I don't think us readers have to worry about any sort of love triangle drama with Harumin. I mean, haven't you been paying attention to her character all this time? First of all, she hates confrontation, as seen various times in the original manga. She will never acknowledge her feelings for Yuzu, which are kinda obvious and not even that subtle imo (the feelings). Secondly, she is definitely the most mature and level-headed character of this series, emotion-wise, and the last person in this series who will most likely cause any sort of drama. So the point is, If Harumi has any kind of unrequited feelings for Yuzu, like most other people in this world, she'll get over it. I don't think she would be all angsty and sad for 20 chapters. That would be OOC (in my opinion). Besides, Matsuri will be more than happy to help her get over Yuzu.
I mean none of this is inherently incompatible with the scenario of her tormenting herself internally about it and the whole mess throwing a major wrench in the gears of Matsuri trying to get into her pants (and, as you note, this is Citrus) so...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The most otherwise mature and sensible people can get staggeringly stupid and juvenile when it comes to their own emotions, nevermind now ones as infamously all-ignoring as the romantic ones. That's just how people are built pretty much. (Not that this necessarily excuses melodramatic plots milking pointless love triangles and whatnots for way too long ofc... I name no names *cough*)
In my opinion the love triangle with Yuzu is not going to happen, as in, Yuzu is never going to hear about this. But Harumin most certainly has feelings for her. The purpose of this in the story is because for it to have SOME drama but not CRAZY drama, Matsuri getting Harumin must come with an obstacle. Otherwise it would be too boring.
About whether Harumin will acknowledge her feelings or not, I think she must, if she is to then move on from it and fall in love with Matsuri instead. Basically she needs to have some moment of vulnerability or "breaking point" like the few times that Mei did, or there's no way they are gonna be together (I suppose the same can be said for Matsuri, how can Harumin date her if she behaves like a troll 24/7? lol).
