“Good job everyone!”

After lunch, there was a closing ceremony right after the exams were graded. The homeroom teacher spoke to everyone from the podium.

“It’s practically over now?”

The end of school life! Maybe a new beginning.

The sound of applause and cheers are heard together.

‘It’s really over now…’

It’s a new feeling because Vita is also like that.

The end of my long, long school life is finally in sight.

Graduation is still a while away, but now everyone will finally be able to leave their student status behind and enter a new society.

It doesn’t feel real at all.

‘… Am I becoming an adult too?’

Vita, who was lost in thought, felt someone tapping her arm next to her.

“So, Bianca! Where are you going? With your husband.”

Another story about the husband.

Vita licked her lips at Sasha who was whispering to her and then just laughed in vain.

It would be easier to give up.

Now, he is no longer a student, but a true adult. When he graduates, of course, now that he is an adult, there will come a time when he will get married.

‘If that happens, the other person will…’

Obviously Carlyle Schultz.

I don’t like anything but Carlyle.

So there is nothing wrong with what Shasha said.

I can’t imagine it yet, but it seems like a distant future.

Vita can’t imagine a relationship with any other man than Carlyle. Surely, someday, Carlyle will become her husband…

‘Me, my husband…!’

Then you are his wife?!

Carlyle and himself are a couple?! Someday they will have children and live together for the rest of their lives?

‘Ugh… ‘

Vita’s head is spinning.

Honestly, I don’t really hate it that much, I actually like it a little.

Vita answered quietly, her face slightly red from the aftereffects of just imagining things.

“They said they were going to the aquarium.”

“Oh- this feels like a perfect classic-!”

It’s me who’s dating, but Sasha is more excited.

The place Carlyle suggested they go was the downtown aquarium. In fact, Vita liked being home alone, but she also liked Carlyle’s plan.

“There’s no better place for a first date.”

“That, that’s right… ?”

“My boyfriend has a good sense.”

Well then, who is it!

The corners of Vita’s mouth slightly rise at Sasha’s praise.

Yeah, that’s right.

‘That Carlyle Schultz…?’

A guy who will do anything if you just foolishly trust him. So, it must be something you trust and rely on. He really becomes something you can rely on. He’s just so great.

To Carlyle Schultz, she is now his girlfriend.

‘Me, my girlfriend… ‘

Vita is finally realizing it. She feels it in her body as she is about to go on her first date.

‘Well, but…’

Naturally, Vita naturally developed a desire.

If you’re going on a date, you want to look good to the other person.

So Vita hesitated, hesitated for a very brief moment, and then made a big decision.

‘I decided to accept it.’

So this is correct.

I still have many shortcomings in many ways, as a woman.

So Vita gathers her courage and whispers to Sasha.

-… You know, Sasha. Can you help me?

“Me, what?”

-Since it’s our first date, I want to dress up.

I feel so embarrassed that my hands are about to cringe, but this is my honest truth.

-But I don’t know how to put on makeup at all. So you’re a little…

Feminine and pretty. To make it look that way, you need Sasha’s help.

I still feel confident when it comes to wearing clothes.

“Wow, what the…?”

Shasha smiled faintly. Vita felt a little embarrassed, but did not avoid eye contact.

Sasha also whispers in case Carlyle hears.

“Our Bianca finally decided to get dressed up? Because of her boyfriend.”

“No… that’s it.”

To be honest, it was true, but I felt embarrassed for no reason. My face quickly turned red and I lowered my head.

“Don’t tease me, Shasha… ”

“Hehe, okay. Of course I should help!”

Still, thanks to my courage, I was able to get Sasha’s help.

In the after-school academy lounge. Out of curiosity, Vita asked Sasha.

“But do you always carry cosmetics with you?”

“Well, right? Simple things, I guess. Emily would probably do that too… ?”

It was a natural conversation. Emily’s name came up.

The three of them used to hang out together often.

