“Uh… . Uh oh, oh oh… !”

Aki, who must have never imagined that our faces would appear on the electronic display board, was startled and covered her mouth with her right hand, and I, who was next to me, also flinched in shock.

Aki’s reaction was so loud that he was surprised even though he knew it was kiss time. Perhaps because of that, my calm mind starts to fluctuate and my heart starts pounding in an instant.

‘It’s finally come… … !’

How long have I waited for this moment?

It’s because I don’t show it, but to be honest, I’ve been thinking all week, ‘How can I kiss naturally?’

Of course it didn’t mean much, but still.

“Woo, woo… . Wooo, chan… ?!”

Aki seems quite shocked and is struggling to speak properly.

Her cheeks were dyed a cute red, and Aki’s embarrassed appearance was visible to everyone at Jamsil Stadium through the camera.

“Woo, Uju~chan, this, this, this… .”

In fact, I ask myself if I do not have such awareness, looking only at myself, not at the electronic display board.

You might be thinking, ‘How did this happen…’ It seems like you want to ask the question, ‘?!’

There’s no way I could answer that.

It’s not that I know the context but deliberately don’t tell it for fear of getting caught, or anything like that.

I’m just nervous and don’t know what to say. Even if you know it’s kiss time, it doesn’t mean you won’t be nervous.

“Well, I guess we got caught… ?”

First, I tried to say something appropriate.

Because it’s important to be natural in things like this.

“Ah, uh… . Well, so… .”

When I mumbled and pretended like nothing had happened, Aki, who had been flustered, must have been affected by it, but also calmed down a little.

But that’s just it.

I completely forgot the ‘Kissing Time Code of Conduct’ that I had pictured in my head in advance, so I stayed still, and Aki only glanced at my face, as if he was no different from me.

“… … If a man and a woman are together, are they all caught?”

“Well, well. Atashi (I), I don’t know… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

It’s been about 10 seconds since the camera captured Aki and I.

We’re both so nervous that we can’t even think about doing anything and just stand still. The people around us seemed to think that Aki and I were having a hard time, so they clapped their hands rhythmically and shouted, ‘Kiss, kiss!’

‘… … No, I want to do it too.’

When I think about doing it, my body stops moving.

If we had kissed a few times, we would have been able to do so without hesitation, but as I said before, we have never kissed on the lips.

Even if people around you are urging you to do so, is it okay to kiss Aki without permission? … ? I even wonder.

“… … Hey, Aki.”

“Oh, uh… ? … … Why, why?”

“That… .”

I was about to ask if it was okay if I kissed you.

Suddenly, I thought this wasn’t right.

Even though I am a mother who has never been in a relationship.

Because I have seen and heard a lot here and there, I can confidently say that my knowledge about relationships is second to none.

‘When a man wants to do something… .’

I didn’t ask with my mouth.

He asked with his body and decided based on the woman’s reaction.

Although I had no basis or anything, I was somehow confident.

-Hey, the guy kisses first!

-Yes, kiss me, kiss me!

People around us seemed to be tired of waiting and quickly urged us on, but the camera director was on our side anyway.

They must have been waiting for the scene of me and Aki kissing to the point where they asked for a deep kiss instead of giving them a premium seat, so I thought it would be okay to wait a little longer.

‘Well, actually, it’s not okay, but… … .’

If you don’t think about it this way, you won’t be able to relax.

“… … Anything, anything to say. … Are there any?”

Aki glances at me and asks carefully.

Instead of answering with words.

‘Let’s calm down… .’

After taking a deep breath to control my mind, I took action to ask Aki with my body.

First, I gently extend my right arm, which I had unconsciously let go of because I was so surprised earlier, towards Aki.

“Woo, Uju~chan… ?”

Aki twitched his shoulder once, but did not avoid my approaching touch.

Encouraged by that, I spread out my palm and gently stroked Aki’s head.

“… … Ah.”

Aki’s cheeks heated up in anger.

I don’t think he ever thought that I would suddenly pat him on the head in this situation.

I could see that Aki wasn’t reacting with dislike either, so I gently moved my hand down and touched the back of his hair, allowing Aki to look at me naturally.

Then, our eyes met in the air.

I didn’t say anything and just looked at Aki.

What are my inner thoughts in my eyes as I look at Aki? ‘Can I kiss you?’

“… … .”

Aki’s cheeks are so hot that you wonder if they could get any more red.

Perhaps, he vaguely sensed why I was looking at him with such profound eyes.

“… … Tsk.”

Aki bit his lower lip and covered his mouth with his right hand.

Then, he slightly lifted his face, which was so red that even five long fingers could not hide it, and looked up at me with eyes filled with shame.

