Afterwards, the two of them bought a parfait and sat down together.

Just before eating.

I put the parfait down for a moment and Carlyle came up to me and hugged me tightly.

Vita was slightly flustered. It felt so sudden?

“I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now.”

But I can understand what Carlyle is saying.

After all, it must have been because of my own feet that I had to endure it all along.

So Vita quietly surrendered her body like a broken doll.

Cozy, warm.

The place where they touch is hot.

It’s hard to believe that Carlyle and I have grown so distant over the past few days.

Why on earth is that? It feels a little different than before I realized my mind.

Something more embarrassing and cringing.

So even after the other person released his arm, Vita had no idea where to look. After clearing his throat, he finally spoke.

“What, should I eat?!”

The time will soon come. After eating this parfait, I will confess my feelings.

So Vita tries to eat the parfait quickly and diligently. She has to be on time.

Wow wow, yum yum.

“You said you didn’t like sweet things.”

Carlyle just smiles next to me.

At those words, Vita felt embarrassed and started coughing. With a slightly stung expression, she made excuses for nothing.

“Ha, but… what can I do with something so delicious… ”

Actually, that’s right.

It was the first thing Carlyle Schultz bought for me.

So, parfait is bound to remain in your memory. Over and over, all the time.

Perhaps Vita would never forget this snack. It was delicious to begin with.

“But you don’t eat?”

Carlyle shrugs his shoulders at Vita’s question.

“I hate parfait.”

Oh, that’s right.

You said that last time too. And yet you bought me a parfait.

“And I don’t get hungry just by looking at you.”

Vita almost buried her nose in the parfait.

“Oh, really…!”

Apart from what you like.

“I told you not to say things like that.”

I wish you hadn’t said such harsh words. Carlyle chuckled, as if he had intended to tease her in the first place.

The surrounding scenery is slowly turning red. Time is approaching.

“That, Emily… ”

Now, with difficulty.

Vita brought up a topic she had been curious about for a while.

A question with a lot of omissions. The answer is immediate.

“I rejected the confession.”

“Yeah, I see… ”

After answering like that, Vita looks at Parfait again.

I can’t even see the parfait that was delicious just a moment ago.

‘… You rejected my confession.’

Carlyle rejected Emily.

Vita felt somehow reassured by that fact.

My mood starts to lift, little by little.

Since I saw the other person, Carlyle’s face, at the station earlier, my assumptions have been answered.

I would also like to confirm this with Carlyle Schultz.

He also asked a question.

“Remember our match?”

“S, match…?”

He chuckles at the other person’s reaction.

“It’s a wound, but… I completely forgot about it?”

She’s a competitive woman, so she’d like to pretend not to know. But her expression quickly changes at the mere mention of his hurt.

“Oh, no! I remember. Yes! ”

Carlyle Schultz asked.

“How about it, Bianca? Do you see any chance of winning?”

In a playful tone, somewhat lightly.

“I was curious too.”

He tries to confirm that his assumptions are correct.

Vita couldn’t answer that question right away.

Honestly, a little.

‘… I feel like I’m losing something.’

With such a childish mind.

But the answer has already been decided. Now, I have decided not to hide my feelings.

‘Okay, now…’

Let’s not hide it anymore.

Without thinking, Vita takes a quick look at the surrounding scenery.

The time is approaching.

As we pause for a moment, the sun begins to set.

The sunset of Confession Day was finally beginning.

‘Yeah, I…’

Vita closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them.

Thump- thump-

My heart is beating fast. My lips are getting dry.

The feeling of my hands and feet shaking slightly, tiny bits.

My mind has already been made up, and all that remains is to convey this overflowing feeling.

But before that, Vita has something to confess.

“Actually, Carlyle… !”

I tried to speak but was stopped by the other person.

Vita’s amethyst eyes widened as she was suddenly hugged and her lips were stolen by the other person.

***

The surprise was fleeting, and soon their lips parted.

Very light and soft, like feathers falling on you.

The lips that had been touching each other so much soon parted.

“… ”

Vita was a little surprised though.

My face turned red in an instant, and I felt a slight sense of regret in my heart.

Carlyle’s expression, visible right in front of his nose, is serious.

“No need to say more. Confession is something a man does.”

And before Vita could even answer.

“I love you, Bianca.”

The other person’s confession is heard. Their hot breath pours out toward Vita.

At a distance where our noses touch, looking into each other’s eyes.

“There was a time when I really thought about giving up on you… ”

I hear unexpected words.

