Chapter 85 - Unexpected Confession (2/2)

When he finally pulled away, a few minutes later. Rhys smirked, ”Well, I guess I'll keep it a secret. Thanks.”

Lyn didn't know what to say. So she kept her head down, Rhys, however, reached over and pulled her into his arms, ”So, this is how it feels to hug you. I guess I can see why Kazuya would get addicted to this. Your body is so soft.”

”L--let me go, please,” Lyn tried to remove herself from his hold. But she could not do so since he is stronger than her.

”Don't struggle so much; you'll find it is futile to do so,” Why is he doing this? Lyn regretted coming here, why did she naively come, without telling Kazuya as well, ”Don't be afraid, do you think I'd hurt you?” Lyn didn't realize how badly she was trembling until he said that.

”But, Rhys I...”

”Sssh,” he whispered, ”You know I really won't hurt you, I just wanted to let you now. Since the journey started, I've seen you and Kazuya get closer.”

”...”

So, he is serious. But how is she supposed to answer him? When she is still new to this love thing? She isn't as naive as people think. However, Lyn knew that the two of them getting close like this could easily be misunderstood. What if Kazuya walked in here? She doesn't want to be hated by him. Still, she felt Rhys hold on her tighten, and he brushed his lips against her hair. Maybe, he is worried about something? Kazuya always said that she's good at listening to peoples problems.

But this is Rhys; this guy is always so laid back. It's hard to tell what he is thinking, ”Say, Rhys, will you let go of me soon? I'll listen to whatever is bothering you so,”

”Something bothering me, huh? Hmm, I guess there is, and yeah I'll let you go.”

”You said yes, yes, but you're not even listening!” she exclaimed. Rhys arms seemed to tighten around her, ”Rhys, you're messing with me.”

”I would never,” he brushes his fingers against the girl's ears trailing down to her neck. Lyn felt her heart beat grow rapid. This is bad; she hasn't even been this close with Kazuya before. She can feel his breath too, he's way too close to her, ”Lyn,” he murmured, ”Will you answer my question? What exactly is our relationship?”

Ah, he wants an answer to that, after all, ”You didn't mind it when I didn't answer before.”

Rhys sighed, ”That's true. But how should I put it? I feel like I'm feeling a bit stressed.”

”Stress?”

”About what to do with you,” Rhys nodded, ”Can't figure out what to do with you at all.”

Why is he acting so calm about everything? Lyn sighed, ”You don't have to do anything other than letting me go right now,” she wants to avoid talking about their relationship. Right now, Lyn knew she wouldn't be able to answer him. Thinking about Kazuya and their new couple status, and her dreams alongside getting stronger took most of her time. Lyn knew she had plenty of things to worry about.

”Isn't that being too harsh on me? I genuinely like you, Lyn,”

”Please stop making me speechless.”

Rhys laughed, ”You do make it easy.”
