When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 57: The Feelings Of Each Other.

The Feelings Of Each Other.

(I finally kissed her ah!)

Takashi shouted in his mind during a class at school.

As he sat in his seat, he held his head and regretted the kiss he had given during the school day.

No, he doesn’t regret it because it was a kiss with someone he likes, but it would be more accurate to say that he feels guilty.

However, I kissed her even though we are not in a relationship, and for Himeno, it might be something she doesn’t like.

She just didn’t reject the kiss because people around her thought we were a silly couple, and I don’t know how she really felt about it.

In my mind, I find myself wondering, “Why do I have to kiss when we’re not even dating?”

For now, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that she dislikes me, but that might only be because we’re in public.

If we were alone, she might openly show a displeased expression.

After all, being kissed by a guy we’re not even dating…

“Agagaga.”

“Takahashi-kun, you’re being noisy.”

Takashi, who thought he might be disliked, let out a strange sound, but the teacher came over to warn him.

If a student makes a strange noise, the teacher would naturally give them a warning.

“Sorry.”

He apologized, looking at the teacher with a furrowed brow.

“Taka-kun, what’s going on?”

During lunch break, when we were alone, Himeno asked with a concerned look on her face.

It was probably about the strange sound I made during class.

If a classmate makes a strange noise, it’s something that would catch anyone’s attention.

“N-nothing.”

I didn’t want to admit that I might be disliked because of the kiss.

“There’s definitely something. You can’t fool me.”

Turning away, my hand felt the warmth of Himeno’s hand overlapping.

Certainly, it’s not common for someone to make strange noises for no reason.

“If something’s bothering you or if there’s something sad, please tell me. I’ll comfort you.”

I felt like leaning on Himeno with her gentle voice, but this relationship was only about comforting each other; we weren’t officially dating.

“Is it about the kiss, by any chance?”

“Yeah…”

I nod while thinking that she oddly seems to be perceptive.

Well, I think anyone could understand about the matter of the kiss.

“If you’re feeling guilty or anything, it’s okay.”

“…Huh?”

The unexpected words caught me off guard, and I widened my eyes in surprise.

I had anticipated a different line, perhaps a request not to kiss.

“If you don’t like it, it’s because you’re avoiding it in public, right?”

As if recalling the kiss, my cheeks flushed bright red.

Certainly, even for a silly couple, it’s possible to use being in public as a reason to avoid it.

It wasn’t like she had forcefully resisted, and with a woman’s strength, she could easily have escaped.

“In other words, a kiss with you… is not unpleasant.”

These were the words coming from her, her entire face, including her ears visible through her hair, now bright red.

(Does that mean… well, but…)

The beautiful Himeno, often called Snow White, liking the plain Takashi was unimaginable.

Even if she doesn’t dislike it, it’s unclear if she sees me as a romantic interest.

(Maybe I’m overthinking it because I misunderstood Marika’s infatuation.)

Due to the past misunderstanding that Marika liked him just because she held hands only with him, Takashi became overly suspicious.

If Himeno thinks of the kiss as just one form of comfort, confessing would be meaningless.

(No, but would Himeno really kiss me for comfort?)

It’s hard to believe that the seemingly modest Himeno would let someone she doesn’t like kiss her.

So, at least there’s quite a bit of affection in the sense of friendship.

Having been comforted, it wouldn’t be strange if she harbored feelings of goodwill.

However, he wasn’t confident if these were feelings of romantic interest.

“Um… Can you show me some evidence? If the kiss was unpleasant, I want to apologize.”

Unlike men, a woman’s first kiss likely holds special meaning.

No, men also cherish their first kiss, but compared to women, many are more casual about it.

“I’m okay with it.”

Her unbelievably perfect and beautiful face slowly approached.

Her blue eyes, though shy, looked directly at me, as if pleading, “Don’t run away.”

“Mmm…”

With two kisses in just one day, I realized that kissing was not unpleasant for Himeno
