Was what I wanted him to say.
“The same… to what?” I couldn’t help myself.
I had to know.
“Ah… The same with --- Akimoto and his girlfriend,” Hatori stuttered.
That wasn’t what I wanted to hear.
I wanted him to notice my feelings,
but at the same time I wanted to keep it hidden.
Maybe he knows, or maybe he doesn’t.
How confusing this is,
this thing called love.
“I… see,” the sound of my disappointment resonated with every word.
“Baka. What were you expecting?” he playfully teased me.
Why was he hiding it?
Until now, we continued to exchange those secret glances.
It was more or less a sign that we watched each other closely.
It was a secret that only we knew about,
yet we kept it so deeply hidden even from each other.
