Chapter 13 : Sea Beach (2)
HIROYUKI:
(curiously)
"Hey, Kaoru-chan, have you grown taller since the last time we measured?"
KAORU:
(thinking)
"Hmm, I think so. I'm around 5'7 now."
(Hiroyuki bursts into laughter, surprising Kaoru.)
KAORU:
(confused)
"What's so funny?"
HIROYUKI:
(amused)
"I hate to break it to you, Kaoru-chan, but I'm still 5'10. You're still short compared to me!"
KAORU:
(rolling his eyes)
"Ha ha, very funny, Hiroyuki."
HIROYUKI:
(teasingly)
"But hey, don't worry. You may be short in stature, but you're tall in spirit!"
KAORU:
(smiling)
"Thanks, Hiroyuki. I'll take that as a compliment."
(Hiroyuki, Kaoru, Patrick, and Sato sit at a cozy table outside a beachside cafe. The sound of waves crashing against the shore provides a soothing backdrop to their conversation.)
HIROYUKI:
(sipping her drink)
"Ah, this iced tea is so refreshing. Perfect for a day at the beach."
KAORU:
(nodding in agreement)
"Yeah, and the ocean breeze makes it even better."
PATRICK:
(digging into his burger)
"Man, this burger is amazing. Juicy and flavorful."
SATO:
(tasting her salad)
"The dressing on this salad is delicious. It's so light and tangy."
HIROYUKI:
(smiling)
"I'm glad everyone's enjoying their food. This beach cafe always has the best offerings."
(They chat and laugh, enjoying each other's company and the laid-back atmosphere of the cafe.)
(The group finishes their meal, feeling satisfied and content after their time together at the beach cafe. They gather their belongings and make their way towards the train station.)
HIROYUKI:
(standing up)
"Well, that was a delicious meal. Shall we head to the train station?"
KAORU:
(nodding)
"Yeah, let's catch the next train home."
(The group walks together down the sunlit streets, the sounds of laughter and conversation filling the air.)

SATO:
(agrees)
"Definitely! It was so nice to spend the day together."
HIROYUKI:
(smirking)
"And Kaoru-chan, don't forget to return that swimsuit I lent you."
KAORU:
(chuckling)
"Of course, I'll drop it off at your place tomorrow."
(They reach the train station and wait on the platform for their train to arrive.)

(looking at the schedule)
"Our train should be here in a few minutes. Let's find a seat together."

(sighing contentedly)
"It's been a long day, but so worth it."
SATO:
(nods)
"Yeah, I'm exhausted but happy."
KAORU:
(smirking)
"I guess that's the sign of a successful beach day."
HIROYUKI:
(smiling)
"Definitely. And with great company too."
(As the train pulls away from the station, they settle into their seats, chatting and reminiscing about the day's adventures.)
HIROYUKI:
(looking out the window)
"Thanks for coming out today, everyone. I had a really great time."
PATRICK:
(grinning)
"Anytime, Hiroyuki. You know we're always up for an adventure."
SATO:
(leaning back)
"Agreed. Here's to many more beach days and fun times together."

KAORU:
(contentedly)
"I couldn't ask for better friends. Thanks for everything, guys."
(The group smiles, their hearts full with the warmth of friendship, as they journey home together, their laughter echoing through the train carriage.)
[Patrick and Sato's Extra]
(Patrick and Sato stroll along the quiet streets of their suburban neighborhood, the gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the trees.)
PATRICK:
(grinning)
"You know, Sato, I've been thinking..."
SATO:
(looking at him curiously)
"What's on your mind, Patrick?"
PATRICK:
(sincerely)
"Well, we've been together for a while now, and I can't imagine my life without you. So, I was thinking, maybe one day we could... get married."
(Sato's eyes widen in surprise, her cheeks flushing pink.)
SATO:
(softly)
"Patrick, I... I would love that."
(Patrick beams, his heart swelling with happiness.)
PATRICK:
(excitement in his voice)
"Really? You mean it?"
SATO:
(nods, smiling)
"Yes, I mean it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
(Patrick pulls her into a warm embrace, feeling a rush of love and gratitude.)
PATRICK:
(overjoyed)
"This is the best day ever. I can't wait to marry you, Sato."
SATO:
(happily)
"Me too, Patrick. Me too."
(Hand in hand, they continue their walk home, their hearts full of love and anticipation for the future.)
