YO GUESS WHAT I AM FINALLY DONE
I'm feeling a bit awkward this after this long of not posting an update.
@kuro_808: NAAAAHH, as long as you read that's okay
well, about the conclusion on Rena, let's see if I'd actually do that omake I've been thinking all time LOL.
BUT ANYWAY. I'd like to thank anyone who has been waiting for this update so so so patiently. Took me months to finally able to update this
Bunch of gratitude to LoyalFlutist who have been a helping hand in various things and also some of my other friends that aren't a member here.
Let's not talk anymore and move on to the long-awaiting episode.
I present you Virgin Love episode 7
(I hope I'm not losing my touch
)
==========================================
Episode 7I am lying on my bed, gazing at the ceiling. The confession scene from earlier still lingers on my mind. I still remember the look on Yuki-san's face as he watched me leaving--the expression of his mixed feelings. I wonder if he caught the words I gave to him.
Suddenly my phone is ringing. I check to see a message coming from Rena-chan. It was a very brief one. Oh girl.
"Rejected. >_<~"
Sigh. Somehow I can understand her feeling so well. I decide to console her a bit.
"You have done what you could do, Rena-chan."
There, sent. It sounds cliche, I know, but better than nothing. She's probably crying right now so I hope it cheers her up a bit.
I raise myself from the bed, thinking of visiting Tomo~mi to tell her what happened today, when the door of my bedroom is opened and I can see who is coming.
"Tomo~mi…"
Tomo~mi comes to me and places herself on her bed beside me. She rounds her arm on my shoulder and gently massage it.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
I look down and let my fingers play with each other.
"Rena-chan confessed to Yuki-san today."
"I see. But he rejected her, didn't he?"
"He did."
Tomo~mi grabs my shoulders and make me face her eye-to-eye.
"Then why do you look so down?"
I can feel beads of tears forming at the corner of my eyes. I bite my lower lips as I try to hold the tears from flowing.
"Because of his reason... is what I have been thinking all this time."
Tomo~mi looks confused. "What reason?"
"His reason for rejecting Rena-chan."
"What was his reason?"
I tell her about his thought (which is the same as mine) that teacher-student relationship won't work in the public's eyes. Then I go on with the whole story of the confession. When I am done, Tomo~mi lets out a sigh and gently rubs my back.
“Let’s hope he got your message, then.”
I nod my head slowly and look at my best friend, who is now smiling and pats my head. She hugs me tight, before she releases me suddenly.
“Oh right, I almost forgot the reason why I came here.”
I raise my eyebrows from curiosity. “What was it?”
Tomo~mi grabs my hand and lets out a sly smile. “Since it's summer holiday, do you wanna go to beach tomorrow? Just the two of us.”
“Well, sure. But I don’t have bathing suits.”
The little devil chuckles. “You can just buy them at the shop near the beach anyway.”
Sigh. “Okay. Just wake me up tomorrow.”
***
“Masuda-kun~~~”
“Yes?”
"Catch me if you can~~~" says Tomo~mi to her boyfriend Masuda-kun while running through the waves of sea water. The athletic boy grins as he catches up quickly with his well-endowed girlfriend and pulls her into a hug from behind, to which she responds with giggles.
Meanwhile, I sit under the umbrella on my own--staring at the idiocy called teen romance: beach episode, acted by the little devil Tomo~mi and the cheery Masuda-kun. Sigh. I wonder why I believed her when she told me that there would be just the two of us. Idiot me.
“Tomochin~ come here!!” Tomo~mi calls me to join while playing water happily with Masuda-kun. I just wave my hand rejecting the offer then roll my eyes when they don’t notice. As if I have the heart to break my best friend’s lovey-dovey moment. Duh.
Since I have nothing to do beside staying below the umbrella, I decide to observe the people around my spot. There is an adult couple sitting not that far from me. They just sit next to each other, with the woman’s head on the man’s shoulder. So romantic. I become engrossed in observing this romantic couple until they start to get more intimate as I see the man rounds his arm around the woman’s shoulder while her arms wraps around his waist. Gulp. Why am I observing them again?
