She then asked, “When did you start liking me? Why didn’t | know?”

At that, he only smiled at her in response.

However, she never got to meet him every tshe was back, so she disregarded the times she had been back. Hence, she was

unclear just when Ren had started having feelings for her.

“When you were five years old, you were just a little brat that kept pestering me. You would not only tear up my homework, but

you would even snatch my pen away from me. When you couldn’t get what you wanted, you'd even start crying out loud. You were

when she had just gotten out of the car. Even though he was already planning to leave at the time, he couldn't do so, as he was

engrossed in looking at how innocent she was. It was then he realized the feelings he had for her weren't the skind he had

when she was still a child, but it was the skind one would have for another adult. She had held a small place in his heart until

it was gradually fully filled by her.
