Vine Plot

So much love. The kids can see it. It's painful. Be couldn't stand it anymore. She had to make something happen.

-Be-

I am at an impasse. I like Soon, but he likes my mom. I don't know what to do here.

“We have to do it,” I said. Jin looked up at me so confused.

“Do what?” he asked.

“Get Mom and Soon together,” I said. Jin tilted his head.

“I thought they were together,” he said.

“Well yeah, but no,” I said.

“Huh?” he asked.

“Don't ask questions,” I said. I shook my head and frowned.

“Just go with me on this,” I said. “Please.” My brother shrugged.

“Fine,” he said.

“Thank you,” I said.

“So what's the plan?” Jin asked. I paused. I haven't planned that far ahead.

“I'll think of something,” I said. Jin narrowed his eyes.

“Don't look at me like that,” I said. My brother shrugged.

“Okay,” he said. I sighed and shook my head.

-Jin-

Be has good intentions. Just not a plan. But that's not it, is it?

“What?” she asked.

“Do you like Soon?” I asked. Be raised her eyebrow.

“What do you mean?” she asked. I shrugged at her.

“You know,” I said. There was a pause. Be's cheeks turned bright red.

“I don't like what you are insinuating!” she shouted. I put up my hands.

“I just asked a question,” I said. Be cleared her throat. She looked away from me. I knew it.

“I have one idea,” I said. My sister turned her head.

“What?” she asked.

“Why not do something like writing a letter?” I asked. Be's eyes lit up.

“Ah!” she said. “Why didn't I think of that?” I finished my drink.

“Shall I help you?” I asked.

“Not right now,” Be said. “I have just the thing.” I looked up eyebrow raised.

“Oh?” I asked. Be smiled and tapped side of her nose. Oh…

-Hindeo-

This was for a grade. The professor assigned me to a new guy.

“What do you want me to do?” I asked. My professor looked up at me.

“You will spend the semester working with Gok-sensei,” she said. “He's new here.”

“Ah,” I said. “When can I meet him?”

“Right now,” my professor said. I stared at her.

“Are you serious?” I asked.

“Yes,” she said, nodding. Oh… Oh okay.

I met Soon in the teacher's lounge. He sat alone in the back corner. He had his gaze down in a cup. The man looked half-asleep. A confused look came over my face. This was him?

“Hello?” I asked. He looked up at me.

“Um… I'm Saitou Hindeo,” I said. “I'm supposed to be working with you.” He didn't speak at first.

“Oh,” he said. “Nice to meet you.” I didn't know what came over me when I asked this.

“Are you married?” I asked.

Soon about choked on his drink. “What?!”

“Heh,” I said. This man needed a date. And I was the man to do it.
