[Recap] Love Academy Yaoi Story ~ Chapter 3

Chapter Three begins at night with Melos' childhood friend, Selinuntius, being summoned into the royal city. They appear before each other for the first time after two whole years and that's when Melos breaks the news. He tells Selinuntius that he has been sentenced to death after being accused of attempting to assassinate the Tyrant. 

The news breaks Selinuntius' heart and he begs his friend to let him do anything for him. The Tyrant is silent and Melos asks Selinuntius for the favor of becoming the Tyrant's hostage for three days while he returns to his village and give his sister a wedding. After listening to the whole story Selinuntius just nods and gives his best wishes. They hug, a gesture showcasing two people's complete trust in one another but the Tyrant is unmoved and separates the two. The Tyrant wastes no time on bounding Selinuntius and pushing him down into his cell. 

The two friends, though separated by the rusty bars of the cell, try the approach each other. Melos swears upon their friendship by closing their eyes and resting their foreheads together that he'll definitely come back for his friend.

Takumi cuts the scene. That's the end of rehearsal for the day. Jun asks the cast and crew if everyone is okay stopping there but when he looks up Dr. Kanzaki is still in acting mode with his eyes closed and forehead still touching Jun. Jun is ticklish and embarrassed and notifies Dr. Kanzaki that rehearsal is over. He comes into his senses and distances himself from Jun. Yota says outloud that he's thirsty and orders the Naomi  to get them all juices. Others chime in that they want juice too and they argue with you gets to grab the juices for them. Dr. Kanzaki settles them down by offering to treat them to drinks and bringing the drinks over to them. As he leaves to get the drinks, Jun runs after him to help out.

Dr. Kanzaki asks how Jun feels about being Selinuntius and compliments him on his charming, passionate, and mysterious acting. He reaches out and gently touches Jun's head like an older brother would and Jun blushes in response. He praises Jun for his hard work and gives him an extra bottle of juice as a reward. This doesn't settle well with Jun. He frowns, thinkning that Dr. Kanzaki is making fun of him by treating him like a child. He tells him so, citing that he's a decent young man and Dr. Kanzaki just laughs. 

But Jun can't believe him. He clenches his fist, thinking back to all the times in France where he was made fun of for being short. Dr. Kanzaki continues patting his head while telling him that it takes time to become an adult. However,this time rather than blushing, Jun from feelings of loneliness. Dr. Kanzaki is surprised and Jun leaves saying 

.

At least Jun kindaaa regrets what just happened when he lowers is head to leave. Dr. Kanzaki stays back, wondering if he took it to far and noting that he always seems to act like that in crucial moments.
