"Face it. You're in love, Kiyo."

Sakusa couldn't escape the repetition of those three words in his mind, echoing relentlessly like a persistent drumbeat. "You're in love, you're in love, you're in love, you're in love."

It seemed like a phrase that eluded his full understanding, yet its power continued to pierce his consciousness, growing stronger with each recurrence. As he sat at the restaurant, engaged in a casual conversation about life's various aspects, savoring milkshakes and fries, their exchange took an unexpected turn.

The topic shifted involuntarily, delving into the depths of Sakusa's profound emotions for a particular blonde boy, a sentiment that he struggled to grasp.

If those three words, "you're in love," had not been uttered, Sakusa may not have choked on the fries he was hastily swallowing.

Perhaps the other customers in the restaurant wouldn't have exchanged judgmental glances tinged with sympathetic concern. This was precisely why Suna preferred this restaurant— it typically allowed people to mind their own business, aside from the occasional stares that outsiders like Sakusa endured. However, this time, Kiyoko's timely intervention stole the spotlight. Startled by Sakusa's choking, she rushed to his aid without hesitation.

"Drink some water!" Kiyoko urged, gently patting his back, while offering him her glass of water, likely regretting his decision to order just a milkshake.

Accepting the water gratefully, Sakusa gulped it down enthusiastically, as if he were an athlete in a competition, successfully dislodging the fries stuck in his throat. Though he felt relieved, his embarrassment was undeniable as he fixated his gaze on Kiyoko, his face flushed and perspiration glistening from the close call of his near-death experience.

In that momentary exchange of glances, Sakusa silently acknowledged the truth behind her words. Her unexpected remark had struck a chord, and he couldn't deny the depth of his feelings for the cute blonde, an enigma he had yet to fully comprehend. Thus, this chance incident at the restaurant unintentionally pushed Sakusa face-to-face with the realization that he could no longer ignore the undeniable pull of his own heart.

Kiyoko's light teasing continued to both embarrass and intrigue Sakusa. As she playfully remarked, "If I knew you were going to die hearing me saying you're in love with Atsumu, then maybe I should've done it earlier."

Sakusa's cheeks flushed with a deeper shade of crimson upon hearing that.

He couldn't help but shift his focus to his chocolate milkshake, the sweet concoction now accompanied by a swirling mix of emotions that threatened to disrupt his composure.
