A Night
A Cafe
(Y/N) POV
Mr. Nakano: Hayashi-kun, I believe this is the first time we meet in person, correct?
Me: Yeah.
We two took a long sip of our drink while staring at each others' eyes.
Mr. Nakano:*put down his drink* Let me get straight to the point.
Me: Go ahead.
Mr. Nakano: Please resign as their tutor.
Well, I'm sure you guys are wondering how we end up in this situation.
Like last time, let's have a little flashback.
*Screen start to show some scenes in reverse*
This Morning
My Class
(Y/N) POV
Teacher: (Y/N) (L/N)-kun.
I stood up and walked to him to take my final exam's results.
I took a quick look at my results before putting the paper in my pocket.
Me: Sensei, can I go to restroom?
Teacher: Go ahead.
I walked out from my classroom.
But instead of going to restroom, I went to the stairs that lead to the rooftop.
When I arrived, I slammed the door behind me close.
I sighed in relief.
Me: That relieved my anger.
I took out my phone while walking around and called Ichiro.
Ichiro: Moshi moshi.
Me: Hey.
Ichiro: Do you need anything?
Me: Nah, just want to ask how is your results for your final exams.
Ichiro: Hahaha, well, my results are just like always.
Me: I see. How about we meet up at the cafe I work at after school?
Ichiro: Sounds good. See ya later then.
Me: Yeah, see ya.
We ended the call at the same time.
Me: Well, I think I'm gonna hang out here until school ends.
After School
The cafe
(Y/N) POV
Me: Well, I think you three know what I want from you guys.
Miku:*smiles* Of course.
She showed me her results.
Me:*smiles* Good job.
Yotsuba: Here! Take a look at mine!
Me:*smiles* You finally passed.
Yotsuba:*cries little bit* It's all thanks to you, (Y/N)-kun.
Itsuki: Well, this is mine.
Me:*smiles* You guys did very well. Now we wait for the other two.
As soon as I said that, Ichika entered the cafe.
Itsuki: Oh, Ichika!
Ichika:*smiles* Hey.
Me: Well, I'm gonna go straight to the point.
Ichika:*smiles* You are talking about my results, aren't you? Well...
She showed me her results.
Ichika: I passed.
Me: That's good considering you also have work.
The other three:*smile* Yeah, congrats, Ichika.
Ichika: Hahaha, thank you.
Itsuki: Oh, how about your results, (Y/N)-kun?
Me:*smiles* Do you really want to see.
She then realized something.
Itsuki: No, nevermind. You'll brag about you're getting perfect scores.
Me: Okay, good choice.
Manager then came.
Manager: Congratulations on clearing your exams. Today, we celebrate! I'll deduct it out of (Y/N)-kun's pay, so eat as much as you want!
Me:*smiles* Manager, do you know how does it feel to be punched in the face?
Itsuki: Thank you, but we're still missing one person.
???: If you're talking about Nino, then I met her on my way here.
We turned around and saw Ichiro who was holding a bike helmet.
Ichika: Oh, Ichiro-kun. What're you doing here?
Ichiro: (Y/N) called me. Oh, and Nino left this for you.
He said and gave me Nino's exams result slip.
I took a look at her results.
Ichiro*whispering*: And she asked me to tell you this, "come pick me up or else we're going to break up".
Me: Okay, where is she?
Ichiro: Beats me.
Me:*look at the others* Hey, I'm going to search for Nino. So wait for us.
The others: Okay!
Ichiro: It's almost your shift, right? Here take this.
He said and gave me his bike key and helmet.
Timeskip
In front of our old apartment
Nino POV
Papa came out from his limo.
Papa: You're back, Nino-kun.
Me: Papa, I told you to stop adding "-kun". It feels awkward.
Papa: My apologies, Nino. I have received word that everyone has passed all subjects. It's praiseworthy that the six of you have accomplished this. Congratulations.
Me: T-Thanks.
Papa: It seems that I have no choice but to acknowledge Hayashi-kun. Regarding this apartment, starting tomorrow, he may...
Me: We've decided to stay at the new place for a little longer.
Papa: What did you say...?
Me: The five of us decided this before the exam. Of course, Ichika will not bear all the burden alone. I will work too. It's not we're trying to pride ourselves in being independent. We're also that it's not the right choice. But I feel that living like that has changed us... It feels like we were able to move forward a little. I only came today to tell you that.
Papa:... I simply cannot comprehend using abstract phrase like "moving forward" does not sound the least bit convincing. I have seen your so-called new home. From where I stand, it looks more like regression. It's not like you have forgotten how things were like up until five years ago. You're tired of living like that too, I'm sure? How about you stop being willful and...
Suddenly...
I took a clear look and saw a superbike and a man wearing a helmet on it.
The man took off his helmet revealing (Y/N).
(Y/N): There you are, Nino. Let's head back.
