I became the boyfriend of the school's madonna, who had turned down numerous confessions, but somehow, without realizing it, I wasn't just playing a role anymore - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Backfire

“Mm…♡”

Misaki let out a soft, high-pitched sound as she closed her eyes.

Her cheeks relaxed, and she looked genuinely happy.

However—

“Ah… why on the cheek…!”

She suddenly got upset, as if she had just remembered something.

“Weren’t you just happy a second ago?”

“That’s a different matter…! This just made things worse…!”

Misaki didn’t deny that she had been happy; instead, she emphasized it was a separate issue.

In other words, she was glad, but now she was angry because her request hadn’t been fulfilled.

Actually, giving her a kiss on the cheek seemed to have only made her desire stronger.

She’s a handful.

“Would it have been better if I hadn’t kissed you on the cheek?”

“Well… I was happy that you did… but still! You knew what I meant, didn’t you…!?”

Misaki seemed conflicted but once again clarified, just like before.

I thought to myself how honest she is, as I gently patted her head.

“I know, but I’m just trying to find a compromise here.”

If school started like this, it was obvious Misaki wouldn’t leave my side for a second.

Honestly, that wouldn’t be much of a problem, but the real issue would be if she kept clinging to me like now.

If she tried asking for a kiss in the classroom or the hallway, we’d definitely be labeled as an idiot couple.

I’d rather avoid that.

“I’m not backing down…!”

Misaki, clearly determined to get her kiss, stared straight into my eyes.

I hadn’t expected her to be this stubborn.

“Are you really that insistent?”

“I am…!”

“Okay, what if I asked whether you’d prefer to kiss or lie down together in bed right now—what would you choose?”

“Huh…?”

When I suddenly changed the topic and proposed something else, Misaki’s eyes widened in surprise.

It seemed she hadn’t anticipated such a suggestion.

Even though Misaki had snuck into my bed this morning, it wasn’t like we’d usually have the chance to sleep together.

She understood that, and I could see her starting to hesitate.

“Since you came over early in the morning, and there’s no one to interrupt us, we could lie down together if you’d like?”

Whether this counted as “holding back” or not wasn’t the point.

I just wanted to see if a similarly tempting offer would sway her attention.

If it worked, it could be helpful for future situations.

—Although, making an offer equally as tempting as a kiss is the hardest part.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if the idea of lying down together was as enticing as a kiss.
