"Hana, what now? What if he fall in love with Hana, what are you going to do?"Monika repeat her question for Shine.

"Huh?...what?" Shine said as she went back to her senses when she hear Monika again.

"What are you thinking?" Monika curiously asked.

"Nothing, what is that you're asking me again?" Shine said as she tried to compose herself.

"I said, what are you going to do if he fall in love with Hana and court you?" Monika repeat her question for the third time to Shine.

"Don't be silly Monika. It's not going to happen. It's Yuzuru we're talking about; he is smart enough to not fall to someone else's girlfriend" Shine said like she heard something impossible from Monika. But deep inside of her, she is also unsure.

"Is he falling for Hana?" Her inner self asked.

Shine slightly shake her head to erased the thought.
....

One month, after Yuzuru has return to the club to train again. Shine, saw that there are several cameras from different tv stations set up inside the ice rink.

"What's with the cameras?" Shine curiously asked Monika as she enter her post.

"They are filming Yuzu today"

"For what?"

"To see his training. You know, I think the whole Japan is curious to see him"

"Ah ok, but let me rephrase you, I think it's actually the 'whole world' that is curious to see him. Remember the packages deliver for him from his fans?"

"Ah right!"

Then Monika and Shine laugh.

"What are you girls laughing about?" Javier suddenly appear and asked.

"Nothing, we just think that Yuzuru is becoming a big star by the minute" Monika said and points to the cameras inside the ice rink.

Shine went in the back get Javier's key hence, she didn't see Javier's reaction.

"But, Yuzuru is a very private guy right?"Shine suddenly said when she joined them - she is handing the key to Javier.

"right" Javier said looking towards the ice rink and look back to get his key from Shine.

"I think, his skating is an open book but when it comes to personal matter he don't really share it. Not even to us, at least not the very personal matters. And I think he only share those things with Shine"

Then, Javier turn around and lean his elbow to the desk, supporting his weight while he continue.

"But I don't know with Kazumi, they look pretty close, Look" Javier said to Monika and Shine referring to Yuzuru and Kazumi entering the club together.

"Yuzuru been lonely and alone for almost a year now because of Shine. I think it's time for him to move on." Javier said with sympathy for Yuzuru.

"I agree" Monika also said and look sympathetic to him too.

"Alone?"Shine asked but it seems that Javier or Monika didn't hear her.

Javier stand up straight and change his look from sympathy to more of a teasing look.

"So, the new love team is here" Javier loudly said teasing Yuzuru and Kazumi.

Shine frown as she hear Javier say those words -it's hurting Shine.

Kazumi is happy or proud to hear Javier.

Yuzuru just reply Javier with a smile.

Monika already prepare the keys for them when they reach the desk.

"Yuzu, you're becoming a leading man. Is Kazumi will be you leading lady?"Javier tease Yuzuru some more while he grin.

Yuzuru can see several cameras inside the rink.

"Sorry guys about the trouble but it's part of my contract" Yuzuru said apologetic about the cameras as he get his key to Monika.

"It's okay! Besides, your fans will really love it if they see you" Shine immediately said not wanting to hear Yuzuru's answer to Javier's question. And to also erased the guilt feeling of Yuzuru about it.

"Thank you" Yuzuru smile and bow his head.

"Where is Nam?" Kazumi suddenly asked as she is searching for him.

"Yeah! where is Nam?" Javier asked too and his eyes are pinned on Monika -with his one brow raised up.

Actually all the eyes are on Monika, waiting for her to speak.

"Why me? I don't know his whereabouts!" Monika answer defensively.

"Nam, will not be joining our morning practice but he said he will try to make up for his absence this afternoon" Coach Brian suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him with surprised looked in their faces.

"What?"Coach Brian asked.

"Nothing Coach we just didn't expect you to be there" Javier said.

