"Why don't you make some tamagoyaki?"

"Tamagoyaki? Okay!" Kōyū agreed.

After discussing what to eat that evening, the two decided to go to the supermarket together to buy groceries.

Last night, this morning, and noon today, these three meals have used up most of the supplies in the refrigerator, so I need to go to the supermarket to buy some more.

After that, Ai behaved as usual, showing no sign of doubting Kousuke.

Guangyou did not show any other plans.

Both of them were acting, but neither of them realized that the other was acting.

After buying the groceries and chatting for a while, we'll prepare dinner together when it's time.

After dinner, Kōyū and Ai played cards in their room.

Time passed by, and seeing that it was getting late, Kōyū said goodbye to Ai and prepared to go back.

"I'm going back now. You should get some rest tonight."

She didn't probe Guangyou from the side first, nor did she use words to trap Guangyou and force him to admit that she was hiding something from him.

This time, Ai asked Kōyū very directly:

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The foot that had been halfway out stopped in mid-air, paused for a second, and then landed on the ground.

"No?" Kōyū turned to Ai with a puzzled look and said, "If I had to say something, it would be that you shouldn't stay up too late at night."

"I understand," Ai replied, then asked again, "Besides that, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

She looked up at Guangyou.

Although her expression was the same as before, her gaze made Guangyou feel a little uneasy.

He can be heartless to others, but he becomes incredibly gentle in front of Ai and those he cares about.

But he felt the time wasn't right and didn't want to tell Ai.

After putting on a troubled expression and thinking for a while, Kwang-woo frowned and said, somewhat bewildered:

"Other things..."

"It seems there really aren't any left."

"I'll give you one more chance," Ai said calmly.

"Let me think..." Guangyou still looked bewildered, standing there, pondering.

Seeing Kōyū deep in thought, Ai didn't disturb him.

She didn't know what Guangyou had been doing behind her back, but she was certain it wasn't anything bad to her.

She seemed to be saying, "I won't forgive you until you tell me."

But in reality, Ai had already made up her mind that if Kousuke didn't tell her this time, she wouldn't ask him again.

Just like she said, this is the last chance.

Of course, this incident will not affect their relationship.

After a brief silence, Guangyou seemed to have made a momentous decision and spoke:

"Alright then, I'll tell you."

Hearing Kōyū's words, Ai finally said the few things she had wanted to say all along:

"Didn't you tell me during the day that I could talk to you if I had anything on my mind?"

"You too, if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me."

"Unless that topic is not convenient for me to discuss."

"But actually, what I want to talk to you about isn't anything inconvenient." Guangyou didn't rush to say anything, but instead straightened his clothes.

“Then you can definitely tell me,” Ai said, looking at Kousuke. “Unless you… don’t…”

Ai stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

Because at this moment, Kōyū had already taken out the things that he had asked Kōyū Kaito to prepare from the inner pocket of his clothes.

It was a small, exquisite velvet box.
