Sunday 4 December - Daytime
Somehow Miki had ended up in a relationship with Yu Ling. He didn’t know how it happened or why it happened to him. Yu Ling was the type of girl he avoided because he wasn’t sure what they are capable of. She was also the type of girl that Miki had no idea had to end it with. They didn’t belong together. His anxieties had grown ten times worse since the day it all happened.
He contemplated how he could break up with her. The worst thing that could happen is her crying, which would destroy Miki inside. Or she could turn him over to her vicious friends Kanako and Kasumi. He shuddered at the thought of the damage they were able of committing against a person of Miki’s stature.
At one point, Miki considered going to his dad for advice. That’s what dads were there for: handling girl problems, right? Then again, dads are usually happy with whomever their son is dating, just happy they found someone. A dad would never understand.
So Miki decided to go to the only other person he knew that could advise him. This person knew everything there was to know about relationships and girls. He had plenty of experience and insight on the matter. Ichiro Toriyama was a lady’s man.
He had arranged to meet up with Ichiro today. It was more of a birthday hang-out to celebrate Ichiro’s big day the day before. After all, Miki had spent all of yesterday in the student council office collecting presents for Ichiro. In the end, there was a good size pile, thanks to the teachers (who were probably just sucking up to the Headmaster by going through his grandson) and underclassman who hoped to get a good spot in the student council.
Arriving at Ichiro’s door, Miki knocked lightly while taking a deep breath. The military complex frightened him.
