Chapter 86 - Cross (1/2)

Lyn rolled her eyes, 'What an impossible man,' she thought. Still, it seems like he will uphold his word about not doing anything to her. For Lyn, that was enough. While she can't give him a response because of everything that's going on right now, she can at least say, ”Thank you for being honest.”

Rhys nodded, ”Yeah.”

Because what else can she say other than her gratitude? What she feels towards Rhys; what their relationship is with each other is something utterly foreign to her. Lyn wondered what ordinary people would do in this situation?

....

Rhys suggested for her to say over which ended up with her hitting him and marching off. A deep sigh passed her lips as she made her way down the hall, she took one last glance back and found Rhys stood at the door staring at her. Lyn immediately turned away and increased her footsteps. 'Don't bother with him now,' she thought. Just return to Kazuya quickly.

Just as she thought at a pillar by the end of the hall, she found Kazuya acting suspicious, 'He heard, and saw, huh?' Lyn walked over and called his name, ”Kazuya?”

”I don't know who you're talking about miss; I see no Kazuya here.”

Lyn exhaled deeply, ”So, right now I am not speaking with my handsome boyfriend?” she emphasized the word handsome, and looked down, ”I guess not, if my boyfriend was here he would be giving me my hugs, Im very cold now,” no sooner had she finished that sentence she felt Kazuya's arms wrapped around her. He was nuzzling his face in her neck, ”Why is this stranger hugging me, I wonder.”

Kazuya sighed, ”Hey, you know I was only joking around.”

”I know, but your acting cold.”

”After you hugged another man for a long time. It is only natural.”

”Do you think I have enough strength to escape Rhys grip?”

Kazuya shook his head, ”I know, still frustrates me. Only I can use you as a body pillow.”

Lyn cheeks puffed up into a pout, ”Im just a body pillow?”

”Nope, you give me happiness elsewhere too,” Kazuya said. Lyn didn't have to ask what he was talking about and she stepped on his foot. This must be the men of the Sound Kingdoms nature, all of them are flirts and perverts, ”But really, that surprised me too.”

”You didn't know?”

”I knew,” Kazuya nodded, ”But I wasn't sure, well, Rhys is not the type to fall in love, so yes, I was uncertain,” not the type to fall in love, huh? But that's not something people can judge, Kazuya must have read her thoughts since he apologized, ”Sorry, I'm just a bit bitter. Though I predicted it, I didn't think he would confess. I thought even if he had those feelings, he wouldn't confess to you because of our mission.”
