Confrontation!

The next week was a complete blur for Fanzer. Everything eventually meshed only leaving Fanzer with slight memories of anxiety and confusion.

"Maybe she's stopped? That would be great," Fanzer let out a light sigh as he opened up his locker, only for an abnormally large number of notes to fall out.

"Goddamn. That is a lot of dedication," Jumin whistled, sounding impressed.

"Stop that, stop being amazed by this!" Fanzer yelled, causing his friend to raise his hands in submittance.

"Sorry sorry, it's just hard to not be impressed. It's also getting really hard to ignore... that," The model gave a very small gesture to the hiding and laughing stalker in the distance.

Jumin expected Fanzer to respond, but when he didn't he gave his friend a look.

Fanzer was looking at the notes, a large blush covering his face.

"She's... in depth," Fanzer explained, covering his face in his hands out of embarrassment.

Out of confusion Jumin picked up one of the notes and started to read it and only after a few words his face grew flushed like Fanzer's.

"I agree..." Jumin let out a low chuckle, nervousness for his friend lightly coating the laugh.

"Jay, if I get kidnapped make sure you delete my search history. My mom can't know what's on there. Oh, and make sure my 28 drafts all get uploaded," Fanzer requested from Jay, who gave him a two-finger salute in response.

"I'll make sure you aren't forgotten bro," Jumin told his friend, sweeping a hand through his black hair as they gave one another a fist bump.

Jumin had an audition of some sorts so he couldn't walk with Fanzer. They had to say their goodbyes because they both knew he'd be getting stalked by Kotone a little bit closer without the model around.

They reluctantly walked their separate ways and Fanzer didn't even have a minute of peace before Kotone creeped up on him.

"Jeez, her presence is overwhelming..." Fanzer sighed, causing Kotone to giggle maniacally.

"Ah Fanzer just sighed again! This was the 13th time today! Does he feel my intense love? Is that conceited of me. Oh my, he's walking at a faster pace than just 15 seconds ago. I have to make sure to keep up with him, hehehe..." She spoke to herself, her eyes focused on Fanzer and Fanzer alone.

Fanzer felt a chill go up his spine as he heard Kotone, feeling very odd as she spoke to herself.

Today, Jumin recommended for Fanzer to do something he could only explain as "absolutely insane."

But they were best friends and he decided he'd do it anyways.

The day went on as usual, writing, watching videos, and gaming until the end of the day arrived.

In the middle of writing an alarm on Fanzer's phone went off, reminding him of what he said he'd do.

He reluctantly dragged himself off his bed, going into his kitchen—ignoring the box of cookies that were certainly not there an hour ago—and started cooking.

"I may not cook a whole lot anymore, but I'll be damned if I disrespect the family name of Yukihira!" Fanzer grinned, quickly taking ingredients from his fridge and giving them all a silent glance before snapping his finger excitedly.

"I know what I'll do!" He let out a loud laugh before getting to work, his smile never fading through the process.

Just a mere 15 minutes later, he had a meal ready. He sat his dishes in the sink to wash later before he sat the nicely presented plate on his dining room table, writing a small note onto a piece of paper and setting it down next to the plate.

With a sigh—this time of relief rather than exhaustion—he went back to his room and closed the door behind himself.

"Jumin, I can't believe I'm listening to your absolutely insane plan," Fanzer laughed to himself in utter disbelief.

In his very own kitchen was Kotone, as he and Jumin expected.

"I'm in Fanzer's home again! His scent is wafting through here! I'm breathing the same air he was breathing!" Kotone gasped in, a blush coming onto her face as she did.

Out of curiosity she looked at the meal the writer made, peeking at the small note Fanzer left. Her eyes widened as she noticed it was addressed to her.

"Dear Kotone, you've given me food and some... riveting notes. Here's one of each for you, so we're even. P.S. Jumin says hi! P.P.S. It's honey garlic chicken and white rice. P.P.P.S. I'm really sorry for throwing away those notes, I know how much effort it takes to make those." The note read, causing her face to go completely red out of joy.

"Dear Kotone... I'm his dear! He even made me food and took his time to even write me a note," She took a deep smell of Fanzer's food, her mouthwatering at the thought of eating it.

She didn't waste much time before grabbing the fork on the plate and taking a big bite of the food.

Saying it was exceptional would have been disrespectful.

Kotone took another bite, then another.

It felt as if the entire world fell away and Kotone was left with Fanzer.

It was as if Fanzer fed her with his very own hands, making sure she felt exactly as he wanted her to feel. She felt every bit of love and effort Fanzer put into the food, and it brought a tear of happiness to her eye as she ate it.

In no time, the food was gone, with Kotone having shed a few tears of happiness as she did.

"Fanzer's own time and energy has been given to me and me alone! This is so amazing I can only cry tears of joy!" Kotone cheered, her eyes shining with raw joy as she finished her plate.

