MMBTS EP 1
Miki
Chi, want to go grab something to drink with me after class?
Chi Sen
Can't. I am going to the library later.
Miki
but we just went there yesterday
Chi Sen
I finished reading these books early yesterday.
Miki
are you sure you slept well?
Chi Sen
do I look like I did not have a good night sleep at all?
Miki
hmm no wonder you can not meet any guy in your life
Miki
you are always so busy with reading your books and you are even okay walking the streets all by yourself
Chi Sen
Well... who can't?
Miki
and not to mention your emotionless mood
Miki
Is that the effect of too much reading I see?
Miki
if bookworm had a face it would be you.
Chi Sen
I just refused to go with you and you have already said an entire book.
Miki
I know why you are acting like this today Chi you did not sleep well last night
Chi Sen
Huh? How can you tell?
Miki
your sleepy eyes, faint voice and do you really think I don't know you Chi?
Miki
Duhh where is Bubbly Chi?
Miki kept on checking Chi's face.
Chi Sen
Alright alright you win
Chi Sen
I'm just tired today
Chi Sen
I drank too much coffee last night it did not made me sleep at all until 4am
Miki
Oohh talk about being responsible and stupid at the same time
Chi Sen
yeah right whatever Miki
Chi Sen
I will just take a nap
Chi Sen
wake me up when our teacher is here.
Chi took a nap on her desk while waiting for their teacher to arrive.
Miki
Ugh fine you take a nap well okay?
"One day you will reach your dreams Chi but you will also lose the ones around you"
"Chi, life is unfair. You will be happy now but later life will make you cry your heart out."
"Come with me Chi, Let us explore lofe together"
Miki
Chi! wake up already!
Teacher Yu
Chi, can you repeat what I have discussed just now?
Chi immediately stood up causing her a headache.
Chi Sen
No, Sir, I can not.
Teacher Yu
and why is that?
Chi Sen
I accidentally slept in class
Teacher Yu
I do not want this to happen again. Can anyone help Chi recite the summary of our lesson for today?
Miki
You should really stop pulling an all-nighter just to finish your book, Chi, especially when we still have class the next day.
Chi Sen
I did not overslept that much earlier in class. It was just 15 minutes that passed.
Chi Sen
But thank you for helping me
Miki
I tried waking you up but you were already deeply sleeping
Miki
It was not a nap at all
Chi Sen
I can not go home with you today Miki
Miki
That is okay. I know what you are doing anyways.
Miki
I will just go home with Lin
Chi Sen
Okay, see you tomorrow Miki
Miki
Remember what I told you Chi don't harm yourself
Chi went to the school library to return the books she borrowed yesterday.
Chi Sen
Here you go Mrs. So
Chi carefully placed the books on the table
Mrs. So
Don't tell me you read these books in just one night, Chi?
Chi Sen
Eh? Hehe I guess I did
Mrs. So
Is that so? you must really love reading huh?
Mrs. So
okay, your library card please?
Chi handed her card to Mrs. So
Chi Sen
Here you go ma'am.
Mrs. So
Are you not borrowing more books today?
Chi Sen
I have other places to go to today, Ma'am so I will not be borrowing from here for today.
Mrs. So
Oh, what a busy young lady you are.
Mrs. So handed her back her card
Mrs. So
Make sure you sleep well okay? I heard you slept during Mr. Yu's class.
Chi Sen
Hehe yes ma'am. It won't happen again.
Mrs. So
okay okay, be safe on your way
Chi walked her way to the library which is a kilometer away from her school and home.
Chi likes to walk to have a greater view of the beautiful scenery around her.
After walking for so long, she finally arrived at the public library and looked for the book about the stars.
Hiro and Chi's hand touched when they both reached for the same book.
Hiro Haku
Hm? I got it first
Chi Sen
Huh??? I got here first
Chi Sen
I did not spent hours of walking just to get here and argue with a stranger
Chi Sen
it's none of your business
Chi grabbed the book and went straight to take a seat.
While Chi's reading the book, Hiro sat besdie her.
Chi Sen
Don't even try to do anything stupid.
Hiro Haku
I just came here to share the book with you.
Chi Sen
Hm? can't you look for another copy?
Hiro Haku
Please don't try to ask stupid questions.
Chi stopped reading and looked at Hiro dead in the eyes.
Hiro Haku
I mean, that is a limited edition book you know. I already asked the librarian but they said there's no more copy of it.
Chi shares her book with Hiro and they spent the next 3 hours just sharing the same book.
Chi, however, was not just reading it but also takes down important details.
Hiro Haku
Uhm sorry to disturb you but may I ask what are you writing down?
