A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
“K-Kaori?”
“Eh…..Serito…..? Serito !? A-are you really….!?”
Kaori, noticing me, quickly closed the distance and began to react as if she were seeing a ghost.
“O-oh. What’s the matter, did my fake one show up?”
“B-because ! You left a suicide note and went away !”
“Ah ! Oh, well, I think I did…..”
My crumpled and wrinkled suicide note was clutched in her hand. And the tears that had stopped for a moment began to stream down again.
Come to think of it, I forgot to put that away. I never thought Kaori would find it…….
“Ugh, ugh……! I’m sorry, Serito ! I won’t prank you anymore ! So please, don’t die ! !”
“E-erm…..!?”
Kaori hugged me tightly and held me so tightly that I could not pull away even if I tried.
Normally, I would feel some ill intentions, but it seemed like she was worried about me to an unusual extent, so I didn’t feel that way in the slightest.
“Well, in the first place, I’m not gonna die ! That’s a suicide note I wrote for fun a long time ago, so it’s okay ! !”
“Really…..? Are you sure…..?”
“Seriously !”
“Then why were you gone for two days and why didn’t you call me…..”
“I was at my grandpa’s house. I cut off contact because I was in countryside……”
“Ugh……guh, thank goodness…… I’m sorry Serito……! !”
Apparently the misunderstanding was cleared up, but she didn’t stop apologizing.
“I don’t intend to die. I’m sorry, Kaori, for making you uneasy.”
“Yeah…. I’m sorry too.”
“………Well, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it’s time for me to leave…….”
“No.”
I feel like her hugging power has gone up a notch. If she doesn’t let me go soon, I won’t be able to make it to school in time…
“I’m going to school… I don’t know if you’ve recovered from your illness or not, but just rest…”
“No ! I don’t want Serito to go somewhere again……”
“I mean, I’m going to school.”
“I’m going. I’m coming too.”
She finally let me go after saying that.
Well, it’s been a long time since I saw Kaori clinging to me, and I felt nostalgic.
I started to think about Kaori from the past, but I suddenly felt a shock that wiped away all of that.
“Okay.”
“Hey !? Why are you trying to change your clothes in front of me !?”
“H-hey, Serito ! Don’t try to go outside ! !”
I saw Kaori changing into her school uniform right in front of me.
I tried to rush out of the room, but she hugged me again and I could feel it directly.
“I’m just leaving the room ! It’s shameless ! !”
“Okay, then turn your back. Don’t leave the room, okay?”
“Y-yeah……? Okay.”
I didn’t think that that cheeky childhood friend had changed so much with just a suicide note ……
How am I going to explain this to Kaori’s parents? Her dad would probably go “take responsibility” or something.
Kaori is dressed and is ready to go again. Kaori, who had finished changing her clothes, hugged my arm again and wouldn’t move away. Her mother looked at me warmly, but I managed to get her to eat breakfast and start going to school. But…..
“Um… you’re worried about the way people look at you, right? So it’s about time.”
“Muu…..! !”
“Nothing.”
It looks like I won’t be allowed to argue with her today as punishment for making her worry.
“Hey Serito. I’m sorry for playing a prank on you until now.”
“Hmm? I don’t really care so it’s fine.”
“Hmm… Serito is really kind….I’ve been too embarrassed to say it until now, but I like that about you.”
“Hmm… Huh !?!? What do you mean by that…?”
“Come on, let’s go.”
In the end, is it ‘like’ as a friend or as someone of the opposite sex… We headed to school without her answering.

-Kaori’s point of view-.
Serito came back to me.
Apparently, the suicide note was something he had written for fun a long time ago, and that I was mistaken.
I was so deeply relieved that I unintentionally got my tears and snot all over Serito. I was so embarrassed.
While Serito was away, I had been driven to the point of thinking about dying, too. It was thanks to him that I finally realized what had happened.
I still love Serito after all.
“Serito.”
“Hm?”
I hugged him and felt his warmth.
“From today on, you must be prepared.”
