Tiring- Tiring-

[The train will leave soon.]

An announcement is heard. A crowd of people rushes out and blocks the space between the two people.

But still.

The two can’t take their eyes off each other.

Words get stuck in your mouth. You forget to breathe.

It feels as if time and space have stopped.

‘It worked, you and me.’

Because I had that feeling.

Vita and Carlyle too.

When we just stand there blankly for a moment and look at each other’s faces.

Vita almost fell over as she was swept away by the crowd.

“Oh… Oh… ”

I was completely out of my mind.

I was able to get back on track right away so there were no problems, but I did see Carlyle getting anxious in the meantime.

In Vita, the family gradually becomes more certain.

Still, Carlyle Schultz did not give up on himself.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to react like that. He had an anxious expression on his face.

‘Carlyle… me… ‘

So, definitely still.

I don’t know if I like it. I don’t know if it’s too late.

When I think about it like that, Vita is so happy and dazed. She’s out of her mind.

After people disappeared.

Now the station felt deserted again.

The soft afternoon sunlight shining inside.

Now Vita and Carlyle.

There was nothing that stood between the two of them. There were no obstacles.

But the words are stuck in my mouth and I don’t know what to say.

Emotions that are so full they feel like they might burst.

I can’t say anything.

“… Bianca.”

Of course. This time it was Carlyle Schultz.

The one who approaches first.

It’s an expression that is hard to describe.

But it definitely doesn’t feel bad to me.

Because Carlyle Schultz’s golden eyes only had Vita in their sights, Vita, who had been dazed, belatedly came to her senses.

“Car, Carlyle… ”

“Bianca, you.”

A low voice. A voice I wanted to hear.

But as Carlyle Schultz approached her, Vita held out her hand.

“Okay, wait a minute…!”

A look that asks why.

“Me, me first… ”

Vita spoke somewhat hastily and with difficulty.

I will speak first.

Carlyle, you’re good. I just found out.

I’m going to speak first.

At least in confession, I don’t want to lose the initiative. I want to be the first to say what I did wrong. I’ve been a little too much with the person in front of me lately.

“Carlyle, I… ”

So stop your opponent.

“Me, you…!”

Vita is about to speak.

Thump- thump-

My heart is beating fast.

Not just running, but running so loudly that you could hear the sound.

My face is getting hot.

Well, it’s the first time I’ve completely faced my own heart. It feels like my mind has turned white for a moment.

“Joe,joe… !”

But I have to say it.

I’m so embarrassed. I just want to say something, but I can’t find the words.

Moreover, Vita realized one fact anew.

So, I have nothing to reveal. It might be more appropriate to first reveal the fact that I was originally a man and then confess.

Because you can’t fool your opponent. Foolishly speaking.

‘So how do I do this…?’

First of all, we need to calm down.

“Joe, Joe… !”

In the end, Vita, who had been worrying about it, just did it anyway.

“… Want to go eat dinner?!”

After saying those words, he lowers his head.

‘Ah, I want to die…’

Close both eyes tightly.

Seriously, this is a mood killer.

But I was too nervous. I don’t want to say things here that need to be revealed in advance.

So Vita said this.

The highlight of confession day, sunset, has not even arrived yet.

If I’m going to tell the truth, I want to calm down a bit and then say it.

By the time Vita finished rationalizing everything.

In the meantime, Carlyle was right in front of Vita.

“You, really… ”

A look of disbelief. But on the other hand, Vita feels relieved by that look.

‘This is the Carlyle I know…’

Because it’s someone I know. That makes me feel safe.

Carlyle, who had been looking dumbfounded, soon started to laugh. His passionate emotions subsided as if it were a lie. It was truly absurd.

‘Anyway, to break the mood…’

I said she’s a talented woman.

But this is the Bianca Shamal he knows, the one he has always loved.

Carlyle’s smiling expression gradually hardened.

“Why don’t you have shoes…?”

Where his gaze was directed. Of course, it was Vita’s bare feet.

“That, that’s… ”

No other words are needed.

“What, what are you doing-!”

