CHAPTER 160- REQUEST FROM CRUSH

[Minoru's POV:]

It has been a while since I met her. The last time was before I went on a memorable trip with my family when I met Koori.

Of course, not as Minoru but as Kasumi.

It was a fun day. Koori had freshly broken up with Naoko and was feeling quite lonely.

Breaking and corrupting a pure and sweet girl like Koori was an exciting sensation.

Now just looking at her swaying ass was making me hard. 

However, I suppressed those feelings and followed her until we reached the stairs.

The classes were about to begin, that's why there weren't any students around—or this would have definitely seemed like she was going to confess to me.

As she turned to look at me...I was dazed for a moment.

Although I have met many people until now, many of them are drop-dead gorgeous, like Akane-san, Koori still makes my heart tremble whenever I look at her.

She was the only person other than Akisu who didn't think badly of me during the phase when I was surrounded by rumors.

The only girl who didn't treat me badly or pitied me. She treated me just like everyone else.

The reason why I fell for her was not only because she is such a bombshell. But also, because she has a kind heart.

So if such a girl needs help from me, I definitely would try to help her.

"Um...you were absent. Is everything alright?" Koori began, in a hesitant voice.

I told my parents not to reveal the news about my accident to the school, and Chinatsu saved my identity from getting leaked in the newspaper. It would have been quite upsetting and problematic for everyone to know.

That's why, I replied, "Just a common cold. What about you? Are you okay?" I asked casually.

She began fidgeting slightly, with her index fingers tapping against each other periodically. 

Cute.

"Umm...if I tell you something, will you keep it to yourself?" 

I was surprised but instantly nodded.

Is she going to confess that she cheated on Naoko with a hot futa or something? But last I remembered, we weren't that close for her to disclose such a secret to me. Then what ...

"I recently read Naoko's personal diary...I know I shouldn't have but I did. And...I found out, that he actually likes you."

Oh...so it was about Naoko. I was getting excited for nothing.

"Like...huh. Okay, so what should I do now?" I sounded just what I was feeling. Bored.

I don't really know what I should do about Naoko. The same guy who became my best friend, then betrayed me, is now infatuated with me? What weird pattern is this?

Koori seemed to understand that I wasn't much interested in the topic, so she hurriedly added, "I-I know he hurt you in the past ...but please, can you forgive him and move on? For me, please?" She suddenly hugged my hand between her soft one. 

My hand was inched away from those meat buns which were desiring to burst from the confines of her shirt.

Gosh, I wanna grab them.

Holding my urges, I told her, "Even if I forgive him, what exactly do you want me to do with him? Date him?"

If she really asks so, then sorry, Koori, even if you are my first crush, I won't be able to fulfill your promise.

However, "No, no! I won't force you to like someone and date them. It's just..." With her eyes drawn downward, she muttered, "...he doesn't generally open up to someone. Having such a complicated family, Naoko has to bear several responsibilities, and he is the only child."

Looking at me with those shining pink eyes, she asked, "So...can you share some of his burdens? I won't ask you anything unreasonable, just...please...try to be friends with him. Since I know what I failed to do as his girlfriend, you will definitely succeed in doing even as an acquaintance."

There was both self-mockery and defeat that I sensed in her voice. Poor girl. She needs some cuddling.

Anyway, since I somehow feel indebted to her, I didn't think twice before nodding, "If you say so, then sure, I will try talking to him."

A smile that can make both sides raise a white flag in a war ....yeah, that kind of smile appeared on Koori's face as she chimed, "Thank you, Minoru-kun. I knew I could rely on you."

I was expecting a hug with that excitement. But well, a hand squeeze would do for now.

"By the way, Koori." Just as she was about to release my hand, I held hers, bringing her attention back to me.

With my smile disappearing, I told her, "I have liked you..for a long time. But never felt the courage to confess, but I do now." 

Was it because of my powers? Or is it the experience with the women? I didn't feel anything while confessing my feelings toward the girl whom I have liked since my first year.

Koori's eyes widened; she seemed to be in great shock.

Did I never make her feel that I was attracted to her? Hmm~well, then she must be shocked.

Heaving a sigh, I said, "You don't need to feel burdened about it since I already know your answer."

Koori lowered her eyes, before shyly she muttered, "Sorry, Minoru-kun...but I like someone else."

Hmm? Still Naoko? Or is it Kasumi?

Just as a curious child, I read her mind and it turned out,

[Although I said I like someone...it isn't like Kasumi-san feels the same...she isn't even picking my calls.]

"...!" My eyes widened as once she walked away, I checked the other phone—only to find that indeed, Kasumi has received more than a hundred calls and texts from Koori.

'Guess, I need to meet the girl and soothe her anxiety.'
