Ch 52 - Frustration and Surprised

"Hey Nari, you know them?" asked Rintarou in a whisper to Nari.

"Nope" said Nari.

"Hmm, doesn't she looks familiar to you" said Rintarou while pointing at a girl with long jet black hair, a face colored with make up that enhances her natural beauty to a slight degree, wearing a red luxurious dress that complements her crimson red eyes along with some heels, she appears to be a very rich young lady attending this fancy restaurant for the rich.

"Hmm, me too, but it's like trying to remember how a pokemon exactly looks like, you can't remember the small details too well, it's kinda like that with her" said Nari as Rintarou nodded.

"Well it doesn't matter anyway, what does matter is that I spent 600 dollars of my own money to treat you with some expensive steak, so let's eat already" said Rintarou as Nari chuckled while they both went to eat their own food but as they were both about to eat their first bite, they notice that the family of 3 was about to sit beside them.

"Fuck" said Rintarou in a hushed voice along with a sad smile, soon, they prepared for the inevitable where they will have to seat with the family of 3 and risk being disturbed in their peaceful dinner.

Soon, as they both expected, the presumed family of three sat beside the conveniently placed vacant table beside them as they both inspected the three.

The presumed father has short black hair and fair white skin wearing a black suit that complements the family's red eyes, with the three of them having model-level looks, they were not just born rich but born beautiful, or maybe they were models and that's why they were rich.

Then the presumed mother has relatively long black hair that reaches below her neck, wearing some relatively casual clothes but still has the hint of elegance and splendor, she appears to be a model just like the presumed father from looks alone.

Soon, they started to talk to each other but they weren't really able to hear anything so they just totally ignored the three and didn't notice the girl's strange gaze at them.

(Girl's POV)

"Oi Miyoung, is there something on my face?" asked her brother who was looking at her with a curious face.

"I- it's nothing" said Miyoung as she averted her gaze from the two strangers wearing Seoul High uniforms.

"If you say so" said her brother while her sister already decided on her order as the both of them were the only ones left.

But as she was looking through the menu, she heard the familiar voices she knows that were also vastly different as she instantly look towards the duo near them.

"So Nari, *munch* I know that I did treat you with this *munch*, but can you treat me next time?" said the boy whose face was turned the other way so she wasn't able to see his face but the voice was oh so familiar, and the name he uttered brought her more confusion as she looks at the kingdom toppling beauty he was talking to.

"Fine fine, but the money you spent wasn't even from you in the first place, it's from your oh so precious top donator" said Nari while she heard a chuckle from the boy.

"Uh-huh" said the boy as she suddenly felt her sister poking her in the face.

"You know them?" asked her sister while pointing at the duo.

"... No" said Miyoung.

"Well then why are you looking at them strangely?" asked her sister.

"I don't know, but the girl just looks familiar to me" said Miyoung.

"Probably just someone from your school, look, the boy is wearing the Seoul High uniform" said her brother while pointing at the blazer the boy wore.

"Probably" said Miyoung.

"Well we should respect their privacy, but did you guys already have your order?" asked her sister.

"Still looking" said her brother as he put his focus on the menu once more.

"Me too" said Miyoung as she put her focus on the menu but still peek towards the duo near them as she felt like she knows the girl, it's like a veil was put over her face that blurs her familiarity.

"So Nari, I know we've been classmates for months now but really, am I that oblivious that I didn't notice that it was you from the start?" said the boy in confusion as she was also confused at the coincidental name Nari as she started to see some similarities between her classmate Nari and the girl the boy was talking to.

"Well my disguise is kinda good if you think about it, I also used makeup by the way to make artificial marks like this over here" said Nari as she wiped off a mark in her cheeks as the boy gasped in surprise.

"Makeup! Why didn't I think of that before" said the boy.

"Well the risks that I have is kinda big with the, you know, so I gotta need some good countermeasures" said Nari with a smile.

"Then can you put on your glasses without makeup?" said the boy.

"Sure" said Nari as she put on her glasses and this time, Miyoung finally knew that it was Nari as she became more than shocked and felt like her whole school life was a lie.

'Nari is that girl!? Then who is she talking to?' thought Miyoung with wide eyes as luckily, her siblings didn't seem to notice her surprise as she kept watching the two.

"Oh wow" said the boy in surprise.

"Hehe, told you that I don't look that different with this on" said Nari as she took off the glasses as one mystery was left, who was the boy she was talking to.

Soon, minutes have passed, their orders were taken, was given, and also eaten but not once was she able to see who the boy was nor how he look as she became frustrated and her siblings didn't notice it as they went on their way until they finish dinner.

"Yawn, you happy?" said the boy to Nari.

"Yep" said Nari.

"Well let's go already, we still have work to do this night and I will have to explain my little joke on Twatter" said the boy as they both stood up and prepared to head out.

"Ngh, that was a nice meal" said her sister who did some stretches.

"Let's go already, I don't want to miss Lily's stream today, I heard she will do a collab with Rin tonight" said her brother.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot it was happening today" said Miyoung as the trio stood up and prepared to go out in the snow as she waited for the opportunity to see the boy's face as they were already outside in the weak snow.

And as they entered outside, the boy's face was still turned towards the other way as she was annoyed but luckily, their car was towards them so she can take a look.

"Oh look, it's those two" said her sister as they walk over to their car park in front of the restaurant.

Soon, they reach the car and as she was about to turn around to finally see the boy's face, she suddenly felt her feet slipping on the ground and was about to fall to the ground.

And as she heard her sibling's cries and prepared for the pain, she felt somebody grabbing her body from the back as she opened her eyes to see that it was the boy and this time, she was mesmerized by the face that she saw.

With heterochromatic eyes of black and white that seems to hold the infinite stars in the sky, with a face glowing under the moon giving it an ethereal aura of an angel falling from the sky, with caring eyes and his hot warm breath caressing her face, she felt her heart rapidly going doki doki as she instantly recognized that face.

'R- Rintarou!?!?' thought Miyoung in surprise as she felt her face rapidly going red as her siblings finally arrived towards her who was under Rintarou's tight hug that prevented her from slipping onto the ground.
