"Rui, Truth or Dare?"

︎                                                     

"Hmm.. Truth."

︎                                                     

We all waited for Jake's question for Rui, he looked like he was hesitating to say his question and changed it.

︎                                                     

"Do you like anyone? Like, romantically?"

︎                                                     

Rui was quiet. He looked at me as if he was scared that I'm here. He was making sure I didn't understand what Jake had just asked.

︎                                                     

I didn't.

︎                                                     

I heard him sigh in relief. "Well it's.. Tsukasa."

︎                                                     

I flinched as I heard my name, "Huh? What? I heard my name." I asked. "Oh it's nothing, Tsukasa-kun, you'll know eventually." Rui chucked.

︎                                                     

I pouted, "Hmph.. He's hiding something from me!" I thought.

                                                     

︎︎                     
"What does romantically mean?" I question myself.

︎                                                     

-

︎                                                     

"Now, does anyone have a question?" Ms. Eve asked. "I do Eve-sensei(Ibu-sensei)! What does 'romantically' mean?"

︎                                                     

"I—eh.. can you please use it in a sentence, Tsukasa-kun?"

︎                                                     

"Well.. Let's just say, 'Do you like anyone romantically?' "

︎                                                     

"Ah! Romantically means ロマンチックに(Romanchikku ni)!" Ms. Eve explained as she wrote the word in Japanese for me to understand. "Do you still want more explanation about this, Tsukasa-kun?"

︎                                                     

I was silent, my face all red. "Y-yes. Please do."

︎                                                     

"Ah, okay then! So basically...."

︎                                                     

As I was listening to her discussion, I couldn't help but become more and more red, I could feel my whole face heating up.

︎                                                     

Rui feels that way about me..? He likes me..?

︎                                                     

"And that's it, any more questi-" she stopped her sentence as she saw me, my face was red as hell, "TSUKASA-KUN ARE YOU OKAY?!"