“Ahaha… mistake.”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

But Vita can’t respond to Sasha’s words.

In fact, even Vita herself thought of Emily when she put on makeup.

Luckily for both of them, the makeup had just been finished.

“Is this all for makeup? I did my best.”

“Oh, pretty… ”

It’s no exaggeration, really.

Vita thought about learning makeup someday, even though it was awkward.

“Uh, um… I wonder if I can learn it too… ?”

Sasha giggles.

“If you keep doing it, it will increase quickly. It won’t be possible today, but I’ll let you know slowly sometime.”

“Thank you, Shasha. You are truly the only one.”

“Hey, what… ”

It was inevitable that I felt depressed, but even so, when I parted ways with Sasha, we parted ways with a smile on our faces.

***

The distance I returned alone was the distance I sent Carlyle first.

Vita comes to mind again.

It’s not a mistake. It’s not anyone’s fault.

It is said that the relationship between Emily and himself has become estranged.

Actually, Vita had already had a one-on-one conversation with the person last week.

We ran into each other in the hallway, and I hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to him.

-Oh, hello… It’s been a while, Emily.

-Ah, Bianca…

It was awkward between them. They both felt it, but Vita just had something to say to the other.

-Thank you at that time.

Because Emily gave her letter to Carlyle, and she knows the butterfly effect of that letter.

-No, it’s not really… anything to be thankful for. I’m just glad that it was resolved well.

With that answer, Emily smiled vaguely. Then she spoke again with a complicated expression.

-… Yeah, I’m serious.

And then the silence followed. In the heavy atmosphere, Vita mustered up her courage and spoke.

-Yes, Emily.

Was it too much to ask? Was I being selfish? But I wanted to convey my sincerity to the other person.

-But will I ever be able to be close with you again like before?

Emily hesitated for a while and then gave an ambiguous answer.

I know what you mean, but it takes some time.

Vita had no choice but to agree with that person.

Surely, as Emily said, it might take time to get back to how things were before. It might not be possible to go back to how they were before at all.

But one thing is certain, it’s not anyone’s fault, and there’s no ill feelings between us.

Vita just believes that they can become friends again.

But for now.

For Vita herself, nothing else mattered more than anything else right now.

A date with Carlyle.

This is the most important thing.

‘Yeah, that’s right…!’

It is definitely not good to feel depressed.

‘I’m going on a date… with that Carlyle guy at that.’

It doesn’t feel real anymore. It feels like I’m dreaming.

After the math trip.

Vita had to admit that she liked the other person, Carlyle Schultz. But she was sure that there would be no future for them and the other person.

‘…because that’s impossible.’

I tried to ignore it. I tried to give up. But it just didn’t work, so I tried to struggle. To my surprise, Carlyle did the same, and their struggles created this sweet dream.

I never thought Carlyle and I could have this kind of relationship. But right now, Vita is just good. My heart is pounding.

If I think about it, I did go on something that could be called a date once before.

When I went to Wisney Park with that Carlyle guy. But even then, Vita herself was still in denial.

‘You definitely didn’t like it until then…?’

I think I liked it, but I also think I didn’t like it.

So, strictly speaking, this is my first date, my first time as a couple.

Lover, date. These two words resonate well.

Tiring-

Suddenly, Vita checked her phone at the sound of a notification.

-I’ll wait at the fountain.

Carlyle’s expression, which had been calm for a moment, brightens at the sight of his letters.

All the gloomy feelings I had until just now have disappeared.

-Oh, last time there? When you went to Wisney Park?

-Yeah, there.

It feels tense with about forty minutes left.

Vita returned home and hurriedly got ready.

‘I already put on makeup…’

My head and body are busy. Should I just quickly change my clothes?

“That’s right, underwear… !”

I usually wear comfortable cotton underwear, but today I feel like I need to be more careful. Last night, Vita prepared a pair of underwear in advance.

“Ah… ”

While changing her underwear, Vita suddenly let out a sigh.

