Jealous
Before Izumi-senpai could notice that I was taking advantage of her by turning our situation into a hug, I let go of her and just returned to caressing her head and brushing her fairly well-kept hair endearingly.
Once she gathered her thoughts, the girl also returned to someone who acted as though she didn’t want to be near me. However, her face betrayed her again as what happened possibly sank into her mind.
I didn’t comment on that to save her from further embarrassment and just asked her if we should go.
She didn’t answer right away. The girl lowered her head and contemplated.
A while later, Izumi-senpai weakly nodded, reached for my sleeve, and muttered silently, “Shameless idiot, I can accompany you later. They might stop with what they planned if I’m with you.”
