[ ... Well, this.. sure is an awkward moment. At first Peko was caught up in the surprise of what Yosuke was saying. Sure, she understands what he means (for once..) and it's not like she hasn't known it at all since she does know Fuyuhiko likes her in.. some way like that, at least.. but it's not like anyone else has ever told her something like that, so she's too stunned to even answer.

And even after that she doesn't get the chance, since suddenly there's a shout from a very familiar voice and before she knows it Yosuke is punched away. She's quick to move her hand to herself again, almost instinctively, as if she's ready to protect Fuyuhiko if need be. Even though he's the aggressor here, yes.

But once she truly realises what's going on her brain is more on damage control here, like usually. Except it's sort of difficult when she's still so surprised this even happening in the first place, guys almost fighting over her.. ]

Um.. [ Besides, she doesn't even know how to put this. ] Hanamura. When it concerns something such as that, he would certainly speak up about it.. [ Because he's her boyfriend-except-they-can't-officially-say-it-like-that. Basically. She turns to the shorter boy, quickly bowing to him. ] I apologize, I didn't see such a thing coming at all..

[ From her way of speaking it's pretty obvious she's still flustered too. Her cheeks are a faint pink. ]
