Maybe This Time: Sakusa K.

Chapter 5: Kiyoomi

"We're here." Sakusa unbuckled his seatbelt before taking his keys out but stopped when he noticed that she was tapping on her thighs. A mannerism of her whenever she's nervous.

"What are you nervous about?" Sakusa faced her.

Kiara then stopped tapping and instead scratched the side of her forehead. "I don't know what to say. You know? He might be disappointed that I didn't keep the contact or- or–"

She stopped talking when she felt Sakusa held bothe her shoulders and had her face him.

"You weren't this nervous when you met me." He questioned.

"That was an entirely different situation, Kiyoomi-kun. You looking for me that day wasn't part of my plan." She grunted.

"What was your plan, then?"

"Asking you for a coffee?" she answered rather quickly but came out like a question. "You know what? You're right, if Komori is upset, then so be it. I mean I was partly wrong so-"

"The no communication wasn't entirely your fault, Kiara-san. We're all busy. You had a company to lead and we were starting in the pro-league. If someone is upset, that wouldn't be Komori."

Right. What was she afraid of anyways?

Kiara unbuckled her seatbelt and went out at the same time as Sakusa.

Komori was the one who reserved a seat just for the two of them at a quiet private coffee shop, there were not many people so he chose this place.

He has been thinking the reason why his cousin asked him to meet at a place he deemed nice. It's not that Komori doesn't want to meet his cousin, it was more like 'out of character'.

Is he ill? Or is he asking for help? Not that his cousin is reckless or anything but the worst has gotten into his mind that he wasn't able to actively participate when he and his fiancé went out yesterday to look for a cake for their wedding.

It was getting harder and harder for his imagination but all went into stop when he saw a familiar woman enter the shop and behind her was his cousin.

Kiara found it oddly amazing how fast Komori was to close the gaps and walked - more like running to her.

"Kiara-san. You're here?" Komori looked at her from head to toe as he was happy to see his friend all so mature now. Unlike Kiara, who stared at Komori and Sakusa from afar, they on the other hand, didn't. So seeing Kiara now felt so nostalgic.

"Did you hide her from me and then finally decide to let us see each other again?" Komori accuses his cousin. Rather than answering, Sakusa glared at his cousin for talking so loudly in a very serene place, attracting as much attention as possible.
