“… This, no way.”

“I think I’m trapped… ”

This is not what was expected.

I ended up getting locked in the gym storage room at the after school academy.

“Um, uh… ”

Vita was extremely embarrassed, and Carlyle was no different.

Clank- clank-

So the two keep trying to open the door, but it doesn’t open at all.

“Phone, do you have it?”

Oh, right. You can just contact me, right?

But after searching through his pockets, Vita was left speechless.

“That, my phone. It’s in my classroom bag… ”

The same goes for Carlyle.

The two of them looked together to see if there was any way. Suddenly, the window of the warehouse caught their eye.

“Hey, window. Isn’t it worth a try?”

The high windows are closed, but if they could be opened they could communicate the situation. However, they are too high to reach.

‘What should I do with this…’

As Vita was pondering, a voice suddenly came into her mind.

“Get on top of me.”

“, Eek-?!”

“Don’t misunderstand. You are much lighter.”

With those words, Carlyle tapped his shoulder-

“Ah, that’s… ”

Vita felt a little embarrassed at herself for misunderstanding for a moment.

But, sure.

Because if I climb up onto those shoulders, it feels like I could touch them.

Although hesitant, Vita slowly climbed onto Carlyle’s hunched shoulders.

“Okay, hold on tight!”

“Don’t worry?”

Something, just now.

Vita paused for a moment because she felt a hint of humor in the nuance of what she was saying.

“… … ”

Silence lingered between the two as Carlyle seemed to realize it too.

Because things haven’t been going well between the two of them lately.

“big-”

So Carlyle cleared his throat and became indifferent again.

“Anyway, get on.”

“Oh, I got it.”

What did Vita just say?

I feel a little better now.

For no reason, for no reason.

No matter what, he was still quite conscious of Carlyle. He was concerned about the awkwardness between them.

Crunch- Crunch-

But after a while.

Even the window, our only hope, shows no sign of opening.

The two were speechless.

“… It won’t open, as expected.”

“Well, there’s nothing I can do.”

Why is it closed, anyway? But since you’re locked in, the cause doesn’t matter.

After that, the two tried several things. They tried to break the window with a ball.

“Is there anyone else-?!”

Or try knocking on the door from inside and shouting loudly.

But since those methods didn’t really work, the two of them grew increasingly tired. Silence fell again.

How much time has passed?

Meanwhile, Vita was sitting on the mat, exhausted, and Carlyle was leaning against the wall near the door.

The weather is chilly autumn.

The warehouse, which was not insulated, was secretly cold and dark.

The reddish sunset illuminated the inside of the warehouse, making me bite my bitter lips.

‘If it continues like this, really…’

There is no contact, and the space is sealed off.

It would be quite awkward for Carlyle and I to stay here until tomorrow.

Fortunately, I don’t feel the need or anything like that, but I just feel awkward. But that doesn’t mean any other methods come to mind.

Knock- knock-

Quite an awkward atmosphere.

Vita tried to touch the floor with her toes, but soon even that became bothersome and she couldn’t continue.

Carlyle Schultz, you know. He said he cared.

Honestly, at this point, Vita started to feel wronged.

No, that’s right.

Carlyle was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.

‘Yeah, I made a mistake.’

I admit it myself. Emily was right next to me, and I made a slip of the tongue.

[Yeah, I don’t like it.]

At that moment, Carlyle’s expression was so stiff that he was surprised even by himself.

To be honest, I wasn’t completely sincere.

Did you take it seriously?

But still, isn’t it a bit too much to keep doing this?

Vita thought so.

Although he did something wrong, it’s too much for a man to show his displeasure over a slip of the tongue.

However, Vita only thought that way inside and did not show it to the other person.

At least have a little conscience. It was your own mistake.

Now I don’t know why I said that.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t apologize because of my shallow pride.

Cold, hungry, physically and mentally exhausted.

In addition, Carlyle’s presence made her feel more and more tense, so Vita’s head suddenly started to feel hot.

It’s sinking, I feel down. I just feel upset.

No, why?

‘That Carlyle guy, whatever happens…’

Biting my lips hard.

Even if we drift apart like this, it doesn’t matter. Really, that’s why.

Originally, that guy and I were just rivals, and it would be even stranger if rivals were close.

Even as I thought about it, my heart felt somehow heavy.

This situation where Carlyle continues to treat him coldly is strangely annoying, and at the same time, for some reason…

“Cover up, if it’s cold.”

And right then.

Suddenly, a hand is extended in front of Vita. The jacket hanging on that hand is the usual consideration.

Suddenly, Vita had a thought.

‘Well then, you bastard.’

What did I do so wrong?

No, I was wrong… but I really didn’t mean it.

But I couldn’t apologize because of my modest pride, but I still felt like the other person approached me first.

‘You could have done it like this a long time ago…’

It’s a very shameless thought. He knows it.

But after that thought.

In that moment, something inside Vita burst as she was overcome with uncontrollable emotions.