This happened recently.

When the malicious rumors began to spread, Carlyle was forced to look back on his past life.

“I thought you were too much of a woman for me.”

“My, my… ?”

“… When I think about my past, I can’t be honest.”

Carlyle’s eyes are serious. At first glance, a painful emotion passes through those golden eyes. But in the end, what remains is something burning.

“But, the more I think about it, I just can’t give up on you, Bianca.”

So, why?

“Because of the faith you continued to show me even amidst those rumors. And because of your affection.”

“That’s, what is…?”

Carlyle chuckled as Vita’s eyes grew wide.

“You’re so naive, it shows on your face. You should practice acting.”

Vita was speechless.

‘No, I mean… ‘

You knew it all? Carlyle knew all about your acting?

My face is getting hot.

“Uh, how…?”

“Because you can see it, all.”

Carlyle just laughs. And before he knows it, he’s down on one knee in front of Vita.

“So, Bianca”

He takes out a box that he has been keeping carefully in his arms.

Several months’ worth of his labor went into this one, but he has no regrets.

“Will you marry me?”

Carlyle Schultz proposed to her, showing her the amethyst necklace he found in the box.

“Eh, eek…?!”

Vita was naturally embarrassed.

You’re proposing to me out of the blue?!

But judging from the expression on his face, he was really sincere.

“Why, you don’t like it?”

The look on his face as if he had no expectation that he would be rejected while speaking.

Carlyle Schultz is a confident man.

“No, what… ”

Vita is ridiculous.

‘Was he always like this…?’

And then I think about it again. Looking back, he was a very strange guy from the first time we met, and he was a very easygoing guy.

Still, maybe.

‘I don’t hate it at all, but…’

If I ever get married, it will only be to the guy in front of me.

He suddenly proposed to me…?

It felt so distant that I didn’t even think about it.

Vita answered with a blushing face.

“Even if you suddenly say something like that… It’s still so far away… ”

“I won’t do it without you.”

In the meantime, Carlyle Schultz seems to have regained his composure. He’s a shameless guy, after all.

“What the…what the sudden marriage?!”

Vita’s face flushes and she bites her lips lightly. She doesn’t know what to do, but she feels good about it because she has confirmed Carlyle’s feelings.

Okay, very good.

Honestly, it’s really good.

The necklace in the box. Vita thinks she knows why Carlyle went out of his way to buy that necklace.

He snatches the necklace that is the color of his own eyes with his hand.

“This, first of all…! I’ll take this… ”

My face is completely burning up. I feel even more embarrassed when Carlyle laughs.

I think it’s fortunate that it’s the time when the sun is setting, the time when the sun is setting.

Otherwise, the blushing face would have been a sign that she liked him too much.

***

‘…okay.’

but.

Then Vita comes to mind.

Actually, honestly.

There is something that needs to be revealed.

Should I first reveal the truth and then confess my feelings, or should I confess my feelings and then reveal the truth?

Vita has been worried.

Until now, my mind was leaning towards the former, but now I’m leaning towards the latter. But still, I want to convey my feelings first.

‘Let’s confess our feelings first…’

Although the opponent has already taken the player away, Vita’s heart is not light either.

‘I like you, Carlyle.’

As I try to express it in words, I suddenly feel a bitter feeling.

In an instant, emotions surge again.

In the red sunset, Vita puts her hand on her chest.

Thump- thump-

Yeah, for now.

I really like you a lot.

Vita, who realized that, opened her lips with great difficulty.

“Carlyle, me too… ”

Take a deep breath and it’s finally time to confess.

Before we knew it, the red glow of the sunset was beginning to color the surroundings.

The peak of sunset. Soon this time will end like a dream.

But Vita hesitates and changes her mind again.

“Me, actually… ”

That’s why my feelings right now are so complicated.

I like Carlyle Schultz, and he likes me too.

I’m so happy about that.

But, between people who love each other, the most important truth cannot be lied to.

‘So I have to reveal it. I was originally a man…’

I have to say it. When I think about it, I wonder if it’s right to say it first.

But when it comes to actually revealing it, I can’t find the words.

Vita shuts her eyes tightly and clenches her fists.

“Ha… Ugh… ”

It was hard to breathe, so I took a deep breath.

“What’s wrong, Bianca…?”

You can see Carlyle’s expression has already hardened.

It was scary, Vita.

Honestly, I was really scared.

‘But… this is… ‘

But you have to say it. You can’t fool the other person. You can’t deceive them.

