Chapter 12 - 12. Two Minds Same Forgetness

[ Yuna closed the app. ]

Yuna: I can't tell you about his past, Mika. That's not something I can say to someone I just met… I hope you'll know sooner or later.

Krishna: I made a promise that I won't tell you about his past. But I'll make sure Yuki says it himself.

[ Back in Mika's room, she's tapping her pen against the desk. ]

Mika: Maybe he is like me.

[ Her phone on the desk buzzed; the vibration caught her attention. She opened it, and it was a message from Yuna. It says… ] 

Yuna: Sis, I forgot something important. DO NOT TRUST HIS WORDS. It might be a bit dramatic, but he doesn't just lie; he creates a whole new story for it. Never trust him without asking me.

Mika:She didn't sound like she was joking. I'll keep that in mind.

[ She starts to type, but another message pops up. ]

Yuna: Can you spy on him? I know it kinda sounds creepy, but I want to know what's happening in his school life. He won't tell me everything about it.

Mika:Yuki got an annoying sister. Okay, I'll do it for you, and thanks for telling me all of this. (Sent it) I almost sent "thanks for your information".

[ Scene shifts to Yuna, looking at her phone; the bunk bed is just a few feet away. Yuki finally woke up. ]

Yuki: I took too much time. What is she doing right there?

[ Yuki notices Yuna sitting at her desk.

[ Yuki climbed down from the top bunk and walked to Yuna and tapped on her shoulder. ]

Yuna: (startled) What are you doing here?

Yuki: I would like to ask you that.

Yuna: Can't you see I'm doing my homework?

Yuki: Something is up. She is hiding something.

[ He let out a yawn. ]

Yuki: I'm not in the mood to find it out.

Krishna: (smiles) This will be the worst mistake, Yuki. 

[ Scene switches to Mika, who is eating lunch with her mother. ]

Mika: I'm positive that he is like me. Am I forgetting something?

[ Scene cuts to Yuki walking away from her, and she sits in the chair beside her. ]

Yuna: Yuki, what happened to your group project?

[ Scene cuts to Mika, sitting at the dining table and thinking. ]

Mika: Oh my god.

[ Scene cuts to Yuki sitting on the chair. ]

Yuki: I totally forgot about it.

[ The scene cuts to Mika, hit in hard realisation. ]

Mika:  I totally forgot about it.

Harini: What did you forget?

[ The scene cuts to Yuki sitting on the same chair, holding his head. ]

Yuki: We have to submit our project on Monday.

[ Scene cuts to Mika sitting on the dining table, tapping the table. ]

Mika: We only have two days to submit our group project, three if I include today.

[ Scene cuts to Yuki with his phone. Searching for Angelina in SayHi. ]

Yuki: I have no other options. I need a favour. (sent it.)

Angelina: (message pops) You can ask others, you know, there are a lot of people.

Yuki: Come on, you're the only girl I know. Annoying as ever.

Angelina: (message pops) You know that I won't help you.

Yuki: That's a misunderstanding, you know, and it's important.

Angelina: (message pops) Okay, fine, what is it?

Yuki:  I want to talk to Mika.

Angelina: (message pops) Oh, I get it, the shy guy fell in love with someone.

Yuki: This is why I hate friends. It's worse — we forgot about the group project.

[ Scene cuts to Angelina's phone. She got a message from Mika. ]

Angelina: How could you even forget that? What is she up to?

[ She clicks Mika on the list of people. ]

Mika: I want to talk to Yuki.

Angelina: He said the same.

Mika: So you do have his ID.

Angelina: He is my old friend after all.

Mika: You didn't tell me that, and if he is your old friend, how is it that you don't know about him?

Angelina: I get it, he is not like others. He barely talks; he only replies to me, and even if I ask him anything. He always brushes it off.

Mika: Oh, I see. Sounds like him.

Angelina: This is his ID, "Yuki12".

[ Scene shifts to Mika's phone. ]

Mika: Okay, fine.

[ She texted hi to Yuki, and he replied. ]

Yuki: Yeah, I remember, I know why you're texting me.

Mika: Impressive, you finally remember it now.

Yuki: Thanks to my sister, I remember it. What are we gonna do?

Mika: I'm just as clueless as you.

Yuki: I'm not good at planning, so why don't you do it? Please?

Mika: You say this, but you'll be thinking something like "this is such a pain to ask her", don't you? Fine, I'll tell you at school.

Krishna: Tada, you guessed it right. Anyway, you wouldn't hear this.

[ Mika is looking at the ceiling like it has a solution. ]

Harini: (faint voice) You got a partner who is just like you.

Mika: That's right, though.
