_Chapter 5: Hidden Feelings Revealed_
Akio's pencil glided effortlessly across the paper, lost in thought. Unaware, he drew Sota's gentle smile, captivating green eyes, and dark blue hair. The sketchbook page came alive with the essence of Sota.
Just as Akio realized what he'd drawn, Lulu appeared, her sharp tongue at the ready.
"Hey, Akio, still drawing pretty boys?" Lulu sneered, snatching the sketchbook.
Akio's eyes widened in horror as Lulu revealed the hidden drawing.
"Look, Sota, Akio's got a crush on you!" Lulu mocked, her voice echoing through the room. "Boys can't like boys, Akio. You're freaks!"
Akio's face burned with shame. Tears welled up in his eyes, filled with emotion. Sota noticed the glistening droplets as Akio's gaze met his for a fleeting moment.
Without a word, Akio turned and fled, leaving his sketchbook behind. Sota stood stunned, witnessing Akio's distress.
Lulu's cruel laughter faded as Akio vanished into the crowd.
Sota's eyes lingered on Akio's retreating figure, concern etched on his face.
"Why did Akio run?" Sota wondered.
Curiosity getting the better of him, Sota opened the abandoned sketchbook.
Page after page revealed....
Multiple sketches of himself, showcasing Akio's admiration, Vulnerable expressions, revealing Akio's true emotions, Tender moments captured, as if Akio longed to be closer. Sota's heart swelled with empathy and curiosity.
"Akio... feels this way about me?" Sota's thoughts whispered.
As Sota delved deeper into the sketchbook, he discovered:
A piece of paper slipped between the pages, folded into a small note.
Unfolding it, Sota read:
"Akio's hidden confession"
