Chapter 405: Option 2

Introduction part two. Well, that’s us redoing that time when she introduced me as her boyfriend. If she chose that, what we would tell them was the real events that lead to our relationship.

However, there would be a whole lot of complications by doing that exactly.

Apart from Ogawa and Tadano who would most likely be against it, Izumi-senpai and Arisa-senpai would react differently.

I had just that situation with Arisa-senpai earlier.

If they found out that what we did back then was just an act and that Nami was actually Ogawa’s girlfriend… I could imagine that they would look at Nami as a cheater.

Falling in love when it was supposed to be just an act?

They would think that Nami betrayed Ogawa.

As for me, I would possibly be hated by the two.

Especially now that Arisa-senpai still hadn’t heard my story and Izumi-senpai tried to discourage me from going after her best friend.

That’s why, instead of picking that first option, Nami picked the other one… talking to Ogawa.

“He might be waiting for me near our house. If he is there, I will talk to him and…” Nami put a hand on my cheeks again before pulling me in for a kiss. “… let him understand that I’m yours and not his ever since that day…”

“Will you be fine alone?”

“Un. Don’t worry. I know how he thinks. I’ve been observing him even after you made me fall for you… I can somehow understand what’s on his mind. Before, I was scared to truly tell him that we were already over. That’s what happened back during the Basketball Club’s practice game. Kazuo showing up was something I hadn’t anticipated. For him to see us together… I got scared that he would confront me but in the end… he didn’t. Furthermore, you shielded me from him.”

That time, huh? That’s the time I confused the hell out of him. Truthfully, he was already about to confront her. He’s silent and his gaze was only trained on her. The way he looked at her back was as if he’s waiting for the sinner to confess before he sent down punishment.

If I didn’t get in between them, it’s not wrong to say that Nami would be frightened by him. As for whether she would tell her the truth or not, that’s something only Nami could answer.

Nonetheless, that was already in the past.

This time… after telling him the real deal resulting in the destruction of his fantasy, Nami could now stand before him as my Nami. The scary girl from before would show up again.

Ah, I also did well in clearing her mind from blaming herself. That’s why I knew she would be fine

“You’re my girl. It’s natural that I will be shielding you against him.” I smiled and copied what she did. Putting my hand on her cheek, I pulled her into another kiss. “And before sending you to the bus station, let me improve your mood and let me sweep him away from your mind. I might not be able to come with you but… I’ll be leaving my mark to make it feel like I was there with you.”

Instead of letting her be completely depressed by what she did of telling Ogawa the truth, sweeping that away with a memory of us was the solution I came up with.

And Nami, who was aware of my intention, welcomed it. Even without talking about troublesome details on who to blame and what to do next, we already communicated about that… wordlessly.

Our compatibility was that high after all. Both of us are an observer, reading each other’s intention was something we could do. Well, if someone would ask me to explain it in detail, I wouldn’t be able to.

I guess that’s the wonder of having high observation skills.

What’s clear between us was that… there’s no point mulling over things that already happened.

Before answering, Nami giggled lovingly as she returned my kiss and pulled me down with her by circling her arms to my back. “Your mark, huh? Un. I like to have that on me… Besides, even if you don’t have a prior appointment with Mirae… I won’t ask you to come with me. It’s time for me to face him with a clear mind.”

“Un. I guess there’s no need for me to tell you to call me when something happens. I trust my Nami will be fine… However…”

Before I could finish it, her finger blocked my lips.

“... You’re still going to call, you worrywart.” Nami completed my words with a smile. And just like that, she pulled me down for us to continue what we’re doing

And in between the exchanges of our passion for each other, she whispered. “I will be waiting for your call.”

After that, the room went silent except for the sound of our rustling clothes and heavy breaths that we would produce after a prolonged connection of our lips and tongue.

And a few minutes after that, Nami sweet moans that were devoid of any worries or guilt from earlier filled the room.

It’s not the time for ‘that’ yet. Furthermore, she’s still on that monthly thing for them so… I made use of my hand to pleasure her and clear her mind of anything negative that she would think about.

This might appear like we’re escaping the problem by doing this… however, this was just our way to deepen our bond after the knot that was unconsciously restricting us became untied.

Without the pestering problem of Ogawa in her mind, Nami could be said to be partly liberated now and it would be complete after that talk.

For the next ten minutes, the room became our impregnable castle. Ignoring what’s happening outside and only living in our moment.

By the time we returned to the Student Support Club to pick up Hina, Saki and the others with them already left.

As for why they didn’t wait for Nami or why they left Hina behind, I could only guess.

Upon seeing us entering, Hina lowered her head before stepping forward in front of Nami and looked her in the eye. “Let me talk to Kazuo too.”

Her gaze was unyielding that she only took it back after Nami accepted and agreed to what she said.

Following that, Hina then stepped away from Nami and in front of me. “Ruki… About us…”

Because she couldn’t finish her words, I put my hand on her head and smiled. “Take your time to think about everything. I’m not rushing you and you shouldn’t rush yourself as well. Talk to him and… confirm your feelings. I am a greedy man. Perhaps I might also bring more pain to you so it’s onto you to choose well.”

Despite Nami being with us and my feelings for this girl… I really wanted her to clear up the conflicted feelings she had.

She’s already aware of my feelings for her after all. And she’s aware of a lot of things about me. Compared to Arisa-senpai and Izumi-senpai who I was targeting without knowing what I am or what’s pushing me forward, Hina already had enough information to know what kind of relationship she would have with me if she chose me over Ogawa.

That’s why there’s actually no use even if I push her to be mine. She’s the only one who could decide on what path she would tread on now.
