Chapter 18 – Confession
“Almost there.”
It was 1:30. The meeting time was 2 pm, so there were still 30 minutes to spare.
As I was thinking about such things and arrived at a spot where I could see the meeting place, it seemed Kaoru had already arrived.
“I should have come earlier…”
Thinking about this, I looked at Kaoru, and she seemed very motivated, unlike usual.
Of course, she’s usually very cute, but today she looked even cuter…
I don’t know if I can call it proof, but there were many people walking by, stopping in their tracks, and taking double looks, all mesmerized by Kaoru.
Well, it’s only natural… If she’s that cute, everyone, especially guys, would do that.
Thinking about this, I approached Kaoru, and when she noticed me, she waved and came running over to me.
“Kaito-kun!”
“Ah, hey. Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
When I said that, Kaoru replied with a smile.
“It’s okay, Kaito-kun! I just got here too. And we’re both 30 minutes earlier than the meeting time.”
“Yeah, thanks. You’re always so cute, but today you’re even cuter than usual.”
When I said that, Kaoru blushed, looked away, and said shyly.
“R-really…?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you notice all the people staring at you? That’s because you’re so cute, Kaoru.”
“…T-thank you… B-but I-I don’t really care if anyone else thinks so. I only care about what you think, Kaito-kun…”
I thought it was really cute that Kaoru said something like that shyly.
Though for a brief moment, I wondered if that included people like Yamazaki, I quickly dismissed the thought from my mind.
“I see. In that case, I’ll have to work hard so that Kaoru thinks I’m cool.”
When I said that jokingly, Kaoru was quiet for a bit, then her face was redder than before, and she spoke in a small voice.
“I-I-I think Kaito-kun is really cool…”
“I see. That makes me really happy. Thank you.”
“Y-yeah…”
“Then let’s go to the cinema.”
I said with a smile and held out my hand to Kaoru.
Kaoru was timid in response, but then slowly took my hand.
Kaoru’s face was still bright red as she held my hand.
Even though we’ve slept together once, is she still embarrassed about holding hands in public?
“Well, shall we go then?”
“Yeah…”
Like that, Kaoru and I headed to the movie theater holding hands.
◇
——When we got to the movie theater, Kaoru and I chose our seats together.
“Which seat should we take? Should we go for the back?”
“Yeah, I think I’d prefer the back.”
“Then let’s sit in the back.”
“Yeah, uh, how about here?”
When I said that, Kaoru pointed to it and said that.
“Are you sure?”
When I said that, Kaoru glanced at me, then looked away and silently nodded.
The reason I asked was because she’d pointed to a couple’s seat.
To be honest, I was going to suggest that we get the couple’s seat, but I didn’t expect Kaoru to say it before me…
I was really surprised, but also very happy.
“Then let’s go with that.”
“Yeah…”
Kaoru was acting a bit different today. Until recently, she would often meet my gaze when we talked, but today she kept looking away.
Well. This is the first proper date between us, so maybe that’s why?
Thinking that, I bought some drinks and popcorn together with Kaoru and headed to the theater.
◇
“This is our seat.”
“Y-yeah, that’s right.”
We sat down, but maybe because we were closer than I expected, Kaoru was quiet.
There was still a little bit of time before the movie started, so I wanted to ease her tension and decided to talk to her.
“Now that I think about it, does Kaoru come to see movies a lot?”
“Eh? Uh, no, not really.”
“So, was this movie something you’ve been wanting to see for a while?”
“Yeah. I actually read the original novel a long time ago and really liked it, so I’ve been curious about it.”
When I asked her that, Kaoru replied happily.
“I see. So that’s why you wanted to come.”
“Yeah. But I was a little worried about coming alone, so I’m glad you came with me, Kaito-kun.”
At this point, I started to wonder, why not Yamazaki? But I quickly dismissed the thought. Knowing him, he wouldn’t be interested in a romance movie and would definitely turn it down.
“I see. Thanks for inviting me. I’m glad I came with Kaoru, too.”
“Yeah! Thanks for coming, Kaito-kun!”
Kaoru spoke in a relaxed tone, unlike before, so it seemed like she was less nervous.
“It’s about to start.”
“Yeah.”
Then, the movie started.
◇
“It was fun, wasn’t it, Kaito-kun!”
“Yeah. It was definitely pretty fun.”
“Yeah! Kaito-kun was watching it so seriously~”
After we left the theater, Kaoru said this with a smile as we walked together.
“Well, it was more fun than I expected. But honestly, Kaoru, you were the one completely immersed in it.”
“Fufu, maybe that’s true.”
To be honest, I was wondering if we could have a kissing situation while watching the movie, but Kaoru was watching it so intently that I forgot about that thought and concentrated on the movie.
I thought it would be okay to hold hands at least at some point, but I didn’t want to disturb Kaoru who was so intently enjoying herself.
“That’s right. Do you still have the novel this movie is based on, Kaoru?”
“Of course I do! In fact, I just re-read it a week ago.”
“Wow. So even if you already know the story, it’s still enjoyable?”
“Definitely! Of course, it depends on the person, but I can enjoy it either way! Plus, novels and movies each have their own charm!”
“That’s interesting… In that case, would you mind lending me the novel sometime? I’m a bit curious about it now.”
“Eh?! You want to read it, Kaito-kun?! Of course, I’ll bring it next time!!!”
When I said that, Kaoru looked really happy.
Well, Kaoru likes reading, so she must have been really happy when I said I wanted to read the novel.
By the way, I didn’t say I wanted to read it because I wanted to make Kaoru happy. I said it because I was actually interested in it.
But, well, if it made Kaoru happy, then all the better.
“Thanks, Kaoru.”
“Yeah!”
——Afterwards, we sat on a bench outside and talked.
“What are we going to do after this, Kaoru?”
“Well, Kaito-kun…”
After I asked that, Kaoru said this in a serious tone.
“What’s wrong?”
“You see… I’ve been thinking about a lot of things…”
“About what?”
“Well, I mean… about Kaito-kun telling me that he likes me…”
“Is that so…”
“Yeah… So I told you I couldn’t give you an answer yet, right?”
Hmm, maybe she feels sorry about that?
Given Kaoru’s personality, that’s totally possible… I’d be fine with her taking her time to decide without worrying about it.
That’s what I thought, so I decided to tell her straight.
“I did say that, but if you’re worried about it and feel bad, then don’t. I’ll keep waiting for you, so take your time, okay?”
“No, that’s not it… I mean, I did feel bad about it, but that’s not why I wanted to talk now…”
Kaoru stopped and looked very nervous.
“Yes.”
“It’s just… I’ve finally come up with an answer. Can I tell you now?”
“Okay.”
I said with a serious face.
“I… I mean, um… I want to be with you, Kaito-kun. I realized yesterday that I only love you. I want to stay with you forever!”
Kaoru’s embarrassed expression suddenly changed and she said that in a flash.
The other day she told me that she still couldn’t give me an answer, so I was excited to hear such unexpected words from her.
I was a little curious about what had happened in the past few days, but I was so happy that I didn’t ask.
“Kaoru… Really?”
“Yeah. Really… Here’s proof…”
As I looked at her, still processing what she had just said, Kaoru leaned in and kissed me.

T/N: BROOO! Kaoru’s going in! She’s turning into an indecent woman~! Holding hands before, now kissing!
