CHAPTER 162- APOLOGY

Akisu was damn nervous.

At one o'clock, he returned home and changed his clothes after taking a bath. He applied body spray all over and brushed his teeth, to make himself presentable for the meeting.

Once he combed his hair, he checked the time,

[1.32]

He still has two hours left before he meets her.

'It will take me fifteen minutes to reach the destination...okay, I should leave in an hour.' It was obvious that he wouldn't reach there just on time. Considering the heat today, he didn't want Miku to wait for him under the sun, so he would reach there early.

Finally...it was happening.

He couldn't forget that night when everything went downhill when Akisu confessed what he felt about her and their relationships

He was an idiot, not because he disclosed what he felt. Rather, it was because of how much he degraded himself. And that absolutely wounded her heart.

She wanted him to value himself more, and the mere thought of him considering himself unworthy of her was something Miku couldn’t stand.

So he has to be careful of what he says today or he might not get another chance.

The doorknob of his room was twisted before his mother stepped inside with a tray full of fruits, "You didn't have lunch so I-oh, my~ Are you meeting someone?" She was impressed by how well her son dressed today.

White trousers, with a blue shirt, gave a very contrasting but handsome appearance to the boy.

Although Akisu was still slightly overweight, his recent workout routines have helped him build some muscles, and when dressed properly he didn't look like his previous self at all.

"Yeah...a friend." He can call Miku a friend only, right? And not like he would have told them even if she was his gi-girl-girlf-f...well, yeah.

"Is it a girl?" His mom teased, only for Akisu to grumble before he took the tray and told her, 

"Don't barge in my room without knocking. Really, mom..." He closed the door once she left while teasing him all the way.

Sitting down on the table, he decided to have some fruit before leaving to keep himself hydrated, when suddenly, he found the small green blimp on top of his phone being lit.

"Hmm?" His brows went up as he picked up a piece of apple and the phone at the same time.

*Tap* 

The apple slice fell back where it was picked from, once Akisu saw the message 

Miku: [I am near the gym. Can you meet me now?]

His mouth remained hung open in shock as he saw that she message seven minutes ago.

Faster than light, his fingers moved, as he texted,

[Okay!]

He typed and got up. 

Patiently waiting and waiting to see if she sees the message or not.

Just as his hand went to the doorknob, the other person started messaging,

Akisu's heart trembled as those few seconds went like hours for him, before finally,

Miku: [I am already here *image*] 

She attached a picture of the gym with the message, making Akisu's eyes wide. 

He didn't think twice before bolting out of the room and dashing out of his house.

With all the strength he had in his eyes and legs, he ran towards the gym, which fortunately wasn't far away from his house. 

There, he saw a girl, which made his already strongly beating heart pound even faster.

Akisu slowly came to a pause as his eyes caught her figure, standing on the other side of the street and checking her phone.

Those who passed by glanced at the redhead, who gave a very youthful vibe in her red and white summer dress. She was wearing a hat on her head as well, with her hair tied in a ponytail.

He didn't feel it when he left his home, but now, a few meters away from her, Akisu was feeling nervous—hell level.

His heart was trembling at the sight of her waiting for him...the words he prepared to say to her...were all forgotten.

Without him knowing, his feet had already come to a pause as he stared at her from across the street.

"If you just wanted to stare, you could have asked for a picture of me or something." Suddenly, Miku raised her eyes and called out to him in a slightly exasperated tone.

Akisu was flustered as he said, "Sorry ..I was dazed...you look beautiful today." 

Her cheeks adapted to a faint blush upon hearing that, as she averted her gaze and crossed her arms under her bust, "Just flattering me is all you can do."

Akisu sheepishly smiled, "I can treat you to lunch too."

Miku narrowed her eyes, "Now you are trying to bribe me as well. Well, I will accept your proposal if it comes with an apology."

Akisu's smile dropped a little, as he slowly muttered, "Yes...I have to apologize, for a lot of things."

Miku's heart melted at the sight, before she ushered him, "Okay then, let's go now. I can't tolerate the heat." She suddenly hugged his arm and began walking.

The sensation of her soft breast pressing against his arm was quite stimulating to the point that Akisu's face matched the shade of her hair 

However, he didn't falter in his steps and led the lady to the nearby eatery.

On the way, there were many who were glancing in their way, and saying things, but Akisu ignored them all and happily walked with his crush.

That's right until she doesn't mind, Akisu would turn a blind eye to the world. 

All he needs is her.
