I feel that was a really good way to handle the translation! I always confuse honmei and giri chocolate, and what you chose sounded much more natural while still preserving the core meaning of the sentence.
Was going to say the same - that's a /really/ good way to handle it in this context, it should probably be used more often when the author is aiming for a touch of ambiguity. The way Japanese handles "love" seems to be far more nuanced than English the language can handle readily, as well as Anglo cultures more broadly - you need this kind of thing to convey more of the subtleties, where it's even possible.

They just dont know they're already dating. Thats it.
Tho the fact Yuki got surprised with Haruka reaction makes clear the past sudden confession didnt got through, sadly.
I dont think this kind of setting would be less interesting if they were dating, so idk why the forceful procrastination took place.
