Marika's Kindness (2)
“Un, you’re my helpful junior…” Marika cutely giggled a bit but almost instantly, her cheerful voice became laced with a serious and heavy tone, “I believe I can enjoy my time with you… But that’s why, forgive me for this… Can I ask you not to pry on my relationship with Jun-kun or my situation from now on? Take this as my request as your senior.”
Once she finished saying that, she stopped trying to peek at my face as if she was afraid that her resolve would be broken if she saw my reaction to her words.
Heh, I couldn’t say this was within my expectation. But then again, it’s Marika. She’s naively kind even to someone who took advantage of her.
I waited for a few seconds before replying. It’s to build the illusion that I contemplated her words when in truth, I already got an answer to them.
Before opening my mouth, I stretched my hand out for her hand resting on top of my table. By simply settling it on top of hers, it successfully earned me a glance from her.
