When Potatoes Fall in Love

One Week Later

“What do you daydream about ?” tanya Nadin who had been observing Aidan put on a sullen face while chewing his bread slowly.

“I don't daydream,” ketus Aidan without turning.

“Then why do you slowly chew your food ? We can be late if you have breakfast like this.”

“Leave it. It's a punishment for you.”

“Hu-punishment ? What was wrong with me?!” tanya Nadin glared.

“You don't know ?”

“Of course not. It is you who do not realize your mistake. Why do you suck every day ?! You've overwhelmed me enough to wake you up in the morning. Don't test my patience again with your sudden burst of hunger !” nadin protests emotions.

“That is your duty, why are you complaining ? Now you don't even realize what you've done to me.”

“What have I done?!”

“Try you remember. The first day you hit me. A few days later you splashed water on my face and you hit the pot in my ear. Don't you have any other gentler way ?!” aidan is emotional.

“I've tried it ! You're the only one who sleeps like a rock. Quickly finish your breakfast and stop complaining !”

“I haven't drank milk !”

God, why is she such a child ? Facing him was really irritating, Nadin grumbled.

“Can I help you drink ?” tanya Nadin got up from his chair.

“No,” ketus Aidan with a sulking face.

Nadin brushed aside Aidan's hand and picked up the glass he was holding.

“Hey, what's-”

Without pity, Nadin immediately drank the glass of milk to Aidan without caring about it which immediately thrashed.

“Ummmmm, ummmm.” Aidan patted Nadin's hand, which did not remove the glass from his mouth.

“Just shut up and finish your drink, if you move a lot, this milk will spill into your uniform,” said Nadin smiling cynically at Aidan.

Jesus, what did the young lady do to you ? inner housekeeper Aidan who accidentally saw an unusual scene that morning.

Tak

Nadin hurriedly placed the empty glass and stuffed the bread into Aidan's mouth to prevent him from speaking again.

“Wear your bag,” Nadin orders to throw the bag to Aidan and then use his bag. Without hesitation he pulled Aidan's hand and took him out of the house.

“We leave first, Bi,” said Nadin smiling to the woman who had seen how he treated Aidan.

“I-iya, miss. Careful,” replied the woman while looking at her master being dragged away.

Beeeeppppp beeeeepppp

As usual, students were scattering from the classroom as soon as the break bell rang. Not wanting to miss storming the canteen, Dira hurriedly cleaned up her stationery so that she could get there immediately.

“Come hunted, Din. Ntar the canteen is crowded,” invite Dira who saw Nadin lazing to tidy up his book.

“Today I did not go to the cafeteria,” Nadin said.

“Your stomach hurts?” dira asked when he saw Nadin clutching his stomach.

“Cram only.”

“Then, let's go to UKS.”

“No need, just regular cramps.”

“Curbs come month huh?”

Nadin just nodded then put on his backpack. “I'm fine. You just go to the cafeteria. I'll wait for you in class,”.

Tap tap tap

Dira was seen dongkol down the classroom aisle after a long time lined up in the middle of a crowd of students in the cafeteria. Along with that, the intention of the mode also flashed as soon as it caught the figure of Rudi who was sitting on the park bench with Aidan. He was stunned to see the two while thinking about what reason should be used in order to get close to them.

Hehe. I know, his mind then went off to launch an attack.

Without further ado, Dira placed two bottles of milk in front of Aidan and Rudi. Both of them just stared confusedly at Dira who only smiled and immediately sat down in an empty chair near the cliff.

“I originally wanted to give it to Nadin. But, I just remembered that he's not drinking milk. Rather than in vain, I just give it to you,” explained Dira then stick a dropper to one of the milk bottles then give it to Rudi.

“M-thank you,” welcome Rudi to smile awkwardly and reply by Dira with a wider smile.

“What is Nadin sick ?” ask Aidan while sucking his drink like Rudi.

“Yes,” replied Dira who finally decided to linger a little with them.

“Sick what ?”

“Only pain monthly.”

“Sick monthly ? What disease is it ?” tanya Aidan looked very confused

“This is a women's secret. Don't be kepo,” replied Dira turned her lips, while her hands were busy tidying up her luggage.

