"Wah! It's Jun!"
"Hoho, our top student looks so dignified! Welcome home, brother!"
"Come in! Come in! Teacher, quick, sit down too!"
While people were still scrambling to get to both Teacher Takaki and Jun, Himari and Nanako didn't join them.
In the merriment of the private room, the eyes of the two people who used to love each other were locked together.
As Himari didn't move her eyes away from him, Jun also was looking at her quietly. His gaze pierced through the crowd, finding her.
In a second, Himari thought she saw the man's eyes reddened before Jun became the first one to break their eye contact.
Himari blinked, regaining her senses then she lowered her gaze to the floor.
In the few minutes that their eyes met, she could see that he had matured into a fine young man. Jun, who already had good looks, seemed like he had his appearance turned more gentlemanly.
