[ 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.

[It felt very close to if not actually fate. So many things had to line up to make it possible. Even if he was just a teacher on her campus, she could have gone without seeing him for whatever reason. But he’s not just a teacher there, he is her teacher.]

I’m happy to know I’ve been able to make you feel so comfortable. And I like you as well, Sonico. I always looked forward to our conversations or receiving a new message from you.

[Even if he didn’t respond immediately when she sent one, whenever he had the free time he would always message her back. It was nice to have that connection with someone, even if it wasn’t in person.

He never tried to pressure her into revealing details about herself or her life. He was sure she would have reacted negatively if he tried. Through all their conversations, he’d grown content with their relationship being just that, two people chatting on an app mostly anonymously. But to think things were changing this fast. And now he had even received an invite to her home.]

Yes, I will stop over. I think ground rules are incredibly important before we do anything else.

[He thinks he knows what most of them will be from her end. She lived under strict rules as an idol. But she is breaking some of the most important ones by inviting him over. She broke them by even chatting with him privately like she had done. But, being her Teacher does give him a bit of wiggle room. He doesn’t think he will ever have to use it, because he knows how to be discreet. He knows how to look for tails or people surveying certain areas. If it is her desire to pursue something more with him than they have no ,he will make sure she is as protected as possible.]

Send me your address and I’ll come over now if that is fine with you.

[He’s never asked if she lives alone. Her living situation had never once been a topic of conversation, because why should it be? But now he would learn about that and much more.]