“Go first yes. Bye Rudi.” Dira waved his hand while smiling at Rudi.

“You're upset ?” asked Rudi who saw Aidan with a sullen face after Dira left.

“View yes ?” reply Aidan.

“You are so because Dira does not want to tell Nadin what is sick ?”

Aidan was silent and threw a glance at any place but Rudi already knew that the answer must be 'yes'.

“Why don't you ask Nadin directly?”

“I'm afraid,” shrewd Aidan looked down with a lethargic face.

“Hah ?! Did I not hear wrong ? Hahahaha.” Rudi patted the table and pressed his own stomach because he could not stop himself from laughing at Aidan. While the one who was laughed at just stared intently at him who laughed until tears welled up. He who was stared at like that instantly turned into serious mode then slightly approached Aidan.

“Actually, what have you done to him ? Why are you so scared ?” rudi asked half a whisper.

“I didn't do anything. I think I've been acting like usual for a few days. But he was the one who acted the opposite. Last morning I protested a little bit about what he did to me, he became even more creepy,” explained Aidan.

“What has he done to you ?”

“Tadi mornin she was..”

“Me... what is ?”

“Already. No need to discuss it,” said Aidan began to feel embarrassed considering the events of how he was forced by Nadin.

“Hei ! Your mind's too far off for a first-grade High School kid. Nadin has never done anything like that!”

“Then what ?”

“I don't want to talk about it. Now I'm just wondering what pain he has.”

“Yeah, if that's the case anyway. I don't think you should worry. From Dira's words I can also guess that Nadin is coming month,” explained Rudi by whispering in his last sentence.

“Ooh, that one,” welcomes Aidan after understanding Rudi's words.

“You said lately Nadin's been acting unusual on you right ? Actually I also often find him glaring at you when you look at him. Pffft.” Rudi had to close his lips so that his laughter would not explode again.

“You mocked me again ?”

“I'm just amused to see how you interact. But, in a few days his attitude will definitely return to normal. You know what ? Usually the attitude of women will change if the "monthly period" comes. So, I suggest that you do not upset or offend them because at those times they are so sensitive that they get angry easily. You better avoid first. If you don't want to, you have to be careful,” Rudi's message while patting Aidan's shoulder.

“You talk like this as if I'm going to go to war alone,” replied Aidan in disbelief.

“Loh, I'm talking the truth. Facing women who are "so" is not much different from fighting. We have to think of a strategy to deal with it. I know that because I have a sister. When he comes to the moon, he turns into a lion. Uugh, creepy. I have to dodge,” said Rudi while rubbing his arms.

Nadin's bad feelings seemed to affect the mood of Dira who always went everywhere with him. Once in geography class, Dira immediately put her head to sleep as Nadin did once she reached class. Both of them looked lethargic and withered in the last lesson.

“Your neck why is red like this ?” asked Rudi who happened to see the nape of Aidan. Dira who heard Rudi's question immediately woke up and examined his sister.

“You've been in a fight huh?!” ask Dira.

“It's okay. I also never fight,” replied Aidan rubbing his back neck.

“Then why is your neck red ? You hit or already fell ?” assault Dira who likes to worry excessively if something is wrong with Aidan.

“Never. I don't know what this used to be,” the pretext of Aidan who just remembered how he got such a mark. Nadin woke up to realize what he had done and watched Aidan's neck. Sure enough, there was clearly his fingers that had been gripping Aidan's neck.

“Nadin, this is a real hand right ? Let's see,” said Dira.

“I-iya right,” said Nadin then turned his face once Aidan turned to him.

“Quick tell me, who hit you !” tehad Dira.

“Dira, you are angry huh ?” ask Nadin.

“Of course I am angry, I do not want my sister to be hit like this,” replied Dira.

Nadin suddenly had a grim face hearing Dira's reply.

“Dira, actually I'm the-..”

“Ennn.... Nadine ! Don't you have a stomachache ?!” cut Aidan. He had guessed that he would tell Dira the truth. So, he had to prevent it.

