Haru guided the young woman's steps through gently gripping on her shoulders and cautiously directed her to the right path in the hallway. He made sure that she wouldn't trip since he wrapped a cloth around her eyes, disallowing her from seeing anything.

"Hey! We've been walking for five minutes now. Are you sure you're not planning to push me off a cliff or something?" (Y/N) started to fling her arms around in sheer attempt to hold onto anything, only to be stopped when she no longer felt the brunette's fingers resting on her back.

"Alright. You can open your eyes now." Her ears twitched upon receiving those words of soft command. She immediately snapped her eyes open, revealing a set of alluring (e/c) orbs lurking underneath a piece of dark cloth.

"Ah.. you got me a blindfold? Thank you!"

The young man pursed his lips into a thin blank line with the girl's statement. A sigh climbed out from the grasps of his throat as a playful grin made its way to adorn his face. With this, he gleefully fidgeted on the knot that tied the two ends of the handkerchief that he used on covering her sight.

Just as she was about to spat any childish remarks on her current situation, her attention was immediately snatched away from her. The slow harmonious beatings of her vulnerable heart became so loud that she swore she could clearly hear it around her.

"You.. you renovated the tea shop.. for me?" She clasped her hands together enthusiastically before facing the brunette who was now scratching his cheek to hide the hues of pink that was tormenting his whole identity. He shyly nodded in response to this, removing the hardware gloves that he forgot to take off of him because of his dire excitement to show his work to her.

"Now that you're... you're fine.. I figured that you would want to reopen the tea shop that Daisuke gave to you and continue running it. I.. I thought that I could surprise you with some cleaning and redesigning. Hope it's.. okay for you tho." 

(Y/N) roamed around the place and took note of the changes that happened. She beamed at how amazing it looks right now that she could not help but to admire it. The brunette just observed the young woman's mundane and appreciating reactions, his stomach now swirling with the different families of butterflies in the best way possible.

"Damn, Haru.. You outdid yourself! Thank you so much!" She skipped her way towards him, pulling him into a tight hug of gratitude afterwards. The male silently panicked with the sudden physical contact and all he could do was pat her head while mouthing a shaky welcome in the process, desperately begging his self to stop being embarrassed like some teenage school boy.

"Are.. are you free later tonigh-" 

Haru wasn't able to continue his sentence when a random ringing disturbed the moment that they were having together. (Y/N) detached herself from the playful hug and fished her phone from her pocket, recognizing the fact that the ringtone belonged to her. She bit the inside of her cheek as she silently skimmed the words that were written on the message sent to her.
