"I...I don't know. Did I make a mistake by telling you this?" She tried to reassure herself, "Did she... fake her death or something?"

...

"Let's just sleep on it for now" John replied, "She must've really trusted you, Sera"

Sera managed to calm herself down a bit, "You're right. No point thinking about it. But..." She continued, "I didn't know you actually watch the news, John?"

John chuckled, "I might be stupid from time to time, but I'm not ignorant in the slightest"

Sera laid back down to the couch again, "Anyway, I'm gonna head to sleep"

"Here? In this couch?"

"There's only one bed..." Sera replied, "And I kinda felt bad you slept on the floor because of me"

"Why... Why don't we just share the bed?"

Sera chuckled with a bit of smug, "Yeah, you wish..." She sarcastically said, "Maybe we should buy another bed?"

John gave Sera the disapproving look

"What...?" Sera raised an eyebrow

"You talk like it's the cheapest thing in the world"

Next morning... 7:31 AM


Sera slowly opened her eyes and was met with the ceiling. She slowly sat up and stretched her body that was stiffened from sleeping on the couch

'Maybe I should really buy another bed?' She asked herself, and she gathered her clothes and her toothbrush before she headed to the bathroom, only to find out that John is already occupying it

'Is he... taking a shower? Was he working out in the morning?'

"Hey, John?!" Sera shouted behind the bathroom door

"Yeah?!" His sound muffled slightly

"Can you maybe hurry it up!?" She asked, "I don't wanna be late for school!"

"We can just share the bath, you know?"

"In your dreams, maybe..." She replied coldly

"Then it'll be for the second time"

Sera's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what this boy just said, "W-WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" She yelled from embarrassment, and found herself staring furiously at the blank door

"Woah, what happened to your cold personality?" John sarcastically asked and laughed at her, "I was just kidding, Sera!" He continued his hysterical laugh

...

"Sera...?" He called, but she didn't respond, 'She went sulky, didn't she? Maybe that was a bit too far of me' He thought, but still couldn't help to find it funny
