You stood up from your seat, smiling and quickly ran towards your guardian. "Yumi-san!" You exclaimed as you tackled her in a hug. "I missed you!"

Yumi pat your head and smiled. "Sorry, I took so long, it's hard to take care of a baby, you know?" She said as she put her bag down on the couch.

"So, what are you four doing?" She asked.

"Well, we're just eating dinner." You said. "Join us, Yumi-san, you must be hungry after travelling that long."

"It's okay, you kids continue eating dinner." Yumi said as she yawned. "I'm going to sleep now, it was really tiring."

You smiled and nodded. "Okay." You said as you watched her went up stairs and into her room.

**********

"It's been a while since we've seen Yumi-san!" Gon said as he fixed his pillow. "How long did we live by ourselves?"

"Two or three weeks? I don't know, I didn't bother to remember." Killua said, plopping down on your bed next to you.

"Two weeks and a half, to be exact." Kurapika said.

The three of them was inside your room, talking to each other. You looked at Killua beside you, who's eyes were close. "Why are you in my bed, Killua?" You asked.

Killua opened one eye. "Oh? Well..." He said as he blushed. "I just want to, okay?! I'm not going to sleep here!"

You sweatropped as you smiled. "Alright. Well, I'm going to sleep, because..." You yawned. "...I'm tired!" You said as you flopped down to your bed.

Kurapika smiled at you. "Okay, sleep well." He said as he grabbed one of your books. "I'll stay here until I find the urge to sleep."

"Okay..." You said as you slowly closed your eyes.

**********

Yumi lazily got out of her bed as she felt a sudden urge to use the bathroom. As she exitted her room, she passed through your room and saw that it was slightly open. Curious, Yumi peeked inside your room.

Her eyes watched as she saw you sleeping peacefully with an unusual position while the boys were doing their own things. Yumi smiled, seeing that everything is okay, and was about to walk off but stop when she heard a voice.

"Geez~!" Killua whined as he fixed your sleeping position. "(Y/N) needs to stop sleeping unproperly! This is troublesome..." He complained but still, fixed your position.

Kurapika stood up from the floor and grab your blanket as he smiled. "Yes, but Killua, there's no need for you to deny." Kurapika said as he covered you with the blanket gently. "Sleep well, (Y/N)."

Killua blushed and "tch"ed at him. Gon giggled and went over to you. He gently moved a strand of your hair on your face. "Nighty-night, (Y/N)." Gon smiled.

Killua stared at the two of them in jealousy as he stomped over to you and said a flusterred "Good night" to you even though he knew that you were already asleep.

Yumi's eyes sparked with interest as she observed the mens' behaviour. Yumi smiled as she went downstairs and to the bathroom before going back to her room.

**********

The next day comes and Yumi began to do chores once again with you and the boys' help. This was no different from the other days, with you helping your mother-like guardian and the boys helping you out of kindness. But unknown to the four of you, Yumi was observing every of your and the boys' movements.

As you all finished with the chores, Yumi came back from the kitchen with snacks. "Here you go, consider this as the token of my appreciation for helping me with the chores." Yumi said as she placed the tray of snacks in the table infront of you.

You and the boys smiled and got each one of you some snacks to eat while Yumi sat on a another couch, reading a book about animals.

"Oh, Gon, Killua! Slow down at eating!" You scolded as you removed the bits of their cookies dropping on the couch.

Gon and Killua immediatly stopped and turned to you as they give you a goofy grin. You pouted at them as Kurapika handed you the tissue. "Geez, you guys are like babies when you eat! The food is going everywhere." You scolded as you cleaned their faces with the tissue while a blush can be seen on your face.

Kurapika chuckled slightly and you turned to him, tilting your head to the side in confusion. "What is it?" You asked.

Kurapika stopped chuckling and pointed at your face. "But (Y/N), you're the same. You have bits of food in your face as well." He said as he got a tissue and wiped the food of your face. You blushed deep red as he continued to clean your face while Gon and Killua glared while pouting at Kurapika in jealousy.

Yumi looked up from her book and observed the four of you. She observed your blush, your behaviour, the two boys' jealousy.

With all that in Yumi's mind, she smirked slightly as she finally came to a conclusion.

**********

After dinner, you went outside and sat  to the bench near your house and start watching the stars. Unknown to you, Yumi followed you outside. Yumi saw on how deep you're thinking. That rarely happen, Yumi knows that. For the time you and her spend together, you in a deep thought is a rare sight. But that made Yumi's conclusion even more true.

Yumi went over to you and pat your shoulder, slightly startling you. You turned around and smiled widely once you saw Yumi. "Yumi-san!" You exclaimed as she giggled and sat down next to you.

"Hello." She said as she stared on teh stars and so did you. After a while, Yumi spoke up. "So it finally happened, huh?" She suddenly said.

You turned to her confuse. "Huh? What do you mean?" You asked, confused.

Yumi giggled and turned to you before flicking your head. "My little girl finally held a love for a certain guy." She said, giggling.

You blushed deep red at her. "E-Eh!? H-How did you find out?" You asked, not even denying it.

"It's pretty obvious, (Y/N)." Yumi said. "The way the four of you react to each other, there's no way that is mere friendship."

You bit your lips and looked down while Yumi put a hand on your back. "What should I do, Yumi-san?" You asked.

"Nothing." Yumi bluntly answered. "It's normal for your age to fall in love with someone."

You looked up at her. "No, it's not that!" You protested with a blush on your face. "It's-"

"...That the three of them have a crush on you?" Yumi finished for you.

You stared at her before looking down and nodded. "Yumi-san, have you ever been in a situation where three guys said they love you? If so, who would you choose?" You asked.

Yumi looked up and thought for a bit. "I never been in that situation, (Y/N)." Yumi said, smiling at you. "But if I do, I'll probably choose the one that I feel I'm mostly attracted to."

"How about you, (Y/N)? Have you choosed someone yet?" Yumi asked. You shook your head, no. Yumi smiled. "But can you feel that you have already fallen for someone in the three?"

You nodded. Yumi then turn serious and looked to the stars. "Then, I suggest you find out that person you fell for." Yumi said as she turned to you. "Because if you don't choose right away. You'll end up losing the three of them."

You widen your eyes at Yumi. "Eh!? No, I don't want that!" You yelled.

Yumi then smiled. "Then, you should find that boy." She said. "In love, everyone must make risk and sacrifices."
