After Being Betrayed by My Girlfriend, I Kiss Her Little Sister - Chapter 16

Midnight Kiss (2)

“Do you…want to do it?”

It’s 10.30PM, Hina just asked me so.

What does she mean by that? Could it be what I really think it is?

Hina is looking deep into my eyes, and I’m still holding her in my arms. The atmosphere is really dangerous…if I say yes, will we really cross that line? Will I actually do that with Hina—

Why did she suddenly say something like that?

Then, I notice that Hina’s shoulders are trembling. Is she scared…?

As she closes her eyes, I struggle to find the right words to say. But Hina looks incredibly embarrassed as she sits in front of me.

“……”

Her ears are completely red.

She is the one who brought it up, so why is she the one getting embarrassed?

Moreover, that kiss just now…what was that? Why did she kiss me?

First, I needed to calm down.

“……”

Not knowing what to do, I gently pat Hina’s head.

“K-Kanata…?”

“Yeah?”

“W-We’re not…going to do it?”

“No, we’re not. You’re trembling so much, how could I? Besides, I never intended to in the first place.”

“……”

“It’s already late. Let’s just go to bed, Hina.”

“If you cross that line with me…you’ll forget everything, Kanata. All of those painful things.”

As I help Hina to sit up, she suddenly whispered something so embarrassing.

Forget all the painful things…but she doesn’t even know anything about it, does she?

Why is she looking at me like that? As if she knows everything about me. Her eyes look so sad.

“Those painful things…huh?”

“You have been completely betrayed by Umi, right Kanata? Why won’t you tell me what happened at school?”

“Y-You know?”

“Yeah.”

“Then…why didn’t you say anything?”

“Because you didn’t tell me anything either…”

Hearing so, I suddenly remember what happened at school earlier today.

I suddenly got a headache.

“…hah.”

“Kanata…”

Hina…how do you know about it?

We don’t even go to the same school. So how does she know about what happened today?

Also, how does she know that Umi has completely betrayed me?

“Kanata…I’m here. I’m always right by your side…remember my warmth and my scent…”

Hina hugs me as she says so. I can’t help but cry from the sadness.

Hina’s gentle warmth and scent are incredibly soothing…

“Hina…thank you. But how do you know about it…?”

“I know Umi’s personality better than anyone…so I figured she’d take her anger out on you. She got dumped, after all.”

“I see…”

“She probably thinks she can do anything and still be forgiven. She’s pretty popular in class, isn’t she?”

“Yeah…”

“We’re twins, after all. So, I just know.”

“I see…”

I actually want to talk more with Hina, but it’s already late…I have to go to school again tomorrow, so I decided to get ready for bed.

Then, while Hina is taking a shower, I quickly set up my own bed on the floor.

No matter what, I’m going to let Hina sleep in the bed tonight, and I’ll sleep on the floor. I’ve already decided that.

“It’s so cold! Kanata, you should take a shower too~”

“Ah, yeah.”

……

“Hah…”

The reality of having to go to school makes me sigh.

After I take a shower…I notice Hina is tidying up my bed that I’ve set up on the floor.

I’ve gone through the trouble of setting it up, so…why?

“Hina? What are you doing?”

“Why are you sleeping on the floor when you have a bed?”

“No matter what, I’m sleeping on the floor tonight!”

“Well, no matter what, I’m sleeping in the bed with you tonight!”

Why are we even raising our voices at this time of night?

“Alright, alright…seriously, you’re acting like a child, Hina.”

“I’m not a child! It’s just…no! Never mind!”

“Really~?”

When we were little, we used to sleep like this all the time, but we’re high schoolers now, right?

But there is no use arguing with Hina. She is patting the spot next to her with a sulky look on her face.

As always, she is wearing one of my oversized shirts and calling me over.

Aren’t her legs cold? I can’t even tell if she’s wearing an underwear…what’s wrong with you, seriously—

Hina, you’re a girl, so you should be more aware of these things…you idiot.

“Hmm…? Hina, you smell nice.”

“Hehe, right? I put on some sleep perfume.”

“Ah, I see. It smells really nice.”

“Want me to put some on you? It helps you relax when you sleep.”

“N-No, I’m good. Just smelling it on you is relaxing enough for me.”

“P-Pervert!”

“Eh?! W-Why?”

“Just kidding~”

“Come on…”

Its’ 12.10AM. The two of us are under the same blanket once again.

“Kanata…why are you facing the other way?”

“Ehh…because I’m nervous?”

“Look this way.”

“No.”

“If you don’t, I’ll pinch your side…”

I immediately turn to look at Hina.

“Good…! Fufufu.”

“Seriously…”

Hina’s face is right in front of mine, and she just casually smiles at me.

Then, without hesitation…she hugs me.

Why…? Why is she hugging me as if it’s the most natural thing in the world? I don’t get it. I don’t understand why is she doing this. But she’s so warm and smells so nice, I can’t bring myself to pull away from her. It’s ridiculous, but…I don’t want to let go of her.

“Hey, Kanata…are you asleep?”

“I’m not asleep yet, what’s wrong?”

“Hey.”

“Yeah?”

“If you ever feeling down because of Umi…you can always hug me like this, Kanata. I’m always okay with that.”

“N-No…that’s a bit much.”

“Does that mean hugging isn’t enough for you, Kanata? You want to do it with me?”

“That’s not what I mean! Stop saying weird stuff and just go to sleep! You have school tomorrow too, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

Thanks to Hina, who always says things I can’t predict, I can’t fall asleep right away.

Seriously, she keeps saying weird stuff. Idiot.

……

“Kanata, are you asleep?”

At 3AM, Hina wakes up and calls Kanata’s name.

Hina smiles at Kanata, who is fast asleep.

“……”

In the dimly lit room, the silence of the night makes Kanata’s quiet breathing sound even louder.

Hina slowly places her hand on Kanata’s cheek and gently kiss his lips again.

“Kanata…I love you.”