If it’s going to get revealed someday, it’s better to reveal it now.

“Actually, I…!”

“To me, you are a woman.”

A word that suddenly came to mind.

Vita’s two eyes vibrated.

“No matter what you were in the past, even if you were a man. I don’t care. Because to me, you are a woman.”

Carlyle continues speaking with a serious expression.

‘How on earth…?’

Vita has no idea how Carlyle knows, but the other person continues talking.

“From the beginning, you were the only woman for me. That certainly hasn’t changed since then, and it won’t change ever since.”

Carlyle Schultz is trying to convince his opponents now.

“So, Bianca. To me, you are a woman.”

“No matter what you think of yourself, no matter what others think.”

“Because it has to be you.”

He just said that this was enough. Other women meant nothing to him.

Bianca Shamal You are the only woman for me, Carlyle wants to assure.

Brrrr-

The other person was shaking slightly. Carlyle got up again, hugged the other person, and gently stroked his head.

“Because it’s you, Bianca Shamal. I fell in love with you.”

“No other woman can replace you.”

It gives confidence.

“That’s, what is… ”

What on earth are you talking about? Vita wants to ask the other person.

Vita wants to ask the other person how on earth he knew.

Even though it was me who had to make the difficult confession.

How does the other person know and confess to you?

“You were a woman to me. So, from the beginning.”

[It’s okay, now.]

On a previous school trip. In the mountains at night.

The moment I heard those words and the current situation overlap.

With just a few words and a few actions, Carlyle had blown away all the worries Vita had had so far.

***

A really difficult worry, a worry that was hard to confess.

“So stay by my side.”

“Ah, um… ”

Vita’s eyes are hot, and at some point, her throat starts to get choked up. She can’t say anything.

I can’t even express it.

So Carlyle took the necklace back from my hands.

Swish-

Even when he hung it around his neck, Vita was just blankly staring.

“Just stay by my side.”

But those words from the other person. Those one words make my heart boil over.

He opens his mouth with difficulty.

“… I may have many shortcomings.”

“It doesn’t matter, that kind of thing.”

Carlyle Schultz answered.

Because I am no different.

I reflect on my past. So I think I have many shortcomings.

Of course, I’m an orphan, and I have no foundation. So, I’m no different.

“Me too.”

“… I have a strong sense of pride, so I might make a slip of the tongue.”

Carlyle chuckled.

“That doesn’t matter either. Misunderstandings can be resolved. I know you well.”

“… I might be jealous of you.”

“It doesn’t matter, that too. Rather, it’s okay to do it.”

When I say everything is okay, Vita is speechless.

“But why are you crying, Bianca…?”

“Uh, ahh… ”

Vita suddenly realizes that she is crying.

Long, rough fingers wiping away his tears, and golden eyes beneath the setting sun containing only him.

Whatever emotion is contained within those golden eyes, what color emotion is shown to you.

Everyone realizes Vita’s infinite affection, her unspeakable longing.

And one last thing.

‘Actually… you too… ‘

You’re afraid too.

Very, very possibly. I’m worried that my last attempt at persuasion might not be very effective.

Vita likes this kind of person, the kindness of the person. She likes it when the person continues to approach her steadfastly.

So, now.

Finally, I’m telling the truth.

“But, Carlyle.”

Vita smiled brightly. She tried to smile brightly. She wanted to show her sincerity on her confession face.

“… Even though this country is lacking, I still like you.”

Carlyle’s expression changes.

Slowly, with joy. Beyond joy, into something.

Warak-

My partner suddenly hugged me.

“Ah, wait… I’m still talking… ”

“Oh, sorry.”

Vita pushes Carlyle away and continues to convey her feelings.

“You are good at everything, and you are also sincere. So, since when did I… ”

I don’t know since when I started to admire this guy Carlyle Schultz.

I thought it was amazing, knowing the other person’s circumstances.

Go Ara is from an orphanage. Even while working part-time, she has the best grades. And she’s good at everything.

But it was clear from before that.

‘I don’t know if I’ve been longing for you, Carlyle.’

Because he was so outstanding in every way, I was jealous.

At one time, I thought that it was because I hated those feelings.

Now that I look back, it was Dong-Gyeong. I didn’t admit it because I was a person with too much needless competitive spirit.

‘But this kind of longing…’

Let’s just think about it inwardly. Right now, other truths are more important. Vita decided to continue speaking.

“You kept coming at me, and at first I was honestly annoyed. But at some point… I ended up liking you too.”