“Hey girl, I see you’re alone here.”
When I hear a stranger’s voice, I raise my head up to see a tanned guy who looks like a delinquent. The fuck. Is he hitting on me?
“Tomo, I’m sorry I made you wait for so long!”
Before I even open my mouth to let out rude words to respond to the stranger guy, I heard that familiar sounding voice so I turn my head to the origin of the voice and… I knew it.
“Ah, Yuki-san, finally!” I decide to act along and smile at the shy teacher.
“Tch. She’s with someone.”
The stranger finally decides to leave so I pull a tongue in cheek when he has gone far.
I turn to face Yuki-san. “Thanks a lot, Yuki-san. You saved me from unneeded argument.”
The face of the shy teacher was already pinkish from the heat, and it seems that I have added more red colour to his face. “D-don’t mention it,” he said embarrassedly.
There is an awkward silence between us afterward. I wonder if he is still affected by what happened yesterday. I decide to try to break the wall and start the conversation.
"By the way, what a coincidence to meet you here, Yuki-san."
"Y-yeah." is the only thing he says and both of us become quiet again. Hmm, what to say… Let’s see… He is bringing three bowls of shaved ice. He must be coming along with someone else.
“So, Yuki-san, you brought so many bowls of shaved ice. I’m sure you won’t eat all of them alone, will you?”
He finally smiles. “Of course not! My friends asked me to buy them earlier.”
Wait. His friends asked him, he said? What is he to his friends? A slave? Poor Yuki-san. I should help him.
“Ah, I see. Lemme help you bringing all of these, then.”
His smile grows wider. “Thanks a lot!”
I was about to raise my lazy bums when I remember that Tomo~mi asked me to take care of our belongings. Sigh. I guess I am a slave, too.
“Ah, Yuki-san, I’m sorry. I don’t think I can leave all this things behind without someone to look after it.”
"A-ah... I... see..." He glances at the bags behind me then looks back at me. There's a rather obvious disappointment there in his facial expression.
"See you later, Tomo," says Yuki-san as he walks away with two bowls of shaved ice on his hands. My eyes trail behind him, following his movement to see where his friends are. To my surprise, his friends are the adult couple I observed earlier. Like, seriously?! Aren't we so alike, being our friends’ third wheel, duh.
I sit back and notice there is still a bowl of shaved ice left. I wonder of he forgot about it or… Let’s not give myself a hope, okay. I turn my attention back to Yuki-san and his couple friends--observing them again. I want to know how Yuki-san acts around his friends.
Yuki-san seems to notice me observing him when he glances at the place where I'm sitting and quickly turn his head back to talk with his couple friends. I'm not sure what happens there but they turn their head to me and wave their hand at me while covering their mouth with the other hand so I just wave back with an awkward smile.
To my surprise, they decide to tag along with Yuki-san who is walking toward my direction. When they are coming closer, I'm very shocked to find out that the woman is actually the school's PE teacher, Miss Akimoto. She lets her hair down and set it wavy, giving her a sexy exotic look. Her dark blue bikini shows her naturally tanned skin and unsurprising well-toned abs. I didn't recognize her because she looks really different compared to how she usually is (she is usually in her jersey all day at the school). I look at her in awe as I let out a comment.
“You look stunning, Miss Akimoto.”
The tanned PE teacher giggles and thanks me for the praise. Then the smile on her face quickly turns into a sly grin as she observes my outfit. She nudges Yuki-san with her elbow playfully when she says,
“Kashiwagi, you have a good taste here.”
I don’t even need to see Yuki-san’s face to know that it has turned into tomato, just by hearing his reaction, which is similar to that one time when we had our tutoring session with Tomo~mi.
“W-w-what are you saying, Akimoto-san?!”
Miss Akimoto smirks to Yuki-san’s reaction. “Well, I heard from Kojima about you and…” She doesn’t finish her sentence but I can feel her discreet glance toward me so I sort of get what she means to say. Sigh. I better try to divert the topic.
