You came.

"You came..." her face was flushed.

"Obviously I did. Sorry I was a bit late, but still Im here." He closed the distance between them and took her hand. "Hey... you are sweating, are you hot? We should go to a place less crowded."

"Im fine... really."

"You know Im not embarrassed to pick you up and take you elsewhere. The only one thats going to be embarrassed is you." He grinned. His blonde hair waved in the warm air, though he was not in the slightest bit tired nor sweating after he 'ran' and standing under the sun.

She pouted. "You always force me to do things..."

"Hmm?" He side eyed her as they were going outside the crowded zone. "But isn't this the way the protagonist of the books you read act to their love interest?"

"Heyy?!?" Her face went red. "H-how did you know?!?! I told you NOT to read my books!!!"

"I did 'not' read your books. I bought them myself and tried it for myself."

"... there is no beating you." She sighed.

"You know... the female love interest of those books also act the way you do. It's kind of cute." He looked her at the eye. "Im talking about you who is cute, not the female love interest of those books."

"I know... you are unfair Kuze-kun, you know?"

"Maybe. And oh! I forgot to tell you, but that was a good drama you wrote there! Im proud of you!!" He smiled as he rubbed her hair.

"Ehhh?!? But you said you came just now, then how did you watch the drama?"

He laughed. "I have a friend of mine who was watching the drama here, and he was luckily recording at the time I messaged him and he gave me the whole video."

"You sure have your connections... I don't even know the people from distant classes."

"You are introverted after all. But seriously... you could tone down the darkness of the story a bit. I could imagine the face you make while you were writing the drama."

"Its... kind of embarrassing when someone I know watches my story..." she covered her face with her hand. "And no! If the darkness was turned down a bit it won't be a good story."

"Really? You are embarrassed? Let me see-" He playfully pulled her hand away from her face. "See? You are grinning!"

"Hehe~"

Miko went silent for a bit as she gazed at his knees, reminding her of the painful feeling of guilt. "Do I even deserve him...? Such a good person... contrary to that Im..." her eyes went blank as she remembered the cold past...
