Just as Akira sat back down, Harumi looked at her lap and fiddled with her thumbs, obviously showing how nervous she was. Josh and Sangre both looked at Akira curiously, wondering what was said between the two. Although just they heard what the dare was, all eyes -excluding Harumi’s- got wide.
“Kiss?” Sangre asked, glancing at Harumi only to see her head down and her cheeks flushed. “Just as long as she’s okay with it.”

Harumi peeked up, nodding her head slowly and tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. “I don’t mind it…” she muttered bashfully.
Nodding his head, the chef tried his best to hold back the smile threatening to show as he stood up, smirking a little and grasping Harumi’s hand to stand her up as well. “Don’t be nervous, relax.” he whispered to her.
Once the gardener was standing, Sangre gently captured her chin and jaw in his hand, making her look up into his eyes. “Relax.” He whispered even softer, taking a step closer to her and leaning down just a bit.

Harumi took a deep breath and held it in. Glancing at Akira and Josh, almost in a way to ask ‘what do I do?’ before she quickly refocused back on Sangre and looked at his lips. Wordlessly, she got on the tips of her toes, getting a bit closer to the older man but not making the first move.
Instead, Sangre wrapped his other hand around her waist, bringing her closer and keeping his hand captured between her cheek and jaw as he leaned down, both of them closing their eyes as they finally kissed. Their lips just softly touched, nothing too passionate or over the top, it was simple and chaste, and lasted only a few seconds before Sangre drew back, his blue eyes opening slowly and his lips parting.
“Is that enough?” Sangre asked Akira, although his eyes stayed glued to Harumi, both of them looking transfixed upon one another.
