CHAPTER 8
The More I Know About You
Monday started with a wonderful morning; we saw Vinny riding through the street using his fixed gear. The time he got to school, he went to do his cleaning duty and help other students. Vinny is an introvert or maybe an ambivert because he will only talk to someone who talks to him, not because he doesn't want to communicate or have contact with someone but because he doesn't have a topic to discuss with anyone other than Shin, Kuro, and Haruto. Vinny is also a nonchalant person and also very direct and to the point, even when it comes to serious or sensitive topics. We then see Vinny finishing his cleaning duty; he goes to the classroom after putting the cleaning equipment in the stockroom.
The day goes by as a normal day for everyone, everyone except Akari. She is conscious because thinking about Vinny as her classmate and boss at the same time confuses her; she doesn't know if she needs to call him boss, master, friend, classmate, or manager. We set sail to the time they are in the store.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Good day, everyone. This is Akari; she is my classmate and also a new part-timer here in our store. I hope you guys get along, and please take good care of her."
The people then clap for Vinny's little and simple speech and also welcome Akari as their new team member or new co-worker.
(Japanese) (Akari)
"Excuse me, Vinny, can I talk to you for a sec?"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Yes, sure. What seems to be the problem? You seem anxious even this morning. What's up?"
(Japanese) (Akari)
"Oh, sorry you noticed that; it's just that I don't know what to call you and all…"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"…pftt, hahaha, that's all? Hahaha, you made me laugh this hard hahaha. That's cute of you hahaha. Anyways, sorry for laughing at you, but you can call me anything you want. These guys only call me boss because they are so loyal to me, and also some of them just like to call me boss or big boss, but you can call me anything you like."
(Japanese) (Akari)
'*Blush* Oh, it's good to see you laugh, I guess, and thank you for confirming, and also you don't laugh that often; it looks good on you when you smile. *Smile*"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"*Blush a little* Is that so? Never thought of that before. *Smile*"
(Japanese) (Akari)
"See what I mean? It looks good on you, hehe. Anyways, I should be working now. Thank you again for confirming my curiosity, big boss hehe." *Runs back to the counter*."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"*Blushing a little* Is my smile really that important or attractive? *Smiles*"
Vinny then heads to the office or the staff station or something like that; he then starts doing his job while coming across Akari's portfolio.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
(Akari's portfolio, huh? Might as well read it; I never get the chance to know Akari better.)
While Vinny is reading the resume of Akari, he sees that Akari is not from Tokyo and is actually from Kyoto. It also says on the resume that this is the only time she gets to go to Tokyo, so she doesn't know the way around that area or is not familiar with it.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
(Wait, so Akari is not from Tokyo but rather from Kyoto? She also doesn't know or is familiar with the places? Hmm, this might be a good opportunity for me to know Tokyo. I don't really know the area around us either. I might as well invite her for a patrol around the city later tonight, or is it more applicable this weekend?)
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"*Goes to the counter* Akari, come here for a sec; I have something to tell you."
(Japanese) (Akari)
"*Goes to Vinny* Yes, you need something?"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Yeah, I would like to ask if you want to take a detour around Tokyo if you want, because I also see, or I just saw it just now, that you are not also familiar with the place, so I was thinking if you want to come along."
(Japanese) (Akari)
"So a date then~~ hehehe okay, I'm in!! "
(Japanese) (Vinny)
*Blush* Date!!?"
The people around look at him.
(Japanese) (Akari)
"Hehehe, I'm just joking. Come on."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Ehem! That caught me off guard, not gonna lie. Anyways, we see each other at the park then this Saturday."
(Japanese) (Akari)
"Alright, I think I'm good with that."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"It's settled then; see you on Saturday, and go back to work."
Everyone continues their work. The update about the squad is that they are getting the hang of it and getting ready for the race. The race will start in November, and its only August; they still have a lot of time to prepare. Hikari thinks of something; she wants to see how strong they become and thinks that they should do a long ride with Vinny, so she messages Vinny.
(Japanese) (Hikari)
/Hey Vinny, can I ask something?
(Japanese) (Vinny)
/Yeah? What is it?
(Japanese) (Hikari)
/Well, first of the training that I gave to the team is all, working like a charm as usual, but I want to test how strong they become, so I was thinking I should do a long ride and ask you to join us.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
/Yeah, sure, why not? This Sunday will do. I have to do something on Saturday, and I still need to work on the café on these weekdays.
(Japanese) (Hikari)
Alright, that will do, and also with this ride I would humbly like to make us do a sprint at the very beginning.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
Wait, don't tell me that you want us to race that guy?
(Japanese) (Hikari)
/yes, a 3-on-3 race with them, but this will be a long ride, so I would like to see how strong their stamina and endurance become.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
/You really have no mercy, but okay, I'm cool with it. I've never gotten to race, so this will be a good warm-up. Set up a place where you will be going.
(Japanese) (Hikari)
/Alright, noted, boss!!
The day goes by, and everything goes normal. Hikari already told the guys about the long ride and the race. She also promised that she would give them something in return. Vinny is now searching for where they should go for Saturday. He's planning on going to a café to taste other cafes' coffee and going to other shops to buy new clothes and a jacket. Vinny also asks Akari where she wants to go, and Akari tells her that she wants to go to a café and just let him decide where they should go because she doesn't really know where to go or what is the good spot to rest and all.
(Note: So guys I was wondering if this story is good to make an comics, this story is inspired by windbreaker salute to you Yongseok Jo for creating windbreaker it's so bad that they have to cancel it tho but everything have a reason so yeah I respect that hope he can make a new awesome series again, anyways this is also inspired by my past when I fell inlove to a girl that can't really express her feelings truth fully not intentionally but she doesn't really know how to express it, I was also planning on making this story so long and more event in to it like building a business Vinny get a wife, a kids and many more, hope you guys support me. If ever I got a allowance or some money for this story I will find a good artist who can make this story a comics or manhwa, well if not then I still will be continuing this story one way or another that is all and thank you for reading my story.)