Carlyle embraces Vita’s body very naturally.

“You can’t go barefoot.”

“That’s right… ”

Vita’s face turned red and she spoke in a small voice.

“… It’s a little better to carry it.”

I don’t have the confidence to continue looking at Carlyle right now. At close range, that is.

“Okay, then.”

The sun will set soon.

So the two of them stuck together and escaped history together.

***

Vita was carried on her back, and Carlyle was carrying his opponent. Carlyle’s coat was also draped over Vita.

Even though I said I didn’t need it, I was forced to wear it.

“… ”

There is no word exchanged between the two.

In fact, both of them are very emotional.

A feeling of unbelief, a feeling that I have finally reached it.

I don’t know why we’ve come back to each other now.

But I finally got there. I think so.

That’s why I said that. No one dared to speak up first.

However, it is bitter.

This situation is not awkward at all.

Yeah, that’s the feeling.

Even if we don’t talk to each other, we just feel comfortable and we become quite dependable.

In the midst of all that, the attitude of worrying about me. I know all of that.

For some reason, a part of my heart starts to tingle.

Before I know it, a smile appears on my face.

‘Okay, this is…’

Vita liked this.

I like this relationship between myself and that Carlyle guy.

‘This is right for the two of us.’

When I’m with you, I just feel at ease.

It’s like we’re old friends, so I can rely on him and I have no hesitation at all. I enjoy spending time with him.

Actually, it’s bitter.

I have a rough idea of what Carlyle Schultz was waiting for, but I am very curious about it.

‘Obviously, Emily…’

Because I said I would confess.

I’m also curious as to whether he met Emily, and if so, how the confession went.

Carlyle’s position is the same.

Because I didn’t have any expectations.

On the one hand, I expected it, but on the other hand, I didn’t expect it.

Because my opponent was so disorganized, I didn’t expect him to come running to me in such a desperate manner.

How did he know?

Bianca Shamal appears with a desperate expression, as if she doesn’t want to let him go.

What is it like now?

Even though he didn’t say anything, he was still clinging to her. He was gently wrapping his arms around her neck.

Besides, what an unknown change.

Bianca herself is probably unconscious, but she keeps rubbing her balls against his neck.

‘Is this… a dream?’

Carlyle is incredulous.

So, really. It feels like a dream.

So at this point, it feels like nothing else matters to either of them.

‘Just you and Bianca…’

‘Anyway, Carlyle and you…’

It ended like this.

Because I have a feeling that my heart has been touched.

I almost missed this.

‘… Good, very good.’

Vita was so happy with this situation right now.

Being with Carlyle like this was just so nice. I wasn’t even aware of the people around me staring at me.

I was having a hard time running until just now. But now I feel like all that hardship has been healed.

Booby- Booby-

Although he is not conscious of it, he is hugging the other person tightly and rubbing his cheeks.

Exactly, yes.

Because of this affection.

‘…I started to like you.’

Vita likes Carlyle.

It feels like my throat is slightly choked.

Because I almost missed this precious time.

Such feelings are sometimes conveyed without needing to be expressed in words.

Carlyle couldn’t quite relate to the other person’s feelings, the feelings Bianca Shamal was showing him.

It was only after a long time that he calmed down and spoke lightly.

“Bianca, you.”

“… Yeah, why?”

“Why on earth are girls so clumsy?”

It’s something I’ve heard before.

At that time, Vita was a little irritated by those words.

But not now.

On the contrary, Vita feels good because she feels worried about Carlyle’s words.

This is a big problem. It seems quite serious.

“So, did you add anything?”

So Vita hesitated and a small voice answered.

“So, you.”

Carlyle Schultz speaks. You can’t see his expression, but he seems to be smiling.

“It has to be me. Stay by my side, Bianca.”

Vita’s face turned red at the sudden attack, but rather than deny it, she chose another method.

“But, where are you going now…?”

I’m changing the subject.

“They’re all here, finally.”

The two people arrived at a shoe store in the city.

“You can’t go barefoot.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

When Carlyle entered the store, he asked the clerk for a handkerchief. And he said he had one.

