Chapter 1 - Japan

"Hey, something bothering you?" I didn't realize I spaced out for godamn long. "Nothing.." "You sure?" I nodded. He then turned back to the teacher and took notes while I'm staring onto a wall again..

Class dissmissed and he's asking me again "Are you sure nothings bothering you?" Were headed towards the cafeteria to buy something to eat and I answered "Yeah Ji, nothings bothering me, really." after my response, he heaved a sigh "If somethings wrong you know you can always tell me alright?" I smiled and nodded.

"Okayyy waddup foods, who among you shall I eat todeeey?" He said in a funny voice. When a friend goes soft when no ones around then turns into a whole dumb panda after. Only mister Park Jihoon.

"Kyu, are you just gonna stand there and wait for the food crawl into your mouth?" Jihoon said in a mocking way, although I don't know why I can't hear him. I kept bothered by that little guy next to the dispenser gulping a glass of water. "Hey, is that guy over there new here?" I muttered not minding to led my eyes on Jihoon. "Hm?" he turned to the direction where my eyes were "Ah, him? Yeah, he's a transferee from Japan. It's his first week here." Japan?

"Mom, where are we going?" I turned and asked "We're going to Japan sweetie." she replied. "Yeay! Finally! Can't wait!"

I packed my needed things and went for the door not forgeting to lock it from the outside. I rushed downstairs after hearing the beeps of the car, finally I stepped on the last case of the stair and went to the main door and hopped inside the car. "All here?" my dad asked looking thru the mirror and I smiled "Yep!" he nodded "Let's go then!" dad said with a giddy voice and mom and I laughed and cheered knowing that were going to Japan.

While in the car, I was just minding my own business by looking outside the car window and admiring the view Wow~ so this is Japan?

...

"Son?" my father uttered which I immediately turned my head to give him a knowing look for him to continue "Um, can you give us a favor?" Damn why do I feel so nervous? "Hm, sure dad, about what?" I asked "I- uh, a message came up and-" I cutted his words off "Are you guys leaving?" he then eyed my mom and said "Yes. But you'll be staying at the Kanemoto's."

When they were in collage my mom and dad had a project in Japan. They stayed there for like 3 months and that's where my parents met Yoshi's mom. My parents were partners but they weren't a couple that day and they needed a guide to Japan and Yoshi's mom insisted to guide them. While guiding them, they became friends and my mom and dad developed their feelings these past few months while they're in Japan. Sadly, my parents have to leave after the last day of the 3rd month, so they promised to be back here for 7 years when they turn older. And here they are now.

"Dad, we've never been into a trip together for years! And now that we have the chance, we'll be separated?? Can't you just stay for just 1 week?" I heared my dad sigh and stopped the car, "Son, I know it's been years since we had a vacation together, but Mr. Yoon is waiting for us, do you want us to get fired?" Well, no, I don't want that to happened to them, but.. I need my parents by my side too.. They've been very busy after they took that "promotion" from Mr. Yoon, their boss. "But.. ok fine.." I sighed and all I did was sulking after making my response.

"Be a good boy okay?" my mom said caressing my hair, I nodded as a response and took my things at the back of the car and went straight to the door not forgetting to wave goodbye. "What a nice day to be alone. I don't even know how to speak Japanese. Lucky me." I reached for my phone before knocking, checking the time 12:42pm, it reads. He heads on knocking and asked "yeoboseyo?" a guy wearing his pajamas revealed the door "ah annyeonghaseyo." he greeted, this guy can speak korean? "you must be Junkyu?" I nodded and bowed. He then calls his mom and insisted to carry my bags, I thanked him and went inside following him from behind and closed the door.

"Mom, Junkyu's here." he called and made his way upstairs to my room maybe? Her mom was busy making lunch and put the the dishes on the table. She made a knowing look and I bowed and greeted her, although I don't know what to say. "Oh, your here! have you eaten yet?" She asked, I have no clue of what she just said so I just nodded. "How are you?" I don't want to be rude by not saying anything, but.. I don't think she'll understand me either. Meanwhile when I was about to say something, Yoshi appeared at the door "Mom, you know he can't understand us right?" I am lost. Where is Jihoon's translation app when I need it?? "Oh, right, I forgot." she turned to me and apologized. "Sorry for being forgetful, no wonder you were silent." I smiled "It's okay ma-" she cuts my words off "Call me aunt." I nodded.

"Yoshi, call the the others, tell them were having lunch." his mom ordered and Yoshi went upstairs to call them.

Others?

"What's for lunch?" a tall guy asked. "Wow, your korean's getting better Haruto."

Haruto? Wow, I only know Naruto.

"Yeah, I've been practicing." he said to his mom? "Good then. Um, this is Junkyu, Mr and Mrs. Kim's son." she introduced. "Hi." I waved. He looked shy though, I can even notice him getting all reddish. "Hello" he waved back. "Ruto, why do you look like a tomato?" a tiger guy asked "What do you mean?" he replied covering his face "Oohhh, I know that look." Yoshi teased "Shut up."