“Miss Akimoto, I was observing you and your boyfriend earlier. You two were so cute!”
She glances at the tanned, muscular guy beside him and he gives a peck on her forehead. She blushes a bit as she introduces him.
"This is my boyfriend, Miyazawa Sai."
Miyazawa-san, who wears navy blue tank-top with white surfing pants, offers to shake hand as he winks. "Nice to meet you, Itano-chan."
"Ni-ni-nice to meet you, too, Miyazawa-san." I stuttered with my words. Damn! What the heck, Itano Tomomi?
Miss Akimoto isn't happy with her boyfriend's flirty behavior and sends him a glare while pinching his arm.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Sayaka, it hurts!"
"Don't you dare hitting on my pupil."
At that moment, strangely I feel a dark aura coming from Yuki-san. I must be imagining things because there's no way such a kind guy like him can exude that kind of presence, can't he.
It takes a little time for me before I realize how Miyazawa-san called me.
"Wait. Miyazawa-san, how did you know my name? I don't remember introducing myself to you."
He smiles, with a little winch as Miss Akimoto keeps on pinching his arm, as he points his thumb at Yuki-san and says,
"Well, I have heard a lot about you from this Kashiwagi here."
The mentioned shy teacher turns his face away, possibly from another wave of red flush on his cheeks again.
"A-ah, I see."
Miss Akimoto teases Yuki-san with some nudges to his arm while having huge grin on her face, when I hear my name being called.
"Tomochin!"
I turn my head to the direction of the voice and see Tomo~mi coming back with Masuda-kun, all wet from playing with water earlier. When Tomo~mi arrives, all of sudden she is stunned when she meets eye with Miyazawa-san. She glances at me before saying,
"M-m-may I know who are they?" While pointing at the direction of Miss Akimoto and Miyazawa-san.
Masuda-kun pinches his stunned girlfriend's cheek. "This person is Miss Akimoto, you know."
Tomo~mi pouts. "N-no, I mean the guy beside her."
Miyazawa-san laughs as he offers to shake hand with the couple. "Miyazawa Sai. Your teacher's boyfriend."
No good, I think Miyazawa-san is Tomo~mi's type. She doesn't even blink an eye when she looks at Miyazawa-san, complete with pink shades on her plump cheeks which I'm sure isn't due to the heat. Miyazawa-san can only smile cheekily before Miss Akimoto rolls her eyes and pinches him harder, making him groan from the pain. That will surely leave a mark.
"Anou... Akimoto-san, Miyazawa-san, please don't forget the shaved ice I've bought for you!"
Yuki-san, who has been silent for a while suddenly speaks out. The tanned couple stares at him with a similar smirk on their face.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, we shall go back to our spot." Miyazawa-san shrugs as he and Miss Akimoto turn their back to leave, but not before Akimoto-san taps Yuki-san shoulder and whispers something that makes the shy teacher jump a little and shakes his head panickedly.
Tomo~mi looks pretty disappointed with Miyazawa-san leaving so she drags Masuda-kun away again, leaving only me and Yuki-san standing at our place in an awkward situation. How can it be not awkward when the thing just happened yesterday?!
I decide to just sit down but Yuki-san seems hesitant. I look up and stare at him.
"Yuki-san, would you like to sit?"
Yuki-san still hesitates but decides to sit anyway--with a clear space between us, of course.
There is a long awkward silence between us, with no one having any idea how to strike a conversation. It feels so long before I decide to try and crack the wall between us.
I turn my head to see him as I utter the word “Anou..” right when he does the same thing--at the same time. We stare at each other for a while before we both look away-- again on the same time. I can feel heat getting on my cheeks as well as Yuki-san’s.
“Y-you can go on first,” says Yuki-san, placing his gaze on the beach sand.
