King smiled "If you learn it, I'd love a flower from you. But I'll warn you, if you learn and get the hang of it, you have to be very careful at times still. For example, you don't want to sneeze and have the main tent be covered in roses." King hugged his pillow to his chest once again "You can pick it."

Chihiro imagined the whole tent filled of roses. It was a pretty sight to see... however, "I guess Mr. Ringmaster will be furious if that happens..." he chuckled. He picked up the sunflower and stared long to it, "Sunflower... symbol of happiness and unwavering faith... Nice..." he said, reminiscing the meaning of the flower. How he was to be supposed to be happy if he was hiding some secret to his friend? He clutched the flower until he suddenly felt a sudden burst to his heart, "Uhm... King! I-I need to say something!"

"No, I don't think he'd like it." King laughed until Chihiro suddenly said that she needed to say something. King noticed the look in Chihiro's eyes. His friend really needed to say something "Oh...okay. Is something wrong?" He sat back down, looking at Chihiro and waiting for the programmer to tell him.

Chihiro squeaked and froze all of the sudden. He just then realized that his emotions quickly overwhelmed him in a short time and did not realized he would spill out his secret too early. "Uhm... W-Where and how we are going to begin to learn magic...?" He quickly diverged the topic, or else he would spill the beans. "Sorry for startling you though..." his eyes were moving in panic, and hoping King would not notice his inner noise.

"We can learn it anytime, whenever you're available." King knew something was bothering his friend, but if Chihiro didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force it out of her. He smiled and shook his head "It's alright, Chihiro, you didn't startle me too bad."

"Ahh... I am on the break from the regular check-up, maybe... I can learn somehow now..." Chihiro said. He felt that he was being hasty, but, he also desired to learn magic (although in his point of view it was a little impossible). Chihiro breathed inside some relief that it seemed like King never noticed his inner tremor. "Is there some any ritual to do before...we start?"

"Okay, I guess we can start with something small right now, to at least provide some progress until we continue this later." King placed his pillow on a nearby crate and stretched "Though, I will say, my being a fairy does help me tap into certain elements more, which is why I can grow plants so easily." King couldn't guarantee that his friend would learn magic, but it never hurt to try "Okay, we'll start by trying to grow a rose. Simple enough for a beginner."

Chihiro nodded. He came closer to King to see how he would grow a rose. For a normal person like him, he didn't know how to use magic. He was even imagining that there was some preparations in order to feel magic. "Uhm... If I ask, since I have no magic or any power... Is there some sort of ritual of doing magic? I mean... I have watched cartoons before that the characters are murmuring some strange words or maneuvering some gestures... Uhm... Just asking, hehe," Chihiro smiled awkwardly, "Uhm, okay... Rose..." He frowned his forehead in concentration.

"Okay, first, take a deep breath, and focus on the image of the rose, clear everything else from your mind, just focus on that rose. Visualize it's appearance, it's smell, it's feel, everything about it." King instructed, keeping an eye on her movements "Calm your breathing."

Chihiro nodded. He listened closely with King's instructions. So then, he closed his eyes, visualizing everything about the flower. His fists were tightly closed to his side. Taking a deep concentration, his forehead scowled that almost appearing he was being constipated. Pushing furthermore, he gave up with a sigh. Opening his eyes, he stared at King in hopeless face. "I think I can't do it...And I cannot also tell who I really am to you..." He said in dismay. It was really hard to keep a secret, and even he knew to himself that he could not do magic, he pushed King to teach him, just using it as an excuse to spend time with his friend. But a relationship with secrets would not work as he believed to himself.
Chihiro looked away, as he played his foot to the ground. He was feeling insecure again. "...King... What if I'm just lying the whole time... Will you get angry with me...?" Chihiro said, resurfacing small fear on his heart.

"Who you are to me?" King, at this point, realized that Chihiro wasn't serious about learning, but that it was something else "You're my best friend, and you're like a little sibling to me." King said honestly.
After hearing Chihiro's hypothetical, he thought for a moment "Well, that would depend on what you were lying about. If it was serious, then yeah, I'd be angry, even if only a little bit. But if it was something small, then no, I wouldn't be angry."

Chihiro felt a small relief. But it was both gladness and worry. He was even surprised knowing that King seemed to be attached with him somehow and he was feeling the same towards the fairy; a big brother. He remained speechless in that honest answer.
The guilt went stronger; he felt obliged to tell the truth. Siblings should not keep any secrets, but he didn't know how to say it. And hearing King's answer to his question, he became more scared if he would really tell it or not!
"Uhh..." Chihiro just kept on pressuring himself. He was making his own fear at this state until he suddenly broke down in tears.

"Chihiro, is there something you want to tell-" King was interrupted mid-sentence when Chihiro burst into tears. King was quick to pull Chihiro into a hug "Chihiro, what's wrong?" If whatever Chihiro was keeping secret was hurting her in such a way to where it made her cry like that, it must have been pretty big, and it was clear that she was afraid of his reaction.

Chihiro was surprised when King embraced him. It was odd; it felt like the hug of his father. And since he began to remember his dad again with his older brother figure, instead of calming down, he continued to cry as he could pour down all his emotions. His hands gripped King's back, releasing more of his tears.
"K-King... I-I'm sorry..." Chihiro said, even his voice was cracking in. His hands curled into a fist, feeling more guilt. "I-I... do really need to apologize... It has been so hard to hide this for so long... I don't want to hide anything from you... I-I j-just didn't know where to start... I am also scared that... y-you might hate me in the end... Y-You...are the first friend I made in my whole life... I didn't know if it is bad to stay lying the whole time 'cause I am j-just afraid to lose you..." Chihiro said between hiccups. But there was still one thing missing on his long monologue; the secret. He was ready to say his emotions out loud, but he wasn't brave enough yet to confess it.

King lightly moved her to sit down, afraid Chihiro would collapse in his arms, but he kept his arms wrapped around her "It's alright, Chihiro, I'm listening." King sat down next to her "You don't have to tell me if you're scared of how I'll react. If you want to tell me, go ahead, I promise you, I won't flip out. I won't yell. I won't be angry. But if you don't want to tell me, that's alright." He looked her in the eye "Alright, Chihiro?"
