Chapter 22: Confessions Under the Moonlight

~ Kurapika's POV ~

Did- did she just-?

I watched (Y/N) walk back inside the mansion, as beautifully as ever. She looked gorgeous, and I really wished I was able to get that out of me.

I then took a deep breath, and finally processed what just happened.

She kissed me on cheek. (Y/N), my (Y/N).

Does this mean she feels the same about me? Really? Anyone can fall for someone as sweet and caring as her, but her in love with me? I find it hard to believe, but what else could've that meant? I really need to calm down..

She's my best friend after all.

Plus, it's not exactly like her to reject someone, and ignore them just because she doesn't feel the same way... right?

"(Y/N)!", Neon yelled.

"Where have you been?", asked Melody.

"Sorry guys, I was in the garden wi-", I said before being cut off.

"With Kurapika?", Neon squealed.

"Uh- yeah..", I answered. I could feel my face heat up, so I placed my mask over my face once again.

"I saw you two dance! Melody told me it was him because she recognized his heartbeat!", Neon squealed once again.

"Well? How was it?", asked Melody.

There were no words to describe how magical that dance was. The way he held me, the way he looked at me, the way he smiled at me..

"Oh~ Ok then", Melody said giving a look to Neon.

Neon giggled for a bit and then asked, "Well~ What were you doing in the garden?", she then asked.

"He showed me all of the decorations that were set up for tonight. We were hanging out where the rose bushes are, along with the other guests there", I explained.

"So that's where the rose is from. Was Kurapika the one who put it in your hair?", Neon asked.

I nodded in response.

"Dark red? Hm, I wonder if he chose that color on purpose..", Melody explained.

"What do you mean Mel?", I asked.

"According to flower language, dark red roses represent perfection, adoration and beauty", she answered.

Neon's eyes widen with excitement, although I believe that was probably just a coincidence. I hope it wasn't though.

"Well, what does white mean? I gave him a white one", I asked out of curiosity.

"Purity, new beginnings, pure or new love", she answered.

"Coincidence or not, they're both adorable", Neon squealed once more.

"Agreed", Melody giggled.

"Where is he right now?", Neon asked.

"He had to check on the new hires again, he said he'll meet me here when he's finished", I responded.

"Ok then, let's dance until he gets here", Neon said as she grabbed my arm, then Melody's, and ran off to the dance floor.

~ Back to Kurapika's POV ~

"Ms. Mayumi, is everything ok?", I asked.

Mayumi was one of the new hires among the seven of them. She was the only woman, and almost reminded me of Baise. She wasn't as intimidating as her though.