"Javier, Yuzuru and Kazumi, let's don't waste time and start training. Especially you, Yuzuru, since you have been in Japan for a long time. We really need to practice everything in a hurry. Yuzuru, your first competition will be in less than two months, and we haven't perfected your long and short programs yet" Coach Brian said in a authoritative manner.

Javier and Yuzuru looked at each other like this is not a new thing for them.

"Yes, Coach" Yuzuru and Javier then said in sync.

Coach Brian started to walk with Kazumi in his left side.

"So, see you guys later" Javier said and join Coach Brian and Kazumi as they walk.

Shine and Monika smile to them as they leave. Suddenly Monika's phone rings. Monika went in the back to answer her phone leaving Shine alone with Yuzuru -he still standing in front of Shine.

"Yuzuru?" Shine said still questioning his presence.

Yuzuru don't speak and lean forward to looked at Shine.

Shine suddenly become uncomfortable with the way Yuzuru is looking at her.

"Why?"Shine asked.

Yuzuru shake his head and smile -a naughty smile.

"Mata Ne" Yuzuru then said and move backward. He wink to Shine before he leaves.

Shine hold her face as she feel that her cheeks are turning red.

"what was that?" Shine asked to herself -she feel a sudden chill, down to her spine, just by hearing Yuzuru say later.

.....

"Where is Monika?"Allen asked while he's standing in front of their desk to picked up Shine.

"She left already in a hurry. She said something important came up" Shine said as she closed the key cabinet behind her.

"Ah ok. Are you ready?"

Shine nodded. She grab her purse and walk towards Allen.

Nam, Javier, Yuzuru and Kazumi appear.

"Hana are you going home?" Nam suddenly asked -he did make it in their afternoon practice session.

"Yeah" Shine answer.

"We are going to get something to eat, want to join us?" Javier politely offer.

"Maybe next time guys, Allen here wants to go home already" Shine politely refuse. Shine can see a disappointment looked into Yuzuru's face and somehow that makes her happy.

"You promised?" Yuzuru suddenly said making everyone surprise by his boldness.
Everyone looked at Yuzuru with surprised in their faces. Shine, can see a unhappy look from Kazumi.

"Huh?"Shine asked.

"You said you will come next time, is that a promise?" Yuzuru said and Shine never see this side of Yuzuru.

"Ah yes- I guess" Shine confusedly answer.

Yuzuru smile and laugh.

"Just kidding, looked at how serious you look? Go home and take a rest you must be tired."

Shine looked at him and confusedly smile.

"Okay! seeyah guys tomorrow" Shine said and wave everyone goodbye.

Allen slightly bow at them to say his goodbye.
....

It is passed 10 pm when Shine received a text from Yuzuru.

Yuzuru Hanyu

Can you come out for a moment?

Hana Kim

Why? Where are you?

Yuzuru Hanyu

I am here in front of your house :)

Shine didn't reply but immediately rush herself downstairs.

"Hana, Where are you going?" Hyun asked as he see Shine rushing herself down.

"Yuzuru is outside"She briefly reply.

Shine didn't hear what Hyun has to said as she is too focus on the fact that Yuzuru is outside.

Shine fixed her hair before she open the door. There, she see Yuzuru standing and smiling to her.

"Hi!"He greets her waving his hands.

"Yuzuru, what brings you here at this time?"

"I just thought, we don't have a picture together"

"You came for that?" Shine said and the whole idea feel insane to her.

"Yeah"Yuzuru reply and grin.

Yuzuru then set up his camera phone and move closer to Shine, he abruptly wrap his arms into Shine's shoulder.

"Smile!" Yuzuru said angling his camera phone in position.

"Wait" Shine said and turn her head.

Shine and Yuzuru looked at each other; their eyes are like talking to each other. Shine try to move out but Yuzuru hold her tighter in place. Shine's heart rate become fast and she feel like her chest is about to explode.

Yuzuru smile to her.

"I am here because..." Yuzuru stop and smile some more.
