The air between them seemed to freeze for a long time.
A few minutes later.
"Ahem, the exercise just now was actually basic..."
Kitahara Sosuke guiltily avoided Kotoha's gentle gaze. Oh no, this girl is as cute as an angel.
"But I think Kitahara-kun is just teasing me..."
Kotoha pouted slightly. The girl wasn't actually that opposed; if Kitahara-kun liked it this way, it wasn't impossible…
"No, not at all." Kitahara Sosuke shook his head guiltily, then switched to a serious tone, "Then let's move on to the next step."
"What's the next step...?"
"Close your eyes first," Kitahara Sousuke said softly. "It might feel better that way."
"Um, Kitahara-kun..." Kotoha looked at him uneasily, "Special training or—"
"No problem, trust me."
"...Okay, sure."
The words "Trust me" seemed to possess a magical power. After a brief hesitation, Kotoha responded to Kitahara Sosuke's request with her actions and obediently closed her eyes.
"Please be patient with what follows. If you can't handle it, just say so and I'll stop immediately."
"..."
Kotoha didn't say anything, but just nodded stiffly. She could more or less foresee what was going to happen to her, but she didn't know how far Kitahara Sosuke would go.
However, out of trust in the latter, and due to some unspeakable girlish thoughts, she obediently did as she was told.
I want to overcome my fear of men, I want to stop worrying my parents and Katsura, I want to be with Kitahara-kun...
Kitahara Sosuke sat down next to the girl and slowly leaned closer. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the girl's face was indeed flawlessly beautiful. Her smooth skin was without a single blemish, and her eyelashes were long with a natural curve, but they were trembling slightly now.
Perhaps she felt uneasy? Or perhaps she sensed Kitahara Sosuke's presence; the girl's breathing gradually became rapid.
"..."
Kitahara Sosuke silently reached out his hand, and the moment his fingertips touched Kotoha's face, the girl's body instantly stiffened.
"Relax a little."
Kitahara Sosuke tried to soften his tone as much as possible to comfort the other person.
After another long internal struggle, Kotoha finally relaxed her body, but her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling as if she were waving to Kitahara Sosuke.
Suddenly it felt like kissing the girl's eyes...
The sight of Kotoha being picked by him made Kitahara Sosuke swallow hard. He had only wanted to help Kotoha overcome her psychological barrier in a normal way, so why did it suddenly turn into such an ambiguous atmosphere?
Among the girls he knows, besides Marina, only Kotoha has a personality like his, who would unconditionally follow every single one of his commands, regardless of right or wrong.
Thinking this, Kitahara Sosuke reached down with his left hand and gently grasped Kotoha's waist... So slender, this must be what they mean by "too delicate to hold".
The girl's body, which had finally relaxed, immediately tensed up again. Kotoha suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the other person. The distance between the two was so close that Kitahara Sosuke's entire field of vision was suddenly filled only with the girl's pretty face.
Katsura Kotonoha was in the same situation. She paused slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked ahead, leaving only her beautiful profile for the other person to see.
"Is this also part of the special training?"
The girl's voice was as gentle and soft as ever, with a hint of indescribable emotion in it.
This pose is exactly the same as those couples on TV...
“Uh, no…” Kitahara Sosuke gently released the girl, the soft touch on his hand disappearing, leaving him with a sense of loss. “I’m sorry, I overstepped my bounds.”
are you angry?
Damn it, I suddenly got a little carried away.
Taking advantage of the girl's trust to act recklessly, isn't he no different from someone like Makoto Ito? In the end, they might even end up the same way.
"No, it's okay, I understand..."
Kotoha gently bit her cherry blossom-like lips. Although her body was still trembling slightly, the girl's eyes were resolute.
"Because we're not just ordinary friends, we might have boyfriends, husbands, or something like that in the future... So, I have to start practicing now. So, if the person I'm imagining is Kitahara-kun... it's okay."
Now it was Kitahara Sosuke's turn to be at a loss. The girl's words had made her feelings very clear. If she wasn't really willing, how could she not resist the idea of her boyfriend's special training?
"I... I know that Kitahara-san, Hoshizuki-san, and Yomo-san are close friends," Kotoha said, her expression darkening slightly as she spoke of the two girls. "It's just special training. Kitahara-san was helping me. I won't tell anyone..."
Even if it's just for a little while, I want to get a little closer to Kitahara-kun, even if it's just under the guise of special training...
