back to Sae in protest. "No, it's not like that! And Miki is 15 already! But that aside, I just want you to get to know each other...you know, as friends, but in a, you know, date..." Her voice trails off in guilt and regret.
"Is this a game on friendship or something? Bro's don't take each others beaus!" Sae looks around in case there is a dokkiri camera. "You love her, don't you? Even though you act like you don't, you do and I know it!"
"I....don't!" Mako suddenly gets defensive and shoots him a glare. "I am her friend only, so I want to give you guys a chance to know each other. She's like a sister to me.... don't break her heart!"
"Why are you doing this?" Sae roars back angrily but tones down his voice in case he wakes the neighbours up. "You know how much I love you and I will not do anything to see you get hurt. I can guess what's going on okay? I'm not stupid. She likes me, so I'll turn her down like I turned all the other girls down...and you can both live happily every after! Story done, time to go to bed!"
"I don't care what you think you know, but you must go on a date with her, tomorrow at 4 to the floral fair." Mako turns and runs quickly to avoid further confrontation with Sae, but he grabs her arm and they both fell into a puddle.
"O great...Mako," Sae sits back up in mud and looks annoyed to no end. "If that's what you want, I will do it for you. If you are too chicken to help yourself, then let me take your place as you wish. I will go out with her, kiss her, and do all sorts of things that'll make you regret."
"Sheeee..." A smiling old man appeared out of nowhere and helped them up. They don't really know the old man but he seems to be a neighbour they sometimes run into. Anyway, he doesn't look like a total stranger, instead, Mako's instincts even tell her that he's trustworthy.
"Sumimasen..." Mako was the first to apologise, realising how loud they must have been. Sae hurriedly bows down as well.
"O, no no, it's alright, I'm also taking a walk tonight...it's good that I finally run into some youngsters here, having fun in the park!"
"Fun?" Sae can't help but blurts out.
"O son, you look all messy after the fall. You must be tired and thirsty now. Here, let me grant your wish. And yours too," He looks at Mako in a warm smile. "Have a drink first." Out from his pouch, two cans of coke appear. The couple looks hesitant at first, but the man kept smiling at them, so they took them.
Sae has been thirsty after raising his voice and wrestling with Mako, so he's the first to pop the can open. Taking a big gulp of cool carbonated juice, he instantly feels refreshed. Mako glared at Sae, bowed a bit to show her gratitude towards the old man, and had her drink too. The man didn't say much more. He nodded back at the children with a smile and strolled away. The two wanted to call out but decided to just let him be. They also headed home without a single word with each other.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mako opens her eyes and tries to shut the alarm but it isn't at the usual place. She looks around and finally found it ringing at the desk.
So far away!! She thought as she tumbles out of bed and crawls to the other end of the room, stopping the source of her headache.
Now she's lying back down on the floor, staring at the ceiling. She recalls the unhappy fight she had with Sae last night, and sort of regretted what had happened. But wait...why did I end up in his house? She looks around her again and confirmed that the familiar surroundings of his room, though it is no source for comfort.
"Sae..." She calls out, but her voice is deeper than she expects. Did she really shout that loudly at him last night that she broke her vocal chords? Standing up, she is startled to find Sae looking back at her in a confused face.
"Stop scaring me..." She's about to lean forward to smack his head when she realises that Sae is moving in synchronisation. No, it's not Sae, it is... just a reflection in the mirror of...herself?
She covers her mouth in both hands in horror but the only thing she sees is Sae doing this same somewhat girly pose at her.
"Shit..." she whispers...in Sae's voice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, Mako heard her(Sae's) own scream piercing through the walls of the neighbourhood and reaching into her own ears.
"What's wrong with you Mako-chan?" Mum rushes upstairs and slides open the door, seeing a shocked and gaping Mako staring back at her.
"Nothing...I...just saw a fly."
"Can you stop scaring me to shits with your constant shouting and yelling in sleep? You're now even doing it in broad daylight!"
"Am I?" Sae, the person who's really possessing Mako's body, asked.
"Now get ready for breakfast, or you won't be able to make it on time."
Sae is still jaded after the door slides close behind him. Is this a joke? A body swap with my friend, my female...friend?
No shit! Sae suddenly rushes to the cabinet and opens the first drawer eagerly. Yes!! Bras!!! He took a pair of pink ones out of the drawer and rises it above him like he's examining some exotic jewellery.
