After resting for a while, Fuyu silently heaved a sigh of relief, vocalizing what she couldn't say earlier.
"I like you too, Onoda-kun. I'm turning my head away from that reality for who knows how long. Now that I faced that feeling upfront and vented it out on you, I feel like I released a shackle in my chest."
That's a confession, alright. I might be the reason why she became aware of her feelings but this girl said it as though she had been nursing it for a while now.
Before long, Fuyu used my chest to hide her face but upon realizing what she was doing, the girl grabbed my hand and placed it on her head.
Understanding what she wanted me to do, a chuckle escaped my mouth.
Still, I played a long and gently combed her hair, acting like I didn't notice how hot her face became.
"I'm glad I can help." I eventually replied which led the girl to pinch the side she was gripping.
