Not knowing how to process what I declared, Misumi and most of our classmates who heard me started laughing. Yeah, they just considered that as a joke. A huge joke that wouldn’t happen.
I even got a pat on my back from those unaware as though encouraging me to live more on the side of reality than fantasy. But obviously, those aware, especially my girls, could only stare at me, either shaking their heads or smiling at my silliness.
What better way to end this?
Obviously, to give them another surprise.
I stood up. Turned around to check on whoever was paying attention to me. Before confidently walking toward Nami, Hina, and Saki. Without faltering in my steps or even hesitation, one by one, I lifted their hands close to my lips and I kissed them before repeating what I said back then, “Can I fall in love with you?”
I didn’t wait for their answer though. I kept moving and soon. Back to Aya, then Chii, and eventually, even Kanzaki.