Chi Sen
just details from the book
Chi Sen
how about you? are you just reading?
Chi Sen
Hmm what an answer.
Chi looked at the wall clock and it is already 7:24pm
Chi Sen
It's already late, I will head home now.
Hiro Haku
I'll go home with you.
Chi Sen
I'm good walking alone
Chi picked up the book and proceeded to go to the librarian to have it chevked and borrowed
Hiro Haku
Huh? you're walking? alone?
Hiro Haku
I should be the one asking you that, Why?
Chi Sen
I love looking at the stars at night. It has a better view when I am walking.
Hiro Haku
Then I will walk home with you
Chi finally got her book and put it in her bag. She then starts to walk her way home.
Chi Sen
Sorry, but I don't know you.
Hiro Haku
Then let me introduce myself, I'm Hiro, Hiro Haku.
Chi Sen
And I am Chi Sen. nice to meet you.
Hiro Haku
Same to you. Then will you let me walk with you?
Chi Sen
I live a kilometer away from here, you?
Chi Sen
Okay, you do one stupid thing and I will not regret knocking you out.
Hiro Haku
Hahaha don't worry, I am not a bad guy.
Chi Sen
all bad guys say that
Hiro Haku
then, I am a good guy trust me.
Hiro Haku
what should I say then?
Chi Sen
it is all good. I think you are good.
Hiro Haku
Wait, let me take my bike. It's parked nearby.
Hiro took his bike and went back to Chi.
Chi Sen
Why are you even walking with me at this point?
Hiro Haku
I told you, I want to walk with you.
Chi Sen
Thank you for walking with me then
After having a long walk and conversation, Chi finally reached her area.
Chi Sen
This is already my area. Thanks for walking with me, Hiro.
Hiro Haku
You do live in a nice neighborhood. My area's a couple blocks away. See you again, Chi.

Mom

Chi continues to chew her food and swallows
Chi Sen
Mom, I did brought one
Dad
So, what is that book all about?
Chi Sen
It is about the stars
Dad
Oh you want to be an astronomer someday?
Chi Sen
I'm not good enough yet
Dad
we all learn before we all know
Mom
Your Dad is right, Chi, you study hard and you will achieve your goal. Just like your Dad,studying hard.
Mom
As long as you keep your grades high, you will be able to continue moving closer to your dreams.
Chi Sen
I should go back to my room now
Mom
Uh huh but finish your food first. You do not want to get distracted while reading.
Chi finished her food and drink before going back to her room.
Chi Sen
This is really interesting... "Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies."
Mom
Chi, do not stay up all night okay? I am going to turn off the lights now.
Chi Sen
Hmm I wonder what it is like to be with the stars
Miki
I am glad you did not stay up all night this time
Chi Sen
I only read one book
Miki
That is new, did your eyes got tired already?
Chi Sen
I am only focusing about stars starting today
Miki
Well good for you Chi
Chi Sen
How about you Miki?
Chi Sen
What are you focusing on right now?
Miki
I am focused on my studies
Chi Sen
Then What is your dream?
Miki
I want to be a designer
Miki
I want to design clothes and houses and rooms
Miki
I just want to people to see beautiful creations around them
Chi Sen
I am so excited to see you become one
Chi Sen
I will let everyone know about you when the time comes okay?
Miki got excited and ran off to school
Chi Sen
Hahaha wait up Miki!
When they got to the hallways, girls are spread on both sides of the hallway
Chi Sen
I did not see these many girls around the hallways
Miki
Well, it is probably because the handsome Haku is nearby
Miki
That is what you get for not paying attention to men
Miki
Haku is a transfer student this year.
Chi Sen
we better hurry to class before Teacher Yu makes fun of me again
Miki
Hmmm really Chi? (￣^￣)
Chi Sen
Yup you know I already got teacher yu's attention yesterday
Chi Sen
Don't worry he is already a student here I am sure you will meet him often around
Chi and Miki ran to their classroom before the bell rings being the only girls in the room.
Rey
Oh Miki? Why are you here too?
Hyuri
I thought you are also waiting for Mr. new guy outside?
Rey
We have no problem with Chi being here alone at times like this, but MIKI!?
Miki
Shut up already I am only here because I do not want to be late you know
Hyuri
Yeah? Talk about change
Hyuri
Now you realize no matter how long you stand in front of that guy he will not still see you
Miki
and why is that Yuri!?
Hyuri
because he is too tall to see you
and they all burst to laughter
Chi Sen
I think you are just jealous because Miki's attention is on that new guy instead of you.
Hyuri
W-what are you talking about Chi!?
