Ch 117: The Love Between Us

 "What is wrong with you? You look like you've just seen a ghost." Yuu chuckled as he sat next to Minami on the couch.

 She was sitting there with her hands firmly in her lap, trembling uncontrollably.

 "Mm…." she responded.

 Yuu wrapped his arm around her and gently rubbed her shoulder, his concern growing.

 "What is it? What's wrong? You're starting to scare me."

 Minami bit her lip, her shoulders becoming more tense.

 "You can tell me anything you know? I won't ever make you feel unsafe. Anything you tell me is safe with me."

 Yuu got on his knees in front of her and lifted her chin to make her look at him, "Tell me what's going on."

 For some reason, she couldn't manage to get the words out of her mouth no matter how hard she tried.

 All she could do was stare into Yuu's eyes pleading to him for help telepathically.
