Mori Ken's eyes literally went into full circles the moment he went face-to-face with Sakura when he least expected it to happen.
He forces a nervous kind of smile and says, "H-Hayashi-san! What are you still doing here?"
"Huh? Hayashi-san? You mean Sakura is with you now?"
Oops, Ken almost forgot that Yamamoto Ryuuji was still on the other line and that it had slipped his mind to end the call right away.
Without hesitation, Ken immediately ended the call without answering Ryuuji's question and faced Sakura with all the courage he could gather.
However, just before he could explain the real situation, Sakura had already turned her back on him with a downcast face to hide her eyes that were starting to swell with tears at the moment.
"Hayashi-san… please… hear me out this once."
