For Our Happier Path

The words forcefully pushed his suspended heart down.

Heisuke's eyes widened. His expression fell in an instant. The softly spoken words sounded deafening in his ears.

Heisuke wanted to laugh at himself.

Sure enough, how could a promising young lady like her had feelings for him? Everything she did was only out of kindness. He was the one who got easily swayed because of the dreams.

"Sorry... I shouldn't ask that... I just..."

Heisuke didn't dare to look at her anymore.

Her voice rang out again, cutting through his hushed shame.

"It might sound absurd but, it's because I love you."

Shocked, Heisuke abruptly lifted up his head.

Hisaki bit her lower lip. Her eyelashes fluttered as heat radiated from her cheeks to her entire face.

Since it had come to this, she would just be truthful ah!

"Heisuke, is it possible if I want to pursue you?"
