”Y-y-you… you kissed that wolf in sheep's clothing? Wha—”

”Shhhh… calm down! Please! And don't shout,” Hora covered my mouth and tried to calm me down.

'But oh boy, I am NOT calming down!'

I shot glares at her and she continued explaining to me what happened.

”Don't just blame him, okay? It's my fault, too. I let it happen. And besides, he… he c-confessed to me, too. He said he likes me,” Hora added with her face redder than a tomato.

”Oh? Did he now? Or did he just say that because you allowed him to kiss you and now he thinks you're easy and he uses confession as his guise? He's just being a horny bratt!”

Hora's eyes widened.

'Ooops! I think I showed too much of my elderly past self. I need to back myself up.'

”I… I mean, what if that's the case? I read it in a book somewhere. I forgot the title. But it's true! There's lots of jerks around and what if he's like that?”

”He's Kaiden's friend. If you trust Kaiden won't just befriend anyone, you wouldn't be like that.”

”E-even Kaiden thinks he's evil and savage.”

”I'm sure he didn't mean it in such a vile way. Just like how you tell off your friends on their flaws.”

”B-but still… he took advantage of you.”

”I allowed him to do that.”

”You're just too smitten by him.”

”Yes, maybe I am. I like him.”

”What?!” I gasped in shock. ”Y-you already… like him? I thought you didn't? You were so against it before?”
