Ruka Moreko was also jogging for exercise at the moment.
She noticed a group of people running together.
Turns out a handsome new guy came to jog too.
He looked familiar.
His hair was a bit long, but well-maintained, giving off a clean and refreshing look. His features were well-defined, making him quite handsome. He had fair skin, but not sickly, and his tall frame had subtle muscular lines.
The morning sun shone down at an angle, landing on half his side profile. The gentle expression on his face was especially captivating, as if he held a mysterious power that brought peace of mind. Ruka Moreko looked at him for a while, she felt like she knew him but couldn't place it, momentarily she couldn't tear her gaze away.
He reached the end of the park and stopped, seeming to head straight towards me.
Ruka Moreko's heart rate slightly increased, what did he want to talk to me about?
“Hey, Miss Ruka Moreko, long time no see.” His voice was gentle and magnetic.
...
His eyes, that gaze… I’ve seen it, it feels so familiar.
Was he greeting me? Do we really know each other?
Kinoshita, Kinoshita Kazuya, is it really Mr. Kinoshita Kazuya?
“Mr. Kinoshita?”
Ruka Moreko asked shyly, a bit unbelievable.
“Yes, long time no see, Miss Moreko.” Kinoshita Kazuya smiled gently, unable to contain himself when he saw a familiar face: “I just changed my hairstyle last week, do you not recognize me, Miss Moreko?”
“Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.”
Sometimes, heart flutters come unexpectedly.
Ruka Moreko covered her left chest with her right hand, her face slightly flushed.
Ignoring Kinoshita Kazuya in front of her, she took out her phone.
“088bpm”
The heart rate monitoring software displayed 88 beats per minute, which meant...
“Is this… what it means to like someone?…”
Ruka Moreko was overjoyed at finding this feeling of a heartbeat she hadn’t felt in a long time…
Even someone like me, who’s like a robot, finally encountered my own fateful meeting?
Love?
It wasn’t found through the Rental Girlfriend platform, but discovered by chance during a run. What a blessing, this must be fate’s arrangement!
She raised her head and looked at the handsome man in front of her.
I must, I must, want to date him!!!
……
“Miss Moreko, what’s wrong?”
Kinoshita Kazuya asked with gentle concern.
“Nothing.” Ruka Moreko’s face was flushed with redness, her hazy, shy eyes looked at Kinoshita Kazuya: “Mr. Kinoshita, I have a question I want to ask you, is that okay?”
There was a shy, resolute determination in the girl’s voice.
“Of course, what is it?”
Kazuya wasn’t a fool, he could sense the ambiguous atmosphere.
Does Ruka Moreko like me a little?
“Do you have a girlfriend?” The girl asked resolutely, ignoring her inner shyness.
“Right now, no.” Kazuya seriously answered the girl’s question: “But I do have a goal I want to become a couple with.”
Kinoshita Kazuya remembered the kiss he shared with Nanao Mami on the cruise ship, smooth and sweet.
“Really?” Ruka Moreko understood that Kazuya wasn’t talking about her.
She was a little disappointed that she wasn’t the one, but she was also happy that Kazuya wasn’t lying to her.
A girl’s thoughts are hard to guess, a girl in love is even harder to guess.
“I, …, I.”
“I like you, please go out with me!!”
“88, 89, 90… 92bpm↑”
The girl with a completely red face, used all her strength to express her thoughts.
“Like? Go out?”
Kinoshita Kazuya was clueless at the moment, he completely didn’t understand why Ruka Moreko was confessing to him.
Even with his changed appearance, he could only be considered a match for a beautiful girl like Ruka Moreko, he didn’t have the charm to make every girl fall for him.
“…”
Kinoshita Kazuya felt a little distressed, due to the national situation, he didn’t have much experience dealing with girls’ confessions.
The first time, an embarrassing memory.
The second time, it was a natural progression from friends to lovers.
Now, it’s the third time, beautiful girl Ruka Moreko is confessing to him.
“Really?” Kinoshita Kazuya scratched the back of his neck in distress: “I’m happy that Miss Moreko confessed to me.”
“But I’m sorry, I have to decline.” Kinoshita Kazuya gave a serious reply: “We’re just friends right now, we don’t know each other well at all, I’m so sorry.”
Liking someone is a feeling that belongs to the person, but dating is a matter of two people.
Kazuya thought back, he and Ruka Moreko only started meeting at the park, they just bumped into each other and chatted during their jogs, they really were just friends.
“I know this is abrupt… but I really like Mr. Kinoshita Kazuya!”
The blue-eyed beauty showed no signs of giving up, her right hand clenched into a fist, pulling at her chest.
We’ve only spoken less than 100 sentences, including greetings, it’s a stretch to even call us friends, why would she confess to me? Could it be love at first sight?
Kazuya remembered the first time a girl confessed to him, a wave of distress washed over him.
Love at first sight is sometimes just a lie from your heartbeat, it won’t bring happiness!
“Really?” Kazuya looked at the crowd watching: “It’s getting late today, see you tomorrow!”
“Then my confession.”
Ruka Moreko didn’t know what to do, she confessed with all her courage, but now she couldn’t even raise her head to look at his face.
“I hope Miss Ruka Moreko will go home and think carefully about her feelings today.” Kinoshita Kazuya advised: “Don’t believe in things like love at first sight too much, our relationship only started at the park, all I know about you is that you’re a high school student, I don’t even know where you go to school, how much do you know about me?
Feelings are one thing, dating is another. I don’t know why Ruka Moreko likes me, but for the fact that I have a beautiful girl liking me, Kinoshita Kazuya felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
……
Her confession didn’t receive the answer she wanted, Ruka Moreko’s burning heart instantly cooled down.
She also understood that her behavior was troublesome for Kinoshita Kazuya, she didn’t even know what she liked about him, but the only thing she knew was that her heart was flustered. This data over 90bpm clearly and undeniably showed her heart’s flutter.