Me: Wait, what's that?! No wait, your family is rich so it's not surprising, but what!?
(Y/N): I don't know what you're babbling about, but get on. The others are waiting for you and my shift is about to start.
Papa: Nino.
I looked at him.
Papa: You're about to tread a thorny path. It will not end well. You will surely regret this someday. Come with me.
Me: Papa... Watch us.
I quickly got on the bike.
(Y/N): Wear this.
He said and gave me his helmet. I just followed his order.
(Y/N) POV
Mr. Nakano: Hayashi-kun.
I looked at him.
Mr. Nakano: What time will your shift end?
Me: 12 a.m.
Mr. Nakano: Then I'll be waiting for you. I'll send you the location later.
Me: Err, okay...?
I then drove away.
When we were far away from the apartment, Nino spoke.
Nino: Since when you have superbike?
Me: This is belongs to Ichiro. And I have license so don't worry.
Nino: Anyway, I'm surprised that you actually found me.
Me: Well, this place just happened to come across my mind.
Nino: Oh, what's this?
She snatched my exams result slip away from my pocket.
Me: Hey, don't look!
Nino POV
I looked at his results and was shocked.
Japanese: 89.
Mathematics: 97.
English: 88.
Science: 94.
Social Studies: 91.
Total Scores: 459.
Me: You...
(Y/N): I never scored below 100 before.
Me: Was it because of us?
(Y/N): Nah, it's just me who is too lazy. And honestly, I felt little bit mad of myself when I received my results, I already released it though.
Me: I guess that's why Miku said you didn't come back to class after you received your results?
(Y/N): Yeah. Nevermind that, I'm gonna speed up. Make sure you grab on tight.
Before he could speed up, I asked him to stop near a pedestrian bridge.
He stopped the bike.
(Y/N): What?
Me:*take off helmet* Follow me.
I put the helmet on his bike and started walking up to the top of the pedestrian bridge. (Y/N) just followed me from behind.
(Y/N): Nino, what's all this about?
Me: Promise me one thing, (Y/N)-boo.
(Y/N): What?
Me: Promise me you won't go out with any other girls except me and my sisters. That includes when you go to Stanford.
(Y/N): Well, how will we declare this promise? A pinky promise?
Me:*smiles* How about something better?
I turned around and pulled him into a deep kiss.
Present Time
(Y/N) POV
Mr. Nakano: Please resign as their tutor.
Me: Hmm?
Mr. Nakano: Let's change the subject, then.
He took out his phone and showed me the scene of me and Ichika kissing.
Me: Err...
Mr. Nakano: I believe this is you and Ichika-kun, correct?
Me: Well, it's not like you'll believe me if I say it's not me.
Mr. Nakano:*put the phone down* You're gonna go to Stanford in a few months, right?
Me: How do you know?
Mr. Nakano: I'm in contact with your father. We were classmates, after all.
Me*thought*: Ah, so that's how he found out my real last name.
Mr. Nakano: Say Hayashi-kun, do you love Ichika-kun?
Me: To be honest, I love all of them.
Mr. Nakano: I see.
He then raised his drink.
Mr. Nakano: You have my blessing.
Me: Wait, what?
Mr. Nakano: I already make myself clear, ain't I?
Me: Wait, this is so sudden.
Mr. Nakano: Do you want my daughters or not?
Me:... Yeah.
Mr. Nakano took another sip of his drink.
Mr. Nakano: I can't hide the fact that you've been rude to me last time we talked, but I also can't hide the fact that you have a point. And when it comes to romantic relationship, my daughters won't listen to me at all. So there's no use for me to try to stop you guys.
Me: I see.
We then fell quiet.
After a few minutes, Mr. Nakano continued speaking.
Mr. Nakano: Hideo-kun and I are not very close to call friends and we're not enemies either. We're more like rivals.
Me: Rivals, huh?
Mr. Nakano: We always competed to be the number one. And each we accidentally got into a fight with each other, the quintuplets' mom, Rena, who was a teacher that time, threw her iron punch at both of us.
Me: Eh? So my dad used to be your wife's student?
Mr. Nakano: Precisely. Even now I didn't consider Hideo-kun as my friend. To me, he's just a man who happened to be in my contacts list. But he'll still come to my office every week with alcohol. And I refused to drink.
Me: Why?
Mr. Nakano: I just drink alcohol in a special occasion.
Me: I see.
Mr. Nakano: Anyway, I heard you have a twin, right?
Me: Yeah.
Mr. Nakano: Well, from what Hideo-kun described, you and your brother have white hair. So why is your hair black?
Me: Err, long story short, I just don't wanna the quintuplets to mistake me for Ichiro.
Mr. Nakano: I see. Anyway, it's time for me to go. I'm busy so maybe we won't talk face-to-face for a little while. Well, it's not like it is something you'd care.
Me: Correct.
