Nara's doorbell rang. Ryu who heard the voice immediately walked over to open the door. After opening it, Ryu smiled because it turned out to be Yuki who was standing in front of the door. Ryu tells Yuki to come in.
"Hey Yuki, how are you? Long time no see you. Please come in."
"I'm good. As you can see." Yuki replied with a smile.
"Oh, sorry yesterday I couldn't see your match. But I heard your team won. Congratulations." Ryu praises Yuki.
"Thank you. I came here actually want to take Nara to watch movie and have dinner. Or do you want to join us?" said Yuki.
"You want me to join? Of course I don't want to interrupt you guys on a date." Ryu said. Yuki only smiled at what Ryu said.
"Nara... Yuki has arrived!" Ryu shouted to call Nara.
"No need to shout, I've heard you," Nara said, who walked down the stairs.
"Wow... Nara, is your dress and makeup today not too much?" Ryu said teasing his sister.
"What? Are you serious? Yuki, is it true?" Nara starts asking Yuki about what she's using. She doesn't want to embarrass Yuki when he's with her.
"No. You're always beautiful using anything, Nara." Yuki smiled.
"Yaaa Ryu, stop teasing me!" Nara hit her brother's arm. Ryu just smiled at his sister.
"Alright, I borrowed Nara for today. I promise I'll bring it home well. Nothing less." Yuki holds Nara's hand. He asks Ryu for permission.
"Go have fun. Enjoy your holidays." Ryu said.
Finally Nara and Yuki walk towards the car and not to forget, Yuki always opens the car door for Nara. It may look simple but very romantic. That's what Yuki always does for Nara. After making sure Nara enters and sits in her seat, Yuki closes the car door and immediately runs to the other side door.
"So, what movie do we want to watch?" asked Nara.
"I haven't booked a ticket yet. There's actually one movie I want to watch. But it's a horror movie. You definitely don't want to watch that, right?" Yuki replied with a smile.
"I can't watch that. Wait, let's see the schedule today." Nara said while taking her phone from the bag to see the schedule of the film that aired today.
"It's up to you to see what movie. What matters today is that you are with me." Yuki said who focused on driving the car.
Nara who heard Yuki's words only smiled. 20 minutes later they arrived at the cinema. Nara and Yuki split the tasks. Nara picked up the ticket. Because before, she had already ordered via online. Yuki buys popcorn and drinks.
"I've bought cola and caramel popcorn. Your favorit, right?" Yuki said while showing it to Nara. Nara seemed happy to see it.

"I bought a ticket too."
"Eh. Why did you buy tickets to this movie? It's a horror movie." Yuki wonders why Nara watches a horror movie. She couldn't see this genre of movie.
"It's okay. You said you wanted to see it. So, I'll accompany you this time." Nara said.
"But, Nara..."
"I won't be afraid as long as you're beside me. I just closed my eyes when the ghost appeared." Nara laughed while helping to take the Cola and popcorn out of Yuki's hands.
Yuki smiled and patted Nara's head. They immediately rushed into the cinema as the movie was about to start in 5 minutes. Although Nara is a little afraid to watch a horror movie, but all this she did for Yuki.
Two hours have passed, the movie is over. They're out of the cinema. Yuki continued to laugh ever since they came out. Yuki laughs because while inside the cinema Nara only covers her face with her hands. He even screamed while watching the movie.
"Stop laughing at me. Why do people love to see horror movies? That's very scary. I can't enjoy it." Nara's upset.
"But I'm quite happy." Yuki said.
"Why? Because I'm afraid?" Nara scowled.
"Heem. If you're not afraid, you can't hold my hand for two hours." Yuki smiles and shows his hand holding Nara's hand.
Nara smiled as she watched her hands holding hands with Yuki. She hadn't spent time alone with Yuki in a long time. She turned her gaze from Yuki's hand to Yuki's face. She saw Yuki smiling. She's relieved.
"What do you want to eat? Are you hungry?" asked Yuki.
"I'm thinking about the menu I want to eat. Emm...."
"PASTA??" the two of them said at the same time.
"You're thinking the same thing as me?" said Nara with a smile.
"Heem. Suddenly I missed Italy. I know a good restaurant in this area. I've been there a lot with my team."
"Okay. Let's eat pasta." Nara is excited.

It didn't take long, they finally arrived at the parking lot of the best pasta restaurant in Japan. They got out of the car and immediately walked into the restaurant. Because the restaurant was so crowded, they had to queue. But while they're writing a name on the front of the restaurant, Yuki sees someone he knows. He walked towards the person's table and left Nara who was busy writing her name.
"Masahiro? You're here?" said Yuki to Masahiro who had just sat at the corner table of the restaurant.
"Oh. Yuki. I just came from a bookstore nearby and was hungry. That's why I'm here. Who are you with? Let's eat with me here." Masahiro said.
"Yuki, we still have to wait for one more table." Nara said when she approached Yuki but she didn't know if there was anyone in front of them.

