“Haa.”

I was thinking alone after Kaito kun dropped me off at home.

“Kaito kun…..”

I’m very nervous now.

I’m nervous if Kaito kun says something like that with such a serious face…….

I had no confidence in myself and had never been told something like that before, so I didn’t know what to do.

If it was Kaito kun, it didn’t look like he was lying at all……

I was so nervous when he stared straight at me like that.

“It’s embarrassing……”

Kaito kun has been telling me how cute and beautiful I am ever since we first talked.

I’ve never been told that even by Shin…..

“I hope he doesn’t think I’m weird for that……”

I think I’ve been acting weird ever since then because Kaito kun said those things to me.

I don’t even remember what I talked about with Kaito kun when he left…

“If I’m this nervous, maybe it’s…..”

I’m a little calmer now, but when Kaito kun said those things to me, I was more nervous than ever before.

I should like Shin.

If you ask me if it’s different now, I don’t think I can confidently say it.

I probably still like him.

Even so, my feelings for Kaito kun are getting stronger day by day, and I think I like him now.

If you ask me which one I like more now, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t give an answer…..that’s what I’m contemplating right now.

I’ve known Shin for many years. ….

But I think it’s fun to be with Kaito kun, and it makes me feel happy.

“I wonder if I’ll be able to talk to him properly tomorrow…..”

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t see his face properly today, am I going to be okay?

◇ 

Two days later, at night.

“Hm.”

Kaoru has been acting weird since then.

She turned her face away from me when our eyes met, and then she looked at me.

I think she’s probably conscious of me, but I don’t know.

I’d be happy if she was…….

There was one more chance.

It seems that Yamazaki and Hitomi are in contact somehow.

I saw them talking yesterday and today, so I’m sure of it.

I don’t know how well they got along, but they didn’t seem to be close yet.

However, there was no doubt that Yamazaki was really enchanted by her. Well, Hitomi is as cute as Kaoru and Kirara……

“What should I do?”

As long as Kaoru hasn’t talked to me, I think it’s a good idea for me to talk to her, but I also think it’s not a bad idea to wait until Kaoru’s feelings have calmed down.

“Well, it’s Friday, so I’ll wait until Monday.”

Maybe I’ll get a call from her.

If nothing happens, I’ll talk to her.

While I was thinking that, I heard a notification on my phone.

I went to check the content and found that it was a call from Kaoru.

‘[Kaito kun.]

[What’s wrong, Kaoru?]

[Do you have time right now?]

[I’m totally free.]

[Then is it okay if I talk to you for a minute?]

[Sure.]

[I’ll make a phone call then.]

[Okay.]

Soon after that, I received a call from Kaoru.

[Good evening, Kaito kun…….]

[Oh, evening. So what’s going on?]

[Anyway, I’m sorry for yesterday and today….. it seems like I’m ignoring you, Kaito kun…….]

Kaoru said this in a depressed voice.

[It’s okay.]

[I didn’t mean to ignore you, Kaito kun……]

[I know that, so you don’t have to worry about it. I don’t think Kaoru would ignore me.]

[I see…….I’m glad…….]

When I said that, Kaoru said in a reassuring voice.

[Is that why you called me?]

[Yeah,……I didn’t want Kaito kun to think that I was ignoring him,…..and I thought you’d be thinking about that all weekends.”

It seems like she was more worried than I imagined…

[I see. I don’t think anything of it, so don’t worry about it.]

[Yeah…..I’m glad I tried to contact you.]

[So…..why happen with you?]

I know the reason, but I dared to ask her that.

[T-that’s because ….Kaito kun said such and such a thing.]

[What do you mean by that?]

[That’s ! I mean……Kaito kun said to me with such a serious face that I was cute,……and that I was beautiful…..]

Kaoru was extremely flustered and said that.

I can kind of tell even over the phone that her face is blushing……

[I see. Sorry. But I’m gonna be honest about what I think.]

[No……. Kaito kun, please don’t apologize…..I’m happy……but I’m embarrassed because I’ve never been told I’m cute like Kaito kun told me……]

[Seriously? It’s shocking that Kaoru has never been told that…I think she’s the cutest girl in the world….]

[……]

When I said that, Kaoru went silent.

[Kaoru, are you okay?]

[Umm, yeah,……but are you serious about that……?]

[Of course I’m serious.]

[I-I see……thank you….um……that makes me happy.]

[I could go on and on.]

After a few seconds of silence, Kaoru asked fearfully.

[Kaito kun……u-um…..is there someone you like?]

[There is.]

[I-I see……]

When I said that, Kaoru said in a gloomy voice for some reason.

[Why did your voice get darker?]

[N-no……it’s nothing……]

[It doesn’t sound like nothing.]

[……Then, can I ask you who you like then?]

[Eh? It’s obviously Kaoru, isn’t it?]

I answered immediately as if it was a matter of course.

[Eh? Eh !? M-me…..!?]

[Yes, you are. 

If it weren’t you, I wouldn’t have said you were so cute, would I?]

[T……that’s……true…..]

[Right?]

Then Kaoru didn’t say anything for a while.

Since I can’t hear any sound, it’s probably on mute.

Then, Kaoru spoke up very quickly.

[A-are you sure?]

[I am.]

[I-I see…….I had no idea…..I’m sorry.]

[Well, this is the first time I’ve ever confessed to someone.]

After I said that, Kaoru took a breath.

[K-Kaito-kun…u-um…..I-I-I like Kaito kun too…probably…..”

[Eh? Seriously?]

This was unexpected.

I knew she cared about me, but I didn’t think she would even say she liked me.

To be honest, I’m absurdly happy to hear it.

[Y-yeah…but I want you to wait just a little longer…I need to make things clear…]

From the sound of it, it seems like she still likes Yamazaki…..

Well, I knew that, so there’s no problem.

[Is it about Yamazaki?]

[Y-yeah…..I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear,……]

[No, it’s okay. Take your time. I’ll wait for you.]

[T-thank you……I’ll try not to be so slow……]

[Yeah.]

[T-then, I’ll excuse myself here…]

[Good night, Kaoru.]

[G-good night, Kaito kun…….]

And so the phone call between me and Kaoru ended.

“Whew.”

I see……Kaoru was thinking about me too……

I feel very happy when I realize that.

I’ve been in touch with Kaoru almost every day on LIEN, but not yesterday, and I’ve been complimenting her on how cute she is and many other things.

Of course, I was trying to get her to fall in love with me, but I was being honest.

“I was worried because I couldn’t talk to her at school, but I’m glad I tried…..”

Well, it’s not decided yet, so I’ll have to keep working hard.

It’s not the end once you get together, it’s just the beginning.

But to be honest, I’m not that wary of Yamazaki now.

He doesn’t say anything complimentary to Kaoru, he seems to want to get along with other girls and recently with Hitomi, and his mistreatment to Kaoru hasn’t changed.

I have no confidence in losing to someone like that and I have no intention of losing.

Because I can make Kaoru happier than him……I can definitely declare this.

“Should I be aggressive tomorrow?”
