26 – What’s Next?

“Really? That’s great.”

The morning of the school vacation.

I explained everything to Jia, whom I met in the hallway, and she congratulated me as if it were someone else’s. If not the person in question, he should have been a witness, but it was a blurry reaction.

Jia snorted her snort.

“Now is the chance to climb the adult ladder.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t go up until I grow up.”

“I keep thinking, ‘Am I an unattractive woman?’ There will come an episode where you slap them while doing it.”

“He speaks very concretely.”

She should have known well that she was attracted to him. To be precise, she is close to what she has been pampering herself for.

At that point, Jia’s observation was right. Because Jia read the other side of Ina that I hadn’t noticed at all.

“Thank you.”

Jia glances at me with shrimp eyes as she puts her sudden words into her mouth.

“What?”

“For letting me know what you think about Inna.”

Even after receiving her hints from Jia, she failed to connect Inna to her inner thoughts. However, she was a great help in understanding one person, Naina.

Jia shrugged her shoulders.

“You said thank you last time.”

“But what can I say? Now that the job is done, she wants to properly thank her. I don’t think she would have gotten this far without you.”

“Without me… …. Well, maybe not.”

Jia said it as if she were reliving my words, and turned her head away with excitement.

“Because you are not good at reading people’s minds.”

“You read people’s minds too well.”

“I’ll admit that.”

Is that all she is? He is quick-witted, so he reads the situation well. Jia knows how to look at everything she does from an objective point of view. It was just embarrassing for me.

“In other words, it’s like Miyeon’s same-s*x friend position.”

“What position is that again?”

“The role of a friend who assists the protagonist and helps build a relationship with the heroine.”

Is that so?

“Well, I realized this time though. There are things I can’t read.”

“What is that?”

I asked without much thought, but Jia stopped her steps.

Turning around, Jia was looking out the window and had her eyes downcast.

“My heart.”

It’s a rather low voice.

“…… Hmm.”

“Well, there is a saying that Joong can’t cut my hair. That’s it. Because there are things that can only be seen through the eyes of a third person.”

“Is that so?”

Things about oneself are subjective. It wouldn’t be surprising if you can’t look at yourself as objectively as you do.

But Jia, who answered like that, seemed to give off a different atmosphere.

As I can’t read people’s minds, there was no way I could understand it.

&

The vacation ceremony passed smoothly. It was very smooth and blank. I think the principal said something, but she can’t quite remember it. Because she didn’t even listen in the first place.

After the vacation ceremony, everyone heads home in a hurry. I left the classroom with my bag on my back.

However, the destination was not home.

A bit far from the school. A place that is close but secretly where students would not come and go.

There, the person I had promised to who had left the classroom first was waiting for me.

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

“Then, shall we go?”

Ina looked around to make sure there were no students, and then stepped off. I decided to follow Ina from some distance.

We decided to hide our relationship first. She said it didn’t matter, but she insisted that she would definitely claim her, but she’d better hide it until she’s settled down. But what about ownership?

“Whoops.”

Ina smiles and moves her light steps. She also hums. She laughed as it looked like a dog wagging her tail on a walk.

“You look happy.”

“Yes!”

“Why are you happy?”

“Um~ Why do you think?”

“I asked you.”

“No. This is my quiz.”

“What quiz again… ….”

Laughing, Ina turned her head and pointed at her lips.

“It’s been more than a month since the last quiz, so this time, if you get it right, a kiss…… Should I?”

“Ugh.”

The word kiss brings back memories of that time. Ina lifted her tiptoe and grabbed my chest while holding her lips…….

Just thinking about it makes her face feel hot.

And I’m not the only one who felt that way, I was also bowing her head while saying ehehehe.

“Come to think of it, did you keep your promise to go on another date?”

“Rather than a promise, it was just something you were trying to make fun of, right?”

At least I never agreed.

“Okay. Isn’t there a possibility that you could have looked ahead and said this?”

“Then I think it would be rather scary.”

“Ahahahaha.”

Hmm, how to say. Even though the conversation is not much different from usual, I feel uncomfortable.

There were times when Ina, who had lost her sense of distance, would quickly close the distance, and I was taken aback. It was hard to close the distance even though it was possible to be a little closer now.

In short, that, what, what, what, it becomes a relationship of lovers…… I was somehow more concerned.

Besides, she is not an ordinary girl. She has a good looks that everyone will appreciate, and she is the kind of person everyone wants to be friends with.

That kind of Ina is now my girlfriend…….

She moves her feet, calming her heart that suddenly started jumping, Ina says softly.

“Over there.”

“Why?”

“What will happen next?”

Ask all sorts of strange questions.

But it was never a playful tone.

“I mean. I am a little worried.”

“What are you worried about?”

“Worries that you might not like me.”

“Already?”

“I must be a more troublesome woman than you think.”

“I still think it’s annoying enough.”

“It will bother you a lot more than that.”

She spreads her arms wide and even emphasizes them.

“How much trouble will that be?”

“If you talk to other girls, you might get angry.”

Well, let’s keep the fact that I talked to Jia this morning a secret.

“If you don’t do what you want, you might get angry.”

“Is that so?”

“I will laugh when happy things happen, and cry when sad things happen.”

“That’s fine.”

“…… I will do anything I want in front of you.”

“I will be prepared.”

She said she didn’t know her mind or her feelings. But it feels different to me, it makes me feel good, and it makes me want to play pranks, she said.

So I can.

I will accept Ina even if it annoys me.

If Ina can regain herself, anything will happen.

Then I should be honest with my heart first.

“Over there.”

“Huh?”

Ina turned to me with a worried face.

Looking straight at her face, I strode towards Ina.

I grabbed Ina’s hand.

Ina’s hand trembled, so she gently grabbed my hand.

My fingers and Ina’s slender fingers cross.

I held Ina’s soft hand tightly.

“Let’s go.”

When I told her with a grin, Ina also raised the corners of her mouth.

“What is it? Did you want to hold my hand like that?”

“Yes.”

Ina blinked her eyes a couple of times and then her cheeks blushed.

Her face was so cute that I will never forget it.
