Yuta opened the closet door, pursing his lips in awkwardness when he saw the close proximity between Niki and Yura.
"Excuse us. It's important." Yuta told Niki, leaning forward to grab Yura's arm.
"Wait-"
"We'll talk later." Yura interrupted Niki, looking at him one last time, her face showing how upset she was and maybe a bit of anger at the silence he gave her after her questions but she let Yuta drag her away.
Yura felt hot, warm around her while body like it was heating up. The deep blush on her cheeks was most likely evident but even if Niki made her feel that way, she needed to know if he felt the same before he decided to kiss her. After rejecting her once, Yura thought that maybe he just wanted to kiss her out of pity or guilt, so she wanted to hear why first.
Yuta dragged the back into their classroom and then turned to his best friend "I thought you said you didn't want to talk to Niki?" he asked confused, throwing his arms to the side.
"I know, sorry. But.. Maybe it's good that we talk. We should clear this out." Yura told him.
"But you said you weren't ready to even face him."
"I know," Yura repeated with a sigh "He just- I couldn't say no and actually it's a good thing I didn't because I now I feel ready to confront him again." she told Yuta while the boy continued to frown "Well I wouldn't have to do it again if you hadn't had interrupted." she shrugged but smiled at her friend.
"hey I wouldn't have interrupted if you hadn't said that you don't want to see him." Yuta excused.
"Yes you would've." Yura knew and grinned slightly at how his ears turned red, because she was right.
Yuta only made a 'tsk' sound and rolled his eyes a bit but with a small smile "Whatever." he said and walked to his seat, Yura following behind him.

Yura didn't see Niki for the rest of the school day except for a brief minute when they were in the cafeteria. That hadn't lasted long because he and Soul went somewhere else shortly after she and Niki made eye contact.
Now the last class had ended and Yura was walking alone because Yuta had to leave in a hurry for his training. The girl walked along the almost empty hallway, going past the music room but she suddenly stopped and walk backwards, looking into the what she thought empty room.
The soft melody reached her ears and her heart felt lighter when she saw Niki sitting in front of the piano and playing a few notes lazily.
She stared at him for a good few seconds, watching how he worked his fingers along the instrument. His movements were quite inexperienced but trained. Had he been learning to play?
Yura gulped her nervousness down and stepped into the room. She closed the door behind her and saw Niki glancing her way but avoiding looking at her when he realized who just entered.
