[I thought you had moved on?] Hannah asked me. After I left earlier, I immediately called him. I just can't say what I feel right now.

"That's what I thought too. But, I guess I just fooled myself" I couldn't stop my tears from falling. What's the use, right?

[So, now you realize the truth. Eh, what's your plan now?] I thought about that question for a moment. What is my plan? I do not know.

It's like the world has suddenly turned upside down. Before he didn't want me at all and it seems that every time we are together he is forced to do so and now -. I got my head pulled out. I'm confused.

[Are you still there?] I was immediately brought back to the present when I heard Hannah's voice.

"Y-yes, I'm still here"

[Okay, maybe you're having a hard time deciding what you're going to do, right? Just a tip, follow what your heart tells you but sometimes give your brain a chance to speak as well]

SEVERAL days passed and this AJ really did not stop flirting. I feel sorry and ashamed for what he is doing.

"Oh, son, do you have a visitor?" I immediately turned to the person who spoke. It's Mom. He was just coming down the stairs when he saw AJ sitting on the sofa. I just scratched my head because of annoyance. This is what I avoid from everyone.

I thought in the previous days that this day would never happen. It's annoying. I wish I had planned so that this did not happen. Mama even saw AJ.

I just shook my head and started pushing AJ out. "No, Ma, he's leaving too. Isn't it already six o'clock"

But if fate is still teasing because Mama actually invited AJ to eat dinner. I just pulled it out of my head but Mama noticed it was a wrong move.

"Is there a problem, Clare?" I just shook my head and smiled at Mama. Even inside I'm really annoyed. It's annoying.

Mama left and seemed to go to the kitchen. I took the opportunity to glare at AJ.

"Oh! Why are you looking at me like that?" He still asked innocently. Doesn't he know, I'm even more shocked by his look. It's just annoying!

"Hey! You're AJ Rafael Fernandez, don't act like that because I'm not happy" but instead of being happy because I scolded him, the fool was really pissed off because he actually smiled at me. stop me I'm going to hit it.

"My girlfriend is mine. She's cute, cute, angry" and he pinched my cheek. I just hit his hand.

"Oi, I am not your girlfriend and I will never be your girlfriend" I scolded him and turned my back on him. I was about to leave when he spoke again which made me even more pissed off.

"Actually, I have become your girlfriend if you forget" I faced him. This one is really bad.

"Yes, by the way, I will never forget that. Do you know why you almost killed me, right?" I laughed sarcastically to make him angry.

But instead of responding to what I said, his expression immediately changed. It was as if you knew that as if his face looked like he was sorry. It's like showing mercy. It's just irritating, isn't it?

"Sorry. Even if I'm sorry, I'll say it just so you can forgive me" and I also saw her tears fall one by one. Tell me, what kind of trick is that, AJ?

"I'll never see you again--" I was cut off because the door suddenly opened and it spat out brother Xander.

"Oh! AJ, how are you bro?" then my brother did a bro-handshake with this man. Do they know each other?

*-*-*

"WHAT?" I shouted from my mind. It's annoying! Who would have thought that this man was my brother's friend? You know that it's like you're the only one who doesn't belong because your older brother and the man you hate understand each other plus your father is happy because, besides Mitsue, I introduced a man to them. Just pissed off, right?

Then Mama couldn't stop smiling at the three of them. Maybe Mama thought AJ was her son too. Aish! It's annoying. I'm really annoyed. And do you know what's so annoying? Mama even let this AJ have dinner here at home. They say that I only visit once in a while and Papa and brother Xander only get to talk once in a while.

Alas! What they said was that they voted for that man for me. Which is annoying. I do not like this.

"Really?" AJ asked smiling while asking my Dad. It's annoying. They are just like troops.

So even though I was very annoyed, I just kept my mouth shut and maybe I could say something against AJ and maybe Papa would give me a sermon.

"Yeah. AJ, you really are a nice young man. I wonder why you're not married yet? Don't you have a girlfriend now?" I don't know why when I heard Mama say 'girlfriend' I immediately reacted. Do you think that the pineapple juice I'm drinking will almost splash my brother Xander's face?

And of course, Papa noticed me so the spotlight shifted to me - I mean everyone's attention.

"Ija, are you okay?' I just smiled at Papa and said I'm okay and I continued my food to get their attention back on that man. It's annoying!

"No Sir, I don't have a girlfriend right now. In fact, I'm dating a girl here in Japan, the only thing is that she doesn't like me too much because she's throwing me away" you know that feeling, you know that you are the one being hit by the person you hate. It's just annoying!

And do you also know the feeling of him looking at you? Annoying. The way he was looking at you while he said those words and while wearing that face that looked like an awake dog.

"Bro, who is the youngest?" Brother Xander asked AJ mischievously while messing with my neat hair.

"Brother, what's wrong with my hair" I pretended. But my brother just looked at me.

"You know that with your bravery, no man will last you, not even AJ" I was horrified by what brother Xander said. What the heck?

Then if fate really teases. I even saw AJ grinning.

That dinner ended with only them talking. I don't want to get involved anymore. I'm just annoyed. After dinner, I forced AJ to go home, it's hard to tell stories.

"Oh! What's wrong with you Clare, why do you treat your guest like that?" Mama asked me gently.

"Mom, he's not my guest. He's just an apple that likes to be applied" and I was about to go up the stairs to my room when Mama spoke again causing me to stop.

"By the way, AJ looks at you dear, his eyes show how much he likes you and I believe you also have that feeling towards AJ, why not let those feelings go and be happy?"
