"!!!".
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes slowly widened as she stared at Lin.
Become his wife forever!?
This wasn't a confession.
This was practically a marriage proposal!
Lin's sudden proposal left her completely stunned.
Seriously, who proposes the moment they become a couple!
The situation made her mind go blank.
She couldn't maintain her usual composure.
"You don't want to?"
Their eyes met, and Lin asked again.
"N-No, that's not it..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha came back to her senses, her pretty face flushed red. The shyness in her eyes seemed to ripple like water, and she hesitated, at a loss for words.
Should she accept?
It was way too fast.
Who agrees to a marriage proposal right after becoming a couple?
Should she refuse?
No, no, no, that wouldn't do.
If she refused, Lin would surely be heartbroken.
Besides, she didn't want to refuse.
Although she didn't know what the future held, right now, she just wanted to be with Lin. He was the only one she liked.
She wanted to be with him forever, too.
So, should she agree?
Wouldn't that be too rash?
Hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's response, Lin smiled faintly:
"Since it's not a 'no,' I'll take that as a 'yes' from you, Utaha."
Without giving her a chance to speak, he leaned in and kissed her.
Capturing her soft lips.
"Mmph!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha froze.
Then she closed her eyes, immersing herself in the feeling of her racing heart.
About a minute later.
Sensing someone approaching, Lin released Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Glancing at a tourist thirty meters away, Lin took the blushing Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and said with a smile:
"Let's go."
"Utaha, is there anywhere you'd like to go next?"
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath to calm her emotions. After composing herself slightly, she mulled it over for a moment:
"Just take me home later."
The pace of their date today had far exceeded her expectations.
It was supposed to just be about becoming a couple.
Who knew Lin would suddenly propose.
And that she would tacitly agree to it.
She needed to go home and cool her head.
"Going home... sounds good, too~."
Hearing this, Lin was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile.
The two continued their walk along the lake.
When the time felt right, Lin escorted Kasumigaoka Utaha back to the high-end apartment she was renting in Taito Ward.
"Aren't you going to invite me in to have a look?"
Standing outside the apartment building, Lin gave Kasumigaoka Utaha a small smile.
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze flickered.
A hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.
She'd noticed that ever since she and Lin had laid their cards on the table, he had become much more 'aggressive' in their interactions.
Lin made no effort to hide his physical desire for her.
She wasn't repulsed by this.
In fact, she was happy that her body could stir such feelings in Lin.
Because she liked Lin.
It would be strange if Lin didn't have those worldly desires for her.
Although she wasn't actually opposed to giving herself to Lin,
it was too soon right now.
After all, they had only just confirmed their relationship.
Lin said with a grin, "Don't worry, I'll just come up for a little while."
"...Alright, then."
Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Apparently, she had forgotten the old adage about such promises.
"You're the best. Give me a kiss."
Lin said with a grin, then planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Isn't that obvious?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him, the corners of her lips turning up slightly.
After entering the passcode to open the main door on the first floor, the two took the elevator to room 902 on the ninth floor.
The apartment layout was a one-bedroom, one-living room, with a kitchen and a bathroom.
Suitable for a single person.
At sixty-five square meters, it was also large enough for a couple to live in.
"Is barley tea okay?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Lin.
It was the only drink she had at home.
"Anything's fine with me."
Lin sat down on the sofa.
A moment later, Kasumigaoka Utaha came over with a glass of barley tea.
Lin took it and had a sip.
Smacking his lips, he said with a grin, "This is missing something."
"Missing something?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of confusion appearing in them.
It seemed fine to her.
After all, this was the brand she always drank.
Lin gave a meaningful smile. "I prefer the imported kind."
"Imported?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's slender brows furrowed.
Though she was confused at first, seeing the meaningful smile on Lin's face, she instantly understood.
Her pretty face couldn't help but turn a little red.
"Sigh..."
At that moment, Lin leaned back languidly on the sofa, a look of sorrow and sadness on his face as he sighed:
"My first time visiting my girlfriend's home, and she's not even willing to treat her boyfriend with genuine hospitality."
"I'm so heartbroken."
"So heartbroken, so very heartbroken."
Important things must be said three times, a repetition to express one's innermost feelings.
"I don't know what to do with you..."
Looking at Lin putting on an act, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, a flash of shyness in them.
Then, she picked up the glass Lin had drunk from and took a sip of barley tea.
She walked over to Lin and leaned down.
The moment their lips touched, Lin suddenly reached out and pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha into his arms.
He had her sit on his lap.
"Mmm..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flew open, her gaze flickering incessantly.
In the end, she closed her eyes again.
Her hands gently wrapped around Lin's neck.
After Lin had finished drinking the 'imported' barley tea, he didn't stop, instead wanting to lick the 'cup' clean.
His left hand wrapped around Kasumigaoka Utaha's soft waist, kneading it gently.
The two kissed passionately, lost in the moment.
Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes opened.
She grabbed Lin's mischievous right hand, her expression a mix of shyness and nervousness. She looked at him and said with a feigned anger:
"Not now, it's too soon."
"A man's words really are deceiving. You said you were just coming up for a while. You're not being honest, Junior."
When she had agreed earlier, she knew Lin wouldn't stick to his word.
But she'd agreed anyway.
As long as they didn't do that, she could pretty much accept anything else.
"Alright..."
Seeing this, Lin feigned disappointment.
Glancing down at his 'flagpole', Lin frowned slightly and pretended to be uncomfortable:
"But I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now."
"Utaha, for the sake of our future happiness, you can't just ignore me."
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down at his 'flagpole'.
Her beautiful eyes trembled.
"What... do you want me to do?"
She could feel her heart starting to race.
"How about this..."
Lin's eyes darted around, and he whispered something in Kasumigaoka Utaha's ear.
"!!!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened.
She couldn't help but glare at Lin and mutter, "Pervert!"
Her pretty face was beet red, her eyes filled with shyness.
"Oh, I'm so uncomfortable."
Lin's lips curled into a slight smile as he continued his act.
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes in exasperation, but in the end, she got up, went back to her room, and brought out a new pair of stockings.
She drew the living room curtains.
She took off the black stockings she was wearing, revealing her fair, slender legs.
Under Lin's gaze, she put on the new pair of black stockings.
Lin lay down on the floor in front of the sofa, resting his head on a cushion.
After putting on the stockings, Kasumigaoka Utaha, blushing, extended her feet.