“Stay still, feet.”

Vita could only sit on the chair and watch Carlyle kneel before her and wipe her feet. That is, now.

“No, that’s it. It’s a little ticklish… ?”

Actually, I’m just embarrassed. My feet are curled up.

‘Everyone around me is watching…!’

Actually, that’s really true.

“Your boyfriend is romantic. Should I put your shoes here?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Because Carlyle doesn’t care what other people think. He only focuses on me.

‘Ugh, really…’

Vita had to cover her face with her hands as she blushed.

Still, honestly.

Honestly, I like it a little.

“This is a little worn out.”

“… Okay, it’s okay.”

A person who cares about you.

I only see Carlyle’s face between my fingers. I see him diligently washing my feet.

‘As expected, that’s why…’

Vita realized once again that she had come to like this guy Carlyle.

***

So the two came out of the shoe store after a while.

Carlyle, quite naturally.

I brushed back my slightly messy hair.

Nose, mouth, and then gently caress the crown of your head.

Vita felt her body shrinking little by little.

“Are you hungry, Bianca…?”

Suddenly, Carlyle asked. Vita felt a little hungry, but absentmindedly looked at her watch.

‘It’s already come to this…’

When I looked at the time, it was already past five thirty.

The sun will soon set behind the clouds.

So Vita thought about it and decided what to say.

“No, not really.”

It’s a rather ambiguous time to eat in many ways. The time of confession is approaching.

Instead, something occurred to me at that moment.

“Yeah, but… there’s something I want to eat.”

“What is that?”

Towards the Carlyle guy. Vita opened her mouth with a slightly trembling voice.

“That, you know. The parfait I had before.”

I wanted to eat that.

It was really delicious and satisfied my hunger just right.

Because it’s something that comes to mind.

“Okay, then.”

Carlyle smiles faintly.

“I was just about to take you there.”

I made a reservation at a restaurant, but the time was too vague.

Since it was a method he had originally thought of to catch his opponent, Carlyle didn’t care if the reservation fee was lost.

Their hearts were connected.

Vita feels a little better about things like this for no reason.

‘As expected, this guy Carlyle…’

It feels right. It definitely does.

So the two walked towards the park.

There is no awkward feeling when holding hands.

Rather, this feeling of Vita being led by Carlyle is not bad at all. Honestly, it’s good.

‘Ah, that seat…’

Soon Vita discovered.

The one where I used to sit with Carlyle Schultz, and just yesterday-

Wearing sunglasses, alone and lost in sorrow.

It now feels like a dream that I was so depressed like the heroine of a tragic story.

In fact, this situation.

Vita, everything seems like a dream.

“Stay here for a moment. I’ll get it right away.”

Carlyle sits down and tries to leave.

The old Vita absentmindedly grabbed Carlyle’s collar, then let go.

But now it’s different.

“Let’s go together, me too… !”

Vita grabbed Carlyle’s collar as he tried to leave her behind.

“There’s no need to come.”

“No, that’s not it… ”

After hesitating for a moment, Vita told her true feelings. She closed her eyes tightly.

“I, I… I don’t want to be apart… ”

Carlyle’s golden eyes widen. For a moment, he takes on a look of incomprehension.

On the contrary, Vita felt embarrassed for no reason.

“If you don’t like it, just say it…!”

If you finally muster up the courage and the other person reacts like that, you’ll end up feeling discouraged.

So Carlyle immediately caught Vita sitting down.

“No, let’s go together.”

After saying those words, Carlyle raised both hands and washed his face dry.

‘What is this…’

What the hell is destructive?

Because that’s what I thought.

Bianca Shamal probably doesn’t know what her own expression is just now.

It’s just like a kitten that depends solely on its mother.

Bianca, who realized her heart, was so cute.

In fact, as soon as Carlyle came to his senses and gave his consent.

“Yeah, okay! I’ll go with you.”

A bright smile appeared on the previously pale face.

Bianca Shamal, who realized my heart, was cute.

That too, too.

Even while the two of them were doing that.

Slowly time passed.

The most important time of the day is confession time.
