Hoshi felt that something was wrong about Senpai's smile.
"I said, this place is so beautiful; it's so appropriate for the beautiful you, Hoshi." Seiji smiled.
"…This doesn't sound like something Senpai would say."
"Hmm?"
"If it's a joke… No, even if it's a joke, I don't think that Senpai would say something like this," Hoshi stated as he looked into the other person's face. "It feels somewhat disgusting."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I was speaking from my heart. It hurts me to hear you say that." He sighed.
"…I apologize, but I really do think that it's quite strange."
"You may think it's strange because you don't understand the real me… actually, I've always been wearing a mask in front of you."
"A mask?" Hoshi blinked when he heard this.
