But when she dropped the bombshell on him, for the first time she saw him speechless. It seemed as though time was on his side, as before he could reply to her, a changing booth had just opened up. He held up a finger as if asking Mina to wait a moment, and he quickly made his way in the booth.<br/><br/>A few moments after, the booth in front of Mina opened up and out stepped a beautifully tall girl. Her hair was dark, and long. She had fair skin, and looked as if she was made of porcelain. She made her way towards Mina, and before the young girl had time to move, the older girl had brushed right by her, knocking her off balance for a moment. Mina looked at the girl, but she just kept walking without a second glance.<br/><br/>"Some people..." She muttered under her breath as she headed into the booth. Inside, she sat down on the little shelf seat for a moment.<em>Was that really rude of me?</em>She wondered.<em>I mean, just dropping that bomb on him without a warning...</em>She looked down at her feet.<em>Surely, I've soiled our friendship for good now.</em>Mina chastised herself as she began getting into her uniform. Once she had her uniform on, she paused and looked in the mirror for a moment. Mina tucked the yellow flower into her hair once more, and smiled. If things went badly now, at least she would have something to remember Tai by. She took a breath, regained her composure, and stepped out of the booth.<br/><br/><em>"Never do that again, you nearly gave me a heart attack,"</em>Tai said as he placed a kiss on her hand. She couldn't help the faint blush that adorned her cheeks. Mina opened her mouth to speak, to say she was sorry and that it was rude of her to have put him on the spot so suddenly. But Tai had began talking to her, and what he said was not what she expected to hear.<br/><br/><em>"First, you and sister are far too lovely for me, let me acknowledge that immediately. I care about you a great deal, Mina...I'd really like to kiss you right now but the thing is...I think I might like to kiss Aki too. What you've posed to me, it seems like I can't make a choice here without hurting someone I don't wish to hurt so you can imagine I'm feeling a bit stymied. Do you need an answer right away? Will you hate me if it's something I need to consider?"</em><br/><br/>Mina couldn't find the words to say. All she felt was an overwhelming sense of joy that she hadn't broken their friendship with her sudden outburst. Tai was such a great friend to her, she couldn't imagine what she would have done if she lost him. For a moment, she stood there before she realized he needed an answer to his question.<br/><br/>"Oh, no. Please don't feel like you need to make a decision right now." Mina said, the corners of her lips curled up into a slight smile. "It was rude of me to put you on the spot so suddenly. I'm...really sorry. I hope you don't hate me for doing that." She apologized sincerely.<br/><br/>"But," Mina added hesitantly, "maybe we could just keep this between us for now? Aki has enough trouble being nervous around anyone but me. That, and I think she would kill me if she knew what I had just told you." She laughed softly, but there was a bit of truth in her words.<br/><br/>The last thing she wanted to do, was anger or upset her sister...
