11 – Just three, yes-no answers to your questions. How is it?

After a while, Ina peeked out from the other side of the door.

“Come in.”

Ina was wearing casual clothes that were a bit oversized. Her hands were barely covered by her sleeves. Looking back, she was wearing a boxy tee when they met on a night walk. Do you like loose clothes?

She followed Ina’s gesture and entered her room.

She was standing in front of the door, and Ina, who was sitting on the bed, tapped the seat next to her.

“Sit here.”

“I hate it.”

“Why?”

Why, why? There’s only you and me in this house. Entrust yourself to the same bed in this situation? …… ‘ Was the answer in her mind, and she sat down on the floor.

“Then, the hint we promised.”

Ina smiled brightly.

“Actually, I haven’t thought of anything else.”

“…… What?”

“Actually, I haven’t thought of anything else.”

“I didn’t ask because I couldn’t hear.”

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She said she gave hints. She brought me home and said this. This guy is a pure cheater.

“Didn’t you say that the house was a hint earlier?”

When questioned, she touches her chin.

“Didn’t you say that it would be advantageous if you knew more about me?”

“I did.”

“Wouldn’t that be a hint if you could get information about me while looking at my house?”

Okay. It may or may not make sense…….

“On the outside, it doesn’t look like anything special.”

“Then open the third drawer over there.”

“Not even open deals.”

I don’t know how much she wants to show off her underwear, but she has no intention of opening it. If you see her by mistake, you’re sure to make fun of her again, saying she’s a pervert.

After such meaningless conversation, she clapped her hands.

“Then I will answer yes-no to just three questions. How about this?”

She brought up an interesting suggestion.

“You want to play the game of truth?”

“Yes. Well, I usually ask about this and that, so I’ll just answer today. Is this okay?”

“You’re not going to talk about plus or minus again later, are you?”

“Not this time?”

“Really?”

“You don’t believe me? That’s too much~”

It was a relaxed tone.

The truth game. It’s a game that boys often play on field trips.

Usually, several people ask questions to others to dig out the truth. If it is difficult to answer, it is possible to substitute it with a penalty. This is the usual rule.

However, Ina didn’t seem to need the right to ask me questions, nor the system that replaced it with penalties.

To suggest a game like this without hesitation. Do you think there is no reason to ask any questions? Where does that kind of confidence come from?

Or not.

‘It makes me think that you’ve never wondered about me.’

Maybe it is an extension of what I heard earlier.

“If you don’t mind.”

Well, for me, there is no loss either way.

“Okay. Then, from now on, I will only answer the truth. Just three, yes-no.”

Ina was taking a deep breath as if she was determined to be brave.

And I belatedly fell into trouble.

Coming to think of it, I haven’t decided on any questions. There’s no specific time limit, but it’s better to finish it as soon as possible. It won’t be easy to make excuses when Inane’s parents return.

What questions should I ask?

After thinking for a while, I asked the first question.

“Have we met before we were in the same class?”

“Ooh, that’s a pretty sharp question.”

Ina crossed her arms and nodded her head.

“Before I answer, I will ask you to confirm.”

“Yes.”

“The ‘meeting’ you’re talking about isn’t just excessive in the hallway, is it?”

“Yes. I wonder if you’ve had at least a conversation.”

As she gave a supplementary explanation, she let out a soft and generous laugh.

“NO. I have never met you.”

She answered that.

I have never met you. In other words, the first time Inna and I talked was after we were in the same class this year. She was about to join the newspaper department, and that was when she asked if it would be okay.

I don’t remember talking to Inna either, so it’s not unexpected. You might understand that talking to her like that from the beginning shows Ina’s personality.

Still…….

She was troubled, so she leaned over and presented her face to me.

“Whoops. She’s thinking hard Of course, that would be of no use.”

“What a villainous line.”

“Because we are the opponents we are fighting against.”

Ina put her hand on her waist and said ooh hahahahaha, pretending to be her villain. It’s good that she’s faithful to her role, but we’re not particularly at odds. Even the bet was half a joke.

“Then what is the next question?”

Ina asked, tilting her head. Tired of being the villain, she’s back to normal.

Hmm, let’s check it out first.

“Did you know about me before we started talking in class?”

Ina nodded her head again.

“Hmm~ You’re asking that.”

“So what is the answer?”

