[ As complicated as the situation was, Sonico knew that what ever they were doing… or what ever the intention was to do… it was dangerous. At the end of the day, he was her professor and she was his student; the logical thing to do was to treat this as professionally as possible and let her down easy. And honestly that is what Sonico thought he called her to do at first. As such, Sonico is prepared for rejection despite how much it hurt. ]
Y-Yeah… it really was a coincidence to meet up like this. [ More than just a coincidence — it felt like fate. There were hundreds of universities in Japan and yet, somehow, he had been hired to hers; to teach her class specifically. There was no way she could have remained silent about all of this no matter her better judgment. They hadn't exactly started a relationship through the dating app; most of their conversations were pretty casual, albeit some flirting here and there. Sonico had been too nervous to talk dirty at the time and Yujiro had been respectful of her boundaries. So when he says she's beautiful, that he had seen her in magazines but at the time could not place her face… her heart skips a beat. ] T-Thank you, Takahashi-san. I… I'm really glad you think so.
[ How do you want to proceed, Sonico? It goes without saying that she really, really wanted to pursue this. He was handsome — really handsome. But there were other variables to consider; she couldn't just be immature about this and assume that a student-teacher relationship wouldn't get them both into trouble. ]
I-I… I like you, Takahashi-san. I really do. Talking to you really helped me back then. I was lonely a lot of the time, and you were always kind and considerate – you treated me like a person, not a celebrity. [ Sonico walks to her living room to sit down. She takes a deep breath. ] If we really do this, we should probably put down some ground rules, right?
[ Sonico takes another deep breath to gather the courage to what she would say next. ]
If you want… we should meet face to face and talk about this. My house isn't too far from campus… I-I can send you my address.