***

Knock- knock-

“Rain, Bianca?”

Carlyle Schultz was taken aback by his opponent’s sudden crying.

Although things haven’t been smooth with my partner lately, I couldn’t ignore him.

My body started shivering a little, because it was definitely getting cold inside.

After thinking about it for a while, I handed him my jacket, and he reacted like this.

“Huh? Uh uh… ”

He himself looks flustered. He hurriedly turns his head away while wiping his eyes.

“What, what…?”

In reality, Vita couldn’t understand herself.

What is this all of a sudden? Why am I crying?

Because I don’t know myself.

‘No, why…’

I don’t know why.

Because I suddenly felt like this, with a lot of complex emotions, emotions I didn’t even know I had.

If Vita herself had been a woman from the beginning, would she have been able to understand the nature of these unknown feelings?

‘I made a mistake.’

I know that too.

I felt sorry. At the same time, I felt a little bit wronged.

I wonder why the guy keeps acting so petty, but I also feel like I should apologize, so I show a little bit of consideration.

In the end, I feel grateful and annoyed that the other person approached me first. Of course, the annoyance is directed at myself.

I don’t know. Me too. I just have a feeling that I can’t figure it out.

“Why are you crying, Bianca?”

When Carlyle asked softly, Vita wiped away her tears and answered curtly.

“I don’t know, me too.”

What an idiot. This guy is just an idiot.

That’s what I’ve decided now.

It’s not all good, nor is it all bad, of course.

At one time, I just hated him and thought of him as a rival.

It was honestly a little difficult for me to be awkward with Carlyle, even though we weren’t close friends or anything.

Vita Shamal is secretly narrow-minded in terms of interpersonal relationships. This is because she has a wall built up around her.

But Carlyle Schultz, without context, had somehow entered the line of Vita.

Without Vita knowing.

So I really can’t figure out why it’s so bitter.

Why am I crying now, like an idiot more than Carlyle, over something like this?

So, Vita tries to wipe away her tears stubbornly, but the tears show no sign of stopping easily.

Carlyle, who was initially embarrassed, soon calmed down and looked back on his recent self.

I felt a bit hurt.

He may be a bit childish, but he definitely has pride. And he’s never been rejected by a woman before.

Of course, I put in some effort on my own. I wanted to get closer to ‘Bianca Shamal’.

Because I even watched the anime.

But Bianca Shamal continued to act as if she was oblivious to him. She brought someone else to their private time and place, and it just so happened to be Emily Swan.

Even in front of Emily, in front of Carlyle himself, and in front of my childhood friend, I’ve been open about how much I dislike you.

Of course, Carlyle didn’t think that was entirely sincere.

Because he’s not stupid.

‘If Bianca really hates me…’

It’s not that I’m being arrogant, but women are secretly quite delicate and don’t get physical with people they don’t like.

I don’t think so though.

Still, there was a doubt in my heart.

Could it be true?

I can’t understand why my opponent always seems close to my grasp, but then runs away again.

In addition, Carlyle had a lot of personal things to worry about recently, so his head was always in a state of confusion.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep pushing when someone says no.

That’s what it was like.

But for now, the other person, Bianca Shamal, who he liked, was crying. So Carlyle went over and wiped away her tears.

“Don’t cry, Bianca.”

He was a little harsh. He also had complicated thoughts and acted harshly based on his childish thoughts.

“I’m sorry. I.”

With those words, Carlyle hugged Vita’s body.

In this situation, a bit absurdly, a smile appeared faintly on Carlyle Schultz’s lips.

‘Bianca also likes me…’

I don’t know if I like it, but I’m at least conscious of it. I like it.

Because I’m extremely embarrassed by myself who was crying earlier and by myself now.

Even though Vita’s body was hugged, she couldn’t react.

As soon as she was held in Carlyle’s arms, her tears stopped as if they were lying. As they continued to hold each other like that, the atmosphere between them soon became a little bit strange.

***

Something stops me. I feel awkward, different from before.

A ticklish feeling.

“I didn’t cry, me.”

I feel embarrassed for no reason and end up saying such rude things.

“Yeah, I know.”

“It looks like there’s dust in it… Really, really.”

“If that’s what you’re saying, then so be it.”

Carlyle laughed out loud at that ridiculous excuse.

“No, really.”

“Yeah, I believe you.”

“That’s not a trustworthy tone… ”

The awkward distance that had existed until just a moment ago, and even more so in the past few days, has now narrowed in an instant.

Vita was biting her lip while in her partner’s arms.

[I’m sorry, I.]

First, I received an apology.

It’s not the other person who should apologize first. It’s your own mistake.

So, after much hesitation, Vita ended up speaking up.

“… Sorry about that.”

I felt like I wouldn’t be able to say anything if it weren’t for this moment.

“Sorry, me too.”

Let’s throw away our petty pride and confess honestly.

“… I made a mistake.”

“I know, me too.”

“I lost the election to you and was childishly jealous. But I didn’t mean it.”

