CHAPTER TWO - 𝑨𝑵...𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑵?

"I still have some work to do, so I'll leave you guys be." Asano's father, Asano Gakuho smiled, standing up from the dining table after the maid collected his plate.

It was just Y/N and Asano now, she continue to eat silently and so does him. A moment passed before she felt a soft cloth wiping the corner of her lips gently.

"You eat like a baby." Asano commented, checking if there were any crumbs left before folding the cloth neatly.

Y/N stare at him as her heart skipped a beat. The two were engaged by their parents' choice, and they treat each other more like close friends, she hold no romantic feelings for him, and she was sure he didn't too, but there are times like this when he does small gestures that make her feel all flustered.

Y/N is not developing feelings for the man in front of her, she was sure of it, but how does it feel when you fall in love? Not once have Y/N felt like she got head over heels for someone, not once have she stayed up late thinking about someone in mind and get a warm feeling in her chest, never.

She knows there's no point in letting herself fall for someone other than Asano Gakushuu, she was bound to marry him anyway, but she wonder, can't she at least have a real romance once in her teenage years?

How does it feel like falling in love?

Stepping in, she sat on one of the seats and look out the window, not wanting to face the crowded train.

"Hey, princess." Y/N turn her head to the voice and caught something that was thrown to her just in time.

Strawberry milk?

She quickly look up in confusion before her eyes widened at the familiar looking boy.

Red hair.

Mercury eyes.

She can never forget.

"It's you!" Y/N exclaimed as he smiled, the boy stood in front of her since there weren't any vacant seats left. "It's me."

"What's with this?" She asked, looking at the small pink box in her hand. "You gave me yours last time, didn't you? I'm paying you back." He stuff his hands in his pockets, smiling.

"You don't have to..." A small smile graced her lips.

What a nice guy.

"Oh! Right, what's your name? I didn't get it last time." Y/N unwrap the straw and began drinking the beverage. His brows lifted before smiling amused.

"Akabane Karma." She jerked forward slightly as the drink got caught in her throat, she tries to tone down her coughing but to no avail, a hand patted her back.

"You're Akabane Karma?" She asked once she's recovered from her coughing fit, eyes twinkling with interest.

"You don't know?" He gave a laugh.

"I've always heared about you but never saw you in person before." The girl explained and continued drinking the strawberry milk he gave. "Aren't you afraid of me?" He asked.
