Jun & Karou Chapter 14

JUN AND KAROU, PURE AND FRAGRANT

CHAPTER 13 OF THE MANGA

A few weeks into the new school semester, Hana is in the high school art studio. It is after the school classes, yet Hana has to stay and do some sort of art project. She is sitting in front of an art easel, imagining a picture of what she is about to draw. Taking a phone call on her iphone from her Mother, Hana tells Mom that she is not going home for this coming weekend. She will stay at the school's dorm. Who was it, comes a question ? Karou (xM) has been sitting on a stool, watching Hana figure out what she is going to draw. Hana states that she stayed in the school dormitory all during the summer break, and now the family keeps bugging her to come home for a visit. You're not going ? No, ain't happening ! Not at all !

Soon, Jun (xF) comes through the door to the art studio, done with her classes for today. As if on cue, all three stand up, and in a triangle formation, do a bazaar step exercise in unison, a warm-up to get ready to draw. Jun (xF) asks Karou (xM) if they are ready to do the art class homework assignment for today ? **"DON'T WANNA !!!"**, bellows out Karou ! Yet, all three seat themselves at their respective easels, and begin their drawing at the same time.

After a while, Hana asks a question of the other two. You two went to see the waterfalls during summer break, didn't you ? Yeah ! How was it ? The whole room goes silent, such that you could hear a pin drop ! Both Karou and Jun recall the sudden romantic implications that were manifest during their vacation together. Nothing Hana needs to know about, after all ! Soon, Karou is done with their drawing. It is of a cartoony-looking giraffe, holding an olive branch in its mouth. "It's done !", is proclaimed. Jun wants to know what it is supposed to be ? Karou says that at least it doesn't look like he merely copied something that Hana had drawn previously. Looks like Hana's style, remarks Jun. NO WAY, belts out Hana !!!

Hana takes another call from Mom, and goes to the corner of the studio. Meanwhile, Jun sits on a stool, and watches Karou put the finishing touches on their drawing. Karou unconsciously begins tapping his foot, with Jun becoming much amused at that. Hana finally finishes her lengthy phone call, and finds Karou laying prone on a bench, playing a video game on their iphone, with Jun looking on. Karou screams that they managed to clear the level in only 10 tries ! Hana asks Karou; Why with so many elective subjects for an after school project, why did he choose art, when he is not very good at it ? Karou merely gives a cryptic answer, saying it was because you, Hana, are always here. Jun says that we just want to watch you paint and draw, nothing more. Hana is dumbfounded, saying that is kinda cheesy. Jun replies that you, Hana, make weird and funny faces while you draw. So entertaining ! Better than reality TV ! Plus, if something bad happens to you, Hana, we are here to help. Hana is now thoroughly and completely dumbfounded !

Moments later, Karou jumps up from laying on the bench, and running out the door, screams over and over, ***I'M FINISHED, I'M FINISHED !!!*** Duh ! What a cornball ! When Karou is gone, Jun asks Hana what she did during summer break ? Work part-time. Impressive ! Nah; Hana says that she wishes that she had rather done so many other things. Both begin walking out the door of the art studio and down the hallway. Hana whispers something in the ear of Jun. Jun turns and gives Hana a puzzled look. Hana only states that you, Jun, have a beautiful, attractive face. "Eh? But I'm actually a guy...!", retorts Jun (xF).

At the locker area, the two meet up with Karou. As the three change out of their school shoes, Karou mumbles that it is the 'what should we do now' time. Jun replies that at least we are not alone. As Karou walks out the front door of the school, Hana slides her hand down Jun's backside, and fondles the back of her pleated mini-skirt. Hana declares that she wants to draw a portrait of you, Jun, next. Jun only rebukes Hana, ordering her to stop stroking and petting my behind !
