Realized and Demolished

When we got back at my aunt's house, the two of them just barged in and even scramble their shoes.

I sighed and never understand what girls are thinking. But, that is hell of stamina waste...

They pulled me without telling me anything and they forced me to run until we got here. I am impressed that the two of them still got strength left.

"You two, what about the dinner?"
"Kou-kun!" Meira grabbed my hands and makes my heart racing.
"W-what...?"
"For the small wish, I want to sleep at your room."
"Huh!?"
"Me too." Ran barged into the conversation quickly.
"Not you too!"

It is not really a big problem except, where will I sleep tonight?

"Okay, I will take a pillow and sleep on the sofa-"

*gyut*

My shirt is being pulled off by four hands, I know that it's thoose two.

"Kou-kun, you also sleep at the room!"
"Yes, living room, right?"
"No, the bedroom, Kouta-senpai.""Did you two get a fever?"

The two of them just shook their head. I am dead! Why are they insisted me!?

"For the small wish, I think that you two already asked for the same thing, so... I will take my leave!"

I ran to the outside and left them. With my speed, the two of them won't reach me. I would die though if Meira grabbed me before I could run.

For the food? Make them yourself! I have a feeling that it will be a nightmare if I do stay there longer.

I went to a convenience store to buy some snacks, since I left with empty stomach.

"Let me go!"

I turned my head and saw someone familiar being bullied by some delinquents. That girl is really irritating me. She is the one that bullied Meira back then.

I feel so irritated that I won't care for such a girl! Or so I thought...

I run to her and grab her hand.

"Long time no see, Magatsuki-san."
"That white hair..."
"For now, let's go!"

I pulled her out and ran away.

For the best place to hide, I brought her to the park where I usually play with Meira back then.

"Why are you..."
"I don't know either... I want to abandon you, but you looked just like Gin."
"Who's this Gin?"
"A puppy that I adopted several days ago."

She giggled. That is the first time I see her face really enjoying something good.

"Igashiro Kouta, right?"
"As usual, they predict with face and my hair."
"You bet!"

Even without hestitation, she answered. It irritates me even more. Till now, I never had a chance to talk with her. Maybe this is a fated reunion? No, that can't be.

"Igashiro, te... you are still in love with that girl, right?"
"Wha!"
"No need to hide it, I know it from the beginning."

She crossed her arms and used it as pillow on the bridge's fence.

"The reason I bullied her."
"Huh?"
"You wanted to ask that, right?"
"M-maybe..."
"It's because... I am jealous."

At that moment, I feel like the time has stopped. Jealous? What? What happened back then? Did she have a grudge or something?

"What do you mean by jealous?"
"You are dumb, aren't you?"
"What does that mean!?"

I began to feel more irritated. My ears already heated up from the beginning. Maybe I should just ignore her back then.

"It is because I liked you since in the kindergarten."

That words freeze my rage. Her tears started to flow out. She, Magatsuki Kakushi, really did feel like that towards me. But she knows that she doesn't have any chance.

"I'm sorry..." I rejected her. It is an of course from the beginning.

Even though it's like that... she cried and... smiled...

"Then, I'll be going home first."

She waved at me and then run away. She confessed to me even though she knows that I will reject her. She's brave. Compared to me, I am just a coward.

Using the term ‘friends’, is just a cover for my feelings. When will I confess to Meira? It is still unknown. But I learned something from Magatsuki-san, that to do it before it's too late.

Doing this monologues, I realized that she's gone from my sight.

I walked back to the house with blank feelings. It is really blank that I would never understand myself. But... I understand it too late when I arrived at the house.

I was intercepted, kidnapped, again! But this time, I lost my consciousness completely! But I am sure that Meira, Ran, even Riku intercepted me.

Since that time, I almost never give any care to what happened that day.