"Gosh...how do I put this on?" He murmurs aloud.
The door slides open abruptly and Sae felt a kick right into his face.
"Awwww" He looks up and finds himself, holding the bra and fuming angrily at him. No that's not him, it's Mako in his body.
"Jesus, what else of me have you not seen already? Why are all boys so pervy??"
"I am not." Sae answers defiantly. "I am just, in a state of shock. So now, I have picked the pink bra...and by the way, the cup size is so small!...How do I put it on?"
"It's not small! And now is not the time!!" Mako exclaims. "We have to find out why this is happening and how we can get our bodies back!"
"I know I know, but if we are late for school, we'll get a double whammy since we just served a detention this week!!"
"Shit you are right! Fuck okay!" Mako rushes toward Sae and strips off his nightgown so she can get him dressed. She can't believe that baka doesn't know how to put on the clasps just because he can't see it from the front.
They both got ready in their uniforms and are about to run off.
"Wait," Mako said and Sae turns back and see his own face squished in agony.
"Is it really that bad to become me for a day?" He asks in an imaginary Mako voice, which turned out to be ridiculously high-pitched.
"I...I need to pee."
"So go."
"I can't, that thing....I don't know why it got large and I can't stop it!" Sae stares in the same direction as Mako down there and realised what's going on.
"O Baka baka baka! You're going to kill my body! You must pee or Saechan won't go down." He rushed her to the toilet and pushes her inside.
"I can't, it's pointing up..."
"For heaven's sake, just do it!" Mako hears her voice screaming at her and winces.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they finally made it back to school, Sae points at the panting Mako and exclaimed, "Your body is so.... weak..... you ....have....ab...absolutely.....no cardio strength!!"
"Stop criticising me," Mako wants to slap on his head but seeing her own precious body clearly driven to the max in their sprint towards school, she held back. "Your body is quite heavy too, you know."
"But...you...are....cl...clearly doing fine with it..." He shakes his head and starts walking towards his classroom.
"Not this way, stupid..." She yanks him back...then slowed down gently. "You go to my class and I yours. And don't walk like that."
"Like what?" Sae snaps as he turned towards the other direction, still strutting like a guy. Mako face palmed herself and thought how her cute image will be forever ruined.
"Oi.." Sae called back. "You should be lucky you have no basketball practice today." However, it's Mako's turn to gasp in horror, "But you have tennis today!!"
"O please don't! Don't ever cover your mouth like that like that! You are a boy, a boy okay?" Sae also felt his back break into sweat as he thinks how awkwardly girly he's going to appear among his friends today.
"Just don't talk at all and act cool...like you're pissed at everyone, okay?" He gave her one last advice before he strides off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 2-B classroom...
"Ohayou!" A girl greeted Sae and he instinctively tries to high-five her by raising both of his hands. "Yo man!"
The girl was clearly taken aback by this weird girl in front of her, who quickly realised that he should've just waved back. Sae lowers his arms and smile awkwardly.
"Good day!" He said in a most polite and warm tone.
After what seems to be a million "Good days", he found Nana and sat beside her.
"Ya...Yappo~~~" He recalls the expression they use to greet each other.
"Yappo!" Nana smiles back but eyes him for a longer while...
"Is there something on my face?" Sae ruffles his hair but realises he has just messed up the impeccable ponytail that Mako made this morning in a rush.
"Shit!" He exclaimed.
The aghast Nana was already surprised by Mako's weird gestures since she appeared in the classroom, and then she's now shocked that Mako swears in front of her, which she never does after the first day they met.
"Mako!" Nana turn his head to face hers seriously with both of her hands. Sae has never been a victim of her direct stare and this is the first time he's felt so nervous under Nana's scrutiny.
"'Shit' is a bad word. You should say, 'Oh no!'"
"Okay, chillax mate!" The girl in front of Naachan doesn't seem to take this schooling seriously at all.
"You can say 'chillax' in front of me and peers, but if you let this habit grow, you will slip up in front of sempais or even adults one day and that will be very impolite."
