Yesterday, my agony calmed down when I kissed Iori, but today I am in agony for a different reason.
Itās because I remembered the kiss with Korori before I went to bed. Iāve been so excited that I havenāt been able to sleep all night.
Well, thatās not the only reason why I couldnāt sleep.
Saying things like [Bear with this for today,]. I feel like Iām going to explode just thinking about it.
Just talking to Iori makes me feel strangely nervous. I get excited. I wonder what a grown up man would do at times like this.
Itās not that I only saw Iori that way, but I kinda see her that way.
I wonder if this state is called emotionally unstable.
I want to stabilize quickly for Ioriās sake.
āIori, can I come to your place today?ā
āSure, but ā¦ā¦ all of a sudden?ā
āHonestlyā¦..ā
I told Iori that Aika was coming to my house. The first reason is that [I want to flirt with Iori.] but since it happened yesterday, I felt like I was getting ahead of myself, so I used Aikaās arrival as a pretext.
āHey, Naruā¦ā¦if thatās the reason, wouldnāt it be better if you stay?ā
A surprising answer came from Iori.
āI think Aika still likes Naru.ā
āEh?ā
Iori had said the same thing before.
But it was Aika who first broke up with me because she found another man she liked.
āWell, since sheās coming to visit Rin chan, I doubt that itās going to be that kind of storyā¦..but isnāt that why she didnāt tell you, Naru ,her ex-boyfriend that she was coming?ā
Itās only applied to Rinā¦or so I thought, but she also had a different attitude towards meā¦maybe not.
āIf Aika san wasnāt your childhood friend, if she wasnāt Rin chanās best friend, I might have said noā¦..but itās better to make it clear, Naru.ā
There are certainly things that are bothering me.
When Iori first came to the classroom.
Her profound request.
The night after my date.
But I tried not to think much about Aika.
āIori, about Aika, Iām no longerā¦.ā
āOf course, because youāre my boyfriend.ā
āIoriā¦.ā
āI believe you.ā
I was so nervous. And then she continued to whisper in my ear.
āI want to continued itā¦ā¦so come home properly.ā
I felt as if my mind was suddenly cleared.
The frustration I was feeling was gone.
Whether there is something going on or not, Itās certain that I felt uncomfortable.
