Need Not to Know

It is four in the morning when Hokuto sneaked out of Mizuki's room. Everyone is asleep and he went to his room to see if everything is already fine. He quickly looked away when he saw Makoto and Fumiko naked under the blankets.

"What should I do?" He mumbled and went back to Mizuki's room to wake her up. The younger grunted but she sat on the bed and saw Hokuto.

"What’s wrong?" She groaned when she felt her head hurting a lot because of the hangover. Hokuto pulled her out of the room and explained what happened last night.

"What? Onii-chan and Fumi-chan?" She whispered and they arrived at his room. They saw the two's swimwear on the floor and they decided to dress them up quickly.

"Bring Fumiko to Megumi's room." She whispered and Hokuto immediately carried Fumiko in his arms and brought her to the other room.

"Mizuki, it's locked." Hokuto whispered and she told him to bring Fumiko to her room instead. He covered Fumiko with the blankets and he went back to his room.

Riku heard those faint noises outside, so he got up from the bed and opened the door silently to peek. Ichika is still asleep. He doesn’t know how he will sleep since she keeps on mumbling something. When he opened the door, he saw Hokuto and Mizuki doing something. He raised his brow while watching the two sneak in every room and seems to be agitated.

It is already afternoon when Ichika woke up. She shut her eyes closed again when she felt that terrible hangover. She wanted to get up but her whole system is not yet ready. She turned her body to the side and felt like throwing up. She barely remembered how much wine she drank last night.

The door went open and she saw Riku. She groaned softly since the noise from the door is giving her more headaches. She is currently too sensitive with everything and she wants to have more sleep but she is feeling sweaty and sticky because of the humidity from the summer weather. He smiled when he saw her awake. He is carrying a tray full of food and a cup of warm coffee.

"Do you want to take a bath first before eating brunch?" He asked and she tried to get up. He placed the tray on the table and helped her to go to the bathroom.

While Riku and Ichika are busy at the bathroom, Mizuki sneaked in the room. She rushed to Ichika's bag and rummaged it to look for some pills if she brought some. She saw two boxes of morning after pills and she took one of the pills. She doesn't know why she have those but thinking that she is always with Riku feels like they are doing something that adults can do.

"Mizuki?" Riku saw her and she covered her lips, almost screaming. Her eyes widened when she realized that she got caught.

She quickly closed Ichika's bag and gestured to Riku to keep quiet. He wanted to laugh but he nodded his head and Mizuki went out of the room already.

"Here. I got one from Ichika's bag. She has two boxes of that and I don't know why. Let's not ask anymore." Mizuki whispered to Hokuto who is just outside the room and waiting for her. He gave the mug of warm coffee to her and she already knows what to do.

Mizuki went inside her room and saw that Fumiko is still asleep. She opened the small packet and got the pill. She started to wake her up.

"Fumi-chan, wake up. It's already afternoon." She said while gently shaking her body. Fumiko grunted and buried her face on the pillow.

"I got you some coffee and medicine for headache. It will ease your hangover." She shook her body more and Fumiko finally sat up on the bed.

"I can't remember anything.." Fumiko mumbled with her eyes still closed. Mizuki helped her to take the pill and then, she gave the mug of warm coffee.

"Do you want to eat something? The others are already at the kitchen. You and Ichika are still in bed. Do you want me to bring food for you?" She asked and Fumiko nodded. The coffee is not that warm enough for her, so she immediately finished it. Mizuki sighed in relief inwardly and she got the empty mug from her.

"I'll take a bath. I want some soup." Fumiko said and she smiled, nodding her head. She helped her go to the bathroom and then, she filled the tub with warm water.

When Mizuki went out of her room, she saw Riku waiting for her. She bit her lower lip and looked down. She is holding the empty packet of the pill earlier and Riku got it from her.

"Something happened between her and her bestfriend?" He asked in a low voice and she slowly nodded her head. He placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair before walking away.

"You will not tell it to anyone?" She immediately followed him and he nodded his head. She heaved another sigh of relief as Hokuto is already back at the kitchen and still cooking more food for everyone.

The day passed by with everyone only resting inside the house. All of them, except Hokuto and Riku, got hangover. Riku got the caretakers to clean the mess at the swimming pool area but before he called for them, he made sure that there will be no controversial matters around the area.

"I don't think I will drink that much again." Makoto mumbled while lying down on the couch. Mizuki pulled his ear and he winced in pain.

"Yeah. Don't give Hokuto too much problems." Mizuki crossed her arms and Makoto glared at her. He shifted his gaze to Hokuto and the other just laughed.

"So, I was so messy last night? I can't even remember what happened because I was too drunk." He sighed and sat up on the couch to get the glass of warm tea.

"Let's go to the night market later? There is one at the city proper." Riku suddenly said and this lightened everyone's mood.