To be honest,

I don’t know the true feelings contained in Aki’s eyes.

Are you saying it’s okay to do it, or are you asking me not to do it because it’s embarrassing?

‘… … When you’re not sure.’

It would be right to ask directly.

Of course, the means of asking questions is not words, but the body.

I decided to lightly grab Aki’s wrist with my left hand and gently lower it without applying any force.

If you feel Aki frown or exert strength to hold on, it’s over.

‘please… .’

I hope you don’t hate it.

If Aki doesn’t like me doing this.

Regardless of whether or not I was able to kiss today, I felt like I would be very heartbroken over the loss that came from Aki rejecting me.

“… … .”

“… … .”

While keeping eye contact with Aki, I carefully looked down at my wrist.

However, Aki gives it his strength and holds on.

At that moment, I was so shocked that it felt like my whole world had collapsed.

Of course, the reason Aki is holding on is because he doesn’t want to kiss me.

It means that they only think of me as a childhood friend and have never thought of me as anything more than that… … !

“… … Cow, hand.”

But, that wasn’t it.

“… … ?”

“Hold my hand… … .”

“… … !”

The reason Aki held on without lowering his wrists was because he wanted to hold my hand.

My mood, which had hit rock bottom, quickly rose again and reached the ceiling, and I urgently held Aki’s hand to see if he would change his mind.

“… … Okay, okay?”

“Ugh… .”

Aki nods her head shyly.

Since my expectations were not correct, I reflexively felt relieved.

Then, soon my heart began to tremble again.

Letting Aki hold your hand means showing your lips.

And, showing your lips to me at this moment… … .

It means it’s okay to kiss.

“… … Universe.”

The moment my thoughts reached that point, Aki softly called my name and I slowly closed my eyelids.

As I looked at Aki, who quietly closed her eyes, I gulped down my throat without realizing it.

You’re right that you can do it.

“… … .”

“… … .”

You can really do it.

That’s right… … ?

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

A moment that feels like eternity.

For a moment, I hope that the fleeting eternity will continue.

I am.

… … I am.

“… … Aki.”

“… … Yes.”

──Page.

I placed my lips on Aki’s lips.

… … Very briefly, about 0.5 seconds.

“… … ?”

Aki slowly opened his eyelids.

And then hold me still.

I just looked at him without saying anything.

“… … .”

“… … .”

For some reason, Aki seemed a little angry.

‘… … ‘Why are you doing that?’

Did you hate it when I kissed you?

“… … Universe.”

“Huh? … Why?”

“What are you doing now… … .”

[Steamy, one more time!]

At that time, a strange phrase appeared on the electronic display and the background changed.

I’m not sure what the phrase ‘Steamy one more time!’ means, but it looks like they’re doing something extra after the fourth couple.

The electronic signboard went over with the sound of “pop.”

In the converted screen, Aki and I appeared once again.

“Huh?”

Why are we coming out again? Wasn’t it once per couple?

-One more time, one more time!

-Kiss me one more time!!

I felt that way for a moment. The cheering around becomes extremely loud, and almost everyone starts shouting one more time at the same time.

‘Oh, no way…’ .’

Did the meaning of [one more passionate kiss] mean that couples who had already kissed should kiss one more time? ?

“… … Universe.”

“Uh, huh?”

I unconsciously turned my head towards Aki.

Then, Aki’s arms suddenly wrap around my neck.

“… … Haum.”

“… … Eup?!”

And then, Aki’s lips overlapped mine.

Kuuuk──.

Cough, cluck——!

“Ugh, town… .”

It’s not enough that their lips overlap so much that you wonder if they can even fit together like this.

“… … side. … Jjook.”

Aki took my lower lip between hers and sucked it hard, making a loud noise.

“Ugh, pahaa… … .”

Aki parted his lips and gulped down saliva that he couldn’t tell who it belonged to.

I stared at him blankly, but later came to my senses and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

“… … ?! … ?, … ?!”

Aki looks at me and smiles with one corner of her mouth slightly raised.

“Kiss… . This is how you do it. … Got it?”

A smile that looks strangely seductive.

“… … .”

My heart is pounding.

My heart is pounding… … .

“… … Universe.”

“… … Uh, huh?”

“Next time… . Shall we come cheer for each other in matching uniforms?”

“… … .”

The moment I heard Aki’s words.

I made up my mind.

I decided to bury my bones with the Lotte Giants.

“Ugh, then… .”

“… … Hehe, okay.”

side.

Aki kissed my cheek.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he crossed his arms and leaned his head on my shoulder.

“Can we have kiss time next time?”

“… … Well.”

“I hope I get caught. … … Right?”

“… … .”

yes.