Nana continued to lecture the incredulous looking girl in front of her, while she wonders secretly if Mako has been so shocked by yesterday's events that she had turned into another person. Last night, she couldn't calm her mind at all from knowing about Mako's feelings. She thought hard on how she began to fall in love with her friend. What exactly is the turning point that made her realise that she's into her, more than a friend? Was it when she noticed the pout on her frowning face and that it started occupying her mind whenever she isn't doing something? Or was it whenever Mako tells her "You're the best" and instead of feeling satisfied, she feels frustrated? No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of one reason, or one single event, which led her to change her feelings....maybe, she's been in love all along, ever since they first met...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 3-C classroom
Mako puts on the most pissed off expression she can think of, but honestly, Sae's face is so pretty there's no way she can ever pull off an unlikeable face, she thought.
"Uhohohoho" A short guy climbs up the desk and jumps around like a monkey. She recognised it's Yukio.
"Yukio-san!" She beams her usual Kojimako smile and quickly regretted at her reflexive actions.
"Are you sick or something?" The true gorilla ruffles her hair behind her back and she turns and saw Akimoto staring intensely at her.
"Em." Mako remains tightlipped and nodded slightly, scrambling to her seat.
"Oi, Miyazaaa," Yukio said, "that's my seat."
Yabai, she must look so silly now! Mako wants to leave this classroom as soon as possible but she musters her courage to move to the side. "Gomen." She mutters and looks at nothing but her desk.
"Miyazawa-kun," A sweet voice approaches and she can see the thighs of a girl leaning on the edge of his desk. She didn't look up.
"Let's have lunch today?" She peeks up and recognises that she's Kasai-san, one of the many girls that Sae flirts with casually. She knows that if she's in character, she should say 'yes,' but she shook her head timidly.
"I think Sae's having a fever," she heard Akimoto approaching and shooing Tomomii off. "And you too Tomochin...not today." Mako glances up and saw the two girls leaving together disappointedly. She lets out a deep breath of relief, but wonders how many more girls she has to turn down today.
"Thanks." Akimoto frowns at this abnormally polite gesture from his buddy but didn't ask further.
The door slides open and in comes Kashiwagi Sensei. O god, why does it have to be her? Mako mentally imagines herself jumping off the window. But to her surprise, nothing much happened in class, and she took notes or pretended to take notes just to avoid eye contact with anyone. After getting back the quizzes, which Mako noticed how badly Sae did on, she heard his name being called to the front desk.
"Miyazawa-san. Please come to see me after school, your test grade is the lowest in class." Luckily she didn't say it out loud so only the two girls sitting in the front row giggled.
"Sensei...I believe, you have tennis club practice today." Mako reminded her timidly, eyes still staring straight to the ground like she's ready to pierce and fall through it.
"Oh yes, how forgetful of me. We'll discuss it in your weekend detention then."
As if it's Mako getting her own detention, she looks up in shock and finally met Kashiwagi's eyes.
"What? I thought you knew already? You didn't finish last week's homework in detention yesterday." She heard the two girls behind her continue to giggle.
"Yes..."Mako looks down again and nods. "Yes..."
Kashiwagi tilted her head at this rare sight of Sae, being aho, but in a different way. This boy never fails to fascinate her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the rooftop, Sae flings himself onto the bench and spreads his legs relaxedly like a boss. This lack of girly manners has obviously disrupted Nana's zen, but just when she's about to begin her lecture, Sae clears his throat and asks, "So...um...where's Mikichan today?"
"Miki? She has to prepare for tennis practice during lunch hour every Friday...are you really okay?" Nana's furrowed eyebrows caused Sae to apologise profusely. Boy, it must be hard to be Okada Nana ne, such an intense person.
"O no, Mako, don't apologise, I'm...I'm just really worried." She pulls him into her arms and gave him a tight hug. Sae has never been that close with a girl before, except Mako, which he never really treated as a girl. Naachan is quite skinny, so there's really....nothing to feel as he rest his head onto her. Somehow though, he's feeling extremely nervous and wrong. Why is Naachan being so sentimental today? Does it have anything to do with Mako's strange request to him last night?
At this moment, Miki made a surprised appearance and marches straight to the girls.
"Mako Mako!" Miki pulls Sae off from Nana. "You didn't tell me in the end...so is 4pm today at the floral fair a done deal?" Miki looks eagerly at him and it's the first time he notices how sweet this girl's smile is. Oh right....their supposed date!
