Are Shy Types always like this?

After Aoi finished her training in the gym, we walked out together and decided to head to the school canteen. Curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is this how you always train in school?"

Aoi nodded cheerfully. "Yep, it's my secret training spot. I make sure not to be seen by anyone."

I couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Well, you failed at that today. I happened to catch you in the act."

Aoi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pouted playfully. "Oh, come on! Don't ruin my secret training routine!"

As we entered the canteen, we noticed Yui struggling to make her way through the crowd of students, trying to buy something from the food counter. I approached her, calling out her name softly.

"Yui?"

Startled, Yui turned around and locked eyes with me. "O-Oh, it's you..."

I greeted her with a warm smile. "Hello there. Need a hand with anything?"

Yui seemed taken aback by my confidence, but she quickly composed herself. "Um, actually, I was just trying to buy some bread right there."

Together, we maneuvered through the bustling canteen, finding a slightly less crowded spot near the food counter. I gestured for Yui to go ahead and order, keeping a lookout for any opening in the line.

As Yui placed her order and received her food, she turned to me with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Kousei-kun. I appreciate your help."

"Gah!?" I blushed immediately and looked away, my hand instinctively covering my mouth. "She's so cute... She's going to be the death of me with her adorableness," I thought to myself, my heart fluttering in my chest.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Yui asked, noticing my sudden reaction.

I quickly shook my head, trying to regain my composure. "N-Nothing, it's nothing. Just got lost in my thoughts for a moment."

Yui tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Are you sure? You seemed flustered."

I let out a nervous chuckle. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

Aoi, who had been observing the situation with a mischievous grin, chimed in. "Oh, come on, Kousei-kun. Don't be shy. You can tell us."

I shot a quick glance at Aoi, silently pleading for her not to make a big deal out of it. But knowing her playful nature.

"It's nothing... Anyway, I should go buy some for myself as well." I headed to the counter and purchased a melon bread for myself. After that, I returned to Yui and noticed that Aoi was missing. I turned to Yui with a puzzled expression. "Where did she go?"

Yui stammered a bit before replying, "S-She said she's going to get S-Sakura-chan..."

"I see... Shall we go take a seat then?" I suggested, gesturing towards an empty table.

Yui nodded, and we made our way to the table. As we sat down, I couldn't help but notice how shy she seemed, her words coming out in a soft and hesitant manner.

I wonder if she was always this way or if there was something else behind her bashful demeanor.

I took a slow bite from my melon bread, savoring its sweet and fluffy taste. However, I noticed Yui's gaze drifting toward my bread.

"Uhm... Do you want it?"

Yui's eyes widened momentarily, and she quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks turning a shade of pink. She nodded in response to my question, her shy demeanor making her even more endearing.

Caught off guard by her cuteness, I quickly looked away, trying to compose myself. "God, what the hell... She's so cute..." I thought to myself, my heart fluttering slightly.

I carefully split the melon bread in half and handed it to Yui. "Here."

Yui looked at me and then at the melon bread, her eyes gleaming with gratitude. She hesitantly reached out and took the bread from my hand, her delicate fingers brushing against mine. She began to take small, careful bites, her adorable mannerisms captivating me even more.

She began to take small, careful bites, her adorable mannerisms captivating me even more. I couldn't help but notice a slight puff on her cheeks as she chewed, adding to her charm.

"Yui-san, wait..." I found myself standing up, my instincts guiding me. With a gentle touch, I reached out and wiped away the puff on her cheek, feeling the warmth of her blush beneath my fingertips. Her face turned even redder, and I quickly retreated to my seat.

"S-Sorry."

"I-It's okay... Thank you, Kousei-kun," Yui responded, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and gratitude.

As I heard her words, my heart skipped a beat, and my face turned as red as a tomato. Feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of my emotions, I quickly lowered my head to the table, using it as a shield to hide my blushing face. "Haahh... Are shy types always this adorable?" I silently pondered, trying to calm the racing thoughts in my mind.

Meanwhile, Aoi and Sakura arrived at the table. "Oh, hello, you two..." They noticed my flushed face. Aoi gently shook me, then turned to Sakura and shook her head. "He's done... He's been critically damaged by Yui's cuteness..."

"Eh?!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening.

"The power of shy-type idols... it's quite something," I thought to myself, still recovering from the impact of Yui's cuteness.