Her smile grew as she noticed there was still things to do within the kitchen.

After an hour of waiting Fanzer returned into his kitchen, and he could only stop and look as a smile came onto his face.

On his table, there was paper towels covering it and on top of them were several cut up pieces of cookies, saying something simple but effective.

"Thank you."

Looking away from that he noticed all the dishes were handled, with his kitchen seeming completely spotless.

"This... doesn't seem too bad."

-----

"Yo!" Jumin gave Fanzer a quick high-five, cheering as his friend told him what happened.

"Jeez, it's not that deep," Fanzer laughed, but Jay only shook his head in disagreement.

"Nope, I don't think you understand properly. You handled this about as well as it could've been done. She's cleaned up your house at least twice, brought you food, and when you cooked for her, she said thank you? Maybe it's nothing to you but to me it sounds like you have a G.I.R.L—" Jumin was interrupted by Fanzer waving his hand back and forth.

"Nah, it's just a weird... friendship. Wait, can I even call this a friendship? Is that friend-zoning her? Am I friend-zoning myself?" Fanzer asked, scratching his head as his friend hesitated to give an answer.

"I... don't actually know. I don't think it matters to her a lot though, not with all those letters you promised not to throw away. She seems even more... giggly today," Jumin gestured to the distant hiding third-year.

"Maybe things'll be chill from now on. Just maybe," Fanzer weakly suggested, causing Jumin to raise his eyebrows.

"I can dream, alright?" Fanzer sighed, gaining a weak nod from his friend in agreement.

"You can dream. You can dream, my friend."

Fanzer hated to admit it but being stalked for some reason didn't bother him nearly as much as it should've.

Within the three weeks—three weeks and two days to be more specific—his senior stalked him she'd done nothing to hurt him on purpose, and it was hard for him to feel too uncomfortable when she'd willingly clean his home without him even saying anything.

If anything, he felt kinda bad because he hadn't given her much back.

He had to stay at school a little bit late in order to help the school's main journalist.

He didn't like it, but his articles gained a lot of traction whenever he published them, so he provided some help to his fellow writer when they asked him to.

Gladly, that was done, and he was heading home.

"I wonder how Kotone's doing... She doesn't seem like a bad person at heart," Fanzer hummed to himself before a hand was forced over his mouth and he was forcefully dragged into a room before he could realize what was happening.

"It's been 3 weeks, 2 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 31 seconds and now I'm finally touching you again! I know I've said it in letters and text messages, but I have to say it in person now." Kotone pushed herself against Fanzer after trapping him inside of a classroom.

"I love you! We're destined to be with one another!" She didn't give Fanzer any time to react or say anything in response before mashing her face against his, starting to intensely make out with him.

"Ah, I'm here because I totally jinxed myself!" Fanzer mentally cursed as Kotone pushed herself against him.

Her tongue forcefully invaded his mouth with no sense of privacy or personal space. She swished her tongue against his own, forcefully swapping her spit with his.

She pulled away for a moment, and Fanzer thought he could've gotten a moment to breathe but then Kotone just dived back in, not even letting him get a word out.

Wanting to have some handle on the situation Fanzer kissed back and switched spots with Kotone, lightly but firmly pushing her against the wall.

When he finally got some control, he broke off from Kotone, both parties panting due to the intense kiss.

His mind raced to find the proper question to ask, his eyes meeting Kotone's. Her face was flushed, but she was clearly incredibly happy as she looked at Fanzer.

"Out of all places, in school, really?" Fanzer questioned, causing Kotone to giggle, happy to hear Fanzer's voice so close to her.

"I'll tell you if you—" She didn't even get a chance to finish before Fanzer gave Kotone a french kiss, making sure to try his best to satisfy her.

He pulled away to look at her, quickly noticing her nose bleed.

"I got a nosebleed from how perfect you are, hehehe..." She giggled, and Fanzer couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"My first kiss was a french kiss... so was my second. My god," Fanzer spoke to himself, causing Kotone's face to light up.

"That was your first kiss... Fanzer and I shared a first kiss! We truly are meant to be with one another!" Blood rushed down her nose faster, slightly startling Fanzer.

"Kotone—" She giggled as she heard her name leave his mouth, "I'm absolutely going to regret this in one way or another...." Fanzer thought before he continued.

"Come to the park near my house. The one we pass as we walk... as I walk and you... follow me," Fanzer couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth as he said them, but he finished slowly to make sure Kotone understood him.

"Yes, Fanzer, I promise I'll be there!" She gave him a tight hug, pulling his face into her chest before letting him go and quickly sprinting off.

"I... Wow," Fanzer stood in disbelief for a moment, unconsciously licking his lips from time to time.

By the time he was moving again multiple minutes had passed.

"So that happened."