"Y...Miki...you know what? Do you, have you...ever thought maybe, I dunno, guys sucks?" Sae starts mumbling and improvising. "Sae-kun is...Sae is..."
"He's stupid, I know, you told me that already!" Miki swings his hand playfully with a cute laugh.
What? That baka-maka calls ME stupid?
"Okay, he's not THAT stupid. He's a fun and cool guy...and smart-ish too, you know, in a...wait I'm babbling...I mean, yeah, I...I just don't think he's into you." Sae said it nonchalantly but he notices the disapproving look on Nana's face. Then he turns and finds Miki biting her lips and looks like she's about to cry.
"I mean....I mean he's not going to be into you if you don't try! So yes, meet him at 4pm you know, go....gonna catch 'em all right?" He gives a typical Sae wink (and bad joke), which only makes Mako look even more awkward but immediately relieves the whole situation.
"Thanks Makotin!!" Miki yelled. "Well, see you at practice today! And bye Naachan!" She rushes off the roof as quickly as she came.
"What a simple-minded child..."Nana looks into the distance lovingly. "I just hope, I just hope that things will turn out fine for you all."
"Naachan, Sae will, Sae must turn her down." There's a certain conviction in his voice that startled Nana. She sees Mako looking straight ahead into the distance solemnly.
"Mako.." she looks at him with a slight gape. "Are you...that determined to get Miki?"
"What? Wait..." Sae got caught off guard by Nana's direct questioning. Is Mako ever going to muster up the courage to love Miki? Even he doesn't know..."I er...I'm... not sure about...." He starts to stutter...
"Is it possible...that you only love her as a sister?" Nana continued to stare at him intensely.
There's a certain determination in her eyes too. A determination that means whatever he answers won't really matter to her. But he's too puzzled to answer as well. He starts wondering why Nana has such big, beautiful eyes. And the sunlight is illuminating her light pupils, giving her a mesmerising glow. She's a really attractive girl, he thought to himself objectively. If I'm a guy, I'll definitely go for her. Wait, I AM a guy....who just happen to be in a girl's body.....
Seeing the uncertain daze in Sae's eyes, Nana felt she has to courage to go on.
"On the other hand, my feelings are certain." Nana moves towards Sae locked his shoulders into both of her hands.
"I love you, Kojima Mako." She pulls him in and their lips locked together. Without thinking, Sae closes his eyes. At first, his mind is blank. But then, his instincts took control.
Nana felt Mako's lips slowly and surely, examining every part of it and becomes surprised at how closely it matches her imagination. Her kiss intensifies and she felt more confident on her impulsive action. She's now wrapping her arms around Mako's neck, who responds by cupping her hands round her waist, pulling them close together. Nana closes her eyes and start to savour every corner of Mako's mouth, who retaliates equally with her own kisses. To her surprise, Mako began to act fiercely, pushing her down the bench and taking a more dominant position. She broke her kiss from her lips and started kissing her cheeks and her neck.
The bell rung and interrupted the make out session, rudely waking the wild Sae up. He moves off from the person under him and sees a pink-cheeked girl with ruffled clothes and hair. Nana is looking away shyly but the smile on her face indicates enormous satisfaction.
"I'm..I'm sorry Nana." Sae frowns and straightens his own dress up. Damn it, this is my first real kiss and it feels real good...but shit!! I did it in Mako's body! With her friend, Naachan! And, what? Naachan is in love with her??
Nana also tidied herself and smiles broadly. "It's okay, I'm fine. I'm more than fine." She takes his hand and led him out of the roof.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're swinging the racquet too hard today!" Miki shouted across the court at what she thinks is Mako, but is actually Sae.
"Sorry, mate!" Sae apologises for the umpteenth time again and ran off court to pick up all the balls.
"Look, I've got to go now," Miki says, her mood hardly affected by the really bad play displayed by Mako(Sae) today. "it's almost 4."
She rushes off the court and Sae looks worriedly at her back, hoping that the date with his body, or Mako, will go better than the lunch he had with Naachan just now.
Mako is diligently early and waiting nervously outside the tennis club changing room. She's pacing back and forth and thinking how she can make Miki happy but also kind of turn her down at the same time. But what if, just what if Sae would actually fall in love with Miki? Mako shakes her head to clear of such weird and impossible thoughts and continues to pace back and forth.
