17 – Don’t know why I’m pouting?

Everything in the world has a reason.

Therefore, there must have been a cause for this situation today.

I turned my eyes to the side and looked to the side of the classroom.

A group of girls were chatting together. Some are seated at their desks, and some remain seated. Of course, Inna, who would be saddened by the number of friends, was included.

Let’s listen for a while.

“I heard mint chocolate was delicious?”

“Wow. What flavor do you eat it with?”

“I should eat toothpaste before I eat mint chocolate.”

Well, what a productive conversation.

Everything becomes fun when exams are coming up. The exam is right next week. It was understandable that everyone wanted to hear their own taste for mint chocolate out of nowhere.

In the midst of that, Ina seemed unwilling to lend her strength to either side. She smiles and only occasionally puts in a choo-im-sae, but doesn’t say anything else.

One of them jerked her head towards Inna.

“How are you?”

“Huh? Me?”

As the arrow of conversation was directed at her, she blinked for a moment.

“I don’t like it or hate it.”

“Again?”

The rest smile bitterly as if they were being ridiculous. However, she eventually began to laugh, saying, “Is this the kind of girl I was originally?”

As expected, Ina was the same as usual.

The bell rang and Ina returned to her seat.

You can talk a little bit until the teacher comes. The other day, I set an unspoken rule, ‘Let’s not pretend to be friendly in front of others’, but this time was an exception. Because there is a reason for that.

She said in a voice so quiet that only Ina could hear.

“Over there.”

“… ….”

“Hey.”

“… ….”

“Can’t you hear me?”

“… ….”

No matter how much I try to talk to her, she doesn’t even give me an answer. Well, I think something similar happened yesterday. Is it because of the mood?

There was a reason for talking to Ina like this.

Ever since she went to school in the morning, the condition of the seat next to her was unusual.

When I got to my seat, she was just staring out the window with her chin resting on her chin. She didn’t even look at her this way. As usual, as soon as I arrived, he would have greeted me with a bright smile.

At first, I wondered if I was in a bad mood today. But even during breaks, and even during breaks after that. She didn’t talk to me at all.

It was like a surprise to me. Ina hadn’t been this cold since she first approached her.

“Why are you doing this today?”

After her persistent question, Ina finally gave her head back.

A sullen face full of displeasure turned to me.

“…… Why? Is it because you really don’t know?”

“Uh, yes.”

I’m sorry, but I really don’t know.

After answering that, she let out a deep sigh.

“You really don’t know why I pouted?”

“… ….”

I never thought I would actually hear this.

‘Don’t you know why I’m pouting?’

This is a conundrum that humanity has never been able to solve, and it was also a suppressor that could easily strangle the opponent.

If you don’t know why, it means you’re not interested. If you know the reason, it’s even worse because you know it.

Anyway, there might be a way to beg for forgiveness, but then ‘Why are you sorry?’ There may be a follow-up hit. If you gloss over there, you will be branded as an unscrupulous person who only pretends to be sorry without knowing why.

I am stranded and there is no corner to escape. It was completely cornered.

Until yesterday, there was no sign of this at all.

I’d say it’s special…… Well, he didn’t answer the question of whether he likes him, but that’s probably not the cause. If that’s the case, you should have been pouting since yesterday.

So what happened last night?

I decided to look back for a moment.

I was going to take a shower before going to bed, but my sister stopped me. Contrary to my worries, fortunately my sister wasn’t hiding under my desk. Even if I didn’t do that, it was thanks to the means to bully me.

It was about Ina.

“Is the news that you are dating a girl named Yuina really a lie?”

Looks at me with suspicious eyes.

“Yes. It’s really a lie, so get out of the way.”

Of course there is no way to escape.

“If it’s Yuina, that’s her, right? She’s super pretty in first grade and a little short and thin looking?”

“She was in first grade last year, so she is in second grade this year.”

“So you admit that she is very pretty?”

