"You should probably rest too. Because you are space out frequently, maybe you're tired already" Yuzuru said and Shine can see that Yuzuru is displeased by the way she and Allen looked at each other awhile ago.

"I am really sorry about earlier, you really have my full attention now. And besides, it's only 10pm here"Shine said as she try to make her conversation with Yuzuru last longer.

"By the way, I can see that Min and Allen are really close?"

"Ah yes! But I don't mind it, in case, you are wondering. Like, I told you before; I am 'jello' when it comes to things like that"

"Because you are an only child" Yuzuru said what Shine wants to add.

Shine nodded in agreement.

"I am jeal..."Yuzuru didn't finished what he wants to say, because Mommy Hanyu knocks on Yuzuru's door and enter. Yuzuru turn around and see his mother.

"Yuzu, the JSF just called. You should call them back" Mommy Hanyu said in nihongo.

Yuzuru nodded and Mommy Hanyu leaves. Yuruzu face Shine again.

"Sorry about that, but I really think, it's time for you to rest. You still have work tomorrow. Besides, I have to go too, because the JSF called and I will have to call them back"

Shine can't hide the disappointment in her face and pout.

"We'll talk again" Yuzuru said trying to make Shine smile.

"I promise!"Yuzuru said and swear in front of Shine.

Shine smile a little, though, she is not ready to finish their conversation.

They both say their goodbyes and closed her laptop.
....

It's 2:00 am when Shine wake up and feeling thristy. She decided walk down the stairs to get a glass of water, when she saw Allen talking to someone. Shine frown as the image of the person become clearer -it's MIKKA.

"Why is Allen talking to her? And on top of that: this early?" Shine's inner self asked with her arm crossed and tapping.

"Hana!"Allen called a bit surprised by Shine's present.

"Mikka? Why are you here this early?" Shine asked, frowning as she walks towards them.

"I have something to tell you" Mikka said with a smile.

"To ME? What is it? And How did you know where I live?"Shine asked as she sit in the vacant chair in Allen's side. Shine can't hide being displeased in seeing her.

"I know you are not happy to see me but I am here to warn you; Mr. Black is on the move and even us can't track him"

"Mr.Black?" Shine asked herself.

"The scarred man in the party HANA"Allen answer her unspoken question with emphasize to her name.

Shine frown and nodded.

"But, why are you tell this to me?to us?" Shine directed her question to Mikka.

"Just because... we are friends" Mikka said with a smile.

"Damn it! Why does she is always look so beautiful when she smile?!? But, honestly, Mikka being here is quite a relief. At least I know Yuzuru is safe in Japan without her" Shine said to herself again.

"Thank you" Shine said instead but the suspicion in her face is still visible.

"I know you don't trust me but I want Yuzuru to be happy, I told you before I love him and I don't want to see him hurt" Mikka said. She can easily read Shine's face.

"I don't remember having any conversation with you" Shine lied as she clearly remember the day, that Mikka gave her the picture of Yuzuru and her.

"Really Shine? you are really going to stick with that story?" Mikka said mocking Shine.

"I am not SHINE! I think I made that clear already!"

Mikka squint her eyes.

"Thanks for the information Mikka" Allen said as he decided to interject himself to the growing tension between Shine and Mikka.

"You're welcome! I also need to leave now" Mikka then stand up and bow. She is gone seconds later.

"Why is she telling that to us?" Shine is still confused.

"I don't know but I am going to find out"Allen answer and frown -he is suspicious about Mikka's present.

Allen then look at Shine.

"Why are you still awake? It's 2 am already"

"No, I am actually sleeping when I feel my throat is dry"

"I see, I think you should go back to sleep now; it's still too early"

"Right, after I get my drink" Shine said and stand up.
.....

Three days had passed since Mikka went to see Shine. And after, there is no news about her again -she is in Japan or in Canada no one knows.

Shine is thinking of what Mikka said three days ago when their phone in the reception rings.

"Good morning! This is Hana, How can I help you?"

"Hana, I need you and Monika in my office now" Elvin commanded in the phone and hang up.

"Monika, Mr. Johnson want to see us in his office now"

Monika don't seem surprise, in fact she was waiting for it. Shine look at her suspiciously.

Monika smile to Shine and come close to her.

"It's nothing really, it's just that we are going to have a uniform now. Allen arrange it to happen"Monika whisper in Shine's ear.

"Uniform? Why?"

"I don't know. But it's always for safety reasons for Allen"

Monika and Shine just out of their post when Nam greet them enthusiastically.

"Hey! Girls, where are you going?"

"We are going to see Mr. Johnson" Monika answer Nam.

"Why?"

"We don't know"Shine answer almost truthfully.

"Monika! Hana! Where are you going?" Javier suddenly asked again as he just walk-in holding Yuzuru in his nape.

"They are going to see Mr. Johnson" Nam answer for them.

"I see. Hey! Look who I found outside?"Javier said happily as he is referring to Yuzuru.

"Yuzuru? Why are you here? Isn't your supposed to be back in mid of August?" Monika asked -she is surprised to see Yuzuru.

Shine and Yuzuru looked at each other and smile. They both remember the day of his arrival yesterday.
.....

Shine receive a text from Yuzuru around 9:00 pm.

Yuzuru Hanyu

Are you still awake?

Hana Kim

Why?

Yuzuru Hanyu

Can you see me for a while?

Hana Kim

Sure! Just let me open my laptop.

Shine excitedly open her laptop and see Yuzuru smiling to her.

"Hello!" Shine said and she can't hide her happiness to see him again.

"Hi! What are you doing? Is Min still around?"

"Nothing actually. Min is not here anymore. Sadly, he already need to leave and his parents"

Shine suddenly notice Yuzuru's background and cover her mouth.

"Where are you?" Shine asked to confirm her intuition.

Yuzuru smile and his eyes turn to line.

Shine see the answer she is looking for and quickly run downstairs. There, she see Yuzuru standing at their living room and he is smiling nicely to her.

"Hi!" Yuzuru said waving.

Shine can't control being happy to seeing him in person again and run towards him. She throw her body to him and hugged him tightly. Yuzuru also did the same.

"I miss you" Yuzuru said while he hold her head.

And Shine's hugged become tighter.
....

"I happen to finish my business in Japan early, that's why I am here" Yuzuru explain.

"Are you going to stay here until your first assignment?" Javier asked.

"Well, maybe. It depends actually"

"It depends on what?"Nam asked.

But before Yuzuru can answer, Kazumi come out of nowhere and hugged Yuzuru tightly in front of them.

Shine frown as she see Kazumi hugging Yuzuru.
