Chapter 1095: Surprising the Two

“I believe it’s only natural, Ruki. I will listen to your request just once and try not to steal you on the first day of my return.

However, if you failed to convince me why I shouldn’t steal you from them and make you mine exclusively, you best be prepared for what I’m about to do.

You have no idea how much impact you made on me. Without you, I will still be stuck in an endless quagmire, trying to keep up face and please whoever’s in front of me. There wouldn't be the Hana of today if not for you.

I may not have known what else happened to you during my absence. Nevertheless, I am willing to believe that you’re not the same cold yet extremely warm boy anymore.

Anyhow, Chizuru and Hifumi likely thought I befriended them. I don’t. I only used them to get to know more about the sides of you that I can’t see whenever you’re in front of me. Please extend my apologies to them if you meet them.

PS. The song fits what I’m about to do. I don’t see why won’t I use it otherwise?”
