I was alone in my room thinking about it after Kei kun dropped me off at home.
“No way……I can’t stop pounding……”
I can’t get Kei kun, the one who protected me just now, out of my head.
If Kei kun wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be where I am now…I don’t want to think about that, but the situation was that bad.
“I’m glad Kei kun was there for me…….”
A girl who went to the same junior high school as me when I was in high school told me that the senior had turned into a delinquent and was always getting into fights.
I was quite worried when I heard that, so I talked to Sora about it and he said that everything will be alright. I was a little sad that he didn’t seem too worried about me, but nothing happened after that, so I had almost forgotten about it.
Even if we were to meet, to be honest, I didn’t want to meet him while I was with Kei kun.
Since we met in such a situation, I didn’t want to involve Kei kun, so I dared to pretend to be a stranger……I didn’t expect him to protect me by even saying I was his girlfriend…….
“Oh no…..my face burns when I remember.”
It’s not fair, Kei kun…..that’s too cool.
I felt my face burning and I buried my face in the pillow to calm down.
There wasn’t a millimeter of fear left in me.
The police had told me and he promised to never to go near me again, but that was because I felt nothing but pity when I saw the way the senior looked after what Kei kun had done to him.
More than that, my mind is now filled with Kei kun’s coolness.
“Haa, it was really crazy when he called me Yui.”
I never thought Kei kun was that strong.
How could he defeat that senior who was said to be a strong fighter so easily…..
I’ll be honest, my heart was pounding to the point that I was surprised when Kei kun, who had defended me at all costs, called out to me.
I was not calm enough to call Kei kun by his name.
Most of the time, I can’t. If I did that, I would be too embarrassed to have a proper conversation.
“If I need anything, I can contact him…huh…”
After hearing those words, I was too embarrassed to have a proper conversation with Kei kun until I arrived home.
I really felt that Kei kun would help me no matter what….I don’t know why I felt that way.
I can actually see the strong side of him and he’s always so kind and reassuring.
“I wonder if Sora would say something like that to me……”
I suddenly compared Sora and Kei kun, but I don’t think Sora would say that to me.
I guess he would help me if I asked him to, but Sora isn’t the kind of person who takes action on his own, so I understand that.
Generally speaking, Sora is extremely insensitive to such things and doesn’t even notice if I’m in trouble.
At the moment I thought that, something changed in me and I became aware of it.
I had thought that I would never fall in love with a boy other than Sora.
But now I definitely get more excited when I think about Kei kun than when I think about Sora……
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Kei kun.
He doesn’t take my jokes too seriously and goes along with me no matter what.
He is also very attentive to details and makes me feel at ease.
“I guess it’s true…..I’m.”
I have no choice but to admit this.
For me, the feelings I have for Kei kun are completely different from Mizuki and Akari chan…….
The exact same feelings I had for Sora.
Not like Sora, they have not built up over the years, but after today’s incident, I’m aware that they may be equal to, or even greater.
“I think I really like Kei kun.”
To be honest, I think I like him even more than Sora.
I can’t say for sure because I haven’t sorted out my feelings yet, but I think I’ve fallen in love with him that much.
“I wonder if I’ll be able to talk to him properly tomorrow…….”
Maybe it’s because I realized that I love him, but just thinking about talking to Kei kun makes me feel embarrassed.
“I think I should talk to Mizuki and Akari chan about it…….”
No, but none of the three of us have ever discussed love with each other.
Well, it’s natural since the target was the same.
If I told those two that I suddenly fell in love with Kei kun, they’d just get confused…but even now, my feelings for Sora haven’t completely disappeared.
“Yeah. Once I’ve sorted things out, I think I’ll talk to them about it when I think Kei kun is the only one I like…that way it won’t cause any unnecessary confusion.”
After a few minutes of silent contemplation, I muttered to myself.
“Haa, am I really this girly…..”
I can’t wait to meet Kei kun…..but even if I get to, I don’t feel like we can talk properly.
I have never thought like this since I was born.
“No. Not good ! I have to be firm ! Let’s talk like we always do !”
The last thing I want is for things to get weirdly tense and awkward !
Even if I were to tell him how I feel, it would probably be some time down the road, but for now I want to get to know Kei kun better and be with him.
While I was thinking that, I received a message on my phone.
[Yui, are you okay? I’m worried about you, so I contacted you just in case…….]
The message came from Kei kun, and as soon as I saw it, I knew that my heart, which I had just calmed down, was starting to beat again.
“Haha, just because Kei kun was worried about me, I’ve become like this….”
I thought, but after calming my heart, I replied to Kei kun back.
[I’m fine, thanks to you, Kei kun.]
[I see. I’m glad.]
I subconsciously typed into my phone, [If you’re close to my house, why don’t you come to school with me tomorrow?] but when I came to my senses and thought about it, I realized that it was too sudden, so I decided not to send it.
I usually go to school with Sora and Akari chan…
[Hey? Kei kun? Thank you for your continued support.]
“Hm? What’s going on? Isn’t that normal? I’ve said it before, I don’t have any friends other than Yui, so please take those as my words.]
Hmmm, is it just me or…..I get extremely excited when I hear those words, but I want Kei kun to enjoy his school life. So if I’m asked to help Kei kun make friends, I’ll do my best to help him.
[Yeah. Since I’m your first friend, even if you make other friends, don’t forget about me, okay?]
[Isn’t that obvious? I’m not that heartless.]
[I’m just kidding. I know you’re not that kind of person. You helped me today, and you will continue to help me, right?]
[Of course I intend to. Don’t hesitate to tell me.]
[I’ll be counting on you, Kei kun♪]
[I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well. I’m going to sleep now, so good night.]
[Good night.]
“Phew, it looks better than I thought it would.”
I was nervous at first, but as we were talking, I was able to joke around and although I was nervous, I was able to calm down.
If things go like this, I don’t think it will be awkward even if we meet at school.
“Okay ! I’m going to bed.”
In the end, it took me an hour to fall asleep because I was thinking about Kei kun.