‘I had a strange feeling…’

My underwear is a real mess. It’s probably because I was with Carlyle at lunch earlier.

“Let’s die, we have to die… ”

With a blush on her face, she quickly threw her naked underwear into the laundry basket. She put on the underwear she had prepared the night before. At least, it was the most mature and fresh-looking underwear she had.

Over it, slowly draped is a checkered beige skirt and a light pink knit tee.

Finally, a feminine ivory cardigan.

Vita has a certain sense of fashion. Even Emily and Sasha have acknowledged it before.

[The clothes are untouched.]

Having heard such comments, I think I might have a talent for women’s fashion.

In fact, if Vita were to have a girlfriend, assuming that.

I imagine how my girlfriend will look when she dresses up and then I put on clothes.

‘In times like these, my experience as a man helps me out in some way.’

I really think so.

Finally, the beret.

I feel a little more confident wearing a white beret.

‘Maybe I’m a little pretty…?’

Vita thinks to herself. Right now, only her clothes are like those of a heavenly woman.

I feel secure wearing the necklace and ring that Carlyle gave me as a gift. In fact, I have never taken the necklace and ring off my body these days. I even wear them when I shower.

Chick- Chick-

-This smells so good! If you were a man, you’d probably go crazy for it.

I’m not sure if that’s true, but I also spray some of the subtle perfume my friend Sasha lent me.

After finishing all the preparations, Vita looked at the mirror and encouraged herself.

‘Yeah, okay…!’

This should be enough.

My heart is already pounding –

I put on a pair of brown leather shoes and leave the house feeling refreshed.

However, Vita, who had actually gone down like that, was shocked.

“Ka, Carlyle…?”

In the meantime, Carlyle, who couldn’t wait a moment, came to the front of the house. It seems he came early after telling me to come to the fountain.

They are both speechless at the sight of each other.

Carlyle in the form of Vita, and Vita in the form of Carlyle.

***

So pretty, really.

It’s so pretty I’m speechless.

‘… … ‘

Carlyle was left speechless.

Reddish blond hair that shines brilliantly in the cool autumn sunlight.

Clear and white skin, rich and deep eyelashes. Slightly red cheeks are as fresh as newly bloomed flower petals, and moist lips are like a luscious red apple.

The white beret is cute. The checkered beige skirt is full of an innocent feeling, and the light pink knit tee and ivory cardigan give off a feminine feel. In front of you is a woman who makes men’s hearts flutter just by looking at her.

Standing before one’s eyes.

“Ka, Carlyle…?”

Even the embarrassed expression, the amethyst necklace hanging on her delicate neck, and even her eyes that sparkle even brighter than the necklace. Everything is cute and pretty.

“Ah, Bianca… ”

It’s become hard to wait. I try to say it, but it feels like it won’t come out. I used to feel impatient even waiting for a moment at the fountain, but now that impatience is nowhere to be found.

Of course I expected it.

If you look at it one way, it’s clearly the first date.

My girlfriend Bianca has been so cute lately.

Even though she was a cold cat, she always kept her distance, but the distance that had remained until then had completely disappeared. When she came into his arms, she was cuter than a puppy.

Bianca admitting her feelings was so destructive.

She’s become more aegyo-like and expresses her affection more. She’s become more feminine.

“Why did you come here…?”

Even now, she was speaking to him with a shy smile. Carlyle’s heart was trembling. It was as if his heart was going to burst, like some rookie’s.

“Just because I wanted to see you… ”

But he is always watching his opponent.

But strangely enough, even if you take your eyes off of someone for just a moment, in that moment, the other person becomes so mature and pretty that your heart starts pounding.

In fact, Vita’s position was not much different.

Thump- thump-

My heart is almost beating.

When I saw Carlyle, my hair turned white.

I liked Carlyle Schultz. I liked his affectionate personality. I liked how he was considerate.

But Vita realized it again.