“No-no, you first, Yuki-san.” I stutter with my words. What should I say… what should I say…
Yuki-san looks far far away to the sky. “T-the weather is nice, isn’t it…”
“Y-yeah…”
Oh, mother of cliche line. Again, the silence engulfs the air between us. Now that I am not as distracted as before, I decide to take a good look at the outfit Yuki-san is wearing. He’s wearing khaki pants with white sleeveless parka which shows his well-proportioned arms--not as muscular as Masuda-kun but not skinny either. He looks good, even though it feels kind of weird seeing him not in his usual tidy attires of shirts and trousers.
Oh, and it seems that he is doing the same thing as me--observing my outfit. Just for your information, I'm wearing a two-piece bathing suit. In other word, bikini. Pink colour as chosen by that damn well-endowed Tomo~mi. It's embarrassing, though, so I wear jeans shorts and black jumper over the bikini.
I glance over his face and I don't even know anymore whether the redness on his face is caused by the heat or he is just plain blushing.
"...tiful."
Hmm? Did I just hear something from him?
I turn my head to see him. "Yuki-san, did you say something?"
He's startled by my question and stutters on his words when he says, "B-beautiful..."
I raise my eyebrow--not raising my hope, okay. I doubt he has the courage to say it so I just go along with a "What is?"
The blushing teacher 's eyes take a glance at me before turning his face again. "Y-you........... see, the sea is beautiful, isn't it...."
EH, Yuki-san, did you just…
I turn my head to look at him as I say, “Really? I thought you meant something else..."
"E-eh?" It seems that my question startled him as he panickedly shakes his head. "W-what do you mean, Tomo?"
I let out a sigh. "Hmm~ nevermind."
And there goes the wall breaker. The silence between us is a total contrast with our noisy surroundings. I look around before I realize something. The shaved ice he forgot earlier.
"Anou, Yuki-san?"
"Y-yes?"
"I think you left your shaved ice here earlier." I extend my arms to take the bowl of shaved ice, which is already melted by now, and hand it to him
"A-ah, you're right. Thanks."
I look at the melted shaved ice, which still looks demanding even after it's melted. My gaze must have been fixated on it for a long time that Yuki-san stops eating.
"T-tomo? Do you want to taste it?"
Gulp. I glance at him with puppy eyes. "If it's okay with you..."
Yuki-san just let out a smile and offer the shaved ice. "Douzo."
I stare at the spoonful of shaved ice and gulp. Then I come to a realization... Isn't this practically an indirect kiss? And he doesn't even realize it, does he. That thought alone brings heat to my cheeks so I cover them with my palm. I look up and see Yuki-san still smiling.
Ugh, then I should...
"Then... I-itadakimasu." I let him feed me and feel the coldness of the ice as it is melted inside my mouth. At the same time, I really can feel the heat on my face. I mean, it was indirect kiss with Yuki-san. How can I not...
"How is it?"
His voice brings my inner self battle to an end and I hope he doesn't notice the blush on my face.
"I-it tastes good."
He smiles as he offers me another spoon of shaved ice, which I immediately decline because the thought of me and Yuki-san eating from the same spoon is going to blow my mind and I don't think I will survive.
I let Yuki-san finish the shaved ice and while he is eating, I lay my eyes on him. I hug my knees and rest my head on them. My thought walks back to Rena-chan's confession scene from yesterday and I let out a sigh. It seems that Yuki-san hears that and he puts the empty bowl aside. He looks straight to the front and asks me,
"Tomo, What's wrong?"
I follow his steps and look straight to the front. "Anou ne, Yuki-san... I..."
"Yes?"
"I want to tell you something..."
"What... is it?"
"It's about Rena-chan..." I pause and bite my lips as I hesitate. "She sought advice from me......."
Yuki-san is stiffened.
"I'm sorry I.. eavesdropped on... that scene. I just... wanna know the result." For my own sake, though, not for her sake.
"It's...okay."
Silence. I hope I'm not ruining everything. I really want to know what he is thinking now so I mutter the same thing I whispered to him from afar yesterday.
