Odd Interaction (2)

"You idiot… How could you mess with my emotions like that." Her muffled complaints entered his ears, stunning him.

'Playing with her emotions? What does she mean by that?' 

"I thought something was wrong… That you were going to break up with me." She admitted, not removing her face from his chest.

"EH!? Why would I do that?" Ken's jaw dropped, not understanding how she could have gotten such an idea. He stepped back and placed her at arm's length, wanting to understand what he'd done wrong.

However, upon seeing the tears streaking down her face, Ken felt a pang in his heart once more. He could only blame himself for causing her to cry.

'Is it because I hesitated?'

"I don't know… But you need to be careful with your words in the future so I don't jump to any conclusions." Ai said, wiping the tears away from her face.

Just as Ken was about to respond, a guy grabbed his arm and pulled him back away from Ai.