Kashiwagi Sensei is just about to drop off some stuff at that practice room when she sees Mako (in Sae's body) pacing nervously outside. What's this kid doing outside the tennis club? She's about to go up and tease him before she sees Miki appearing from the changing room, all changed into a simple, but completely new, white sleeveless dress.
"Mikichan! You look so cute today!" Mako exclaims and gets a really embarrassed response from the flushed little girl.
"Thank you, Miyazawa-kun..."
Mako regains her composure and clears her throat, "Okay...let's go! Do you have the tickets?"
"Tickets?" Miki looks at Mako blankly.
Mako suddenly recalls that the tickets was stuffed in her desk drawer at home, and they completely forgot about it this morning.
"Yabai...." Mako's about to cover her mouth with her hand but stopped midway and instead clenches her fist. "Miki-chan, you know what...let's have a walk in the park first. I can get you ice-cream!"
"Sure!" Miki nods happily without thinking too much, and they both walked away.
Kashiwagi dropped her stuff off the room quickly and came out, following the direction that the couple went. Sae with Mikichan? Now that's a weird combo...The teacher is really curious at what they are up to, and without admitting it or knowing it, she's actually stalking her students now.
Mako recalls the usual routine she does with Sae, where they stroll in the park aimlessly, stopping once in a while to play with puppies taking a walk, getting ramune or ice-cream when they feel tired. Today, with Miki though, she can't relax at all, and she kept walking and walking faster.
"Wait up," Miki finally can't keep up and clings her arm around hers to slow her down.
"O sorry, Miki..." Mako scratches the back of her head, the only habit that both she and Sae share when they're nervous.
Suddenly, they saw a small boy running up to their direction and tripping over. Mako and Miki rushed to see if he's okay, but the boy is already crying.
"Mamma...mama..." They looked around but mama's nowhere to be seen.
"Don't worry, kid," Mako pats the dust off his body and makes sure he's not hurt. "It's a light fall. You're fine."
But the kid's cries only gets louder. Mako looks around to find something that might be able to cheer him up, but Miki started pulling the kid towards her and making a really unrecognisable funny face.
"Hehee..." the boy chuckles even though tears are still streaming down his eyes. Miki changes her face again, this time rolling her eyes back and pulling her grin upwards. Both Mako and the kid starts breaking into laughs.
"It's your turn!" Miki pats on the laughing Mako.
"O?" Mako points to herself and finally nodded. "Look!" She slips her tongue out and turn her nose up into a pig's snout. Because it's Sae's face, it's actually really easy to do funny faces and the effect is hilarious. The boy has already completely forgotten his fall and even let Mako carry him on her shoulders.
"O Wow, you're super light," Mako said her feelings out truly...but of course that's because she's possessing a much more muscular body. "You must eat more, okay?"
"I will grow up and become even taller than you!" The kid laughs and starts playing with her hair.
Mako looks down at Miki, who's beaming a bright smile at both of them. It's so wonderful to see you smile, and it's even more wonderful that we can share our joy together like that, on a date.
At this moment, the kid's mum appeared and thanked the couple before saying goodbye and walking off.
"Ah----tsukaretta!" Mako stretches and walks to the ice-cream booth. As usual, she orders one cone and took it back to the bench for Miki, who's waiting for her.
Grabbing the first bite, Mako smiles happily as the cool creamy block melts in her mouth. She finds that she's ALWAYS hungry in Sae's body and this bite of ice-cream was a life-saver.
"What about me?" Miki looks at the cone longingly, not believing that her date would actually just get one cone...and for himself only.
"What about you? It's all yours of course!" She took one more bite and hands it right to Miki's mouth, who instead hesitates and steals a shy glance at Mako.
"Huh? Come on, open it..." She nudges the ice-cream closer, and Miki finally takes a bite, tasting the coolness and smiling sweetly. Is that an indirect kiss? We are sharing a cone he just bit!
After finishing the cone, Mako notices that Miki has cream all around her lips.
"You're so messy, Mikichan!" Mako exclaims and wipes the stuff off with her napkin carefully.
"Now there you go...a pretty girl again..." She looks at Miki's face satisfactorily like she's just cleaned and restored some precious painting. Miki is sitting in front of the setting sun, the shade making it hard for Mako to look at her clearly, so she leans forward.
