“Because I like you.”

It was an honest confession.

As if telling the obvious truth, he didn’t even blush this time. Rather, he seemed to spit out his true feelings due to the frenzy at the thought of what might happen to Aria right now.

– I already know that.

Aria was breathing heavily and looked like she was about to close her eyes and collapse at any moment.

The twilight of dawn fell upon them.

Aria sent a message as she reached out and touched his cheek, which was darkened by the sunset light.

– I can tell just by looking at you.

The silver-gray eyes that shone with a glow were fixed only on her, and were burning bright like stars.

– In the past, every time you saw me, you looked like you hated me.

It was Lloyd who looked at people and told them to get out of his life first.

From some point on, he always thought of Aria, followed her and looked after her and her well-being.

If he doesn’t like her, he won’t be able to do it.

“When are you talking about?”

– In my memory, it’s as vivid as yesterday.

Lloyd frowned at that childhood story. Because it wasn’t a past he was proud of.

– Lloyd likes me, Tristan, Sabina, and Vincent.

There were two absurd names in the mix, but Lloyd didn’t struggle to refute it.

No, he didn’t even think about it. Because her condition doesn’t look very good for that.

– Don’t be like that. Friendships, affections, interests, and family.

Aria added, blinking her eyes, sleepily.

– Say it right.

Lloyd, who was silent for a moment, sighed and said,

“Yes, you’re right. So, let’s talk about this later and get you treated first.”

As Lloyd waited for the doctor, he said soothingly to Aria.

Whatever it was, it seemed that he would only be relieved when he heard from the doctor that Aria was safe.

“…!”

That moment.

The hand that had been fiddling with his cheek naturally wrapped around the back of his neck, pulling him. Lloyd was holding her in his arms, so he had to bow his head helplessly.

At the same time, their lips met each other.

“Ari… Uhp!”

Perhaps because Aria brought up the story about four years ago, the memories of that time flashed through his mind for a moment.

The first time he was grabbed by the collar and kissed on the cheek.

A damp breath touched his lips, which was suddenly dragged away just like that time, and then fell away.

– Hurts…….

Aria whined with the message.

It was because the lips which were close to each other’s lips hit the other. It was an ignorant act that left only scars for each other.

– It bleeds. Sorry.

Lloyd’s lips ripped open and blood gushed out. Aria wiped the drop of his blood with her finger and added an apology.
