A.N. Sorry for lateness, guys. My bad. :/ And this chapter is short which means I suck even more. Really sorry.
Does she look at Haru the way Kenji looks at her?
In all his wonder with the girl, he never observed her around his rival. (This isn't a surprise to Kenji; Haru doesn't like his company when the runway is with her. And the feeling is quite mutual for Kenji.)
Does Haru look at her the way Kenji looks at her?
Does Haru see a bundle of frustration held in place by a sense of splendor, a spark of mystery? Does Haru see a girl so emotionless and blunt with a glimmer of beautiful potential hidden in those caramel eyes?
(Kenji does.)
But he does not know how a lover looks at his darling. His father never even glances at his mother anymore. Kenji does not know how true love looks when it shines earnestly in the eyes of a heart gone head-over-heels. How is he supposed to know if he looks at Shizuku the way she looks at Haru? How is he supposed to know if he looks at her the way Haru looks at her?
He doesn't even know how he looks at her.
And he can't compare loving gazes when he's sure he doesn't even have one.
(But then he wonders if she ever blushes when she's around him like Kenji does near her.)
And there's something empty like disappointment settling in his stomach because he's so sure she doesn't.
does she?