Miki is taken aback at how close Sae is to her, but as she's about to look away, she felt his large hands cupping around her cheeks. Miki feels her heart is going to jump out, and all she can do is close her eyes and wait.
Meanwhile, Mako's brain froze and her mind goes haywire. She closes her lips onto Miki's and an indescribable sweetness fills her senses. Is it the ice-cream? Excited by this rush of sugar, she swoops Miki right into her arms so that she's now sitting sideways on top of her lap and they began a round of kisses that are mostly led by Mako. First, it was just small, hesitant pecks, but having Miki completely enclosed in her own body, Mako gets more adventurous and drives deeper.
The taste gets hotter and stronger, like spices that might soon explode through her capillaries. Every kiss feels like a hammer pounding on her chest, except this only makes her heart beat faster, rather than stopping it. A numbness starts to take over her and it feels like her body is expanding and stretching to the limits of the sky...
However, Miki pulls abruptly from the kiss and moves away, her back turning from Mako and gasping for breath.
Like someone who is suddenly woken up from a sweet dream, the shocked Mako looks at Miki worriedly, not knowing if she's done anything wrong.
"Miki..." She whispers..."Are you okay?"
"It felt...it felt uncomfortable sitting there...well...see you next week, Sae-kun!" Miki answers and runs away, but no matter how hard she tries to hide by biting her lips, Mako notices a clear smile on her face, and her pounding heartbeat began to calm down a bit. She looks up to the clear, sunsetting sky and exhales deeply. What a crazy ride...
A sudden pat on the shoulder behind her back alarms her and cause her to turn around instinctively, but her eyes widen in horror.
"Miyazawa-kun, is this how you deal with all the popular girls at school?" It's the first time that Mako feels a glare can kill someone.
"It's, it's a big misunderstanding!" She protests immediately, thinking how this must make Sae look like a playboy.
Kashiwagi Sensei eyed coldly at the scorching hot area Mako's been covering with her hands and walked away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's the drink.." Sae (in Mako's body) mumbles at the dinner table when they gathered back home that night.
"What drink?" Mako looks up crossly, still flabbergasted at today's events. Sae's definitely going to find out what I have done today, and he's going to be super, duper mad. Can we even survive another day in each other's bodies?
"The ones the creepy old man gave us that night!"
"So, are you suggesting that we go back and find the old man to test out your silly theory?"
"Yes." Sae nods earnestly like puppy, which kind of looks cute in Mako's body but greatly ticks Mako off now.
"Goodnight..." Mako rolls her eyes and gets up to go upstairs, leaving Sae to pout on his own. Shit, he looks at Mako's phone again, which they have also swapped temporarily to go through the day. There are two mails from Nana and he dares not to open them yet. How....how do I tell Mako all this?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey wake up wake up!" Mako feels a violent shake--no-- she's practically thrown out of bed. Rubbing her eyes, she sees an elated Sae dancing in front of her. A Sae in Sae's own body.
"We got our bodies back without doing anything!"
Mako looks around and touches herself, feeling relieved to find her own body back.
"O God, I hope yesterday was all just a dream."
"A dream or not, let's go party now!!" Sae shouts in joy.
Mako laughs at the once-again genki Genking, and reaches for the table to check her phone. As she's about to unlock it, Sae grabbed it from her hands and hid it behind his back.
"What? Give it back! Don't tell me you drew funny faces on my screen!"
"Well, I sure hope it was just something like that..."
Mako's face finally frowned, and she eyes Sae cautiously as she sits down.
"Eh-hem...so......"
Both of them finally exchanged the things that happened to them yesterday.
"You did what?" was the phrase that they flung around each other as each transgression supersedes the previous one.
The shocked couple sat defeated with all anger against each other subsided and turned into horror, then despair, as they realised they have messed up pretty badly.
"Yuki is going to hate me forever now, thanks to your honest display of affections." Sae frowns and stated.
"Well, says the one who randomly kissed Naachan for no reason. You don't even like her!"
At this moment, Mako's phone buzz again with a third message from Nana. She sighs and opens all the messages, reading it one by one.
"I will have to meet with her today. And you too, you have one more hour to go before special detention."
Sae looks at the alarm clock on Mako's bedside and his face turns ashen.
"Good luck to us both then, I guess."
