⠀⠀ "I wanted to reject you, but I couldn't . . . I hate to say this, but I feel attracted to you." She pouted, giving a deep sigh before hugging him with hesitation. ⠀⠀

Knocks on Yuna's door. It's been a while since she saw the pilot.

She sat before Yuna, offering a soft smile before giving a deep sigh. "I just wanted to see how you were doing... it's, huh... it's certainly been a while."

She stood up & walked inside the room, looking around. "Nice place. Better than my apartment." She chuckled slightly.

Kiriko nodded at the girl's words & smiled. "I know. I'm also glad you & Hana got close again. You deserve to be happy after all."

"I don't know. I think Hana is more than that. She is very brave, just like you." She said, shrugging lightly before nodding at the next words. "Sure."

Kiriko grabbed the drink & smiled at Yuna. She had really missed the pilot so much. She loved how grounded Yuna was. "Maybe you are right, but you can't blame her for liking that... although, I know you are as good as her at what you both do." She shrugged.

Kiriko took a sip from her drink & pursed her lips a little, her eyes looking at Yuna's shoes while thinking for a sec. "I don't think she is making all of this for fame... Hana has also suffered a lot. Have you talked to her about this?" She asked, now making eye contact.

"Yuna, you both are friends. I'm sure if you ask her for a couple of minutes, she will give you that chance to talk." She said, taking another sip from her drink before giving a sigh.

Immediately turned around when she felt someone’s hand through her hair. Her eyes showed surprise the second she noticed who it was. “It’s… you…”

She walked into those open arms, wrapping her own around his frame. She had missed him too & she was glad to see him again. Weird, right? She was supposed to hate him, but she felt the other way around. “I really thought you didn’t want to see me ever again...”

“Of course, I forgot you were a busy man after all... with all those businesses you have to take care of.” She sighed against his shoulder, but she kept hugging him before she pulled away just for her face to be cupped by one of his hands. “I... yeah, you were working, me too.”

“Hm, where is she? I really thought she would be here. Well, I can stay here for you if you need some company.” She laid on the floor while looking at the ceiling.
