Side Story 12

They had gone on dates, held hands, and even kissed, but….

Nevertheless, Airi swallowed hard.

Nobody had told her that her heart would beat this crazily right before a kiss.

Her heart felt like it would burst right out of her chest.

‘Heart, mind your manners. Please get it together as a martial artist!’

At this rate, the sound of her heartbeat would reach Berry’s ears!

But her stubborn heart only beat more fiercely as Berry drew closer.

Then, Berry smiled tenderly and gently rubbed her nose tip with his nose.

“Are you nervous?”

“Yeah.”

“I see. Me too.”

Airi looked at Berry’s face and eyes as she murmured.

“…Liar. You don’t seem nervous at all.”

Berry chuckled low again and asked. He could have kissed her right away, but his attitude seemed considerate of Airi.

Though Berry had always been boyish, his current attitude had a strangely sly edge to it.

“Really? Why don’t I seem nervous to you?”

At those words, Airi grumbled softly as if feeling wronged.

“Your face isn’t even red, and it seems like I’m the only one who’s nervous.”

Then Berry quietly took Airi’s hand and lifted it. He brought Airi’s hand to one side of his chest and whispered low.

“Here, my heart.”

“…Huh?”

“Can you feel my heart beating?”

Come to think of it, she seemed to feel something at her fingertips.

Berry’s heartbeat.

Strangely, his heart seemed to be beating faster than Airi’s heart. To exaggerate, it was like someone with heart disease.

With her hand placed against that loudly pounding heart, Airi soon blinked her eyes.

“Oh oh…. Oh, I can hear it.”

Thump, thump, thump, thump….

Berry’s heartbeat was incredibly strong.

Continuously….

She could hear it, the sound.

Airi blinked her eyes and then opened her mouth.

“I can hear it, oh, um, so….”

“I’m nervous too. Very much so.”

Airi looked at Berry while blinking her eyelashes.

Only then did things she hadn’t noticed before slowly come into view.

Unlike Berry’s pale face, his ears that were flushed red.

Despite firmly supporting her waist, his fingertips that seemed to tremble slightly.

So, Airi couldn’t hold back any longer.

The time it took for Berry’s lips to slowly descend felt like an eternity.

So, Airi went first….

“I’ll do it.”

Before she knew it, she was pressing her lips against Berry’s lips.

The kiss wasn’t deep, long, or particularly sensual.

However, Airi was out of her mind.

The moment their lips touched, firework-like sensations exploded throughout her head.

They say bells ring in your head when you have your first kiss.

[One more time!]

…What? One more time?

Airi and Berry looked at the text with dumbfounded expressions.

In front of the door, it was written in red letters.

[You must kiss one more time to get out!

-Cookie’s Hidden Event!-]

Airi blinked her eyes and thought.

What? One more time? Hidden event?

Her fists clenched involuntarily.

When I get out of here.

Cookie.

Should I destroy you…?

But Berry didn’t seem to think that way.

“This time I’ll go first.”

His lips slowly overlapped with Airi’s lips.

Unlike before, perhaps a little more urgent….

It was a breathtaking, short yet long kiss.

While kissing, our clasped hands were trembling.

After separating her lips from Berry’s, Airi carefully placed her hand on his collarbone.

“You know, Berry.”

“….”

But Berry didn’t respond. Airi looked up at Berry with a puzzled expression.

“…Berry?”

“….”

Berry’s eyes were clearly open.

But….

Why does he keep not responding?

‘Could there be some kind of problem?’

It was when Airi, somewhat anxious with worry, opened her eyes wide.

“Kiss….”

“….”

“…twice.”

Were two short kisses beyond what Berry could endure?

In the end, Berry….

“Berry!”

…fainted with his eyes open.

Airi opened her eyes wide.

Oh, no.

‘Berry was definitely the one who kissed me earlier, and Berry was the one who took my breath away with that deep kiss!’

After all the kisses were over, Berry was also the one gasping as if he couldn’t breathe….

“To even faint. You’re really such an idiot.”

Airi laughed low with her head deeply bowed.

Berry, really, you’re so so cute and….

Romantic.

That’s right. Airi had rose-colored glasses on thick.

So even Berry just fainting in front of her felt incredibly endearing.

* * *

After ‘that’ incident, the two people’s physical intimacy progressed rapidly.

For example, right now, here in front of Ortejo Castle.

On this pitch-black street without a single lantern….

Berry could hold Airi’s hand tightly and kiss her.

For now, a new routine had been added to their daily dating routine.

That was exactly…!

“Berry!”

“Yeah?”

“Kiss.”

Airi closed her eyes tightly.

Perhaps all of this might be thought of as some kind of farewell greeting…

‘But still, my heart is pounding like crazy!’

After all, a new form of skinship had been added to their routine!

Airi looked at Berry with a bashful smile.

“Berry.”

“Yeah.”

“I’ve gotten used to it now. …Kissing.”

“…”

Airi smiled bashfully as she threw out somewhat provocative words.

“Then can we do something more after that too?”

Maybe they could kiss, intertwine tongues, and also…

Even what comes after that…

Had she imagined that next moment?

Berry’s face turned so bright red that it was easily visible even in the pitch-black darkness.

“Over there, Lord Declan is…”

…If only Father wasn’t there with a menacing expression like some underworld organization member.
