Free Web NovelChapter 21: Growing Bond
Reiji froze when he heard that.
"Which Mom?" he whispered.
Hina always called both his mother and her own mother "Mom," so it could’ve been either of them.
Then Hina pointed at him. Reiji immediately understood. It was his mother.
Hina picked up the call and Kaori’s enthusiastic voice immediately came through the phone.
"Hina-chan! How are you doing...?"
"I’m good, Mom. What about you?"
"I’m doing better." Kaori replied before sighing softly. "I know you must really miss him, right...?"
Hina lowered her voice slightly.
"Yeah... I miss him a lot..."
Reiji stared at her in complete disbelief.
’She doesn’t need an Oscar. The Oscar needs her.’
Her acting skills were so good that even Reiji almost started believing he had actually disappeared.
"I know..." Kaori sighed sadly. "Even Reiji’s father disappeared too. I just hope they’re both safe wherever they are."
The room suddenly became a little quieter.
"But enough of that." Kaori’s tone brightened slightly. "I’ve decided we’re all going on a vacation."
"...Vacation?" Hina blinked in surprise.
"Mhm. I want everyone to relax and enjoy themselves for a bit. I have a feeling those two idiots are still alive somewhere."
Reiji twitched slightly after hearing himself and his dad being referred to as idiots.
"I’ll come pick you up this evening, Hina-chan."
"...Where are we going?" Hina asked softly.
"Dubai."
"..."
"And I’ve already invited Keiko-san and Yuki-chan too."
"My Mom and sister...?"
"Of course." Kaori chuckled warmly. "They’re family too. Besides, Reiji’s two little sisters have been asking about you almost every day."
’I don’t want to go... I want to stay with Rei-kun...’
Even Reiji found himself thinking the same thing. ’Just when things between us were finally getting better... Mom, why now...?’
"Don’t forget, Hina-chan. Be ready before evening, okay?"
"Okay... I’ll be ready."
The call finally ended.
Hina slowly lowered the phone before turning toward Reiji.
The two of them stared at each other silently.
"...Dubai?" Reiji muttered.
Hina quietly nodded.
"..."
"...Can I secretly put you inside my suitcase?"
"You know that would cause a lot of problems Hina..."
"But I’ll miss you a lot..." Hina said while wrapping her arms around him.
"Me too..." Reiji replied before kissing her deeply.
Just when the atmosphere was getting hot, Hina’s stomach suddenly growled in protest.
Her face instantly turned red, too embarrassed to look at Reiji.
"Hahaha..." Reiji couldn’t help but laugh at her. He scooped her up into his hands like a baby, and she was surprisingly light or he was just much stronger.
Hina clung to him tightly as he carried her downstairs.
Reiji gently kept her on the couch before heading toward the kitchen. "I’m going to whip up something good just for you..."
He tied the apron around his waist and began preparing breakfast.
The soft sound of chopping echoed quietly through the kitchen while the smell of fried garlic and eggs slowly filled the house.
Hina rested her chin on the couch while secretly watching him from afar. For some reason seeing Reiji cook made her heart feel warm.
After a while, Reiji placed two plates of omurice on the table along with warm miso soup.
"Have a taste and tell me what you think?" Reiji said as he sat down next to her.
"Okay..." Hina said, picking up the chopsticks. "Thank you for the meal..."
"Hmm... So good..." Hina said as she ate the food.
"Haha... It’s really good...?" Reiji asked, rubbing his nose. Though his cooking was nowhere near Hina’s, it was still pretty decent. "You’ve always been the one cooking for me, so it’s been a while since I cooked. I don’t really know if it’s good."
"Whmm armm yommm sammm..."
"Hina, you shouldn’t talk when eating."
"Sorry..." Hina said, swallowing the food.
She suddenly picked up a small portion of rice with her chopsticks and held it in front of Reiji’s mouth.
"Say ahh..."
Reiji rubbed the back of his neck. "What are you doing?"
"Feeding you, it’s really good."
Reiji opened his mouth helplessly as Hina fed him.
"It’s good," he admitted, feeling a little proud of himself.
After eating, Reiji took the dishes to the kitchen while Hina went upstairs to pack her suitcase.
After Reiji finished with the dishes he quietly went upstairs. Hina, who was busy packing, suddenly stopped when she heard the door open.
"...Are you moving out?" Reiji asked as he saw how full Hina’s bag was.
He suddenly thought of something then quietly went over to the wardrobe.
"..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Almost half his clothes were gone, even some of his underwear.
He turned and looked at Hina.
"I don’t know how many days I’ll spend there and your scent always makes me fall asleep faster, it’ll be just as if I’m in your arms." Hina said casually, not even bothered to be shy about it.
A smirk tugged at his lips as he felt like teasing Hina. freewebnσvel.cøm
He stepped closer, closing the gap between them.
He wrapped his arms around her waist firmly. They were so close that she could hear his heartbeat.
"Hina, don’t you think you’re being unfair?" Reiji whispered.
Hina blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.
"You’re taking almost all my clothes with you and not even keeping some of yours back... don’t you think I’ll miss you too?"
Hina’s heart started racing as she buried her head in his chest.
’I love him so much!’
Ding!

[ಥ‿ಥ You make me proud, Host!]
"..."
Reiji didn’t even bother with the system and continued holding Hina.
"O-Okay..." Hina said shyly as she opened her suitcase and pulled out some of her own clothes. She didn’t remove any of Reiji’s clothes which she took.
Reiji stood there in shock when she handed him the clothes and started changing in front of him.
The next thing he knew, Hina was already in his arms again.
The suitcase lay forgotten on the floor while clothes were scattered around the room once more.
Time passed quickly.
Only soft whispers, muffled moans, heavy breathing, and the constant creaking of the bed quietly filled the bedroom for what felt like forever.
"Harder...! Nngh!" Hina wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
Reiji kissed her deeply and just when both of them were at their climax...
~Ding! ~Dong!
The sound of the doorbell cut through the atmosphere and both of them froze like statues.
