As she opened her lips and took a bite, a burst of whiteness was unleashed inside her mouth. Naturally, this wasn't Tobe's manly part, but the cream puff that was bought by her boyfriend.
Their first date drained her stamina and energy, and a sugary food was just the right replenishment for her energy as she waited for her boyfriend's cooking.
Sitting on her sofa in the living room, her bare feet were playful and lightly touched against each other as she stared at her boyfriend's figure in the kitchen.
'It's warm...'
His figure was all in her eyes, and she kept staring at him, as she waited for him patiently, yet she didn't realize the expression on her face, which showed a cute, filled with affection, yet obsessed look as she continued to recall their previous lascivious that was extremely lewd and loving.
While she was all sore and exhausted, she could feel her two nipples that grew harder as her panties became slightly damp, which made her feel helpless, wondering whether she was such a lewd woman. It made her complicated, yet fortunately, Tobe was also a pervert, so should they fit together?
She was shy, yet she knew she shouldn't say that, but all of a sudden, she smelled a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen.
"What are you cooking... Kakeru?"
Usually, they called each other by their family's name, but this time, Yukinoshita decided to call him by his first name. She was a little embarrassed, wondering whether he was okay with it, but as their relationship had grown deeper, she even let him be inside her; everything should be okay, right?
Chuckle!
While she pouted as she heard his response, chuckling at how she started to call him, she showed a silly smile when she heard him calling her by her first name.
"It will be done soon. Be patient."
Frankly, Yukinoshita was so hungry at this moment, and she wanted to grab another puff cream since her boyfriend bought quite a lot, but then, she was a little surprised when Tobe only needed less than ten minutes to finish.
No, it was probably even less than five minutes!
While she was shocked by the speed of his cooking, she was at a loss when she saw the dish that he had made.
"...what is this?"
"Instant ramen."
Yes, as he knew well that Yukinoshita needed to eat, considering the calories she had consumed after their lovemaking, he knew that he needed to cook with speed instead of delicacy.
If he had time, it might be okay to cook something fancy, such as the pho he had made before, but since he needed to feed his girlfriend as soon as possible, and being brutally honest, he was also a little lazy, he decided to cook instant ramen.
"... Is this instant ramen?
What Yukinoshita saw wasn't that pitiful dish filled only with soup, noodles, and MSG-filled powder, but a beautifully arranged ramen with many toppings, including vegetables, eggs, meats, and even nori. It was different from the instant noodles that she knew. Instead, it was like one that she saw in the
"You have never tried it before?"
"Um."
This wasn't surprising, as most wealthy individuals, who had money, would provide their children with the best food and nutrition, and they wouldn't think to feed them processed food filled with additives, as it was considered unhealthy.
However, the human body isn't so frail, and as long as one doesn't consume instant ramen daily, everything should be okay.
"I retook your first time, then."
Lightly tapping his shoulder, Yukinoshita's face reddened once again. "Stop saying stupid things~!"
"Let's eat then. It won't be good if it gets cold."
"Okay."
"I don't know what you like or what you are bad at, so I just choose the taste based on my favorites."
"It's fine. I don't have any allergies, taboos, dislikes, or likes."
"That's good, then."
"Then, can I taste it?"
"Go ahead."
Yukinoshita, who was extremely hungry, took her spoon and lightly tasted the broth, which was full of flavor yet not heavy, causing her eyes to widen. She then took her chopsticks and slurped the noodles.
"..."
By then, she was all quiet before she devoured the food, eating it clean as she was so hungry, and the salt was what her body needed the most!
Tobe smiled, thinking that while he was a little lazy, it was good to know that his food was being enjoyed. Still, this also made him think that he should prepare something better later.
Cooking.
If it were just for one person, he would be lazy, and wouldn't even try to make an effort as the act of eating was just to fill his stomach, but when it was for someone else, it was natural that one wished to make the best.
People often say that the best spice for the food is love, and Tobe believed that it was correct since the cooking process was tedious and troublesome.
If it wasn't because of love, why would one even try to give the best food by cooking, right?
"Is it delicious?"
"Um!"
"When we finish the exam, how about we have a date, tasting many foods?"
"..."
Yukinoshita stopped her slurping and asked, "Is that okay?"
"You won't have to go back to your parents' house?"
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about me visiting them, but you might need to prepare yourselves later when you have finished your exam."
"Why should I need to prepare something?"
Leaning against his arm lovingly, Yukinoshita acted like a cat once again as she rubbed her cute face on his body, then said shyly, "Well, I need you to prepare since I might introduce you as my boyfriend to my parents."
"...." Tobe.
Regardless of their development, without a doubt, Yukinoshita wanted to be with him, and never thought of someone else, yet as she was happy, many were unhappy and even sad.
Staring at the screen of her smartphone, her home was in a mess with many cans of beer littered around the floor.
Hiratsuka thought of what she had heard from many, then looked at the chats that she had with him.
'If I were younger...'
If she were younger, or he were older.
If they had met earlier, or he had graduated, would everything have become like this?
Somehow, if she had to feel like this, she felt that it was better that they didn't meet at all, but she was the one who introduced him to that girl, and she was the one who wished him to move on and helped that girl, yet why?
Why, when everything moved according to her wishes, she felt unhappy as if something precious was gone.
"Sigh..."
Meanwhile, Shiori stared at the picture of the two that she had secretly taken, and it was a selfie photo of his sleeping face, with her making a loving, mischievous expression and raising a peace sign by his side.
Yes, when he slept, she took his photo secretly, even though she knew that it was bad, but she felt a bit of regret since his photo made her long for his presence more.
"Huh? Shiori, is that your boyfriend?"
"Ah, Haruno? You can't look!"
As Shiori tried to hide her smartphone, startled, feeling even more regret for not being able to hold her urge to see their photo, her female best friend at the university quickly embraced her and asked coquettishly, "Come on~! Let me see~! But let me see that handsome guy who can make you fall in love~!"
While Tobe didn't know, an impending doom was waiting for him.
