The time when I forcibly slept with my friend's sister!

“I am fine now, Yui….please calm down…” It was the third time I had told her to sit down and not panic like this, yet…

“How can I calm down, Senpai?! Even though he knew that you already were injured, Nii-san had to be such a brute.” While applying an ice pack around my cheekbone, Yui complained in a fuming tone, making Ichi huff in his seat across from us.

As I expected, after hearing my confession and also giving a green flag to my relationship with Yui, Ichi wasn’t able to hold back from punching me.

Truth be told, I deserved that and such, I had no complaints about his violent reaction, at all. But for Yui…

“He shouldn’t have agreed to date you if he didn’t have the courage to face a hit or two from me,” Ichinose said with another huff his arms now crossed over his chest.

He looked a little childish in my opinion. But not like I was going to get myself punched again by telling him that.

“That doesn’t giv-ah!” I pulled Yui by her waist before she could have made her way toward her brother and scolded him.

Her yelp sounded adorable as I placed her between my legs with her back attached to my front, leaving her speechless.

*Stare*

Well, of course, Ryuuta was glaring at us…or to be precise, at me even though I used to be this casual with Yui even before we started dating.

I smiled at him ignorantly before relaying my thoughts, “Thanks for accepting our relationship, Ichi. Truth be told, it was your and Mom’s acceptance that actually mattered for both of us and now you both know that I am dating Yui. So yeah, thank you.”

Ichinose wasn’t able to refute my words despite his slight bitterness that he couldn’t get enough time to show his overprotective brotherly side.

Regardless, now everything was settled. Yui and I were finally in an official relationship and I no longer needed to live under the burden of guilt.

She loves me and I love her, that’s what all matters now…

‘…but I didn’t have confessed my feelings for her yet…’ Met by a sudden realization, I couldn’t help glancing at Yui’s soft features while already thinking about what would be the best way to convey my feelings for her.

[Third Person POV:]

It was around seven in the evening when Mizuki returned from the hospital. She left her workplace the very moment her last surgery was finished.

Since there was a medical camp going on there were only two surgeons in the whole hospital which made it impossible for her to reject all the calls. Thankfully there were Ichinose and Yui, to take care of her son or Mizuki surely wouldn’t have thought about her duty before her child.

“You take rest Aunty and let me take care of the dinner tonight.” Ichinose insisted since Mizuki had just returned from work and didn’t have much talk with Riku at all.

“But Ichi-kun yo-”

“No, buts. Just relax and let me handle everything. Trust my cooking skill a little, alright?” While tying an apron around his waist, Ichinose reassured.

Mizuki knew that Ichinose was a great cook. He even taught her some of the dishes with variations so didn’t resist his kind offer.

“Your future wives are surely blessed.” Ichinose paused in his tracks hearing the giggling lady who soon took her leave.

‘Wives she says…’ Smiling wryly to himself, Ichinose began preparing the curry for dinner.

It is very common these days for men to have polygamous maternal life and it was nothing to be ashamed about. Even if a man doesn’t have any proper job or doesn’t have any credentials or any sort, until they can cook and look good for their partners, man would be surrounded by a lot of suitors.

Ichinose had heard from many, including Yui and Riku that he surely would have more than one wife in the future, but he didn’t pay any mind to it. He believed in true love, that mustn’t be shared between people.

In between his thoughts, he heard a familiar voice advancing toward the kitchen, “H-Hello Ichinose-kun.”

“Hmmm, Miho-san?”

Holding his knife which was about to slice the potato into two, he saw the brown-haired girl walking toward him with a hesitant expression.

Her caramel eyes were stealing glances at him with a tinge of redness flushing her fluffy cheeks. Her long hair was cascading down her shoulder, glistening under the warm light of the kitchen.

“Mom made this fruit ice cream for Riku-kun so…” Holding the white box in front of her chest, she spoke in a slightly hastened tone.

“Can you put it in the fridge for me?”

“Oh, yes. Sure.” Miho panicked slightly before she paced toward the right corner of the kitchen and after pulling the door of the deep freezer compartment she slid the ice cream box inside.

Once done, Miho turned to look at Ichinose once again, contemplating whether she would be able to take his picture in the apron without getting noticed….but in the end, she decided otherwise.

She always messes up a big time at chances like these…better not make herself a weird person in Ichinose’s perception.

Her first thought was to leave the kitchen and reunite with Mizuki, who opened the door for Miho as well.

However, remembering how Riku always told her to never pass a chance where she could have some development with Ichinose, Miho hyped herself up and asked Ichinose in a strangely determined tone.

“Is it okay if I help you, Ichinose-kun?!”

Her loud and crisp voice made Ichinose slightly startled and before he knew he sliced the skin on his index finger.

“Ah….” Ichinose immediately removed his hand from the cutting board upon seeing the blood but before he could go to wash his wound, Miho suddenly dashed toward him and engulfed his fingers between her lips.

“Haum…”

Ichinose blinked in surprise before asking in a perplexed tone, “M-Miho-san?”

“Ish shtop blood…” Miho responded with the obvious. She had learned this method from her mother.

On the other side, there was a rare blush dyeing Ichinose’s whole face. He looked at her profile in astonishment and awe at how marvelously she handled the situation while remaining calm.

“Here you go…” After releasing his finger, Miho smiled while inspecting her medical work.

…however, when her gaze landed on Ichinose’s flushed face, she realized the severity of the matter and how idiotically she just behaved now.

“I-Ic-Ichi-Ichi-kun, I am sorrrrrryyyy!!” And with that, Miho dashed away…leaving a stunned Ichinose behind.

Ichinose tore his eyes away from the spot from where she turned and disappeared before his eyes went back to his finger

An impulse took over as he neared the finger to his lips….only to shake his head with a defeated smile and walk toward the sink.

‘Seriously…what am I…’