"Nara?" Masahiro calls Nara.
Hearing her name called, Nara turned to the voice. She was surprised that there was Masahiro in front of her. Her eyes were wide open looking at Masa. Masa is also surprised that Yuki comes with Nara. Things are starting to look awkward for Nara and Masa.
"Wait. Do you know each other?" asked Yuki, who was getting confused. Nara looks at Yuki with a panicked face.
"Yes. We're from the same school." Masahiro said that looked very calm.
"Wah... I just found out if you're from the same school. So, I don't need to introduce you two." Yuki smiled.
"Oh. Masa, can we join your table? The queue is long enough. Besides, Nara is already too hungry." asked Yuki.
"NO. Yuki, No need. We can wait for one more table. We're going to bother him." Nara said. She was trying to find an excuse. Surely she didn't want the same table as Masahiro.
"It's okay. This is a table for 3 people. I'm glad if you guys ate with me. So I'm not alone. Waiting for one table is long enough." Masahiro said.
Yuki and Nara finally accept Masa's offer to eat together. The three of them sat on a small round table in the corner of the restaurant. After sitting down, Nara's phone rang. She asked permission to get out to pick up the phone. She asks Yuki to order any food for her. After seeing Nara walking away from them, Masa asks Yuki.
"Emm Yuki, you've been dating Nara for a long time?"
"Not yet. We're officially dating for 1 year. But I've known her for two years." Yuki replied while looking at the menu.
"Oh. How did you two meet? As far as I know she went to school abroad."
"I met her while I was visiting Paris with my team. Since then I've been interested with her. You can say, I fell in love with her the first time I met her." Yuki is always smiling when he tells of the first time he met Nara.
Masahiro just silently listened to Yuki's story. He kept smiling. Although there is a strange feeling when he hear it.
Nara finally returned to the table after picking up the phone. After that, their food came. The three of them ordered the same pasta. Yuki and Masa have the same food taste. As for Nara, Yuki orders her the same menu as him.
However, Nara says she wants to go to the toilet first to wash her hands. Masa and Yuki start eating his food first. Masahiro feels strange when he starts eating his pasta. He stopped after putting a spoon into his mouth. He continued to chew and used his tongue to find out the strange taste in the paste.
"Why? Is the food bad?" said Yuki.
"I don't think this pasta tastes like it used to. Did they change the spices?" Masahiro said.
"Really? I think it's very good." Yuki said while eating his food. But Masahiro still looked at his plate.
Nara finally returned from the toilet and immediately sat down to the table. As she held the fork and wanted to pick up her pasta, Masahiro suddenly held Nara's hand.
"Don't eat!!" Masahiro said while looking at Nara.
"What?" Nara was surprised.
"Masa, what are you doing?" Yuki who sees Masa holding Nara's hand firmly tries to hold Masa's hand and attempts to get Masa to let go of his grasp.
Masa finally let go of Nara's hand. He confirms to Yuki that he doesn't mean anything to Nara.
"Excuse me?" Masahiro calls the restaurant staff to come to his table.
"Yes, Sir. Can I help you?"
"Does this food contain peanuts?" Masa questioned the pasta soup in their food.
"Yes, sir. To this sauce we added a little peanuts. To add flavor." Answer the restaurant staff.
"Okay. I asked for my friend's food to be replaced. She has an allergy to peanuts."
"Oh, sorry Sir. Well, I'll ask to make another meal without peanuts. Or do you want to change another menu?" He picked up the plate that was in front of Nara.
Nara didn't say anything and saw Masa. But Yuki panicked.
"Please give her the same menu without peanuts. Thank you." Masahiro made a request.
"Nara, are you allergic to peanuts? Why did I just know this?" asked Yuki.
"Ah. Yes. I have allergies. Sorry I didn't tell you." Nara replied.
"It's okay. Most importantly, you're okay. But Masa, how did you know she had allergies?" Yuki begins to ask Masahiro.
Masahiro was silent. He looked at Nara. Nara also looked at Masahiro. Their eyes meet. As for Yuki, he waits for Masahiro's answer. What does Masahiro have to say?
Masahiro, Nara and their friends are eating in the school cafeteria together. Nara sits in front of Masa. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal, except Nara. Nara is still busy separating peanuts from her food. Masahiro who saw her began to wonder.
"You don't like peanuts?"
"I have an allergy to peanuts. My chest feels tight and will appear a red rash if I eat it. That's why I have to get rid of this." Nara replied without seeing Masahiro. She's still busy with her peanuts.
"Alright, from now I'll eat the peanuts that are in your food." Masahiro said that helped take all the peanuts that were in Nara's food and put them on his plate.
"Thank you." Nara smiled at Masa. Masahiro too. Finally they ate quietly. But, Masahiro just stared at Nara. He couldn't turn his eyes away from Nara. Seeing Nara's face made Masa's heart happy.

Spencer Underwood has little realistic hope of escaping his paraplegic, bullied, and friendless high school existence. At least until he and three classmates are unrealistically transported to Nibiru, a legendary fantasy world ruled by mythological gods and inhabited by strange races and nightmarish monsters. Spence can walk again, which is good considering he will have to use his online fantasy role-playing game experience to lead the dysfunctional party on the gods’ quest and summon the courage to finally stand up to Trey, his worst bully from school. Success means survival and earning respect and acceptance, especially from Morgan, his attractive but snarky Goth classmate. But Spence discovers Nibiru is more a world of science fiction than fantasy, and they are just unwitting pawns in a deadly scheme of the gods. If completing the quest doesn’t result in their return to Earth, the party may have to do the unthinkable and challenge the gods themselves. (The novel is complete at 56 chapters, so feel free to jump in without fear of it fizzling out in a premature demise.)
