Chapter 155 – High School Girl, Im Im Hye 2

“I like you.”

That said, without warning and without mental preparation.
It popped out of her mouth without even going through her brain.
It came out like that, as the heart that filled her chest overflowed.

“Huh. Know.”

Shinhye smiled and said.

“Oh, you know?”

It was embarrassing that I had suddenly confessed without any mental preparation, but Shin-hye’s plain attitude made me even more embarrassed.
It’s not ‘like’ or ‘hate’, it’s ‘know’.
What does this mean? How should I take it

Watching me panic, Shinhye just smiled.

“Then you thought you wouldn’t know?”
“… Did you notice it?”
“Of course.”

I was ashamed.
She tried so hard to hide it.
In fact, you already knew everything.

“You’re the only one in our class who doesn’t know that you and I like each other, right?”
“Uh?”

Shin-hye’s words didn’t come into my mind at all.
You and me each other? Do you like it

“Me too. You. I like it.”

For me who can’t understand.
Shinhye cut off each word as she spoke.

Hyedo Shin.
Me.
I like it.

“Ah.”

I was just making stupid noises like that.

I’m happy, but I’m so happy, my reason couldn’t keep up with my emotions.
It seemed that the central nervous system was paralyzed.

“Because you like me too, and I like you too, then we’re dating from today, right?”
“Uh, uh, uh, yes.”
“Haha. What is that.”

Seeing me bewildered, Shinhye smiled happily.

“Ruler. Hand.”

Just like you treat your puppy.
Shinhye held out her palm in front of me.

But she didn’t feel bad at all.
She sincerely thought that it would be okay to be a dog.

I put my hand on top of Shinhye’s outstretched hand.
Shin-hye’s hand held for the first time.
Warm, soft.
I feel so good. Because the kind heart is transmitted as it is.
I just wanted to stay connected like this all day.

My body temperature rose as if I was holding a fireball.
My whole body was hot and sweat was pouring out.
Could it be that the shock was too great for my body to break down?
My only worry was that Shin-hye would feel bad because of the sweat on my hands.

“I… Shin Hye. Sweat in your hands…”

When I said it carefully, Shin-hye was startled and let go of my hand.
And she rubbed her own hand hard on her uniform top.
… Was it that bad?

“… Mi sorry Did you feel bad?”

However, it was rather Shinhye who apologized.
It was as if she thought I was offended because her hands were sweaty.

I waved my hand in embarrassment.

“No, it’s because my hands are sweaty…”

Could it be that Shinhye thought the opposite?
I induced them to hold hands as if playing lightly, but in fact, was Shinhye as nervous as I was?

At that thought, the nervousness that had been tightening her chest escaped.
Instead, happiness began to fill my heart.

Shinhye said She says she likes me too.
Now the reality of that nonsense story has arrived.

Shinhye likes me.
Accepted my confession.
It was the moment when the delusion became reality.
Ah. Will there be anything else that makes me happy?

“It’s Shinhye.”

This time, I mustered up the courage to hold Shinhye’s hand.
It was a small, soft girl’s hand.

Unlike before, when she was distracted by tension, she could feel the touch of her hand now that her mind had calmed down.
Just holding her hand
A feeling of happiness overflowed, as if enchanted.

Shinhye slightly turned her head away from her.
Is she shy?
Her pretty face was flushed red.

If I look in the mirror, I’ll probably be as red as Shinhye.
But I was more happy than shy.
My heart is full.
It was filled with happiness and seemed about to explode.

“It’s Shin Hye. I am so happy right now.”

How can I express this feeling?
I wanted to say something cool, but all that came out of my mouth were such obvious words.

“… Me too.”

Shinhye returned it with a short answer, but that alone was enough to light the lamp in my heart.

“I like you.”
“… Me too.”
“It was love at first sight.”
“… Me too.”
“I love you, Shinhye.”
“… Me too.”

Reveal all your hidden feelings.

I could feel the sincerity even in Shin-hye’s seemingly insincere reply.
Even if you don’t decorate it with colorful misayeogu, if you have sincerity in your words, the heart is conveyed to the opponent.
I was able to learn another thing from Shinhye.

“… Can I kiss you?”

Wouldn’t a man who asks such a question be cool?
But there’s no way a timid human like me could do such a thing recklessly.
I want you to know that just saying these words is a miracle.

“… Huh.”

The answer comes back quietly,
Shinhye turned her head towards me and closed her eyes.

Power went into the hands that held each other.
I could tell that Shinhye was just as nervous as I was.

I was so nervous that I held my breath even before we kissed.
Close your eyes, tremble your lips,
I kissed Shinhye’s lips.

Shin-hye’s lips touching mine were incredibly soft and hot as if they would melt.

It was only for a moment that our lips met.
The kiss with Shinhye left a heat on my lips that never went away.

“…”
“…”

After the first kiss.
We held hands in silence for a while.

It was as if there were only the two of us in the whole world.

* * *

The day I confessed to Shinhye.
Start dating Shinhye, hold her hand, and give her first kiss.
Even after that day when it seemed like the world was turning upside down, my relationship with Shin-hye hadn’t changed that much.

We greet each other at school every day, and when class is over, we stay at school and study together.
When it’s dinner time, we eat lunch, and when it gets dark, we hold hands and leave school and go home.

