Chapter 511 - What if.. (1/2)

Then again, he figured out a long time ago, that Lyn had problems when it came to communicating her thoughts to other people. Despite her sneaking out a lot, Lyn has not adapted to the human world. She is still clumsy when it comes to interacting with other people.

He's had plenty of chances. Since Kazuya and Lyn broke up, to get close with Lyn. But, never once used those chances to even scr.a.p.e a lawyer of his feelings. There were occasions where he thought she knew. But even then, he couldn't see anything in her eyes that resembled understanding, or how she treated the guys, she knew liked her.

'He still doesn't understand it exactly, what he wants from you. It's already clear as day that he can't hold back his feelings anymore. No matter what he does, he can't dismiss his feelings. But that doesn't necessarily mean he understands what he wants from you. If he was just any normal guy, he would probably find the opportunity to confess. Theory wise, that's the best course of action to take.

But Rhys understood that some theories never play out; in this case, it's a theory regarding romance than science. It's clear as day that there will be irrationalities.

Reality is different. Reality wise, confessing is impossible - because who would have the heart to confess after hearing her deep feelings. Seeing how deeply she cares for another person? '

....

Rhys awkwardly looks up from his book. In the end, the two of them ended up going to a library nearby. Coincidentally, it's a library owned by his parents.

He didn't realize it until the staff members started greeting him. He wonders why she chose to come here of all places. ”Ne ne senpai, there's supposed to be a book here regarding the world's end. I don't know the title, though.”

Normally, that wouldn't be very helpful. But, since it's a book Lila wants to read in his families' library, it must be the one father mentioned before. Rhys found it for her and hands it over.

For a moment, nobody said a word. The only sound that he could hear was the sound of her flickering pages.

”Say, what would you do if the world would end tomorrow?”

”. . I would tell you I love you and then propose.”

”Are you teasing me?”

”No. No, never mind. Forget what I just said.” Rhys said while averting his gaze. Rather, what is he doing suddenly confessing like this out the blue? Yet, for some reason, these words left his mouth.

He felt the black hair girl's hand brushed against his back, he dropped the book in his hand. His whole face was a bright red, and he could feel his cheeks burning hot.

Lyn's eyes widened, surprised. She looked at him, puzzled. ”Why are you blushing?”

.. Or rather, why are you asking that so casually? Alright, two can play at this game. ”What, I'm not.” Rhys denied.

But unfortunately, his red-stained face betrayed his words.

”Your lying.”

”I--I'm not. I'm not blushing.”

”It's obvious; your face is bright red.”

. . He can't argue against that. ”I'm happy.”

”Yeah, yeah.”

”Guess what? I like you too.” Lyn said with a bright smile.