"I will wait... until the graduation."
He looks at me with surprised.
'To-tomo...?"
I hug my knees tight and hide my blushing face behind them.
"Did you say something?"
Sigh. He is playing dumb so I shake my head. "Nevermind."
My reply leaves him unsatisfied but I'm glad he doesn't chase me on it. I let out another sigh and do a little stretching on my stiffened body--I must have sit for too long time. I lay my hands on the side on my body after that and look around. I see, on one side, Tomo~mi puffing her cheeks then gets them pinched by Masuda-kun. I turn to the other side to see Miss Akimoto and Miyazawa-san cuddling intimately.
Ah.... I envy them. I wish my relationship with Yuki-san can be that simple.
I was drown in my own thought when I feel Yuki-san's hand on mine. I am surprised with what he is doing and glance to the side to see him staring at the sand with his cheeks turning pinkish. He seems like he wants to say something but it takes a while before he does. I patiently wait and when he does...
"I can wait."
His words warm my heart... and apparently my face, too. I let out a small giggle as I turn around and grab his hand (that is holding my hand) with my other hand.
"Thanks."
It seems that my words did reach him as he turns to face me with a smile while his face still looks like steamed lobster. We gaze at each other and... I feel like I'm sucked into his gaze. This feels like a replay of that scene in my bedroom.
My breath becomes a bit heavier and my heart pumps the blood faster to my already-flushing-red face. I hope I won't blow because this situation is surely playing with my head with the "k" word keeps on appearing inside my brain. No, no, that shouldn't happen.... is what I'm thinking, but without I realize it, my body slowly moves forward. And to my surprise, Yuki-san does too.The space between us slowly disappear and.. Holy.... his face is so close should I just...
"I don't think I left you two with all this sexual tension in the air, do I."
The teasing tone from the sweet voice of a certain little devil snaps me back to reality and so does Yuki-san. Both of us quickly create a space between us and the redness in our face is on the enormous level--realizing what we have almost done unconsciously.
The little devil's athletic boyfriend is looking at us with an amused face. "Wow, I never knew that you two are..."
"NOTHING." is our quick, simultaneous response to that statement before he even finished with it. It seems like we added fuel to the fire instead since Masuda-kun let out a playful snort and glances at Tomo~mi with the side of his eyes. I quickly stare at the giggling Tomo~mi and hope that she won't spill any beans regarding Yuki-san and me to Masuda-kun.
Masuda-kun just lets us escape with a shrug of disbelief and a totally smug face as he says, "Oookay."
Tomo~mi comes to me and taps my shoulder. “Anyway, Tomochin, I hate to ruin your lovey-dovey moment (I narrow my eyes and stare at her as I spout, “No, It’s not.”) but I think it’s time to leave.”
I look at my watch to confirm. Ah, she's right. We promised our parents to be at home before dinner so we really have to take off now.
"T-then, I guess I should go back to my friends as well." Yuki-san raises his butt from the mat and bows politely as he leaves, but not before the little devil Tomo~mi asks him to give her more information on Miyazawa-san, to which he refuses politely while taking a glance at the seemingly-oblivious Masuda-kun.
When Yuki-san walks away, he turns his back and waves his hand at our direction. I can see him smiling at Tomo~mi and Masuda-kun, but when his eyes meet mine, he looks extremely nervous (me too, actually) and both of us quickly look away. The scene from earlier is still fresh on our mind and sends another waves of red-blood cells to my cheeks.
Damn, an awkward episode has ended, now another awkward episode--with entirely different meaning--has started.
"Nee, Tomochin." Tomo~mi wraps her arms on my shoulder as she whispers.
I let go a sigh as I hear that teasing tone in Tomo~mi’s voice and roll my eyes. "What?"
The little devil smirks. "You know what to do when we arrive at home later, don't you."
Ugh, I should have known this is coming after she caught me red-handed on that embarrassing scene. I hope I can escape from Tomo~mi and her interrogation later as I shrug her off.
"Not. Happening."
