[Chaptered] Dear Master Sakurai Sho (Case 1 : Love letter) 4/?
“NO! Definitely no! I don’t need a tutor!” he yelled at his mom. I looked at the egoist boy in front of me. I couldn’t believe that I must make him graduate and be accepted in high school. I‘ve checked his report and I thought it was miracle that he could survive until third year in junior high school.
“Look at your report, you need a tutor!!” Mrs. Matsumoto, his mom, tried to persuade her son.
“I don’t need a tutor!!” he yelled at his mom again.
“You won’t graduate if you continue to remain like that!!” his mom yelled back. Like mother like son...
“And who is he...?” he asked and pointed towards me.
“Your tutor...,” she answered calmly. “His name is...”
“Ahhh...Sakurai Sho desu,” I bowed to him, and he nodded slightly.
“How old is he?” he asked his mom.
“Same age as you, but he’s already got a scholarship, and also accepted in Aoyama high school...,” Yes, I’ve already been accepted to Aoyama High School, an elite high school in my city. He looked at me from head to toe. I felt like he tried to observe me. It made me feel really uncomfortable, but there’s nothing that I can do about it. I needed this job so badly. The great payment and I need to do almost nothing but help that boy enter high school, which was good because it was my specialty. Until I saw his report and his attitude, he won’t easily co-operate with me.
“He will come every day until you’re accepted in Aoyama High School...,” his mom kept telling him that. What?? Aoyama high school? With this kind of grade?. She must be kidding me...
“No! What about my extracurricular?” He asked his mom, almost begging to her.
“No extracurricular until your grades go up,” she answered him firmly.
“Anooo...”
“Yes, Sho-kun?” Mrs. Matsumoto turned to me and smiled.
“Matsumoto-san can try to study with me...if he thinks that I`m not a good tutor for him we can stop, or maybe when his grades doesn’t improve. About the extracurricular...We can make a schedule for it, adding more time in Matsumoto-san free day...”
“Actually I think it`s a good idea...,” he talked to his mom. I knew he won’t lose his extracurricular that’s why he must agree with me.
“Okay...,” Mrs. Matsumoto nodded to his son.
“Yoshh!! My name is Matsumoto Jun, yoroshiku onegaishimasu, sensei,” he bowed slightly to me and left the room.

“Wowww...Sho-chan...,” Aiba looked at me with a surprise expression.
“Nani?”
“ You`re actually so close with Jun-pon ne...?” he asked me. I thought for a while. I don’t think so. Our relationship just between a tutor with his student.
“Not really...I think...”
“But you got him accepted in this high school...”
“Ahhh...he is actually pretty smart...he just need to study more,” I answered him. That`s true enough, Matsumoto Jun was so smart, he could catch up with lessons fast. And lucky for me, I got more money and I could save it.
“No wonder...,” Aiba looked at the ceiling, looked like he’s trying to remember something.
“About what?” I asked him.
“He asked me about you before...,” he answered me and smiled.
“What kind of question?” I questioned him.
“Like...how are you...when you`re sick and can’t go to school, he will ask where are you...are you okay...something like that,” he answered me and smiled at me. I’ve never heard anything about this before.
“I think he hates me...”
“No sho-chan... he really care about you...,”he nodded and smiled again. I smiled back at him, that`s why I feel really comfortable with Aiba, he could see into someone deeper than other people did. I felt so relieved I had him beside me...

The next day we woke up as usual, I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and Aiba was putting on his school uniform.
"Ah.. Why? Why can't it be tied well today" Aiba was trying to do his tie, well it seems like he is fighting with it more likely.
“Let me." I walked towards him in front the mirror with my tooth brush inside my mouth. I tied it in less than 2 minutes and made sure it is in place. " here you go, master Aiba!!."
"Ahhhh.. Thank you, Sho~~~!!." He almost suffocated me while he hugged me so tightly.
"Aiba… *cough*.. I got it that you are *cough*… grateful." here we go with the cough again, I guess I caught a cold.
"Here" Aiba handed me his handkerchief to wipe my nose.
In few minutes we were in school, and we went to the lockers room immediately to change our clothes to our sport wear, sport class was first today.
"Ah, what is this.." I grabbed the little white piece of paper.
My eyes widen due to the surprise when I started to read the paper.
"Aiba, My assists… The secret lover left me another letter in my clothes locker.
"Really!!!!." He said in excitement. "Let me see it."
Dear master Sakurai Sho,
It`s looks like you are trying hard to find me. So I`ll give you one more clue. You had saved my life once. You can run after me but first take care of your cold, lemon juice will help.
-Tensaibaka-
" WOOOW, He’s really in love with you, Sho-chan~~~!!." Aiba said in a very cheerful voice. "He even knew that you caught a cold already, WOW." He almost jumped up and down from the excitement.
I was really socked… So he loved me that much.. and what’s with the I saved his life thing?.. A lot of ideas stormed inside my head at that moment.
"Why? Why did he know about my cold, Aiba." I asked his trying to wake up a little from my stormed thought.
"Of course because he loves you a looooot~!." Aiba jumped and opened his hands widely showing his how much he was thinking that secret lover loves him.
"Yeah, and how he knew about this much, baka!." I slapped his arms to make him calm down a little bit.
"I just was imagining, mou~~ sho-chan." he put on his pouty face in front of me.
"What are you two arguing about now??." Nino walked into the lockers rooms with Jun.
" Nothing~~!!." I said.
"It is a roommate to roommate stuff, ne sho-chan~!." he put on his healthy smile face on and looked at me.
"Yeah" I nodded.
"Whatever~~!" Nino went to his locker to change his clothes.
" Anoo, Aiba-chan.. could I talk to you for a moment??." Jun asked.
"Yeah, sure~!." my roommate answered . "It is something important?." he asked this time.
Jun only nodded.
Aiba looked at me and said. "We will be at the roof, if the teacher were to come and ask."
The two boys walked out of the room.
***
It passed 10 minutes and class has started for awhile now yet those two haven't returned yet.
" Sakurai-san, do you know where is Aiba and Matsumoto went, they are late???."
"Yes, sensei.. I will go and call them." I ran out of the sports class and went to the stairs that led to the rooftop.
And I was really shocked about what I just saw…
My roommate and my classmate's faces were really close to each other.. so close..I don't know what these 2 were doing now.. I couldn't call them, not when they’re like that. I couldn't even stand there and see what’ll probably happen in any second now.
I just ran out of that area… I really don't know why I do that.. I don't know where my legs will lead me to..
