I stood on my tiptoes, resting my chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear.
"I'm not ready yet either… I'll definitely show you later."
Thump! Thump!
Pressed so close, I could hear Tang Ayeon's heartbeat echoing into me.
"I trust you, Miss… Don't you trust me?"
That was the finishing blow.
"I-I trust you! Of course I do! Who says I don't?!"
Tang Ayeon, her face now beet red, stumbled back.
That's how my encounter with her ended that day.
…
…
"…Hm."
After stepping out of Tang Ayeon's house, I replayed what had just happened. The strange(?) behavior I'd shown toward her definitely wasn't my own idea. It was like… my body moved on its own, I guess?
'What was that?'
Thanks to it, the situation somehow wrapped up nicely, but I couldn't shake an odd feeling. For some reason, a chill ran through me too.
'Gods of heaven and earth?'