‘This guy was originally like this…’

Are you so damn handsome? I don’t know if you’re a nerd.

But objectively speaking, Carlyle Schultz was handsome. There was a reason he was popular with so many women.

To look that good in a long black night coat, you first have to be tall.

In fact, Carlyle is quite tall, with Vita barely reaching the nape of his neck. His shoulders are also very broad.

There is a gray knit T-shirt inside the black night coat. The pants are black cotton pants. Vita already knows how warm and dependable it is to be held in those large arms.

Gulp-

So, the saliva goes down.

***

Carlyle was a cool guy. He had short black hair that he didn’t seem to care about, and he had the bad boy type eyes that women usually like. So, he had a slightly chic and cold look in his eyes.

But now, the other person’s vivid golden eyes are only in his field of vision. He can see the deep affection contained within them. So, he feels his body shrinking.

‘I came because I missed you…’

You couldn’t stand it? Thinking about it like that, hehe, I can’t help but laugh. Since her head was a little complicated because of Emily’s thoughts just now, Vita ran to the other person and hugged him.

What a stupid kid.

If I had foolishly waited, I would have gone to the fountain.

Still, it’s really good.

“… Why, why did you come here. Just wait there.”

But when he actually says it, it sounds like he’s criticizing someone.

Carlyle held his breath at the overwhelming scent. But his girlfriend running and hugging him was cute.

So, we hug each other and a smile appears on our lips.

“… You are so pretty today.”

Bury your head in the nape of his neck.

“… The scent is also very good.”

Vita felt as if she was flying at Carlyle’s words. Not knowing what to do, the corners of her mouth went up like an idiot.

“That, that’s right… ?”

The effort was worth it.

I pretend not to care, but my heart is pounding. I really need to buy Sasha something delicious later.

Even though I made that resolution, I still felt helpless.

I love Carlyle so much. I’m glad you said I was pretty. I really love him so much that I can’t move.

‘Just let time pass like this…’

I wish it would stop. But I have to date!

“Then, shall we go…?”

So, when Vita spoke, Carlyle also seemed to be feeling regretful.

“Honestly, I feel like… I want to lay you down right now.”

Vita’s face turned red as she knew what it meant. She pinched Carlyle’s side, clearly feeling the same way to some extent.

“Ah, a little… ”

Carlyle chuckled and then grabbed her hand.

And because it’s so natural, it makes Vita hold her breath from the ticklish feeling.

It means something so good that it makes you hold your breath for a moment.

‘Your hands are really big…’

Carlyle has big hands. Maybe it’s because I’m a woman and my hands are small.

Anyway, that fact is not important now.

“Are you going to take the bus…?”

“No, taxi. I don’t want to make you stand.”

“Ah, uh.”

Vita nodded.

All of Carlyle’s thoughts are focused on me, so I don’t hate it. On the contrary, I like it very much.

That’s probably why.

If another man were to hold her hand like this, she would feel offended and push it away.

But I think it’s okay if it’s that guy Carlyle.

‘So, this is…’

This must mean that Vita herself has become a woman, only to Carlyle Schultz.

Vita thinks she’s lucky to be like this. She thinks she’s lucky to have the affectionate Carlyle as her partner.

“Look forward to it, Aquarium.”

“Don’t expect too much.”

“Why, aren’t you confident?”

“I’m always confident. But it still hurts a little when you’re disappointed.”

“No, not at all. That probably won’t happen… ?”

A smile is slowly beginning to appear.

‘If I were with you, Carlyle…’

I like anywhere, even if it’s not an aquarium.

Even if it’s not a fancy date, it’s nice to be together.

So, just by being with the other person, Vita would naturally smile and feel happy.

Truly, Vita is just enjoying this moment right now. Because of Carlyle Schultz holding her hand.

Soon the two arrived at the downtown aquarium.

“Wow-”

Vita let out a small exclamation at the sight unfolding before her eyes.
