Yabuki Nako's POV.

"You have to tell them now, Nako-yah," Yuri told me.

We went out of the Karaoke Room to talk. She kept convincing me to tell Minju the truth about me working.

"I-I don't know how, Yuri," I said. The thought of my friends despising me terrified me.

"You have to do it... to lift the burden in your heart. Trust me, she'll understand." She said and smiled at me.

"Let's go?" She said and offered her hand.

I held her hand and deeply sighed.

We went in and I was staring at the floor.
I was scared. Until Yuri gently held my chin and helped me face Minju and Hitomi.

"It's time to tell them, Nako-yah," Yuri said to me.

Minju and Hitomi stopped singing and looked at me. They looked so confused.

Hitomi looked down and saw Yuri and I's intertwined hands and looked... hurt.

Her eyes looked like she was in pain.

"Tell us what?" Hitomi asked. Looking straight into my eyes.

"I... I... Uhm." I spoke, I was shaking and my eyes were trembling. I looked at Yuri and she mouthed the words "it's fine. they'll understand."

"Actually, Yuri and I—" I started. "WAIT. DON'T TELL ME YOU TWO ARE DATING?!??" Minju looked at me with her eyes wide open. "NO. WE'RE NOT." Yuri and I said in unison.

"Min, can you please listen first?" Yuri said.

"Oh. Right. Sorry." Minju said and threw a peace sign.

"Yuri and I saw each other a few days ago by accident and.." I said and told her my story and how Yuri and I talked the other day.

"Yeah... that's what happened," I said finishing off my story.

After what I said, the room was dead silent. The only thing that's making noise is the background music in the karaoke machine. It was a bit dark because we wanted to see the disco lights better.

I couldn't really see Minju's expression.

It got me worried. Yuri must've noticed so she held my hand again and gently caressed the top of it using her thumb.

"Soooo. WAIT SOOOOO You're telling me that you currently work in the convenience store near our school AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!?" Minju said, her tone didn't sound good.

Holy shit. Is she mad? I think she's mad.

I looked down as the tears started to form. My vision was getting blurry.

"I... I-I'm sorry." I said and sniffed. I started crying.

"Hey, Dummy. Why are you crying?" She went closer to me. Her voice sounded softer than her tone earlier.

"I.. t-thought you're mad," I said wiping the tears using my jacket's sleeve.

"I just wanted to ask you why you didn't tell me. I should've bought the entire store so you wouldn't have a hard time working there." She said and chuckled.

"Come here, Dummy." She said and hugged me. She was taller than me so her hands were wrapped around my neck while my hands were wrapped around her waist.

I started crying sooo hard that they started laughing at me. They said I looked like a kid who's crying because someone stole her lollipop.

They all accepted me and for Hitomi, she just stayed quiet. I was actually out of my head for the past few days and I couldn't tell her. Now, I feel kinda bad about it.

Yuri was right. All the burdens have been lifted. I feel so much better now.

I'm really happy that I have such friends. I'm lucky I met them.

I found the right friends.

We sang a lot of songs. And I didn't expect Yuri to have such a great voice. I mean.. GIRLIE PROBABLY ATE CDs FOR BREAKFAST. Her voice is really really really good.

After that, all of us went home. Hitomi and I walked home because we agreed on that. We stayed quiet. Too quiet that it started to feel weird for some reason.

"Hii. I'm sorry." I spoke up. She looked at me. "About what?" She said. "For not telling you everything," I said. She smiled and said it was okay.

When we arrived home. Hitomi went inside her room to take a shower and so did I.
After showering, I went to the living room and saw Hitomi scrolling through her phone. She was sitting on the couch so I sat next to her.

Fairy Nako:

Ppangtomz:

Minguri:
As if. Am I not already your sugar mommy? I have to take care of 3 children. One who's addicted to bread. One who always wants to bicker with me and the tiny dwarf.

Hamster Yul:
