Chapter 802 - Valentines Day 3 (1/2)
”Ugh....”
Haru opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar room.
”Where is this?”
”Haru!”
Maki hurriedly went to Haru when she saw him open his eyes. She sighed in relief, and at the same time, felt very guilty.
”Maki? Where is this?” Haru asked.
”We're in the living room of my house.”
After Haru had passed out, Maki asked the security of her house to bring him to the living room. Her body was small and it was impossible to bring him inside using her strength alone.
”What happened?” His memory was quite hazy.
”Ah... Um... you passed out after eating.....” Maki was very embarrassed when she thought that her chocolate was so bad that it made him pass out. She didn't even try it last night and didn't know the taste of the chocolate.
”Eat...?”
Haru suddenly remembered everything and sighed when he thought about Maki's chocolate.
”I'm sorry that I can't eat all of your chocolate.”
Haru didn't want to die and thought that it was better not to eat the chocolate again, but as a gentleman, he couldn't utter those words.
”N - No, it's alright... you don't need to eat my chocolate again....”
Maki didn't want him to pass out again.
”Did you buy it from a store or make it by yourself?” Haru asked. If Maki bought it from a store then he would blow up the chocolate store who had sold her that kind of chocolate.
”H - Homemade.....” Maki blushed in embarrassment.
”....”
Haru took a deep breath and said, ”It's good but... let me teach you how to cook later so it'll become better.” He patted Maki's head and thought that this girl was cute and tried to give him homemade chocolate, even though she had never entered a kitchen before.
”U - Umm.....”
Maki nodded and felt happy when she knew that Haru would teach her since she knew that Haru's cooking skill was very good and at the same time, she could have spent her time alone with him.
Haru's body was quite weak after ate a disastrous level of food.
”Can I have water?”
Maki nodded and said, ”Wait, here! I'll get it for you!” She stood up and ran toward the kitchen.
Haru sat down on the sofa while looking around at the living room. The living room of Maki's house was very wide and it was furnished with a modern style with a fireplace as the center of this room. He also saw a grand piano on the side of the room.
”Haru, your water.”
Maki brought him a glass of water.
”Thank you, Maki.”
His throat parched after he ate that chocolate and drank the water in one gulp.
Maki looked at Haru and somehow felt a bit embarrassed since there were only both of them inside the house. She noticed him looking at the piano and asked, ”Don't you play the piano again?” She often played piano during her childhood time with Haru.
”No, I haven't played it for a long time.”
Haru shook his head and he wasn't a human metronome. If he really was a human metronome then he would meet a sickly girl during his 3rd middle school. However, he wasn't after all.
Then Haru suddenly remembered something and asked, ”How long have I passed out?”
”Hour.... You've made me panic a bit earlier.....”
”One hour?!”
Haru looked at his watch then took out his smartphone. He saw a lot of missed calls, chats, and messages on his smartphone. He hurriedly stood up since he knew that he was in trouble.
”Sorry, Maki. I'm in a hurry. I'll teach you how to cook later.”
”Huh? Your body is still weak! You should rest a bit!”
Maki could see that Haru's face was very pale and somehow he seemed quite weak.
”No, I've got to go now. I'm sorry that I can't stay for too long. Let's play the piano together later.”
”Promise?” Maki asked.
”I promise.” Haru nodded.
Maki smiled when she thought that she would be able to spend their time together again.
Haru said goodbye and hurriedly went to the movie they're since he had promised someone, but he didn't expect that he would be late for his appointment. What he could do right now was to go there as soon as possible and calm the anger of the Queen.
Maki looked at Haru's back and it somehow reminded her of her childhood when both of them played together.
If Haru turned his head right now then he would see a beautiful smile on her face, but he was in a hurry that he didn't have a chance to see it.

Movie theatre.
Erina was leaning on the pillar of wall waiting for Haru to come. She was wearing a black hoodie, black cap, a short skirt, and sneakers. She was happy when she thought that she would have a date with him on Valentine's Day and went to the movie theatre one hour earlier since she was too excited. She wore a black cap so no one would know that it was her, but she didn't expect Haru to be late for their date.
Erina's mood was very bad at this moment and had tried to call him several times, but he didn't answer her. The first time, being ignored, she was angry, but when she didn't receive an answer no matter how many times she had contacted him, she started to get worried about whether something had happened to him.
”Sorry for the wait.”
”!!!”
Erina's face was happy when she heard this voice, and raised her face, but her expression turned into disappointment when she noticed that it was the wrong person.
”Not at all~ I just arrived~”
