Several minutes later, despite mutually agreeing to forget and leave behind what happened between us, I remained by Fuyu's side.
I couldn’t just leave her behind, right? Especially when I saw her getting bugged by an idiot earlier. Although she could go back to join her club on going home… it would just be as awkward as when she left them.
Besides, Fuyu also favored it when I told her I’d still be escorting her home. Just that, the distance between us became more pronounced.
Someone could probably slip in between us by pushing and running into that gap. Moreover, she kept her eyes in front of us, not daring to look at me straight again.
Most likely, she’s afraid that any type of contact with me might make her resolve to waver. Or if not that, our intimate moment was still lingering in her head.
Whichever the case, I could only try to respect her boundaries. She’d just be disappointed if I went back with my words, after all.
