Through the bustling crowds of the mall, bratty children whining, friend groups having fun, couples holding hands. There was you and Kei.

Standing in front of a book store hidden in a smaller part of the mall, you stared in amazement at the size of it, the cozy yet good sized store just waiting to be explored.

But Kei’s eyes were on you, staring fondly before he quickly looked away and cleared his throat.

“If you want to go in, just say so.” He huffed, as if he hadn’t just be ogling you.