Rey
Ooohh Hyuri!!! I did not know you have hidden feelings for Miki
Chi Sen
Well it is not hidden anymore
Rey
Hey Miki, why so quiet?
Chi leans over to Miki beside her and whispers
The bell rings and all the students rushed inside to their seats.
Right after they have taken their seats, teacher yu stepped in.
Teacher Yu
Ladies, you almost caused a stampede.
Teacher Yu
Were you all waiting for me outside?
Teacher Yu
that is what you get for not laughing at my joke
"It was so corny I thought he was about to sell pop corns" Chi thought to herself.
Teacher Yu
Okay let us continue to our lesson then.
Miki
Waahh finally class is over
Miki
Chi, do you want to grab something to eat with me?
Chi Sen
Sorry, Miki but I still have to go to the library today
Miki
It is fine. I understand
Miki
Focus on your dreams hard okay?
Chi Sen
Huh? Hyuri what is it?
Chi Sen
She just left. why?
Hyuri
About what happened in class earlier
Chi Sen
Oh Sorry I let you down back there
Hyuri
no no it is fine. I am glad you brought it up
Hyuri
it will be easier for me to confess to her
Hyuri
Is she seeing someone yet?
Chi Sen
Nah I think you are all good
Hyuri
okay okay Thanks Chi
Chi starts to walk to the public library again to return the book she borrowed.
Chi Sen
It is cloudy... I hope it will not rain tonight
Chi Sen
I did not bring my umbrella
Chi stopped walking and faced the beautiful scenery on her left. She can see the green mountains and the city below it.
Chi Sen
I hope this will stay the same
Chi continues walking until she reached the library
Chi Sen
I am returning this book please.
Librarian
do you have your library card?
Chi roams the book shelves looking for books related to astronomy.
Chi Sen
aha... only one huh?
Chi took the book and went to take a seat
Chi Sen
"...the center, or core, of the star collapses in less than a second."
Chi Sen
hwaa what a terrible life it must have
Hiro Haku
studying astronomy huh?
Hiro seats beside Chi and places his open book on the table
Chi replied without taking her eyes off the book.
Chi took a glimpse of the book placed next to hers.
"Stellar Evolution?" she thought to herself "Studying astronomy too huh?"
She looked at the person beside her and it is Hiro
Chi Sen
You are studying astronomy too?
Hiro Haku
I am surprised you are studying it too
Chi Sen
yeah I want to become an astronomer someday
Hiro Haku
Yeah but my Father wants me to become a Doctor like him
Chi Sen
So you are not going to pursue being an astronomer?
Hiro Haku
PhD in Astronomy
Chi Sen
Oh I wish you all the best
Chi Sen
I do not think I am good enough yet to take such big step
Hiro Haku
You are going to do great
Chi Sen
Easy for you to say
Chi Sen
You are wearing the same uniform in my school, what class are you in? we must be in the same year. I am in year 4
Hiro Haku
I'm in Class A-1
Hiro Haku
you are in Class A-2 right?
"well this is embarrassing" Chi thought
Chi Sen
Yeah, h-how did you know?
Hiro Haku
I have been seeing you for a while. I am even surprised to see you here other than in the school library
Chi Sen
uh huh, I try to read as much books a s possible to gain knowledge. I want to keep my grades high
Chi Sen
Then I want to study astronomy but I feel I do not fit in
Chi Sen
it requires really good skills mostly in math and science which I am still not good at
Hiro Haku
Then we should study together
Hiro Haku
starting today we should study together.
Hiro Haku
it is the best way we can help each other right?
Chi and Hiro continued to read their books and head home together.
Chi Sen
Are you sure you are okay walking with me?
Hiro Haku
It is fun walking here
Chi Sen
yeah and the view is so great too
Chu stopped and looked at the beautiful scenery again.
Chi Sen
I love this view from up here. You can still see the dark figure of the mountain and the busy streets of the city below.
Hiro Haku
You are right. It is really beautiful
Hiro Haku
I did not even notice this
Chi Sen
I pay attention to my surroundings to see the beauty that lies with it.
Hiro Haku
maybe that is why I saw the beauty within you
Chi Sen
I did not hear you
Chi Sen
you sounded like you were whispering
Hiro Haku
Hahahaha you are funny
Chi Sen
anyways we should get going now
Hiro walked Chi home and then went on his way home.
Chi Sen
Mom, Dad, I am home
Mom
Hmm Chi you should not practice going home late okay?
Chi Sen
sorry mom I just enjoyed reading so much
Dad
But still you should be aware of the time okay?
Mom
Go change your clothes now, Dinner is almost ready
