The shy girl waited at the door, impatient and a little scared. She feared that nobody would be there, but then the door finally opened.
"Who is bothering you at this time?" Asked a deep voice.
"Um ..."
“Oh, it's you Miharu. Something happened? Come on in."
"Yes ... there ... thank you.", She replied and stepped into the apartment.
“Sorry, I wasn't expecting a visitor. It's a little messy here. ", He said and with a few movements freed the couch from the clothes lying around. "So, sit down. Do you want a drink?"
"No ... no. Please don't worry about me. ", She replied and lowered her gaze a little.
"OK. But tell me, what's the matter? "
"I left him!" She said in a loud voice.
"Wh ... what?" He asked, dropping the pen he was about to put away in shock.
“I ... I just couldn't take it anymore. I mean ... Chiaki, you know how he is. I just stopped loving him. "
"Miharu ..." Chiaki sits down across from her on the couch and looked at her with a concerned expression. "What will you do now?"
"Well I ... there is someone ..."
"Someone?"
"You love me, isn't it Chiaki?"
"Wh ..." He fell silent. How did she know about it? Of course she was right, he loved her more than anything. But he thought he had been able to hide his feelings well so far.
"Isn't it so?", She asked again and now looked directly at him.
"What makes you think that?"
"I don't know," she replied. “I just feel it. Whenever I was around you, I had this feeling of love and security. I can't explain it either. I just know that I love this feeling. "
"That you love that feeling?" He looked confused at the girl in front of him.
“Yes, Chiaki. I finally got it. I love you."
"You ..." Chiaki couldn't believe what he had just heard. Did you love him? It could only be a dream. "Are you serious? Do you really know what you are saying? "
"Yes I am sure. I love you Chiaki. “, She answered with a slight smile on her face.
"That ... is like a dream. Miharu I… ”He got up and took a few steps towards her. “You are right, I love you. I've always loved you. ”He knelt down in front of her and looked her straight in the eye.
The girl's cheeks turned pink and her heart was beating up to her throat. "I know," she said and approached the face of the person opposite.
"Miharu ..." He put his right hand on her cheek and carefully pulled her close. Then he closed his eyes and touched her lips with his and kissed her passionately.
