(Emiko's POV)

"I can't believe vacation's almost over" I mumbled to myself as I was sitting in front of the mirror, brushing my hair. I've been having fun with Ren for a while before we left to visit my grandparents for a few days.

Kaya wanted to hang out, at first, but I told her that I'm busy. And I told Ren not to tell her, she didn't seem to like it, but whatever! I'll bet if we met with her, she'll sulk about Haru again. It's so obvious that she still likes him, though I can't really blame her...he is kinda cute.

Suddenly, I had an idea. Humming as I thought about it for a moment, tapping my cheek as my eyes looked at my phone.

"It's worth a shot" I said, shrugging and grabbed my phone and opened Instagram. I searched for the account until I found it, it wasn't that hard, and went into direct messaging.

Emiko: Hi~, Haru😘

Haru: Huh? Who's this?

Emiko: Oh, silly me! 😂I'm Emiko, (Y/N)'s friend.

Haru: Oh...Hey.

Emiko: Is there a problem?

Haru: Oh no! Not at all

Emiko: Listen, I know it's out of nowhere, but what do you really think of (Y/N)?

Haru: Wha-...

Haru: That's really out of nowhere!

Emiko: Well?

Haru: Well, she's great is all

Emiko: Do you like her?

Haru: She's just a friend!

Haru: And why do you care, anyway??

Emiko: I don't. But I do think that you're cute. And you did the right thing by shutting her down

Emiko: I mean, just because she's from a very well-known family doesn't mean she has to get everything she wants! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Haru: What? 😶

Haru: Why are talking about your friend like that?!😠

Emiko: Because I understand how you feel, and believe me, (Y/N) wouldn't. Because I know that she still likes you, even though she doesn't show it anymore. She didn't seem to get the message when you rejected her.

Haru: ...

Emiko: Well, I'll be heading off to bed now. Good night! 🤍

Haru: Wait!

Emiko: ???

Haru: Are you free tomorrow?

Emiko: Guess so. Why?

Haru: Would you like to go out? 😏

Emiko: Omg! Are you asking me on a date~?

Haru: It's not a date! I'm just...bored and want to hang out
