Falling Rain (4)

Once she re-emerged from the bathroom after her shower, she wore Haruka's shirt and a jacket on top. Haruka had returned, but he wasn't alone, a familiar blonde hair man sat on the sofa drinking alcohol. She recognized him because she's seen his photographs before. This man is the one Soichiro told her to be careful about this man.

Haruka called her over, and she joined him on the couch, his arms wrapped around her, "You smell good..."

"Y—yes..."

She smells good? She used the shampoo she had in her bag. She's glad she brought it...

The blonde hair man coughed.

"What were you saying?"

"Ahhgh, the dammed Austin family caught on. Can you believe it?"

Lila immediately reacted to the Austin family name. Thump. Thump. Thump. It still hurts Kiryu. She can't enter a relationship with Haruka. She never wanted to let go of Kiryu's hand.... these feelings for Haruka, would they not have just gone away, like the one she had for senpai in middle school?
