I tried to confess my feelings to the girl I like, but I got too excited and ended up proposing. Was her response OK?! ~ - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Oh, how embarrassing~!!!

I proposed! To Wakai-san!!!

Why did I propose?! Even if I was nervous, it’s just ridiculous!

Ah, Wakai-san must have been totally put off.

Marriage… not happening.

Today, I proposed to the person I’ve been crushing on for two years.

Not a confession, but a proposal.

And now, I’m burying my face in my pillow, overwhelmed with regret and embarrassment.

This is bad. The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I become. I’m sinking deeper into the abyss.

Let’s stop thinking about it, clear my mind, clear my mind.

Let’s do something else, what should I do?

Oh, by the way, I ignored the embarrassment earlier, but my parents invited me for dinner.

Let’s just eat~

If I don’t distract myself with something else, I’ll keep remembering.

Oh, I should at least contact Ryota, he helped me gather the courage after all.

Although I might have overdone it.

So, after sending a message to Ryota and calming down a bit, I headed to the living room.

“Sorry, Mom, got caught up doing something else.”

“It’s okay~. Whatever it is must be more important than my cooking.”

“No, that’s why I said sorry. I won’t do it again next time.”

“Hey, don’t bully Sora too much, Mom. He’s troubled, you know? Besides, he might have been contacting his girlfriend or something.”

“That’s not it, Dad. And Mom, please stop making wild assumptions. If you go too far, I won’t be able to stop you.”

“Oh! Is that so, Sora?! Oh, just tell me if you have a girlfriend!”

Saying so, Mom pats my back.

“I told you it’s not like that. And stop patting my back, it hurts.”

“No need to hide~. Anyway, I’ll dish up your food, Sora.”

Sigh, Mom misunderstood me again.

My parents are a bit too intrusive. Frankly, it’s annoying.

They might be good parents in society’s eyes, but from my perspective, it’s a real hassle.

Before they bother me any further, let’s quickly finish eating and return to my room.

~Thirty minutes later~

“Thanks for the meal. I’ll take a shower and go to bed now. Goodnight to both of you.”

“Alright. Goodnight.”

After finishing my shower and returning to my room, Ryota’s reply came at just the right time.

“I want to hear about it and play games, let’s call~. I’m ready now, how about you, Sora?”

“I’m ready too.”

I replied, and within five seconds, Ryota called me.

“Hello?”

“Hey, let’s play some games for now. What do you wanna do?”

“Let’s play Splatoon.”

“Okay.”

And so, we started playing the game.

“Darn it! I lost. I almost made it to the next rank.”

“Well, tough luck. Wasn’t the opponent too strong? I couldn’t beat them once.”

“Yeah, right? I had no chance against them. So, Sora, shall we hear your story now?”

Here it comes.

What should I do, hide the proposal?

No, I can’t lie after he helped me gather the courage to confess.

Let’s tell him everything truthfully.

“Um, I, Sora Tenshin, proposed to Wakai-san, not just confessed.”

“Huh?”

“I heard you! But what the heck do you mean?!”

I see, no reaction? Maybe the internet connection was bad, and he didn’t hear?

I’ll say it again.

“This time, I… proposed!”

“…?”

Oh, no reaction again? Maybe he didn’t hear me properly?

“I proposed to Wakai-san!”

“…”

Hmm, no response? Maybe the network is bad?

Well, this is a predictable reaction.

“Frankly, I don’t get it.”

“And Wakai-san’s response?”

“Oh, she said she’ll give an answer tomorrow morning. Probably because it’s the first time she’s been proposed to, she’s thinking about how to turn it down.”

“Oh, that’s harsh. Still, I can’t understand why you proposed in the first place. Explain everything from the beginning!”

Upon hearing that, I recounted everything that happened behind the gym after school.

“Haha! What’s with ‘I want to marry you!!,’ You’re insane!”

“Cut it out! I’m feeling regret and embarrassment to the max! Don’t hurt my feelings any more!”

“Well, that’s so like you, Sora. Sometimes you do such out-of-the-blue things. Let’s think more positively! Getting rejected after confessing is as bad as getting rejected after proposing, but if she actually says yes, you guys will be married, right?”

“That’s because the chance of her saying yes is close to zero… I’m done. I want to disappear into a hole…”

That’s right, there’s no chance she’d say yes.

My classmates and I are just ordinary high school students, and proposing to someone like that is just absurd.

“Well, don’t get too down! Anyway, Waka’i-san is like a high-class flower, so it’s no wonder if she rejects you.

Well, I’m sleepy, so I’m going to bed now. You should too. Goodnight.”

With that, Ryota hung up.

Geez, he just says whatever he wants and hangs up on me.

Well, whatever.

Ugh, tomorrow feels bleak.

As I think about it, I fall into a deep sleep.
