You are my Endless Memory: episode 24 ""The anonymous present""

...................................................................

Jumi gathered her courage to put the gift on Joon's desk but she had to take it back because she had seen someone was walking into the room. A tall guy, with a bag on his back, in school uniform and sneakers was holding many presents in his both hands. He walked toward a seat next to Jumi's and smiled.....

"Good morning, Jumi!"

"Um.... Morning Joon!"

Jumi smiled and responded while hiding the present behind her back. Joon quickly noticed she was hiding something...

"Eh! Jumi! Are you hiding something behind your back?"

"Ah!! Um... No... No... Nothing!"

Joon smiled broadly and continued....

"Well... Today is club activities, right?"

Jumi responded....

"Yeah! We have no class today!"

"Hmmmm... I wanna drop by at the library for a moment before the activity. Wanna come along?"

"Um... I.. I... I've got something to do. You go, Joon!"

"Alright then!"

He looked at Jumi for a second, grabbed his bag and left, leaving all the presents on his desk. Jumi took a deep breathe and tried to put the present on Joon's desk one more time but this time she had to take it back again because she had seen Misa was walking back and forth beside her classroom's window. Jumi sighed while looking at the present in her hands.....

"JUMI!!!!"

Someone called out. Jumi surprisingly replied with her eyes wide opened.

"Yeah???"

Since she was too surprised, she quickly put the gift on the floor between her desk and Joon's. The class leader spoke to her.......

"Jumi! I got information from piano club that there are some new members so they want you to go early to get to know each other."

Jumi responded with a smile....

"Ah! yeah... I'm going! Thanks for informing."

Jumi tidied up the presents on her desk, grabbed her bag and walked out of the class....

"Misa!"

Misa turned around and exclaimed....

"Jumi senpai!"

Jumi smiled and replied....

"Merry Christmas."

Misa said with a smile....

"Merry Christmas senpai! How was the date?"

Talking about dating, Jumi started to stammer....

"Um.... It... it... it went quite well. I had fun."

"That's great. Eh! That little bottle is so cute."

Misa said while she was looking at a little bottle which was hanged on Jumi's bag. Jumi casted a glance at it and responded...

"Re...Rea... Really? By the way what are you doing here?"

"Oh?? I'm... I'm looking for Joon senpai in order to give him this."

Misa shyly said and brought out a present. Jumi smiled and replied....

"Ah! I see! Joon is in the library. Go and look for him there."

"Really? Thank you senpai!"

Misa smiled happily to Jumi.....

"You're welcome. Well... I gotta go to the piano club. See you, Misa!"

"See you senpai!"

Since the library and the piano club are in different direction, they had to go on different ways. Misa was walking and smiling happily while Jumi was walking with a pain deep inside....

Misa walked into the library and looked around for a moment. Immediately, she noticed the back of a guy who was sitting by the window. She smiled and walked toward him but what she had seen caused her to stop walking for a second. He was holding a little bottle and looked at it with a smile oh his face. Misa found the bottle was the same as the one she had seen on Jumi's bag. She couldn't help wondering but she pretended like nothing in her mind and continued walking....

"Joon senpai!!!"

He put the bottle on the table and turned around....

"Oh!! Hi Misa!"

"Why are you here alone?"

"Hmmm I just wanna drop by for a short moment before going to the basketball club. By the way I'm sorry about last night. I couldn't go since the train I was on was cancelled to travel."

Misa smiled and responded.....

"That's ok! I understand!"

Then she handed Joon a present and said....

"Merry Christmas senpai!"

"Eh? For me?"

"Yeah!"

"Thank you."

Joon smiled and accepted the present. Misa kept looking at the bottle on the table. Because of curiosity, she decided to talk about it....

"That little bottle is so lovely."

Joon looked at it and replied with a smile.....

"Really? It's a love magic bottle."

Misa surprisingly exclaimed...

"Love magic bottle?!?!???"

"Yeah..."

A strange feeling suddenly came into Misa's mind........

"Hello everyone! I'm Karam, a 1st year student."

"I'm Mika, a 1st year student as well."

"I'm Sakura, a 3rd year student."

New members of piano club were introducing themselves. As they finished, the leader spoke out.....

"Alright! Since we all get to know the new members already. Now it's time for all of you to intoduce yourself to them."

Everyone introduced themselves one by one until Jumi's turn. She smiled and bowed a bit.....

"Hello everybody! Nice to meet you. I'm Jumi, a 2nd year student."

"Eh!?! You're the school princess!!!"

A girl named Sakura spoke out loud which caused Jumi a bit surprising. Jumi responded with a smile.....

"That is just what people like to call me but I'm just an ordinary girl, like everyone else."

"Ah.... You're so modest. I think that princess name really suit you."

Without responding, Jumi just smiled sweetly......

After a whole day of club activities, Jumi left the club and walked toward her classroom in order to take the presents. She went through the door and suddenly bumped into someone's chest.....

"Ooops! I'm so sorry!"

Jumi said and looked up at a tall guy who was standing in front of her.....

"Joon!"

He smiled and responded....

"Hey! You just left the club?"

"Yeah! Joon! You're sweating so much."

"Ah? Playing basketball is pretty exhausting. By the way, are you going home?"

"Um... yeah!"

"Let's go together."

Thinking of Misa, Jumi decided to refuse....

"Um.... I... I've got a meeting with my club friends. So you go first."

"Ok then. Merry Christmas Jumi!"

Joon smiled and left. Jumi had been staring at his back until she lost sight of him. Then she walked into her classroom and took the presents. Immediately she turned surprised because she realized the present that was supposed to give Joon had disappeared. She panicked and tried to look for it but she just couldn't find it anywhere. Out of trying, she held the presents and walked out of her class. Jumi couldn't hep wondering where that present was

.....

"JUMI!!!"

Jumi turned around as someone was calling....

"Sakura senpai!"

"Are you going home?"

"Yeah!"

"Which way are you going?"

"That one!"

"Eh? We're on the same way. Let's go together."

Jumi replied with a smile....

"Sure!"

As they had been walking for quite a while, they arrived a park. Sakura spoke out....

"Jumi! Do you wanna drop by at the park for a moment?"

"Ok!"

They both walked toward a bench in the park. Jumi took a seat when Sakura said....

"I'll go get some drinks. You stay here."

Once Sakura left, Jumi was sitting all alone with many presents beside her. Suddenly, someone stopped his motorcycle in front of her. Jumi was surprised as he took off his helmet.........................................................
