Q&A

***

"Alright then. I will start asking the questions."

"Go on,"

The first question is for both of you: "What is your age?"

"I am 15 years old. I will soon turn 16 though."

"I am also 15 and will turn 16 soon." She answered.

"By the way, now that the topic is here. When is your birthday?" I thought it was a good chance to ask.

"Oh yeah! We don't know each other's birthdays yet. Mine is on the 10th of September."

"That is just a few days before we met, isn't it?"

"Now that you mention it. What about yours?"

"Mine is not really that far either. It's on the 20th of August."

"Quite a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is quite unexpected."

Alright, since we are on the topic, I will ask the question related to this conversation: "When and how did you guys meet?"

"In the infirmary." We both spoke at the same time and then laughed a little.

"That was quite an unusual place to meet for the first time."

"Don't make me remember that time," I said while clenching my chest and making a dramatically funny pose. I hope it was the least bit funny, at least.

"Haha! You really were a mess back then."

"What were you doing in the infirmary?" Jiro asked probably out of his own curiosity.

"Well... that's a long story for another time. But for now, she transferred here and we met in the infirmary." I didn't want to do something like a sympathy card in my videos so I will tell Jiro the details later.

Alright then, the next question: "How are you in your studies? Any favorite subjects?"

"Hmm... I would say I am pretty good at studies. As for my favorite subject, I don't really love any but I guess math is more fun than other subjects."

"I am not as good as Kazuki, but I am pretty good in studies too and my favorite subject is definitely English."

"Wow, you guys really like the easy things, huh?" This comment was from Fujimura-san.

"Was that supposed to be sarcastic?"

"You bet it was." We all chuckled a little then.

Next Question: "How did you guys come up with that unique idea for your first video?"

"That wasn't an idea at all. The video was the result of trying to record without any proper planning and Kayo uploaded it without asking me at all. That video has left an embarrassing scar on my heart."

"Tee-hee!"

"Don't tee-hee me!" Everyone in the room laughed again.

"Alright, next questi—"

Jiro was sitting on the other side of the table in front of us and Fujimura was standing behind him. Their faces weren't showing in the camera. Suddenly both of their faces darkened for a moment and Fujimura stepped aside after that.

"I think I should skip this one?" He regained his composure but there definitely was a moment of distress on his face. As for Fujimura, she also went back to normal after some time.

"Go on, you are the one asking questions." I gave him the right to skip any uncomfortable questions.

The next question had a totally different reaction. His face turned into a smirk. I guess it was time for that question.

Ladies and Gentlemen! The thing that everyone has been wondering about: "Are you two dating?!!" He exaggerated it quite a bit.

"No, we aren't." I was ready for this so I didn't lose my composure. However, that wasn't the case for Kayo.

"D-D-Dating?!! N-no i-it isn't like that at all." Her face was going full red.

"Very well then, I guess we will end this video here. Gotta save some questions for next Q&A's too after all." And with the traditional Like, Subscribe reminder we ended the video.

After the recording ended, Kayo went out of the club room to drink some juice from the school vending machine. In reality, she wanted to hide her embarrassment. Fujimura also went behind her. Kazuki and Jiro were the only ones remaining in the clubroom.

"So?"

"What so?"

"My question from before." Jiro wanted to know the details out of curiosity.

"You really want to listen, huh? Well then..."

Thus, Kazuki told him everything that happened in a summarized form. Jiro just sat there quietly and listened. On the other hand, something similar was happening near the vending machine.

"Do you love him?" Fujimura asked Kayo after seeing her reaction to the question.

"I... honestly don't know. I don't know what love is or how it feels at all. I don't know if this feeling is love or not. Can you tell me what love is?"

"Uhh, Love is... it something that just suddenly clicks, you know. Even I can't really explain it."

"It is complicated, huh? I still don't even know if I did the right thing by coming into his life."

"Will you tell me the details about how you guys met?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

And then Kayo too told her about everything that had happened since they met including about her mother too.

"Are you an idiot?" Those were the first words that came out of Fujimura's mouth when the story finished.

"Huhhhh?"

"Do you really think you did the wrong thing by helping him? I don't know why you feel like this but I sure as hell know that Okawa really appreciates everything you did for her."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Hundred Percent. You don't have to worry about him hating you or anything at all. If he hated you why would he still be making videos with you? He definitely appreciates your presence in his life much more than you can even think. That is how big the thing you did for him is."

"As for your feelings, I am sure one day they will become clear so just wait and let those feelings roam in your heart. Just like roaming freely makes your head clear your feelings will become more clear with time too."

These were the words of advice that came out of her own heart and experience. Kayo wiped the pearl-like tears about to fall from her eyes and gave a sigh of relief.

"You are right, I guess. No point in worrying about things, huh? By the way, I also want to listen to your story. Bout how you confessed to each other." A dark expression got cast over Fujimura's face.

"It... isn't really the heartwarming kind of confession story at all." Kayo realized that there was probably something in her past too."

"I don't mind that. If it isn't then I am still here to listen. If you don't mind telling, that is." Fujimura sighed.

"Will you listen then?"

"Yeah." Kayo nodded gently.

Meanwhile, Kazuki also finished telling his side of the story.

"Hey, that is totally fate at work right there! You guys are literal soulmates!"

"I am not sure about that."

"What is there to be not sure about?"

"I don't know about that." Kazuki shrugged his series of questions.

"Indecisive little brat." Jiro pouted.

"You know you aren't looking cute doing that, right?"

"Really?"

"More importantly, it's your turn now."

"My turn?"

"What was the question and what does it have to do with your past?" Jiro's face darkened a bit.

"You have deduced that much?"

"I am pretty confident about my observing abilities."

"It has more to do with Fujimura's past rather than mine."

"So, will you tell?"

"I guess I can tell you. You might be able to relate to her circumstances a bit after all." Jiro sighed to prepare himself.

"I don't know if it was an insensitive prank or what but the question was 'Have any of you guys experienced sexual harassment?'"

Thus, both Fujimura and Jiro respectively started to share the past that once wounded Fujimura's heart.
