6 P.M. @ Night The ace was now done with her interview. On her way out of the studio she had a chat with her co-star. “Ano..Takeru-kun, I have something very important to tell you.” “Yes? What is it?” He replied “I’m sorry..We can’t see each other anymore.” “Why not?” He asked sadly “I’m really sorry that I didn’t tell you from the beginning but before I met you..I was already in love with someone else.” “Ah..souka I understand, well you’re a really wonderful girl.. Whomever that is that has your heart is one lucky person.” “Aaa..Thank you so much for understanding; we can still hang out sometimes though!” “Ah yes,that would be nice..” He chuckled. “Well see ya! Be safe and tell Minami I said hi.” “Haiiiii! I will”. She shouted as they parted ways. Before heading back to the hospital to see Takamina, the ace stopped by the flower shop. “Excuse me sir, do you guys hold the flower called Forget me not?” “You’re in luck little lady! We actually have one left in stock.” Acchan was happy to hear that because that’s what the captain gave to her on Valentine’s day.. “Maybe if I get her these flowers,she will remember the feelings we shared.” The ace thought while smiling. “I can only be hopeful.” As the ace walks into the room, she stopped when she seen that Tomochin was still there feeding the captain. “I’m sorry,did I interrupt something?” the ace asked in a hurtful tone. “No..no..come in Acchan” Takamina insisted with a smile. “I guess I’ll get going now...” Tomochin stated. “Please..don’t go.” The captain pouted. “Gomen ne, Minami..I can’t because of work and all..you’ll get discharged soon so til then we can see each other ok?” “You promise?” “Don’t worry I’ll keep my words” Tomochin winked. “Wait, I need to speak with you outside the room before I go Acchan” The ace walked out with her. “Why did you make me to lie to her? She has the right to know who you are Atsuko.” “I can’t tell her who I am..I don’t want us to start out in bad terms.” “You have to tell her soon before she finds out your real name… and she’ll want to know more about what happened between you two.” “Thank you for not saying anything.” “It’s okay but I don’t want you to keep lying to her so..make sure you tell her. Okay I gotta go now so take care of her..Bye”
“Here, I got these for you.It’s called forget me not” Acchan handed the flowers to Takamina as she walked back in. “Sugggoii..it’s so pretty.” After smelling the flower and looking at it for a little. Takamina head started to hurt again, she lifted her hands to her forehead. A flashback is starting to happen again. (She sees herself handing the same kind of flowers to that unclear person.) “Minami, are you okay!? Should I get the doctor??” “No..It’s okay..the doctor says it’s normal but I hate it when my head hurts out of nowhere. Anyways never mind that... Today I asked Tomomi out on a date, would you and your boyfriend like to go with us?” Acchan felt a sudden heaving feeling in her chest like she couldn’t breathe anymore..when the captain told her. “Actually I broke up with him today.” “Eh! Why? You guys look so good together.” “Because…” Takamina waited for an answer..”Well you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to..would you like to join us with just yourself then? I want to know more about myself and I know I can count on you to tell me.” Acchan didn’t know whether to say yes or no..she didn’t want to witness the love of her life being with someone else. “Erm..okay then.” She agreed just to keep an eye on them.
Next day…Takamina was discharged and able to go home..her mom and dad came to pick her up. As she walked into her room..she thought to herself “Wow..it’s so pink in here..I guess I was a really girly person” she chuckled. She then jumped and lied in her bed. “Finally I’m home.” She said out loudly to herself. Next to her bed was a backpack, she was curious what kind of person she was so she decided to open it. In that back pack there was a ring and a balled up letter. When she had seen the ring and paper, her head begins to hurt again.. Another flashback; (She sees herself buying the ring for someone who really wanted it and she sees herself crumbling a love letter) After seeing another flashback she just decided to ignore it since it’s in the past. She was in the middle of opening the paper but was interrupted by a yell. “Minami! Acchan is here to see you.” Her mom yelled out. “Okay mom! Let her up here..” As Takamina yelled back,she dropped the letter on the floor forgetting about it. “Hi! Minami” the ace said excited to see her. “Hey, wait up here,let me go get you a drink and some snacks Acchan.” “Hai!” the ace said happily.
Atsuko POV First thing when I woke up, I went straight to Minami’s house. I couldn’t stand being away from her for one day. I wanted to see her every chance I get and try to remind her of who I am. As I walked into her room, she already offered me something to eat and drink. Ahh…she still the same old Minami, so sweet and caring. While waiting for her I found something on the floor, a letter. I really wanted to know what it says so I sneaked a peek. In that letter:It says she loves me but she didn’t know the words to say. It says that she never knew that she could ever feel this way and that she only wishes someday that I would feel the same. Tears start to develop in my eyes as I continued reading. I can’t believe she kept the sweetest secret from my heart for so long… I love her…but someone else has her heart now...We hung out all day, it was fun..she also met the other members.
Three days later.. “Acchan, are you ready for our three way date?” “Erm I guess so.. Where are we going?” “To the beach! It’s Tomomi’s idea” she said smirking. “Grr..I bet she just want to show off her body to Minami” Acchan dazed in her thoughts. “Let’s go Acchan!” They arrived to the beach in the afternoon... Tomochin begins stripping into her bikini right in front of Takamina.. “Wow..look at her,she’s a bombshell isn’t she?” Takamina asked nudging the ace.. The ace didn’t reply back but walked away mad. “Eh? What’s wrong with her?..” the captain thought. All day they lay in the sun, swam, and made sand castles. They also had drinks since they all just turned 20. Takamina was the only one who couldn’t handle a little alcohol and started wobbling. It was clear that she was drunk. She began flirting with Tomochin a lot. “Give me a kiss TO-MO-MI..” She said slowly. “No..” Tomochin said shyly turning around blushing. “Aww, come on just one.” she closes her eyes and puckered out her lips.” Acchan was really pissed so she slapped Takamina. “Itaaii, What was that for?” “You’re drunk, go home! “ Acchan yelled. Basically the ace slapped her out of her trance. Her head begins to hurt again.. “Ah not again.” Flashback; ( Someone is screaming "ECCHI!!!!” and slapped her)
TBC...Yay! she's slowing remembering every heart felt moment with Acchan
