Haruka wasted no time before he grabbed hold of Itsuki's collar, "I'm warning you, stay clear from her. " Haruka said in a threatening tone.
Itsuki chuckled, "You really care about her that much? That's not like you Haruka. Don't you remember the old days?"
"Damn. Now you show your true colors? Were you not going to keep up the act?"
That's right, this person knows. At the start, Haruka didn't recognize him. Itsuki changed so much. But one day he caught Itsuki fooling around with a participant. This was in last year's competition. The words Itsuki replied with were, 'Oh, but isn't it normal for us?' In his whole life, there's only one person who's ever said that before to him. A man he knew from then.
Before Haruka could say any more, he heard someone call his name.
"Haruka!"
Hearing his name, Haruka looked up and spotted his girlfriend.
