A click was heard as I pressed the shutter button on my camera.


A mesmerizing sunset drew me in so much that I didn't think twice about snapping a photo of it, the sun's rays gazing at my face as I breathed slightly. Birds chirping and people's voices could be heard as they walked through the park.


This sunset photo was indeed the first picture that I took as I bought the camera just recently.


A smile appeared on my face as I saw the blooming flowers along the sidewalk, a garden-like spot in the park where people usually go to take pictures.


As many people crowded around the flowers, I moved side to side, grunting as I moved backward while keeping my eyes on the camera, but as I was moving, I bumped into someone and wobbled until a pair of hands caught me.


But what I didn't know was that I accidentally clicked the button and took a picture of him.


A flash appeared on his face as he winced. "Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you, Kenma!" I laughed as I stabilized my balance.


"What are you doing here?"


"Exams are near, decided to not study and went to my favorite park just near the town." I shrugged as my eyes were on the camera, scrolling through the shots that I took. "How about you?"


"Nothing, I just want to take a break. Didn't expect to see you here."


"Didn't expect, huh?" I teased as he only scoffed.


"Look! The flowers here are so pretty." I said in a high voice as I rushed to the flowers with Kenma following behind.


I took as many pictures as I didn't let this day go to waste.


"Yeah, pretty." He mumbled, but I clearly heard it.


"Yeah, I'm pretty." I teased as I laughed while he just rolled his eyes and went outside the garden.


I took a couple more shots as I also went out of the garden.


Kenma was sitting in the grass near a tree with the sunset shining straight on him when I came upon him. As the sun rays touched his face, I gazed at his side profile.


"Got a problem?" He inquired, still facing the sunset, and it seemed as if he had an eye behind him since he caught me staring.


"N-nothing." I was startled for a second, but then went to sit beside him, both of us admiring the beautiful scenery.


"When will you tell me your secret?" I questioned.


"Secret? It's not really a secret." He chuckled.


"You're making me sound stupid, well if it's not then what do you call it?"


"It's more of an issue thing. I can't tell anyone yet." He shrugged.


"When will you tell me?" I asked cheekily, not really thinking of it as a serious matter.


"When the right time comes, I'll promise that you will be the first one who will hear it." He told me with a smile.


"Promise?" He nodded as I smiled while I took another photo of the sunset.


"Promise."


Two years ago, I met Kenma and Kuroo in the same exact area. His volleyball teammates routinely practice there, and I always snapped photos there.


He was always sitting at the benches, and as I had heard from Kuroo, Kenma's energy usually quickly falters. Kuroo said that Kenma was usually fatigued and that whenever they practiced. He would leave early and forgo jogging and exercising.


Kenma is good at school. He's in the top class and he always aces every test. He told that it is because of his family, and there he never failed anything.


Furthermore, Kenma kept a particular secret from everyone that he would tell me, and even promised just seconds ago that he would tell it when the right time comes.


I just hope that the promise won't break before that day comes.
