christmas finally arrived, and with it came the much-anticipated winter break. suna and airi traveled back to nagoya to spend the holidays with their family, while everyone else, including rinzu, also returned home.

the break meant time away from school and time away from suna. it had been a week since they talked, as texting felt awkward between them. they both preferred their in-person conversations.

as soon as rinzu walked through the door, her mother immediately sat her down for the usual interrogation about her studies, friends, and, of course, if she was being responsible.

rinzu kept her answers vague, definitely skipping over the more social events of the semester. like her getting drunk and her confusing "friendship" with suna.

on christmas eve, as her family gathered around the dinner table, she was feeling comfortably in the clear, until her brother naoki decided to bring up that topic.

"have you seen the video?" naoki asked, raising his eyebrows and sending a grin rinzu's way.

her eyes widened, and she gave him a death glare, silently pleading for him to keep his mouth shut.

the last thing she wanted was for her parents to find out about the kiss cam incident that had gone viral.

"what video?" their dad asked, casually taking another bite of his chicken. rinzu kicked her brother's leg under the table, hoping he'd drop it, but he just stuck his tongue out at her.

"there's no video." he finally said, but then kicked her back under the table just for fun. she sighed in relief, but that relief was short-lived.

"i've seen it." her mom said. rinzu's heart sank. she knew this was going to be a mess.

"our lovely nosy neighbors showed it to me." her mom continued, giving her a knowing look. their dad just kept eating, oblivious. "i have no idea what you guys are talking about."

sensing that his sister needed some support, naoki chimed in, "he's airi's older brother, though. he's nice and pretty loaded."

"oh, rintarou?" her dad's face lit up as he recognized. "we knew him back when we were in hyogo."

rinzu's jaw dropped slightly. her parents knew suna? this was news to her.

her mom continued, "yes, our daughter and rintarou ended up on the kiss cam at naoki's first match at nationals, and she kissed him on the cheek."

rinzu braced herself for some sort of reaction, but her dad merely nodded. "that's fine. if it was any other guy, i'd get mad."

she slumped in her chair, utterly stunned. not only had she dodged a lecture, but her parents also apparently already approved of suna.
