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
-Kaori’s Point of View-
“……What should I do?”
–It was the day of Valentine’s Day.
Akira helped me to make fresh chocolate cookies for this day, but I couldn’t give them to Serito.
In the past, I had been too embarrassed to give them to Serito, and I had been too sad to eat them myself after the day had passed, but this year was different.
Akira had helped me and I was confident of the taste. However, it is a bit……itchy….and awkward to give it only this year, even though I didn’t give it every year…..
“Haa…. Fuyuki already gave it to him, and I have to give it to him as soon as possible……”
The boys in the school were all in a frenzy today, and they had their hands full trying to deal with the ones who tried to interfere with Serito.
And then school ends without me being able to give him the chocolate.
“Ah…..today was a disaster……”
“It was a pain in the ass to deal with.”
“How many people did you send to the infirmary today? Well, all of them were in good health because they were all pushing pressure points…..”
On the way home, I was chatting with Serito as we made our way home. I didn’t give him any chocolate. I kept getting closer to the house and finally arrived at Serito’s house.
If I miss this opportunity, I think I will probably run away again next year. But if there is something more to push me…..
“See you tomorrow.”
“Wait–”
–Thud.
As I reach out my hand, the packet of raw chocolate cookies I had made from my bag spills out and falls to the ground.
“Ah…well, this is….I was thinking maybe I’d eat it when I got hungry…”
Even though no one had asked me any particular question, that excuse just came out of my mouth.
“I see. Well, it’s Valentine’s Day today. I guess I’m hungry.”
“I-I know, right ! !”
I took a cookie out of the wrapper and nibbled on it. The sweetness spreads in my mouth, but my heart is still bitter.
I took the time to make something delicious, and even though I had someone help me out on their day off, I can’t give it to him… No, that’s not good after all. I need to get rid of that awkward feeling.
“…………. I’m sorry, that’s a lie. I made this for Serito, so please accept it….or rather, accept this ! ! !”
“!? Y-yes ! Erm…..may I eat it ……?”
“If you want to, eat it ! !”
“Moggah !!?”
Instead of taking a new piece out of the wrapper and throwing it into Serito’s mouth….I shoved what I originally had in my hand into his mouth.
“… Mmm, um, delicious.”
“R-really !? Ehehe, I’m glad…”
“But this……was your meal…”
“……? Hm? ………..Ah !!?”
Serito was slightly flushed, and for a few seconds.
I had a little too much momentum and gave him an indirect kiss……!
“Oh, uh…..then, double it for White Day !”
“Um, ah, okay. Got it. Don’t fall over, okay?”
I left the place with a dash and ran to my house at a breakneck speed.
“Oh, you’re back now. Welcome back, Kaori. Your face seems a bit red…are you okay?”
When I got home, I found my dad dressed as he would have been just now.
I can’t see my own face so I don’t know, but it seems my face is so red it could be mistaken for a cold.
“No,……well, I gave Serito some Valentine’s Day chocolates……I made him eat the one I was about to eat……”
“Oh, really ! Good job ! ! !”
“I’ll stay in my room for a bit…”
I slowly climbed the stairs, holding my face, while my dad was muttering something under his breath.
“…No, wait. So it’s only an indirect kiss so far…?! I thought for sure they’d gone further than that…. You’ll definitely get Serito kun, Kaori ! Hey, are you listening to me?”
He was shouting something at me, but I couldn’t quite make it out as it went from one ear to the other.

“……But these raw chocolate cookies are really good. But this taste, I sense something similar to the food Akira kun made.”
When I returned home, I muttered such thoughts while eating the Valentine’s Day chocolate (?) that Kaori gave me in my room.
Akira kun, you are the MVP……!
“I mean, she’s too tense….!”
I threw another cookie into my mouth and thought back to what I had just said.
When I was younger, I didn’t mind indirect kisses at all, but at this age, it’s embarrassing. Since I hit puberty, we haven’t had much communication apart from pranks, let alone indirect kisses.
Well, I’ll put the lid on this memory and put it away in the wardrobe of my brain, because I got to see something good.
“…..Hmmm, I thought February 14 was a day for nothing, but I got four today. What should I do in return…..”
Sarina chan, Kaori, Fuyuki, and even Akira kun.
They all looked homemade, so I wondered if I should make some too? But they say making sweets is hard…
“…I’m sure Akira kun can solve everything.”
I don’t think it’s right to ask for guidance from the person who gave me chocolate, but it pains my conscience to buy it at random and give it back to him.
I’ll make sure to listen to Akira kun. I’m sure he wouldn’t do anything weird ! !
Satisfied with my plan for the time being, I once again threw a delicious raw chocolate cookie into my mouth.
