kyomi's pov
Before Kyomi knows it, she's at the end of her last day with Heartbreaker.
She's sitting around, just doing work, while Heartbreaker is in another room doing the same.
"Inouye? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Heartbreaker calls.
Kyomi gets up and heads to the other room. Her heart is pounding. Why would she call her in like this? But, it can't be that bad, right?
"Yeah?"
"Hypothetically, if I offered you a spot as a work study for me in the future, would you take it? I would love to have you back, if you would like."
Did Kyomi hear her right???
"What?"
"I mean you don't have to—no pressure! I'm just wondering."
"No no!! I mean, I would! If you'd have me!"
Heartbreaker grins.
And that was that. She wants Kyomi back.
Kyomi rides that high until she's back in school.
She takes her seat in front of the empty desk.
When will Yori get here? Who did she even intern with? She wonders.
The moment Yori walks in, earbuds in and nonchalant expression on her face, Kyomi's stomach flips.
Why? Why is it doing that?
She's not nervous to see Yori, right? Not nervous to see how she's doing, to see her blue eyes and matching hair, not nervous to debate with her over the stupidest history topics.
She's not, right?
Right?
There's only one explanation for this, and Kyomi tries to push the thought out of her mind.
There is absolutely no chance, not even a slight possibility, that Kyomi has feelings for Yori Hiramitsu.
Well, there shouldn't be a chance.
But apparently there is.
