It was setup all along. The perfect way to trick them into a date. Why did she do that? Was she really that convinced that he loved Yuu? Mika himself wasn't even sure of his feeling. And Yuu. What was Yuu's feeling for him? br /"So, Mika... What should we do?" Yuu asked him. Mika took some time to think. Should they go back home and forget everything about this "date"? Or should they simply choose to have fun downtown as two friends? After having weighed the pros and cons of the situation, and thought a bit more, he knew what he wanted to do. "Well, since we're already there, we can just... Hang out together. Not as a date, though. Well, it's your choice. If you want to go home..." Why was he that nervous? It was Yuu.

Yuu was holding Mika's hand, guiding him into the streets. The blonde rarely ever left their apartment. And with a good reason.

Seeing the looks everyone sent his friend, Yuu took the initiative. He started to walk faster and brought Mika to an old park that no one ever went to. He then sat on the grass, telling Mika to do the same, which he did. br /"Yuu-chan... Can I ask you a question?" Mika suddenly said, looking at the other. When the other nodded, he continued.

But now the mist of confusion has been cleared and things became evident now. He now knew the reason why he always rejected girls' confession, or why he could never love a girl like Shinoa or Mitsuba. Or anyone else. He simply couldn't. Because his heart was already taken.