“YES. I kind of knew.”

That’s right.

This she thought would be YES. In the first place, Ina knew that I was in the newspaper club. She was right to think that Inaga knew about me, unless she had some crazy camera skills.

However, there are parts that are not clear.

How does Ina know information about someone she hasn’t spoken to before? Why the hell did she know before that?

“This is the final question.”

“Yes. I know…….”

I thought it would be an advantage to answer anything. When I tried to ask, the question didn’t come to mind. At least I could easily recall the questions I had asked earlier, but now I didn’t even know what to ask.

It’s been quite a while.

“Is it still?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“I’m sleepy.”

Giving a glance, Ina covered her mouth and was yawning. She said she usually goes to bed early, but it’s still early. I should have woken up earlier today.

“Okay. I will think quickly.”

“No. It’s okay, so take it slow.”

Ina smiled brightly.

“Then I’ll sleep for a while, so wake me up if you have any questions.”

Then she flopped down on the bed.

“Don’t sleep.”

“Why?”

You only turn your head to look at me. Looking at his half-closed eyes, it seemed that he was not lying when he said he was tired.

I said scratching my head.

“Sleep like that with a man right next to you. That, what should I say, that.”

That, how to say. Should I say it’s like entering a dungeon without any armor? No, that would make me a monster. Men are monsters in a sense, so it might not be wrong, but…….

Since I’m in an infinite loop of thoughts, Ina slightly raises the corners of her mouth and mumbles.

“Are you looking at me and thinking dirty thoughts?”

I asked teasingly.

“No.”

“Then are you okay?”

“At least I don’t.”

I turned my head.

“Don’t act like that in front of other men.”

I heard the sound of breathing. I don’t care and continue talking behind my back.

“Even if you get into a dangerous situation, it’s not your fault, but since there are stars in the world, should I say that I want you to be careful…….”

The more I talk, the more I feel like I’m caught in a trap. Realizing it belatedly, I kept my mouth shut.

There was a brief silence in the room.

“Over there.”

It was Ina’s voice that broke the silence. She turned her head towards Ina who was lying on the bed. She had her face buried in her bed.

“Thank you.”

“No, I didn’t say anything to thank you. Rather than that, what are you doing now?”

“Hiding her face.”

“Then I got a sheet mark on my face.”

When I said that, he turned his back on me. Well, there won’t be any sheet marks left.

I snorted and started thinking about the third question again.

To be honest, there was something I wanted to ask.

‘It would be nice if you noticed me.’

That word I said just passing by. Although she let it go as if she was joking, she had a very serious face while she said it. She

Hearing that she wished he’d noticed, I wondered if maybe we’d met in the past.

But to her first question, Ina clearly answered NO. We’ve never even had a conversation in the past.

Then what does the phrase ‘I want you to notice’ mean? What do you want me to know?

…… Perhaps.

“Isn’t the image you usually show the real you?”

I want you to know.

Maybe he meant that he wanted people to notice his true self.

An angelic appearance to the other kids. The naughty look you show me. What if you’re playing one or the other for some reason? So what if you want people to recognize your true self?

What kind of answer will come back?

…… I thought, but Ina didn’t say anything. At first, I thought it was a pause, but really no sound came back.

“Over there.”

No answer.

“Yuna.”

As expected, there is no answer.

“Are you sleeping?”

Of course there was no answer.

I got up from her seat and went to the bed. She then lifted her hair to examine her Ina’s face.

…… I’m really sleeping.

Tightly closed eyes. A flat chest that rises and falls periodically. Gurgling breath. It was as pure as if her newborn baby was sleeping.

“…… Phew.”

For some reason, her shoulders lost all her strength. I wonder if I was nervous in my own way without noticing it.

Well, for the answer to the third question, you don’t have to listen.

Ina said she wanted people to be curious about herself. From now on, if you get to know Ina step by step, you will be able to get an answer someday. If you directly ask Ina about her true intentions just because she has an opportunity like this, I feel like it would be cheating.

I’m sure I would like that too.

So she wouldn’t have to listen to the answer.

I covered her with the blanket and got out of Inna’s house.

The next morning, KakaoTalk came.

[A sleeping face…… Saw?]

He replied with a bitter smile.

[Yes. It was very funny because there were sheet marks.]

All this day, Ina proudly puffed out her cheeks.
