"OH, wait, no, like, I didn't mean to peep in-I mean, I just wanted t-to thank you," Y/n shuttered, trying to establish her point so that she would not be misunderstood by the one before her, "and I said mesmerizing, oops, i mean, that was just a mistake, no, i mean, you are attractive, but, no, i do not mean that, na, wait-

"So you're confessing again?" He smirked.

"What? No, I did not mean that, but-

"This must be the first time I've seen you being quite nervous," he smirked.

"Oh, s-shut it"

"I bet no one has ever been able to make you blush so hard, have they?" he replied playfully.

"Are you always this playful or am I just an exception?"

"You're obviously the exception" he laughed while Y/n had a shock on her face.

"I better get going," she exclaimed after recollecting herself.

"Are you planning to leave back your precious book for me to have a look ?" He exclaimed.

"You surely can't keep your thoughts to yourself, can you? Though I wanted to say don't trip on your way back but that will do as well"

"Well, I am great at hiding things!" she exclaimed with pride and he chuckled.



"Can you walk properly now?" Riki whispered in an attempt to break the silence that had followed him and Mirae ever since they had started walking back home.

"Well, yes," she replied.

"Are you tired? is there something-

"Why do you keep on asking so many questions, boy?" Mirae stated tiredly.

"No, it's just because you aren't behaving like you usually do" the young boy whined.

"what do i always do?"

"You just crack jokes and lighten the atmosphere," he explained. Mirae chuckled slightly and turned at him.

"Could you honestly answer a question?"

"hmm..."