“Eh ?! I-yes. Why ?” nadin asked in surprise.

“Let me take you to UKS, let's go.” Aidan pulls Nadin's hand and takes him out of class.

“If the teacher comes, just let Nadin and me know yes,” order Aidan before he disappears from behind the door with Nadin.

Tap tap tap

Nadin was overwhelmed following Aidan's steps too quickly for him. It was no different from running while following Aidan who was walking hurriedly.

“On your neck... I'm sorry,” Nadin said as soon as he sat on the UKS bed, while Aidan stood facing him.

“Hm ? Neck ?”-Aidan holds her neck then understands what Nadin-“ meansI'm fine. The scars will disappear by themselves,” explained Aidan after being surprised to hear Nadin's apology. He thought the girl didn't care about him.

“I have also often treated you badly over the past few days. Sorry,” added Nadin.

I why the hell ? I think I was still angry when he brought me here. Why did I suddenly become sad ? inner Nadin.

Aidan let out a long sigh and occupied the chair that was behind him.

“I understand why you are like that. I'm guilty of you too. But, does your stomach still hurt ?”

“Slightly... Jesus, Aidan ! Don't we now have a geography replay?!” asked Nadin.

“Iya true. I just remembered,” said Aidan relaxed.

“We have to go back to class,” take Nadin off the bed.

“You're sick.”

“Deuteronomy is more important than pain. Come back !” Nadin took Aidan out of the UKS room without realizing he was holding his hand.

Nadin further accelerated his pace even though he was relieved when from a distance he highlighted the geography class and did not find a teacher there.

“Master hasn't arrived yet, let's hurry,” said Nadin smiling to Aidan who was following behind him.

Are women who are coming to the moon really like this ? Feeling like a rollercoaster that always goes up and down, Aidan smiled after realizing Nadin's mood was changing so quickly.

Next Day

The morning air that should still feel fresh despite being in class suddenly felt crowded to be inhaled by Nadin when he found Nina the school princess was in the same class as him. For some reason, the word "rival" just popped into his head when he found out Nina was moving into her class.

“Excuse me, you're Nadin right?” asked Nina who was already standing beside Nadin.

“Oh. Yes, right,” replied Nadin turned with Dira.

“Can I sit here ? You and Aidan are too tall even when sitting down. So, I can't see the whiteboard,” Nina said.

Nadin looked back and saw where Nina was sitting. It was true, he, Aidan, and Nina were seated one row. No wonder Nina could not stare at the blackboard so freely.

“Alright, Dira let's move,” invite Nadin then sit behind Aidan because Nina's sitting position is behind Aidan.

“Aidan, how does it feel to learn IPS ? I'm very nervous, please help yes,” said Nina directly facing Aidan as soon as she got the seat she wanted.

“Why should I help you ? If you are not confident to study after moving majors. Better just go back to your initial major,” said Aidan with a flat face.

“Pffftttt, uhuk uhuk uhuk.” Dira chokes at Aidan's words when he drinks water.

“Bu-not so I mean,” reply Nina looks shy.

“Oh.”-Aidan turned to the dumbass Nadin after hearing his words earlier to Nina-“Eh, the female giraffe. You sit in front. You will not be able to see the board if you sit behind me,” said Aidan got up from his seat and followed by Rudi.

“Who is the female giraffe?!” timpal Nadin emotion.

“You. Did you not know that in this class you are nicknamed the female giraffe?”

“He lied right?” nadin asked Dira who also shook her head immediately. Afraid of being lied to by Dira, Nadin turned to the side and asked about his nickname.

“Y-yaaa. It's true, you're the tallest woman in this class. So, you're nicknamed that way. But, just calm down. Aidan is also nicknamed the male giraffe, he is the tallest man here, even the highest among all students in this school,” said Arka who was questioned by Nadin.

“You don't trust me huh ? In this class, you are a pair of giraffes know,” whispered Dira who then followed giggling.

Nadin's face immediately met red to hear Dira's words. He obediently moved to Aidan's seat.

Well, it's okay. My partner's origin is Aidan, Nadin's inner self hides his face behind a book.
