[Haru should have seen that coming-- he can't believe it's used in those romance dramas when it's only served to make this situation worse, risking their whole relationship. Well, actually, it's made worse by Haru thinking it was a good idea to pursue this conversation at all.
His eyes open wide in shock with how sudden it felt, but after a glimpse into Rin's eyes, he quickly looks downwards. Yes, he knows Rin is serious about this just from seeing his face. But it only means revealing the truth would be harder. What are Haru's feelings, really? He's never felt anything like this before, which makes this even worse.
He considers the words "what if you hate me for it?" but he figures that Rin will press on anyway. Because Haru can tell-- once Rin sets his mind to something, nothing can deter him. Even when it comes to trying to pry into Haru's well-guarded feelings. A trait that Haru admires... most of the time. It just leaves Haru with no choice. Maybe getting it off his chest would at least put an end to this frustration.
But even if Haru told Rin the truth, he can't do anything about making sense.
Swallowing, his throat feels painfully dry.]
Because h-how--
[He lets out a shaky sigh. Here's to losing Rin again... but this time, it really is all his own fault.]
--I... feel about you... I-I've... never felt about anyone. Before.
