Rumor

Yuki replies.

Yeah.

I put a band-aid over it.

That's why it tasted soooooo good. I didn't know you were the owner of such rare and precious blood. I'm surprised."

Im surprised, too. It feels amazing to have your blood sucked. I thought it would hurt because of the bite.

I told you. It's as dangerous as a drug.

"... Hey, Marc, have you ever bitten anyone other than me since you came to Japan?

"... Well, yes. Yes, I have.

"Just biting?

...! Isn't that obvious? What are you talking about?"

Marc, you must have been excited.

"... I got excited because it's Yuki. What are you making me say!"

Yuki laughs softly, am I being made fun of?

I'm going to work today. It's going to be a busy day.

We eat breakfast and go to work together. Yuki's working at her clinic today. I examine patients as usual. When there's a short pause and the patient queue is cut off, the nurse says to me,

Doctor!

She pats me on the back.

?

I'll tell you in time. Just wait a little longer.

She replies with a smile.

It's not fair! One of us can't just luck out! If this happens, I'm going to go on a bunch of blind dates!

Mana says with a snort. Hearing this, Mika also adds.

I want to find a good guy and make love too!

Seeing this, Rico, the receptionist, lets out a sigh.

What are you competing with each other for? Isn't this a matter of fate?"

Hmph!

And the nurse team looks at Rico.

"Could it be! Rico. You too..."

Yes! I have a boyfriend! Hes a guy who majored in the same department in college as me. He managed a bar where I went for drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. And then things got exciting... and we started going out."

She says with a blush on her cheeks and a grin.

You beat me to it..."

They both drop their shoulders in disappointment.

Oh well. Nurses are very popular, so dont worry. It's fine. I'm sure you'll find a good person sooner or later. Hey!

The two stand there, not replying to Yuki's words. They are staring at each other's faces.

I'm definitely going to find a good partner first!"

That's what my heart tells me.

Yuki thought.
