Kira sat sulking in the living room with the phone in her hand. Just then, Gouenji walked in and saw her in that sad state.

"What's wrong?" He immediately asked with worry.

Kira remained quiet for a while evidently deciding in her mind whether to say it or not. Finally she gave up and answered, "It's just... ugh it's all ruined now... I was just... " Gouenji's curiosity heightened more and more with each word and he began to grow restless.

"What is it?" He asked eagerly again.

"I was just trying to learn Japanese with this app. I thought I'd surprise you but I'm just so lost. " She sadly looked down at her phone.

Gouenji gasped inaudibly as he was taken aback by this thoughtful gesture. He sat down beside her and put his hand on hers.

" It's okay, the fact that you tried means a lot to me." He tried to assure her with a smile. But this did not cheer Kira up.

"My goal was not to try, my goal was to learn it." She sulked, "I know you don't like speaking in English..." She answered and then with amusement she added, "... even though you have a cute accent."

"Shut up I don't." He mumbled as he looked away, embarrassed.

"Will you help me learn it?" Kira asked.

" Yes of course. " He answered making Kira cheer up instantly.

...

" Wrong again, Kira. It's not 'Aa' it's 'O'. We've been over this three times. " Gouenji explained somewhat exhausted.

" It all looks the same to me!" She exclaimed in annoyance.

"How does it look same to you? They are two entirely different letters!" He reasoned with agitation.

"That's easy for you to say. It's your language!" She yelled and flopped her head down on the table in frustration.

" Okay let's go over this again. " He said with a sigh.

After another fifteen minutes, still no progress was made.

"Kira you need to pay attention!" He finally couldn't take it anymore, "You are not paying attention! It really is not that hard!"

The next moment he saw Kira stare at him with a glum face. Before he knew it tears were brimming in her eyes which she was trying hard to fight back. He gasped realising what he had done.

"Why are you being like that? You know I'm trying. Can you be a little less stern about it?" She cried.

Gouenji now felt really bad about the way he had gotten carried away. He just wanted Kira to stop crying.

"Please stop crying." He reached out and softly wiped the tears away from her face but this did not affect her much. She continued to sniff occasionally.

He then shifted closer to her and pulling her back into a hug he rested his head on her shoulder,

"I'm sorry I yelled at you. Please stop crying. " He spoke in the softest way possible, "I promise I won't do this again."

A minute later Kira finally calmed down and felt better.

"Shall we begin again?" He gently asked her and Kira nodded and began writing. When she was done she glanced back at him with questioning eyes.

Gouenji looked at the notebook and then at Kira. He smiled and hugged her again before finally giving his answer in a soft voice,

"Wrong. "
