After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back

Chapter 147 Kiss

When do people fall for someone?

The answer is unknown, with myriad opinions.

Some say you like someone when you find them cute.

Some say it's when you feel an urge to protect them.

Some say it's when you can't stop your eyes from glancing their way, paying attention to their every move.

Kagura Hikaru had felt all these emotions.

Towards his girlfriend, Kiryu Hina, and also towards his friend, Kohinata Motoyo.

He started dating the latter three months after her confession.

At that time, Kagura Hikaru didn't know that Suse was about to do something very unreasonable, his mind preoccupied with the confession under the cherry tree.

What exactly did Suse like about him, and why would she say those things knowing he had a girlfriend?

And him, did he really like Suse as well...?

After being confessed to, Kagura Hikaru became quite concerned about these questions, his inner turmoil accumulating, unfamiliar yet familiar feelings emerging.

He gradually developed the same feelings for Suse as he had for Hina.

Men really are simple and superficial creatures.

Happy all day when a girl calls them handsome, boasting to the world when a girl gives them a gift.

Falling for a girl who confesses to them.

I've said it before, right?

During the half year he dated behind Hina's back, Kagura Hikaru wasn't completely unmoved, not entirely indifferent.

After all, when a girl so perfect, with good looks, personality, family background, and abilities, confesses to you and even goes as far as having an affair to be with you, becoming the other woman.

Which man on this planet could refuse?

Kagura Hikaru is a straight man who likes good-looking girls, girls with nice figures, enjoys sensuality, a normal man not lacking any of the desires that should be there.

Such a man, such a shallow man, how could he not have fallen for Kohinata Motoyo?

Everything he said to Hina that white Christmas night was true.

His guilt towards Hina, like Suse's entanglement with him, was all genuine.

He indeed betrayed her.

From the body to the soul.

His entire being, including his soul, was tainted with Kohinata Motoyo's color.

Knowing it was not allowed, knowing it was against the promise, very unfair to Hina.

The moral code accepted by society, the thrill of an affair, tormented him from two opposing directions.

Indeed, if Suse had not taken action, it would never have resulted in such a situation.

Maybe even now, he would be having a secure and affectionate relationship with Hina and be best friends with Suse.

A relationship that is neither more nor less than that.

However, there are no maybes, no what-ifs, what's done is done, and it's irreversible.

Whether it was Hina, Suse, or Kagura Hikaru himself, they were all completely changed at that moment.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian thought he was the victim.

Perhaps because she thought she understood the truth, and because of her trust in him as a friend.

But in Kagura Hikaru's own view, it was completely different.

She was wrong, Hina was the one who was right.

Truthfully, when everything was exposed that night, deep down he really felt relieved.

If he continued like this, if he kept on pretending to be threatened by Suse, continuing to date both girls.

It wasn't just about occupying their feelings, but eventually, even taking the final step in a romantic relationship.

Afterwards, what kind of twisted path would his life take, it's truly unimaginable.

He was a terrible man, a scumbag, unforgivably worthless.

No matter who said those words to him, he would accept them in silence.

Not for any other reason.

But simply because that was the reality.

When Kohinata Suse returned from abroad and pursued him to Ugao High, Kagura Hikaru's fear was genuine.

Because he had a premonition that he would fall back into that state he had been in before.

No matter how he verbally justified himself, claiming he resented her, or how much he physically repulsed and harshly denied all her requests, it probably wouldn't be effective.

This time, he might not be able to turn back.

There came a gentle sound of footsteps and the crushing of dry leaves from behind.

A pair of warm, small hands covered Kagura Hikaru's eyes.

"Guess who~?"

"Ogura Yui."

"Hm? Who is that woman?"

"A female voice actress, your voice sounds very similar to hers. If they make an animation, I'd definitely want to invite her to be responsible for your voice."

Kagura Hikaru got up from the bench, intending to offer his seat to Kohinata Suse.

But unexpectedly, she pressed down on him, and after sitting, she cradled his head gently in her lap.

The skin on the back of his neck touched the girl's thigh.

The feel was soft and slightly cool.

A refreshing fragrance enveloped him.

Kohinata Suse placed her left hand on Kagura Hikaru's chest, patting it like one would soothe a baby, gazing down gently.

"What were you lying here thinking just now?"

"I was thinking it would have been better if I never dated you in the first place," Kagura Hikaru said.

"Ah, you're saying that kind of thing again. I don't know how many times I've heard you say it when we were together."

"Then you'll have to trouble yourself to listen to it one more time."

"I won't agree, you know. No matter how many times time rewinds, I will still fall in love with you," Suse said gently as she caressed his cheek, chin, Adam's apple, and collarbone, "Like you, fall for you, become your lover, and then, come back to find you again."

"That's so heavy, that kind of unchanging affection."

"Don't say heavy, this is romantic," she chided.

Kohinata Suse playfully pushed Kagura Hikaru's nose with her index finger, "How can you say such mean things about a girl's feelings."

"The one who is bad is you."

"Hoho, I won't deny that," Suse laughed with a smile that turned somewhat sad, "I'm sorry, Kagura, for it ending up like this. If I could have met you a bit sooner, dated you earlier, then Hina wouldn't have..."

"Hina will never forgive you, and neither will I," Kagura Hikaru said, looking her straight in the eye, calmly.

"Hmm, is that so? I suppose it is, why would I be anything but a bad woman."

Suse smiled as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, bent down, and slowly lowered her head, the shadow of her hanging hair enveloping Kagura Hikaru.

"So now, all you need is to look at me."

A soft touch came from his lips.

Kagura Hikaru closed his eyes.

Indeed, I still don't want to date you, Suse.

I don't want to be lovers, nor do I want us to be a couple, and even less do I want to be anything beyond that.

A wrong beginning won't lead to a right end.

If only we had never dated from the beginning.

If only we had been strangers from the start.