“I know, that too.”

Vita’s eyes widened.

“No, I got it…?”

Carlyle chuckles and pats his little head.

“Because it’s all on your face.”

“Then, why… ”

Vita blurted out the words, then shook her head. Because it was her fault. Even if she knew it was a mistake, it wasn’t okay.

Anyway, the situation was not resolved yet.

The two are still locked in the gym together, but somehow, they feel a sense of peace.

So Vita was probably held in those big arms for a long time.

Of course, as time went by, I became inexplicably embarrassed and told him to let me go.

“Let go, now.”

Carlyle has been denying it.

“No, I don’t like it.”

“Ugh, why…?”

“I wanted to hold you because it was cold.”

The season is definitely fall.

The unheated warehouse felt cold. Vita tried to talk to him several times after that, but Carlyle had no intention of letting her go.

Eventually, Vita gave up.

Still in Carlyle’s arms, she asks him questions.

“Be honest with me.”

“Suddenly, what?”

“The promise you made in the class president election back then. Is it really possible?”

The promise Carlyle made was nothing special.

A festival around the end of the semester.

There are also masked balls where men and women pair up, and events where each class plans something and competes.

So, what Carlyle put forward as an election promise was.

-If I become the class president…

The promise to hire a cocktail bar to host the festival at the end of the semester. The kids in the class fell for it. So Vita felt wronged.

“You, there you are.”

Carlyle is smiling slightly.

“How do you see me?”

“Do you think I’m a shameless guy?”

He is a shameless guy.

Carlyle agreed with that statement, but it was not a false promise.

“The bar I work at is pretty famous.”

“You… work?”

“Of course you don’t know.”

Instead of continuing, Carlyle lowered his head slightly.

In fact, I’ve been holding back all this time.

***

side-

Just a brief, fleeting kiss.

“Still, it doesn’t taste as good as your soft lips.”

Carlyle is back again.

Same old nonsense.

‘It’s tastier than a cocktail…?’

Vita’s face turned red as she quickly understood.

Could this be called a gesture of reconciliation?

Vita was embarrassed by her unusual behavior and tried to turn her head away, feeling embarrassed for some inexplicable reason, but was stopped by Carlyle.

And then another kiss.

Before they knew it, the two bodies were leaning toward each other.

“You know what, Bianca?”

When our lips parted for a moment.

Carlyle suddenly spoke.

“Why I ran for class president.”

Such a bothersome thing. Normally it would be an ordinary requirement, but there is a reason why he volunteered to be the class president.

“To stick with you. Instead of that other guy, me.”

“What, what…?”

Are you crazy? For that simple reason?

“What did I do to get close to you?”

The confessions continue.

“I even watched the anime about a magical girl or something.”

“That’s, what is…?”

Vita was extremely embarrassed.

That Carlyle Schultz? That guy who’s close to being popular?

He even watched anime to get closer to me.

“It was fun, in my own way.”

Then Carlyle chuckled, and Vita was almost speechless by then.

Because I could clearly feel the other person’s sincerity, it was undeniable.

“Huh-”

and.

I am drawn more to Carlyle, who blurted out the words.

After school, trapped in a warehouse with no one around.

But things like that are probably a good thing now.

Carlyle is now certain of his feelings. He knows that they are not his alone, and that the other person also has feelings for him to some extent.

The arm that was holding the woman’s body was getting stronger, and the grip on the back of her head was also getting stronger little by little.

“Okay, wait a minute-”

Vita tried to dissuade him, but in fact, he didn’t dislike it. Rather, he ended up responding to the other person.

Before I knew it, Vita’s slender arms were embracing Carlyle’s strong torso.

Now the man and woman are almost unstoppable.

While she was unconscious, Vita’s white blouse began to unbutton. Her body was also lying on the mat.

Carlyle was then left speechless for a moment at the unexpected sight.

“… What is this.”

White lace underwear with a somewhat innocent feel. I feel so pretty wearing something feminine after wearing only baby-like things.

“Don’t look, don’t look-!”

Vita tried to get up but ended up in Carlyle’s arms. To be exact, Carlyle held Vita in his arms again.

“It’s okay, it’s pretty. Did you change it to show me?”

That damn bullshit again.

“You were trying to show me!”

Vita is so exhausted that she feels like she wants to die.

I tried to hide it with my red face, but it was no use.

In an instant, the bra is lifted up and the breasts are swallowed by the lips.

At the same time, I can feel the sensation of my hands below.

‘Ah, this…’

Vita’s head starts spinning from the sudden sensation. Carlyle’s situation isn’t much different.

So, the two of them spent such a short time together.

When they are reconciling with each other and are on fire. When things are already completely messed up and cannot be fixed.

Little did Vita and Carlyle know that three other students were coming to the warehouse.

“The competition is next week, what kind of hardship is this?”

“Did you bring the key?”

“Of course.”

Clank- clank-

Vita and Carlyle were perplexed.

Oh my, crazy-!