A deep tenderness filled Kitahara Sosuke's chest, prompting him to hold the girl tightly. Without fierce resistance, Kotoha quietly nestled in his arms.
Kitahara Sousuke admitted that when he first received Katsura's message, he was actually just teasing the girl in a joking manner.
He didn't realize that he had gotten carried away and crossed the line. When he came to his senses, the girl had already shown him her most passionate feelings in the most humble way.
What should I do?
Kitahara Sosuke leaned forward and gently pressed Kotoha down onto the chair.
"..."
"..."
They were in more complete contact than ever before, so close that they could exchange breaths and even smell each other's shampoo... no, it should be the faint fragrance emanating from Kotoha herself.
Kitahara Sosuke slowly moved his face closer to the girl's, her beautiful face almost touching his. Her pale pink lips now seemed to possess an irresistible magic; if he moved just a few more centimeters, they would be in full contact.
When their eyes met, Kotoha, who would usually flinch away like a frightened animal whenever she caught a glimpse of a man's gaze, mustered the courage to look him seriously in the eyes for the first time.
"It will be very tiring in the future."
"It's ok."
"They might even suffer a lot of injustice."
"It's ok."
"I regret it now..."
Kitahara Sosuke could no longer speak, because the girl beneath him was biting her lip tightly, and tears were beginning to well up in her eyes.
"Kitahara-kun, do you hate me that much?"
"no……"
Yes, the girl has already smashed everything in front of him, including her most precious status and self-esteem, yet she is still hesitating...
So Kotoha has such a resolute personality?
Kitahara Sosuke lowered his head and kissed Kotoha's eyes.
Indeed, tears of grievance are bitter...
Chapter 196 Interaction
After the eyes came the nose, and Kitahara Sosuke followed Kotoha's smooth skin from top to bottom, finally landing on the girl's cherry blossom pink lips.
The girl's body, which had been trembling slightly, froze completely the moment her lips were touched; her tension and fear vanished without a trace.
It feels so reassuring...
a long time,
Their lips, which had been pressed tightly together, slowly parted, leaving a thin, crystalline line between their teeth before snapping in an instant.
Somewhat bewildered, Kotoha looked as if she had just woken from a dream, the two maintaining this warm...
They stared at each other in ambiguous poses.
"Kotoha," Kitahara Sosuke finally broke the silence, "I'm sorry..."
"Hmm... how should I put it?"
Why apologize? The girl's heart sank. Had she just upset Kitahara-kun? If it was because of her tongue or something… next time, she could…
"I……"
"It looks like the special training is going to fail."
Kitahara Sosuke shook his head with a heavy heart.
"Eh?"
Kotoha looked at the boy who was hugging her, confused, and tilted her head.
So you weren't dissatisfied with yourself before? But why would Kitahara-san say that? You had tried your best to persevere before Kitahara-san did something bad.
"I suddenly feel that things are pretty good like this." Kitahara Sosuke gently touched the girl's rosy cheek, a slight smile playing on his lips. "A Kotoha who belongs only to me, isn't that wonderful?"
"That kind of thing..."
"Just kidding, anyway, the special training will continue."
Kitahara Sousuke said solemnly, although he felt that it might not be of much use anymore, and he didn't know why Kotoha wasn't afraid of him. This situation probably couldn't be replicated.
"Actually, if Kitahara-kun doesn't care about my illness, then it's fine..."
It's okay, as long as Kitahara-kun is here, it doesn't matter who else is here. Katsura Kotonoha suddenly recalled Katsura Shin's innocent words—"My sister's illness just doesn't work on Onii-chan, we must be a match made in heaven."
Kitahara Sosuke was taken aback by her words. It was just a joke, but he didn't expect to get such a response from the girl.
He carefully examined Kotoha's expression again and concluded that the girl was indeed thinking about this problem very seriously.
Did we underestimate Kotonoha's "loyal dog" nature? It's true, this girl only needs a little bit of "love" and she will throw herself into it without hesitation, like a moth drawn to a flame.
In the original story, she was naive and gave everything to the person she loved most, but she didn't get anything she needed. She even paid a price for that person that she shouldn't have had to pay. She lost everything, including her body, mind, and dignity. She had nothing left.
Helpless, she was still waiting for that person's help, that person who hadn't even given her a second glance. Perhaps she already knew she had made a mistake, but at this point, she had no other options, no way out...
So Kotoha could only silently hope and wait for a miracle to happen. But the miracle never came, and the girl, unable to bear the cruel reality any longer, finally broke down.
This kind of thing should never happen again.