Carlyle Schultz is bad.

Honestly, Vita thought that to some extent.

“Because you keep coming closer and shaking my heart.”

Because you always say kind and pleasant things to me.

At some point, I, who was fine, started becoming strange.

“So, take responsibility.”

Vita says with a slight smile on her lips.

Tears flowed from my eyes again, drop by drop. I hit my opponent’s chest with my two small fists.

“It’s because of you! You take responsibility for me!”

Because of that Carlyle Schultz guy, I became a woman.

And now Vita is irreversible.

The guy who made me like this must take responsibility, because I have no intention of doing anything with anyone other than Carlyle.

So, Carlyle responded to Vita’s demand to take responsibility by hugging her.

“… Yeah, I will. That’s why I proposed.”

Vita pouted her lips as Carlyle hugged her and said those words.

“That, that kind of thing… I see you do it.”

Carlyle Schultz sometimes has a hard time understanding the delicate heart of a woman.

‘Is this how you propose?’

Vita’s inner thoughts were all revealed in her expression.

Carlyle chuckled.

“It’s bouncing again.”

“… What do you mean bounce? ”

But I caught it with difficulty.

Vita and Carlyle, they both know.

So they laugh together and then become quiet again.

Maybe our relationship, the relationship between two people, is a little different than usual. Because it started out differently.

[Hey, get out!]

It definitely started with a fight in bed.

[I want to do it, with you.]

Maybe it really is.

It wasn’t an ordinary, ideal relationship.

Because we like each other, there is no deception.

Gradually liking each other, then one of them confessing, holding hands for the first time, hugging for the first time. That kind of ideal beginning, that wasn’t the direction.

Things didn’t flow that way between the two. In some ways, you could say it wasn’t pure love.

‘… That’s how it was until now.’

Carlyle Schultz thought.

But not all love can be pure.

Even a relationship that starts off innocently can end badly, and of course the opposite would also be true.

Yeah, this is it.

This is the answer that Carlyle Schultz recently came to after much thought.

“Bianca, us.”

To conclude, I hold her small and delicate hand and look at the sunset before it sets.

“Let’s start over from scratch.”

As a pure man and woman who only see each other, all past misunderstandings and worries are neatly forgotten.

“… Yeah, right.”

Knowing Carlyle’s intentions.

In the setting sun of the day of confession, Vita nodded.

In fact, I really wanted to keep doing that.

***

The story after that-

“Say it one more time.”

“Oh, really…!”

You keep bothering me.

After confessing to each other and wasting a lot of emotion, the two felt hungry.

“But I’m a little hungry… ”

“Do you want to eat something?”

“Just anywhere nearby?”

Afterwards, we went out to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

There are only couples here and there, wondering if it is indeed a confession day.

Actually, it feels unrealistic for both of them.

But, definitely.

In other people’s eyes, they will only look like lovers. It’s a little awkward to think that way, but it’s also good.

Vita actually did that.

It’s still a little cringey to think that Carlyle is her boyfriend, or that she’s Carlyle’s girlfriend.

‘But still…’

If you think of Carlyle and yourself as having a somewhat special bond, a relationship that binds you together.

Because it makes me feel good.

“I’ll give it to you, Bianca.”

“… Yeah, okay.”

Vita liked Carlyle’s words and immediately accepted.

It feels ticklish to walk while holding hands.

It would have been better if Carlyle hadn’t kept pestering me.

“Tell me you like it.”

Because you kept asking me to say it again just one more time.

Vita’s face turned red and she started grumbling.

“I told you earlier.”

“But I still want to hear it one more time.”

Ugh, really.

What should I say just now?

I was so moved by what the other person said that I was able to speak honestly because I was in a state of overwhelming emotions.

But now, isn’t he back to his senses? Even though he admitted his feelings, he was still embarrassed.

“Tell me, Bianca.”

Still, the other person’s request.

Vita glanced to the side and noticed something. The mischief lurking in Carlyle’s golden eyes.

That is, that is. The other person is doing that on purpose to see me embarrassed. They are teasing me.

‘… But this guy is real.’

Suddenly, Vita wanted to show an example to the other person. So, after hesitating for a moment, he eventually made a choice.

“Just tell me once?”

He gestures towards Carlyle.

When Carlyle bows after understanding the meaning of the gesture, Vita assumes the attitude of whispering in his ear.

Yeah, definitely.

If Vita hadn’t known that Carlyle was teasing her, she probably would have been too embarrassed to say anything.

