My Little Prince's
Photos of Boys in the Playground

I raised my hand up and continued to stare at the bracelet with a big smile.

While Zen sister just smiled broadly at me.

"Oh yes. I just remembered!" I immediately took and gave a totebag containing two coats belonging to Brother Zen. "Sorry to give it back, brother. You see yesterday just finished washing and ironing."

"It doesn't matter." said Zen's brother smiled kindly and accepted the totebag.

"And that night. Celebration night at the Cafe, thank you brother, has accompanied me waiting for Haku. I even fainted at that moment. And brother is still with me." I said sincerely.

"Did Haku tell you, Yuko?" brother Zen smiled faintly and his face was so calm.

I nodded slowly. "Hc. Haku said that night I fainted, and instead fell asleep on my sister's shoulder. I'm sorry, brother." I said slowly. I really feel bad about Zen.

It seems that I have been a lot of trouble and trouble for Zen sis all along.

"Why apologize?" Brother Zen laughed a little. "It should be the brother who apologized for letting you get drunk that night."

"It's not my fault brother." I smiled at Brother Zen.

Suddenly I remembered the mysterious man who drove Sora home that night. Did I ask Zen?

"Sir ..."

"Yes ... What's up, Yuko?"

"If you may know, who drove Sora home that night when she was drunk?"

"Did Sora not remember?" sis Zen asked while slightly laughing.

"He doesn't remember brother. That's why I asked brother."

"Uhm. That night Ave drove him. Even that night Sora had vomited and hit Ave's coat" said Zen's sister trying to remember the incident.

I was a little surprised by what Zen said. It turned out that Ave's brother was driving Sora that night. And that night Sora threw up and hit Ave's coat? Well, surely Brother Ave is furious. I can imagine what he was like at the time. Must be so scary!

Suddenly I saw a photo on the back wall of Zen. I saw a picture of a boy about 9 or 10 years old who was very sweet. She has brown hair and blue eyes. And he was taking pictures at a playground. I think I've seen that playground. It is similar to the theme park in Hokkaido.

"Is that little boy a big brother? Very funny!" ask me to Zen.

Brother Zen immediately turned his head behind him to look at the photo.

"Yes .." he said, then turned to look at me and smiled. "Have you never seen that boy before, Yuko?"

"What does brother mean?" I was a little confused.

Not yet able to answer my question, we suddenly heard Sora's scream on the 2nd floor. What's up, huh?

Zen and I immediately went up to the 2nd floor to see what was going on.

But we meet Sora who suddenly runs out of a room. His face was slightly red.

"Sora, what's wrong?" manyworry.

Sora just shook his head slowly and lowered his head. Soon from the room came out a very familiar man. Brother Ave? Turns out he's at Zen's house too?

"What's going on, Ave?" now it was Zen's brother who asked Ave.

"Ask the same junior! Why is he playing in people's rooms so carelessly!" said Brother Ave while leaning against the wall and gagging his hands together.

While Sora was still lowered with her face blushing. He didn't even dare to look at Ave.

"Sister. We'd better go home first. We say goodbye first, brother." I said politely and then took Sora who still looks so shocked.

"Hc. Be careful .." said brother Zen kindly.

"Yes, Brother."

"Sora, what exactly happened earlier?" ask me when we get home.

"I was in shock, Yuko!" sora said after drinking a few sips of her cold drink.

"What happened earlier?" I'm very curious.

"So when I was looking at Zen's house. And suddenly when I entered that room. I saw Brother Ave taking off his T-shirt. And I saw it! That's such a shame!" Sora whined and was about to cry.

"Calm down, Sora!" I patted her shoulder softly.

"But I'm so ashamed, Yuko!" he said, closing his eyes with both hands. "It can break my eyes!"

I chuckled at Sora's funny behavior. It's so adorable.

"Why laugh at me anyway, Yuko?" he said a little bit.

"Because you're so cute and adorable, Sora!" I said, still a little laughing.

"Yuko ..."

"alright. Sorry .." I said and snapped my laughter. "So that's why you were yelling hysterically?"

Sora just nodded and pouted a little.

"It was only the first time I saw an adult man who was bare-chested like that other than my father and brother. Moreover, Brother Ave looks very mature!" Sora closed her eyes again with both hands.

"Honestly, I was like that at first, too. And even now I'm still not used to it and I'm still embarrassed to see something like that."

"Who are you looking at?" sora looked at me straight. "I?"

I nodded slowly and still looked at Sora straight.

"Even yesterday at the beach he also took off his clothes because it was dirty. Plus he played surf. Didn't it melt me up? Hiks .." I said.

"Well, the Haku is indeed the intention to tease you." joked Sora who finally laughed back.

"Yes, right?"

"Hc. Oh yeah, you said you'd tell me everything. When you meet again after a long separation. Let's tell you, Yuko!" sora said very enthusiastically.

"But the story is long. How are you bored?"

"No really. Let's tell it quickly!" insist again.

"alright. I'll tell you everything."

I started telling that story to Sora. He's a good listener. He listened carefully and very seriously.

I told her from the time I and Haku were friends since childhood and eventually Haku moved to Tokyo with his family. Until finally I met Haku again when my school held a study tour to Tokyo. I told him that the Haku I met at that time was not a human figure, but a spirit.

I also told her that I had suddenly returned to the past and that I could save Haku and change my destiny. Haku is still alive and now we can be together.

Sora listened to my story very seriously without getting bored in the least.

"You're gonna think I'm crazy, Sora. My story doesn't make sense, does it? I myself am sometimes still confused why it can be like that?" I said look far away.

"I believe you, Yuko. Even though I just knew you. But I really believe in you!" Sora held both my shoulders and smiled so sweetly.

"Thank you, Sora. I'm so lucky to find a friend like you." I said heartily.

"I'm also very lucky to meet and befriend you, Yuko" Sora said and hugged me.

It feels so moved. Until I want to cry.
