Sweet Cohabitation Romcom With My Senior Girlfriend and Alcohol Starts At Twenty - Volume 1 Chapter 2.6

◇Interlude◇

“L-last night was too close…! I almost got swept away by Takashi-kun…!”

After a brief respite, my heart still racing, I took a shower alone to calm down.

Alone, yet beyond one or two walls is my beloved. The only boy I’ve ever loved.

Just thinking about him makes my heart flutter uncontrollably. There’s no time to rest.

But still, I wanted some time alone to calm down.

If I were with Takashi-kun now, I’d surely want to go beyond just kissing.

And yet, I can’t bring myself to feel like going to university. I don’t want to be away from Takashi-kun.

“I’ve really started to think about nothing but Takashi-kun, huh?”

I mutter to myself. It’s a life now filled with Takashi-kun, something unimaginable when we first met.

It’s just a crush, but still a crush. Once you’ve fallen, you keep falling all the way. It’s terrifying and unbearable to fall into the pit of love.

But now, there’s someone willing to fall with me. Someone to enjoy love with.

So, well… maybe that’s okay…?

“It can’t be helped? I’ve fallen in love.”

I voice my conscious feelings. Even as I try to stay calm, my love grows stronger.

Yeah, I think I’ve calmed down a bit.

“Alright, let’s keep the tension moderate and do our best today!”

I slap my cheeks firmly like preparing for a pep talk. It’s my usual routine, a habit to avoid showing any weakness to Takashi-kun.

Don’t we all want to be a slightly different version of ourselves in front of the one we love?

I think to myself as I finish taking a shower and tuck my hair to the right side of my head like I do when I meet him.
