A little more about you

Mei's POV

I was walking around some of the corridors in the mansion, when I spotted a room that was open and the doors were slightly ajar. Curious, I crept in.

I didn't know who's room it was. But I saw a bed, some tables, and a few photo frames on the table.

I know it was wrong to be inside someone's bedroom, but I couldn't help but look around. I was just that bored and curious. Plus, it could give me a break from Kei.

I took a look at the photographs on the table. There were 3 people – 3 children, in the picture. 2 boys, and 1 girl. And they looked strangely familiar...

Oh. My. Goodness.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that these 3 children... were Kei, Akira... and Yahiro!

They looked so cute together! But... oh my god - that means... Kei knows Yahiro since childhood? And... Akira... too?

This was new. I looked at several other of the pictures, which borne mostly the 3 of them in the picture. But there was one picture... who had another girl inside.

She was... with Kei, and Kei looked almost too happy to be true. On a swing, both of them looking at the sunset in the distance. I stopped when I noticed her eyes... were strangely familiar, and I couldn't help but notice that she looked a little... similar to me?

Was that why... Kei took an interest in me? Because I was someone who looked like his childhood love?

Was it?

"Yo," Someone called from the door, and I jumped in surprise.

"S-Sorry! I didn't mean to intrude!" I apologised frantically.

"You're such a muddle-head, you know that?"

I looked up, and it was Yahiro standing at the door. I gasped, and covered my already burning cheeks.

"What are you doing in my room?"

"Your room?"

Oh my. I was in Yahiro's room, and I was invading his private space! I'm really in deep shit.

"Tsk," Yahiro hit me on the head. "What's wrong with you, really?"

"N-nothing," I muttered. "It's just... I..."

"Oh, Kei dumped you somewhere again?"

"No... I chose to walk alone," I looked away from his gaze. "By the way... you Kei and..."

Yahiro stepped closer towards me. I was cornered to the side of the table, and he violently placed a hand on the table.

"What?" He was glaring right into my eyes. I shuddered at his coldness.

"I didn't know you knew Kei from childhood." I admitted, and looked away. He was so close to me, that I could feel his breath on my next as I turned.

"Yeah, so?"

"I mean... it's such a coincidence?" I muttered. "And that girl in the picture..."

"Sh-shut up," Yahiro bit his lower lip, and I turned back to see him looking slightly downcast. "You don't know anything."

"I don't... I know..." I nodded my head, then picked up the picture with that sunset shot.

"But who's this girl with Kei?"

"Oh... she's probably Kei's first love," Yahiro shrugged nonchalantly.

"Who is she?"

Yahiro paused for a moment, silently observing me. Then he cleared his throat.
