never say i like you

"Mr. Sakata, it's great that you are willing to cooperate well. If it is possible, it would be even better if you can hand over the manuscript to me now so that I can go back to the business sooner." Sakata Mitsuha was actually willing to modify the score. The mirror draft was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you hate staying with me so much?" Mitsuha Sakata looked down at the storyboard draft in his hand. His bangs were too long to cover his eyes, making it impossible to see him The expression now.

"No...not...what's annoying or not, I'm really in a hurry, I don't mean anything else." Suddenly felt that something was wrong with Sakata Mitsuha, originally wanted to answer 'yes', when the words came But nothing came out of his mouth.

Sakata-sensei looks hurt and vulnerable, I've never seen such a Sakata-sensei.

"It's true, Mr. Sakata, I don't hate staying with you, it's just that I'm in a hurry. You also know that it's an extraordinary time. Our editorial department is very busy at this time, just talk to Shurachang Same." Seeing that Sakata Mitsuha didn't speak or move for a long time, Hojo Ichikawa became a little anxious.

"Really? Then I'm relieved, I thought you hated me so much that you didn't want to see me at all, hehe..." Sakata Mitsuha returned to her usual state, smiling at Hojo Ichikawa .

"..." This person, how should he deal with it so that he can be comfortable?

"Here, here is the manuscript you want." Sakata Mitsuha took out a thick document bag from the side and handed it to Hojo Ichikawa.

"!" Unexpectedly, Mr. Sakata, who was among the top draggers, actually caught up with the deadline this time and really finished the manuscript!It's not going to rain red today, is it?

"In this case, I will take my leave first, and I will trouble you with the storyboard draft to be revised." Hojo Ichikawa got up and left after speaking.

"!...Hey! Teacher Sakata! What are you doing?!" Hojo Ichikawa, who hadn't reached the entrance, was suddenly hugged from behind. Looking at the slender and strong arms on his waist, he knew it without thinking. , Who is the person holding him tightly behind.

"Don't move around! I won't do anything, I just have something to say to you, and I will let you go after I finish speaking." Sakata Sanye tightened her hands, for fear that the person in her arms would run away .

"Huh?..." Hojo Ichikawa paused and stopped struggling.

Seeing that Hojo Ichikawa stopped struggling, Sakata Mitsuha breathed a sigh of relief, his frown also relaxed, and he looked at Hojo Ichikawa with a serious face.

"Hojo, I like it...!" Sakata Mitsuha was drowned out by another voice before she finished speaking.

"Hello! Sakata, I came in by myself when I saw that your door was unlocked, you..." When the person who came in saw Sakata Mitsuha and Hojo Ichikawa who was hugged by Sakata Mitsuha, he stopped talking halfway. After a pause, the handsome face that was originally full of smiles instantly became expressionless.

"Mr. Kagawa!"

"Kawasaki!"

"You..." The person here is Kawasaki, Sakata Mitsuha's bad friend, Hojo Ichikawa's good friend, and the chairman of 'Jiuchuan Bookstore'!

Kawasaki stared blankly at the hands holding Hojo Ichikawa's waist, seeing the ambiguous posture of the two, his eyes darkened, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Sakata Mitsuha kept looking at Kawasaki, and there were great changes before and after. He had never seen Kawasaki showing such an expression, and he immediately understood it because he was smart.

Shouldn't this guy be...

Hojo Ichikawa, on the other hand, was more careless and didn't notice what was wrong with the two of them. He broke free from Sakata Mitsuha's arms, and happily ran to Kawasaki.

"Mr. Kagawa! It's really Mr. Kagawa! Why did you come here? Don't you know Mr. Sakata?" Hojo Ichikawa grabbed Kawasaki's arm and smiled brightly.

"!"

Seeing Hojo Ichikawa smiling so happily and so intimately at Kawasaki, Sakata Mitsuha frowned, as if his heart was pressed down by a big rock, heavy, stuffy, and very uncomfortable.

You have never shown me that smile before, why can you smile so happily at that guy?

"Hojo, what a surprise! To meet you here, we are so destined! Haha... Kiju and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts!" Kawasaki gently rubbed Hojo Ichikawa's hair, said with a smile.

ah!Kagawa-san really looks good when he smiles!Never get tired of it!Obviously, I have read it countless times and said... let such a monstrous man come to harm the world, God, you did it on purpose, right?

"Damn! Who do you say is a log? How am I like a log? Who is your childhood sweetheart? Hojo-kun, don't listen to his nonsense, I and this enchanting man are at best bad friends!" When it was wood, Sakata Mitsuha started to fry.

"Huh?..." He said that Mr. Kagawa is... an enchanting man?Uh...it is indeed quite evil, yes...

"Hojo, is there something on my face? Staring at me like this, I will be shy." Seeing Hojo Ichikawa staring at him, Kawasaki blushed a little embarrassed.

"Huh? No...it's nothing!" Hojo Ichikawa smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, you blushing, bastard!" Seeing that Kawasaki was actually blushing, Mitsuha Sakata was upset again.

"... Tsk~ You are so rude, Sakata!" Kawasaki gave Sakata Mitsuha a sharp look.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Hojo Ichikawa was speechless.It seems that these two people are closer to the word "bad friend" than "childhood sweetheart"!

"Oh, by the way, Hojo-kun, aren't you in a hurry?" Sakata Mitsuha looked at the time and kindly reminded her.

"Ah! That's right! I almost forgot the business! I have to go, I'm sorry, Mr. Kagawa, I can't chat with you properly, please treat you to a meal some other day!" The editor-in-chief murmured.

"It's okay, go get busy!" Kawasaki patted Hojo Ichikawa on the shoulder and said softly.

As soon as Hojo Ichikawa left, the two of them who had been smiling on their faces immediately turned gloomy. Where is the smile still there?

"How did you know Hojo Ichikawa?" Sakata Mitsuha said looking at Kawasaki.

"How do you know him?" Kawasaki asked without answering.

"He is my editor in charge." Mitsuha Sakata answered very simply.

"So that's the case, but I think it's more than that." Kawasaki sat on the sofa beside him.

"You haven't answered my question yet!" Sakata Mitsuha also sat down, facing Kawasaki.

"Me and him? It's a chance encounter." Kawasaki couldn't help laughing when he thought of the encounter with Hojo Ichikawa.

Sakata Mitsuha said in his own name that he had never seen Kawasaki like this before. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would definitely suspect that the man in front of him was not Kawasaki himself but a counterfeit from somewhere.

"The one you mentioned to me before, the person who moved your heart and wanted to fall in love seriously, shouldn't it be Hojo!" Sakata Mitsuha frowned and complained secretly, if he knew he should have asked clearly at that time of.

"That's right! I like him! I want him to be my wife, seriously!" Kawasaki said seriously, without any hint of joke in her words.

"Unexpectedly, the famous cold-blooded nobleman would actually have a day of affection, but it is a pity that your love will not come to fruition, because Hojo Ichikawa is mine!" Sakata Mitsuha also said seriously own mind.

"In this case, let's have a fair competition! Let's see who can win Hojo's heart and be with Hojo in the end. The loser will automatically withdraw without any complaints, how about it?" Kawasaki said.

"Okay, let's do it like this! Anyway, the one who can get Hojo's heart will definitely be me!" Sakata Mitsuha said very confidently.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Kawasaki was not to be outdone.

"However, it's ironic that the first rival in love is actually my bad friend."

"Same feeling!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The two laughed heartily, but they began to plan in their hearts how to get Hojo Ichikawa.
