I no longer want to be a part of this triangle

[Nanase Katori's POV:]

I returned to my house by ten on the clock. My eyes were slightly swollen and I was feeling quite thirsty after weeping for so long.

Mom and Dad were out of the house on a trip and I was all alone.

Being all alone at this age was something most people would have rejoiced but I felt empty....which made me wonder what if I let Ko-kun accompany me tonight.

'He would be over the moon...' I chuckled thinking about him. Of course, I won't be calling him since I didn't want to ruin the progression I have built until now.

I haven't made the decision about whom I would date after graduation...both Ko-kun and Kazu-kun have become my favorites, and they have their unique qualities, which makes me always troubled about whom to choose.

Ko-kun was considerate, calm, and always gentle with his approach. I like him at times when I need someone beside me when I feel lonely or sad. Then there was Kazu-kun. Wild, active, and flirtatious. He brings colors to my life, makes me feel alive, and brings me excitement and happiness with his presence.

Both of them have just become a necessary element in my life and that's why I can't decide whom to choose at all.

'Can't I just make a harem and go for both of them?' I giggled at the thought as I sipped on some barley tea and sat down on the couch.

Taking out my phone, I found there were several messages from classmates, friends, and Ko-kun regarding what happened today.

I treaded through the sea of messages to find out if there was anything from Kazu-kun.

There wasn't.

'I...indeed went a little overboard...' I wasn't supposed to slap him today. I had to just scold him and say things like 'You are the worst' and all, but maybe I got influenced by the flow of events and ended up slapping him.

I knew very well that the person who turned the fan on wasn't Kazu-kun...but I needed to do what I did for the proper development of this story.

After all, in this world of shoujo manga, I am the main heroine—Nanase Katori, and Kazu-kun my potential lover.

'I should give him some time...by tomorrow he surely would contact me and apologize.' With such thoughts, I turned my phone off after giving a brief text to Ko-kun and retiring to bed.

I wasn't that worried about Kazu-kun. After all, despite what happens between us, he is destined to remain wrapped around my finger~

[Third Person POV:]

"What the fuck?!" Kazuki sat there with his eyes widened and his complexion completely pale.

He was butt naked inside the blanket as he looked around and recalled everything that happened last night.

He...he...ended up having sex with his kohai!

He didn't know what happened exactly. They came to her apartment room since it was raining heavily outside and ordered dinner...along with a lot of beers.

He had some connections through which he could buy beer, so it wasn't difficult for him to have alcohol on the night after getting slapped by his long-time crush. However, what happened after he got drunk was completely unexpected.

He...ended up sleeping with a girl, whose name he even don't know.

"Oh lord..what have I done..." He held his head and repented of his actions. However, regretting his actions wouldn't undo a thing.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and Kazuki straightened his back before responding, "Who is it?"

"It's me senpai..." Her voice was hesitant—borderline scared.

Kazuki looked at himself before covering his lap under the pillow and calling out, "Come in."

The door slowly parted and a short-haired girl walked inside. Unlike usual, she wasn't wearing her boyish clothes and had a one-piece skirt over her lithe and plump body.

There was a striking blush on her face as she slowly walked towards him while holding a tray and a glass resting over it.

"D-Drink this...it will help with the hangover."

"I don't get drunk over beer..." Kazuki instantly regretted saying that.

If he wasn't drunk, then why did he end up pushing her down?!

Seriously, what's wrong with him?

The girl was a mess. She halted in her tracks and looked at Kazuki with widened eyes.

Kazuki sighed in exasperation. Angry at himself.

However, when he talked to her, his voice was normal, "Please sit down for a bit. We need to talk."

"Y-yes!" She instantly replied and after resting the tray on the table, she sat down a few meters away from him.

Kazuki sighed again before asking, "Don't get angry with me when I ask this...but what is your name?"

"I-It's Yoshizumi Kohana. I am in my second year."

"Okay then, Kohana-chan...let me get this straight. We had sex last night, right?" His question brought another big reaction from her as her eyes became blurry and soon she hid her face behind her hands in embarrassment.

Kazuki felt troubled seeing that he was making her uncomfortable. However, her reaction was more than enough to tell him what happened.

For a moment, he thought of stopping here, so she doesn't get uncomfortable anymore. However, leaving the conversation at this point would only create misunderstanding.

That's why, he asked once again, "Did I force myself on you?" Although he had some fragments of memories returning to him slowly, he couldn't be a hundred percent sure.

However, thankfully, her response cleared all his doubts, "I-It was consensual, Senpai."

Kazuki narrowed his eyes and asked the girl, "Why did you let me do something like that in a drunken state? You could have stopped me." He spoke those words as he snatched his pants from nearby and began to wear them from the inside of the blanket.

Kohana sat there with an unreadable expression on her face and head leaning down.

She was scared to look at him right now, in fear of letting her emotions burst out. She didn't want to cry in front of him and make herself look pitiful. She didn't want that.

Kohana was prepared for whatever her Senpai would decide about their relationship, and she wouldn't force him to be tied down to her just based on a one-night stand.

However, contrary to her expectation that her Senpai would leave right away, he actually crouched down before her and called out in a soft tone, "Are you scared?"

His voice was like that pebble that created ripples in her mind, which she brought to serenity by force.

She lost control. She was scared. She was terrified of what would happen now. She didn't know how her Senpai would treat her now, knowing that she easily allowed him to have her. She didn't want to find out what he thought about her.

And all those emotions suddenly overwhelmed her, bringing moisture to her eyes, and the girl ended up weeping.

Kazuki felt his heart turning heavy looking at the sight. Tears dropped down on her thighs as she sat there with her head hung low.

Kazuki drew closer to and wrapped his arms around the girl who despite behaving like a guy usually 

around the school, was nothing but a delicate and adorable girl.

'Seriously, I have messed up a big time...'
