''I am home,'' Ichiro said after closing the door to his house.

''...'' He didn't hear any noises coming from the house, 'Weird...' He thought and took his shoes off.

He started walking towards living room, and there he saw his parents sitting on the couch, looking at him.

'Great...' Ichiro scratched his neck and walked towards refrigerator.

He took the plastic bag filled with honey cookies and put it on the kitchen desk.

He took one of the cookies and started crunching.

*Crunch*

Azumi and Eiji were sitting on the couch, a few meters away from him.

Azumi finally opened her mouth, ''Did you plan ever telling us?''

*Gulp*

Ichiro swallowed the cookie and said, ''No.''

''Why?!'' Azumi shouted, her face was saddened that their son didn't seem to trust them.

''It wouldn't have changed anything. You guys were already having hard time; my problems were irrelevant.'' Ichiro said.
