I think Hikaru definitely started liking Ken back, there's a panel where Hikaru seemed embarrassed bc of kens proximity and michan who was in ken's body seemed to realize why then concludes "if it's Ken I'm relieved " she also tells ken "I though I'd be able to monopolize after the prince had disappeared too"I think she's implying hikaru maybe liked Ken in the past as well when they were kindergarten (?) Calling ken's prince who'd always protect him from michan. I guess Mangaka focused to much onto hikaru freeting over michan that Ken's infuration seemed one sided. And in my pov hikaru knowing the meaning of the flowers kinda implied he liked Ken he also had many potted flowers and I think he mightve done it unconsciously(?) since Ken always used to gave him flowers in the past