But who is Vita?

The very embodiment of competitive spirit!

Because Carlyle Schultz stimulated Ammon’s competitive spirit, Vita tries to surprise his opponent in return.

So Vita confesses her true feelings to Carlyle in a quiet and elegant voice.

“… I like you, Carlyle.”

An unexpected attack causes the opponent to flinch for a moment.

Vita doesn’t stop there, he scoops up two more spoonfuls.

“So, from now on. Please love me a lot… ?”

In fact, he doesn’t even know what he’s saying. He just came up with something spontaneous, something that would be quite surprising to the other person.

‘Huh, what do you think?’

However, to this extent, Vita felt like she had dealt a blow to Carlyle, so she was satisfied.

But it seemed as if he had done something very wrong. Carlyle’s expression hardened into a serious expression.

“Really, I’m going crazy… ”

And then right away, Vita.

Carlyle’s large hand pulls her waist, and the two of them share a passionate kiss on the street.

“Mi, are you crazy…?!”

“Don’t provoke me.”

Of course, it was not strange for Vita, whose face turned red afterwards, to protest to the other person, and for Carlyle to laugh lowly and kiss her again.

Even though I actually protested.

It wasn’t strange that Vita was slowly getting more immersed in the kiss and even lifting her toes.

To both parties, to each other.

Because we have confessed our feelings.

So maybe from now on, things like this between the two of you will happen more and more often.

-Complete-

BONUS: A review of the final episode.

Hello. I am writer Jam Jam.

This concludes the main story of ‘Vita Won’t Give Up!’ with episode 75.

Actually, it’s only 75 episodes, but it’s 350,000 characters based on Novelpia. It’s about 100 episodes of a novel with an average of 3,500 characters.

Since the first day of the challenge on June 10th, I’ve written and uploaded close to 100 pieces in about two months. Looking at it this way, I think I really worked hard!

I wanted to write a TS pure love story with the feel of a full-fledged(?) Japanese light novel, a youth romantic comedy!

I don’t know if you guys enjoyed it.

I think I showed you through the latter half of the content why this work was ts tagged and why it was tagged as pure love.

In the end, as the main character Vita becomes aware of her feelings, the part about her sexual identity is dealt with with considerable weight. And it is dealt with seriously.

And I think I showed what I think pure love means throughout the last three episodes.

Anyway, I’m sure there are readers who really enjoyed it, right?

I think you’ve probably never seen a TS romance with a similar genre to this one.

If there had been, I probably wouldn’t have written this article after seeing it and being satisfied with it.

When I was writing my previous work, Romance Obsession, there were hardly any TS romance novels in Novelpia, and this time there were none either, so I felt like I had to dig my own well.

In the previous work’s new work trailer announcement, I said that this Vita and childhood friend story would be one of two candidates.

I think that the childhood friend story could have been much better in terms of popularity and grades, but I have no regrets.

I’ve already written a childhood friend story once in a previous work, and I wanted to try my hand at writing a tsundere female protagonist in a romantic comedy once.

Because I just like it.

I wrote it based solely on my desire to show the materials and characters I had in mind, and the readers’ reactions. I continued to gain strength from each recommendation you gave me, and each comment you left me. I’m also happy that I kept my promise to finish it regardless of the grades.

Anyway, the conclusion is.

There were many ups and downs while writing this piece. I got into a car accident, got gout, etc.

Still, I was able to run to the end thanks to the few people who read this article to the end and who have similar tastes to me.

thank you

I will keep the review short to this point.

Oh, but I think readers who really enjoyed this article might be curious about the side story.

I’ve been too tired lately to write a side story. I personally think it’s pretty neatly wrapped up.

I guess I’ll have to write it anyway, yes. I’d appreciate it if you could just wait a week.

Episode 5? Episode 10? No. It seems like it will be more than that. It won’t be that long, but I’ll come back next weekend with content and length that will satisfy you, the readers.

As a side note, I personally received a lot of help from author binibig while writing this article.

I really want to express my gratitude for the encouragement you gave me whenever I had a hard time, for taking care of my mental health, and for giving me a lot of advice regarding my work. Thank you, author.

The only novel I’m following on Novelpia right now is ‘The Daily Life of Professor Baek Woo-yu, Born in 1992’ by binibig. I think it’s a really good emotional TS novel, so I think it would be good for those who are interested to check it out.

Then, I’ll see you next week with a side story and epilogue!

And if you have any questions, please leave a comment.
