TSI: The Next Step: Ep. 6-5.5

Doki just kept crying while Nabi tried to comfort her. He knew that he would have to do something better, but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment. He could only think about who could do this, and why.

“I’m gonna fix this…” said Nabi

Doki looked up at him like a small child. Her eyes were starting to turn red from all the crying. “Wha-?”

“I don’t know who did this, or if they’ll do it again, but somehow, I’m gonna fix this.” said Nabi. He had a major look of seriousness on his face. Doki smiled a little bit, but then she lost ti as she said,

“But…what about my house? Who’s gonna clean it and fix the windows? And more importantly, where am I gonna stay?”

“Um…we’ll field one of those…”

They both turned around to see Sam and Yi-Ho standing at the door. They were looking around with the same kind of shock that Doki and Nabi had when they first saw her house. “Wow. What a mess…” said Yi-Ho. For now, that’s all he really could say. He was too stunned to say anything else.

“You know guys, you don’t hav-.” said Doki

Sam-Ho came over and smiled at her. “We’re not doing this because we have to; we’re doing this because we want to. We want to help you guys no matter what from now on. We don’t care what the consequences are…”

As Doki and Nabi made their way out of her house and towards Nabi’s, Doki brought up her question again, “So, where do you think I could stay until they’re done?”  With that, Nabi had an idea. He didn’t think it was very decent, but for know it would have to do.

“Well, you know, I DO have a fold out bed at my house…” said Nabi

Doki looked at him, for she already knew where he was going with it. “And I’m not using it much, and there’s plenty of room…so I thought maybe you could-.”

But Nabi didn’t have to finish, for with that said, she hugged him on the side. So hard, that he almost fell over. “Thank you…” she said. And then, with her still holding on to him, they made their way into Nabi’s house.

==Morning, around 1 AM==

Nabi slowly woke up. He looked at his clock and sighed. Only a few more hours until they would make their way to the beach. He had really looked forward to it. He and Doki had been talking about all day yesterday. They had watched a few movies too. And now, they were both tired.

Except for Nabi, who was starting to get a little thirsty…

Nabi quietly made his way towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. After he finished he stopped for a sec and looked at Doki. He smiled a little as he made his way closer to see her better. And as he looked at her sleeping there, he heard something,

“Kiss her…”

He jumped a little. He thought he heard a voice talking right next to him. Again, it said,

“Kiss her…”

As he thought about the voice and looked around, he realized something that he never thought he would ever feel: He really did love Doki. No matter how many times he tried to run away from her in the past, he really did love her.

So, he decided to do what the voice said…

He slowly bent over to kiss her on the cheek, when all of a sudden; a small heart appeared above his head. As he kept bending down, the heart fell like a small rock. Just as Nabi was going to kiss her, the heart hit her cheek, and she started to wake up…

Nabi started to panic. He wanted to run and go to his room, but something in him wouldn’t let him move. She started to move even more. Then, all at once, Nabi used all the strength in his body to move quietly up the stairs, and then back into his room. As he got half way to the stairs, he realized that he left the heart there! Using all his speed, he grabbed the heart and made his way back to his room…

Nabi shut the door really quiet as he caught his breath. Ashe sat down in his bed, he opened his fist to show the heart. He looked at it and was filled with depression. The one time he decided not to run, he ran away. He couldn’t believe that he ran away from her again! He started to get angry, but then he clamed down when he saw his chance. He didn’t know if it would work or not, but he was gonna try…

Tomorrow at the beach party…

==Epilogue==

Doki and Nabi both got dressed as they got ready for the big party. Doki packed her swimsuit and sighed. She looked out the window to see that the windows in her house were back up. She was amazed on how fast the Jjintta worked…

Nabi quickly made his way through the house while Doki was getting ready. She was in the bath room when Nabi went out. He left a note there, saying that he was at the school, and that he would see her there. Nabi went out the door, but was stopped as he came around the corner…

He saw Il-Ho, just standing there, with something in his hand…
