“Yes!…”
After getting home, I flopped onto my bed and quietly cheered like that.
It hasn’t been that long since I started dating Seito-senpai, but to me, that doesn’t really matter.
Even in such a short time, I’ve come to like Seito-senpai so deeply from the bottom of my heart… It’s okay to want to take things further, right…?
Many of my classmates have boyfriends too, but I don’t know exactly how far things have progressed for everyone.
Still, among my close friends, I’d mainly just heard stories. Some of them seemed incredibly happy after doing intimate things with their boyfriends.
And I still remember the words they used back then. They said it felt amazing, not just emotionally connected, but physically connected too. They said they were already happy, but it felt like that happiness multiplied many times over.
I couldn’t understand it back then, but several others agreed with her…
This is a secret, but some of my classmates were dating other students, and some were even dating college guys.
I thought, “What about minors and adults!?” But that girl looked so incredibly happy about being in a relationship… Seeing a smile like that, I couldn’t possibly say anything.
Back then, I couldn’t even imagine doing intimate things with a boyfriend. Seeing everyone so happy, I just thought, “They look happy…” That was about it. Of course, seeing my friends happy made me happy too.
But now that I’m dating Seito-senpai, I understand deep down why everyone looked so incredibly happy.
I want to be together not just in heart, but in body too…
“Next week, huh…”
I’d decided today that I wanted to tell him I wanted to stay over, but to be honest, I was incredibly nervous. Right up until the last minute, I was thinking maybe I should just back out…
The desire to take things further was huge, but it was so embarrassing… I was really nervous.
That said, I’m still incredibly nervous right now.
I caught myself looking in the mirror.
“My face is bright red…”
I bet I looked like this when I was with Seito-senpai too… Thinking that made me feel a little embarrassed.
But it can’t be helped… Just thinking about being with Seito-senpai next week makes me nervous.
I’m super excited, but I’m also super nervous.
“Come to think of it, you two felt the same way too, huh…”
I kind of suspected it, but so Miku-nee and Saki-nee liked Seito-senpai too, huh?
Come to think of it, among my friends, there were quite a few who’d get jealous if their boyfriend had another girlfriend, right?
Personally, even if those two got close to Seito-senpai and started dating, I wouldn’t feel jealous at all. No matter how much I imagine it, if I’m part of that circle too, I’d actually be happy about it.
I was thinking about that when…
(Knock knock)
The door to my room was knocked on.
Only Mom and Dad were home, so it was probably one of them.
Thinking that, I hurriedly answered.
“Wh-what is it!?”
“Kana? Can I talk to you for a sec?”
“I-it’s fine!”
“Well then, I need to talk to you. Can you come downstairs?”
“Okay. I’ll be right there!”
“Alright. Thanks.”
With that, Mom went downstairs.
“Phew…”
I hurriedly tried to calm myself.
Thinking about Senpai made me incredibly nervous, but judging by Mom’s tone, it felt like a pretty serious conversation.
Could it be about my stepbrother? Lately, we haven’t even made eye contact unless we were talking, so it wouldn’t be strange if she knew.
No, actually, it would be strange if she didn’t know?
Once I decided I needed to have a serious talk, my heart calmed down.
I figured this conversation would come sooner or later, and I’d planned to explain properly when it did.
I didn’t have the courage to tell them about spending the night with Seito-senpai, but everything else…
I’m sure they’d understand if it was just the two. But if they showed any reluctance, then I’d ask Miku-nee and Saki-nee for help.
I haven’t told them about it yet, but I’m sure they’d help.
I took a deep breath and left the room.

“So, what’s up?”
I sat facing the two of them and asked.
Their expressions were serious, but also somewhat worried.
“Um. I’ll just ask straight out—did something happen with Tsubasa? You two have been acting weird lately, obviously.”
“Tsubasa said he’d be late tonight because he’s eating with friends, so I wanted to ask while we had the chance…”
My stepfather spoke first, then my mother said that.
“Did you ask my brother about it?”
“I thought it might be better to ask Tsubasa first, so I did ask him. But when I tried, he just said it didn’t matter and wouldn’t talk about it at all.”
“I got the same feeling… Plus, they’ve fought many times before, but this time it seemed especially bad. I was talking about it with your father. There was only one time like this before, but it was like back then…”
Well, maybe that’s true…
But that one time, I wasn’t this angry. Or rather, I was just being stubborn too, and I was a kid.
Looking back now, it wasn’t something that warranted putting a lock on the door, but this time is different.
This time, I really have no intention of compromising.
If you oppose me being with Seito-senpai, then from my perspective, that’s not even up for discussion.
I have absolutely no intention of breaking up with Seito-senpai…
To be honest, if you only heard the rumors about Seito-senpai, I can understand why some people would reject him. Actually, at first, I only had a scary image of him too…
But those are just rumors about Seito-senpai, and they’re in the past.
Even if Miku-nee, Saki-nee, or I try to explain that, my stepbrother won’t listen.
Maybe even if he did decide to talk to Seito-senpai, there’s still a chance they wouldn’t get along.
But if he talked to the Seito-senpai of today, he should at least understand that he’s changed somewhat.
So I can’t be friends with a stepbrother who refuses to even try to understand Seito-senpai and just dismisses him outright.
“Yeah… I know you understand, but I did fight with my stepbrother…”
“Well, I figured.”
“So what was the reason? I’m worried about the two of you…”
“Before you ask that, I want to make something clear: I have absolutely no intention of backing down on this matter.”
“We won’t know until we hear it, but please tell us anyway. There might be something we can do.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
I took a light, deep breath before speaking.
“Actually… I’ve fallen for someone… and I’m dating him now…”
Hearing that, they both looked shaken, but I quickly added.
“Oh… really? But Kana, you’re at that age, right?”
“Well… yeah, I guess. I’m really curious about that and surprised, but how does that relate to Tsubasa?”
“Well… my boyfriend is someone with quite a few rumors surrounding him… I’ll explain everything from the beginning…”
And so I explained everything, from the rumors to what happened yesterday. I told them about being saved, about how he helped Miku-nee and Saki-nee—everything. Of course, I only told them about the incident involving the two of them, leaving out anything I shouldn’t share.
I also told them about meeting my stepbrother.
I didn’t want to talk about the rumors surrounding Seito-senpai’s past, but I told them everything anyway.
Seito-senpai himself said it was probably unavoidable to explain things about my stepbrother to my parents, so it was okay to talk about it… Of course, there was a chance they might react badly to Seito-senpai’s past, but I desperately tried to counter that by telling them how kind and dependable he really was.
I poured my heart out to them about how much I care for Seito-senpai… Will they understand? I waited for their response, filled with that anxiety.