Where did the courage of the day I confessed go?
Since that day, I haven’t made any progress.

I didn’t have a nervous mind.
But I was in no hurry.
I was satisfied with the status quo.
Because I could tell that Shinhye liked me from every word she said, every action, and every look on her face.

It wasn’t that Shin-hye’s attitude suddenly changed.
It’s just something I haven’t noticed until now.
He likes me so much, how did I not notice it before?
I’m an idiot.

Shinhye and I had been having a healthy relationship like a student for a while.
After all, the student’s duty is to study.
Both Shinhye and I studied harder for each other.

And the final exam.
Both of us were able to achieve very good results.

“Seventh place! Wow!”

After receiving the report card for the final exam, Shinhye hugged me with a shout of joy.

I got 10 ranks higher than the midterm exam.
It was truly a lunar new year.

After all, Shinhye can do it.

“Congratulations, Shinhye.”

I calmly offered my congratulations, but my mind was already half gone.
My soul escaped my body at the touch of Shin-hye embracing me.

As I stood stiff, Shin-hye also quickly got away from me, perhaps realizing it only then.

The soft touch that pressed against my chest was gone.
Ah. I wanted to stick around a bit more.

But I didn’t have the courage to hug Shinhye.
Like a timid human being!

“It’s all thanks to the help of the seonhu. Thank you.”

Shinhye said belatedly, blushing as if she was embarrassed.

“Is it because Shinhye worked hard?”

My spirit still hasn’t returned.
I answered stiffly like a robot.

Shin-hye hesitated in front of me for a long time, then she took her words out with difficulty.

“… Seonhu, since I finished early today, would you like to go to my house and study? My parents came home late today…”
“At Shinhye’s house?”
“Huh…”

Shin-hye can’t meet her eyes.
Shinhye’s face turned red, and my face also turned red.

Shinhye is my girlfriend in name and reality.
I’m not so stupid that I don’t know what it means to have a girlfriend invite over to her house.

My heart was already beating.

“That, yes. OK.”
“Yes. Then finish and see.”

Shinhye waved her hand and she hurriedly left as if running away.
Because of her fair skin, it was also noticeable that the back of her neck was stained red.

I was staring blankly at her back.

Originally, it would be normal for a man to lead.
Because I was too passive, I made Shin-hye move first.
I felt sorry and grateful to Shin-hye for not abandoning such an ugly boyfriend and leading her.

Considering the average dating progress of high school students, we were already at a point where we could go all the way.
You don’t have to follow other people’s pace, but if you’re too late, you might make your opponent nervous.

I should have had more conversations like that with Shinhye.
It was my mistake that I couldn’t step forward out of shame.

By the way…
Am I going to Shin-hye’s house today?
… Go, what do you do?
How far should the pace go?

Is it this or that?
Hopefully until such a thing… ?

Even if you were invited to her house, if you act too passively, Shin-hye will be disappointed, and if you push too hard, your relationship with Shin-hye may be completely ruined.
Looking at the atmosphere, I had no choice but to respond improvisedly.

… Can I do it well?
It was a very difficult mission for me, who had never been in a romantic relationship before.
I was like a blind man who fell into a maze.

… No matter how much I think about it, I have only a disturbing feeling of foreboding.
I was determined.

* * *

After school.
I’m in Shinhye’s room.

“Uh, there…”

I came here with the excuse of studying.
For some reason, Shinhye and I were sitting side by side on the bed, not at the desk.
I didn’t even open the book bag.

“I… Are you a successor?”
“Huh?!”

I am so nervous that I am startled even when my name is called.
My heart was beating thump-thump.

“That… I, thanks to the seonhu, my grades have gone up… So… “

Shinhye was saying something, but because I was so nervous, nothing came through my ears.

Shinhye’s hand came up on the back of my hand.
Shinhye’s warmth melted my frozen hands.

“I want to repay the seonhu… I’m a student, so I don’t have money, so… If there’s anything you want from me, tell me. If I can… I will do my best.”

I swallowed dry saliva.
Lips were dry.

Just the two of you with your girlfriend, at your girlfriend’s house.
It is no exaggeration to say that what a man wants is fixed.

But, can I honestly say that to Shinhye?

“The grades went up because Shinhye worked hard.”

A man’s desire that is never clean.
If I were to be honest, I might be despised by Shin-hye.
At such an anxious thought, I say something out of my mind.

“I… I want to do it.”

I felt the heat in Shinhye’s hand, which gripped the back of my hand.
Shinhye dropped her gaze and was only looking at her own lap.

Her face was bright red, as if she already knew what I was asking for.

Shinhye did as much as she could.
Now it was my turn to answer.

Are you a man Are you prepared?
My girlfriend did this to me, but if she doesn’t accept it, she’s not even a man.
Wake up, Jinseonhu!

“That… Rum.”

When she opened her mouth, a dry voice came out.

“Please, can I?”

Numerous options popped into my mind.
Although the number of options was numerous.
All of those options were put in one category called ‘Naughty’.

“Huh…”

Shinhye nodded her head in a crawling voice.

Shin-hye would already know what I was asking for.

My eyes had been staring at Shin-hye’s big breasts for a while.
