The Maid and the Maple Leaf (Hayasaka Ai x OC Male)

Chapter 45: Flaws, secrets and confrontation

Ryota's POV.

Ryota: *yawn*

Just as I was about to enter the student council room, I was stopped by Hayasaka-san.

Ryota: What's the matter, Hayasaka-san?

Hayasaka: Can you come with me for a while?

Ryota: H-Huh—

She grabbed my wrist as she lead me into one of the benches as we both sat down.

Hayasaka: K-Kaedehara-kun.......

Hayasaka: About the...........

Ryota: Yeah. I know.

Hayasaka: Huh?

Ryota: To be honest, I don't know how will I deal with it.

Ryota: My mind's been a mess for the past few weeks since the new semester began.

Hayasaka: Sorry, for my sudden........

Ryota: It's alright.

Ryota: But I did tell you that give me some time, okay?

Hayasaka: But........what if........

Ryota: Don't worry.

Ryota: I need to settle something first.

Hayasaka: Settle something?

Hayasaka: From the past again?

Then I showed her the locket that I found before I went to my summer trip.

Hayasaka: A locket?

Ryota: Yeah.

Ryota: This thing has been bugging me out.

Ryota: As far as I know, I have this locket but that's it.

Ryota: I can only guess I have this locket for a long time now.

Hayasaka: I see. There is also a keyhole in there.

Ryota: Yeah. I feel like there is something within there, that is something to do with me in the past.

Ryota: But anyways, I don't know what will happen, afterwards.

Ryota: Hayasaka-san, let me ask you this, when you confessed to me.

Ryota: Is it out of recklessness? Because of your own free will? Or is it because you just feel like it?

Hayasaka: ............

Hayasaka: It's genuine. I really like you.

Hayasaka: I really do!

Hayasaka: I........I..........

Ryota: Then prove it to me.......

Hayasaka: Prove it?

Ryota: Prove it that I should be the one who should be reciprocating those feelings.
