After a Heartbreak, My Bitter Childhood Friend is now Sweet Like Sugar - Chapter 1.7

Chapter 1.7

While remembering our conversation on the balcony, I began to regret what I just did.

I was trying to act cool, even though I’d promised myself not to act so pretentious.

“You took care of me yesterday and I’m feeling better. It’s all because of you that I’m not rotting in my bed, Kokoa. I really appreciate it.”

When I tried to cheer him up, his answer was too honest for me to handle

No, that’s not it, I knew. Yū may be dumb, but he’s still honest and polite.

After expressing his gratitude he gives a kind and straightforward thank you, which is unthinkable from his usual attitude. He’s not like the usual Yū, but he’s Yū.

I know that because I’m familiar with him.

“Mou~. What am I doing?”

I’m sure he won’t care about my rude behaviour. Umm… but this feeling of self defeat.

I should have kept control over my words and been careful not to reveal my true feelings.

I’m my worst enemy. “Be cool and disciplined, for the sake of love, maiden.”

What the hell am I saying…

 I faced a lot of setbacks today. 

During the lunch break, I was going to ignore him, but I unconsciously went to his classroom. After coming that far, I decided to check on him and quickly return home, but I happened to run into him and had to flee.

After school, I met with his bad classmate.

What’s more, Yū teased me by suggesting that I might have a crush on his friend.

Just thinking about it now makes me puke, and I’m feeling even worse for reacting to his words.

“Uu~~”

I curled up and hugged my pillow. I rolled around on the bed in agony.

I’m really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really angry. It’s embarrassing… I sulked even more.

Oh God, what a mess. I’m sure my face is as red as an apple right now.

“He must be feeling better by now… I’m glad he’s not depressed anymore.”

After hearing the sound next door, I went to see how he was doing. The breeze was so pleasant that it made me remember the good times we had spent there.

He was recalling the memories of his forgotten love probably. He must be depressed. 

I don’t want him to be sad… I cheered him up.

“Well, if he was feeling better, then it’s fine.”

“Kokoa, It’s all because of you that I’m feeling so much better…”

Once again I recalled his words that made my heart flutter.

I couldn’t hold my smile back.

I could feel the love overflowing within my heart.

I picked up my smartphone from the table, and looked at the pictures I took today… Hmm, Ice Cream Roll. I love ice cream. But this evening it was the best I had.

I’ve always loved ice cream because it’s cold, but sweet and gently melts it into the mouth, and the way it melts is heavenly.

“You’re going to share it on Insta? Girls really like these stuffs, don’t they?”

“Nope. I’m just taking a picture. It’s not what you think.”

There is no deep meaning.

I just wanted to take a picture of the ice cream that Yū bought for me. That’s all I want.

I kissed the picture of the ice cream.

I couldn’t help but feel my cheeks relax.

“What am I doing?”

After that, I was deeply disappointed with my action. I definitely don’t want anyone to see this scene.

 It’s too gross. No it’s disgusting.

“Well that aside. It seems that he’s still eating unhealthy food even though I scold him yesterday.”

It’s important to have a proper diet, he’ll get sick again if he keeps eating like he does. I’m not sure if I’m meddling, but I have to keep him in check.

Speaking of which…

It’s still there… in the depth of my drawer. I had prepared it in the hope that I would have the opportunity to use it. 

Now that I think about it I didn’t use it once.

But I think this is the right time. It would be a shame to never use it, and now I have the chance, so I should just use it.

I turned off the light and thought about the ways to use that thing.