You attack with the same pattern as last time. Well, Ina’s appearance belongs to the objectively pretty axis. It won’t be a problem whether I admit it or not.

As I snorted, he closed his eyes and glared at me.

“Anyway. You said you were very, very close to that child? I’ve heard it all. Even if you grab her, it’s useless, so confess quickly. Otherwise, I will arrest you.”

“I will exercise my right to remain silent.”

“What? Tell me soon Isn’t that the kid I was talking about? Are you dating what?”

It seems that even the right to remain silent is not allowed in front of my sister.

Well, there is no point in making a hasty argument. You’d better wash up quickly and go to sleep.

“You are right. I’m not dating. And what is it? We are just friends.”

As soon as I gave a rough answer, my sister put her hand on her waist.

“I see… …. Then how did you end up dating a kid like that?”

“I’m not dating.”

Why do people selectively believe what people say?

My sister shrugged her shoulders and corrected the question.

“Then how did you get along so well?”

“We’ve never gotten very close. It’s just that someone saw me talking in the room. Okay, okay?”

When I said it clearly, she nodded her head as if she would understand. Did she hear now?

“Um~ I get it.”

“Okay? Then get out of the way.”

“Yes.”

And a word.

“I know you are hiding something.”

Soon after, my sister passed me by, raising the corner of her mouth as if plotting something.

After that.

I didn’t know what my sister’s smile meant, and I took a shower trembling with fear of her.

Then I lay in bed, terrified of what my sister would do.

Oh, and looking at her cell phone, she saw a missed call from Ina, but she threw it away as she thought there was no need to call.

…… Uh?

&

“Are you mad that I didn’t answer your phone?”

Insolvency after school. She asked Ina, who still had her cheeks puffed out, and she raised her head. Then she responds in a pouting tone.

“Now do you understand?”

Was that correct answer?

No. It wasn’t the time when I was comfortably saying ‘Was this the correct answer’?

It’s only natural to get angry when you contact someone and they don’t answer or send you a message. Even so, I roughly threw it away, and had completely forgotten about it until a while ago. This was purely my indifference.

“Sorry.”

As soon as I apologized, Ina pursed her lips and expressed her dissatisfaction.

“If everything is forgiven saying sorry, why would there be a policeman?”

“Well, I’m not trying to catch the guy who didn’t answer the phone.”

“Are you going to answer me?”

“No. Sorry.”

Stop it without me noticing.

“Do you know how anxious I was?”

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Well, there’s something else to put your mind to sleep. As she thought for a moment, she turned her gaze to Ina’s stale corner.

“I wonder if…… I thought I was mad because I said something strange yesterday.”

Strange words. It was clear what it meant.

Yesterday, Ina brought up a topic that we rarely bring up. It was a question of whether you like yourself. The moment I heard that question, I froze, and Ina didn’t ask any more.

On the surface, it ended like that.

It seems that I have left my own worries and Ina’s own worries.

It is difficult for the atmosphere to become awkward again. After clearing his throat, he opened his mouth.

“It wasn’t like that. I just did it because it bothered me. Sorry.”

“If you’re sorry, everything?”

I didn’t expect to actually hear these words.

It seemed that he had no intention of forgiving him by saying he was sorry. Are you asking for some kind of compensation?

What can I do for Ina? While scratching my head, I came up with a suggestion.

“Uh, what is it? Okay. Then, I’ll call you first today.”

“Really?”

Ina pushed her face in and her eyes lit up. The twinkling eyes look as if they are about to shoot a beam.

“Yes. Really.”

Then, Ina closed her eyes tightly, and soon a smile formed on her face.

“Yes. Okay. I will forgive you!”

He shakes his body from side to side as if he forgot how angry he was just a while ago. Uh? What? Could it be so easily relieved? I was staring at Ina, dumbfounded, so she tilted her head.

“Why is that?”

“No, I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel better.”

When she said that, she laughed.

“Don’t you know why I feel better?”

“…… I really don’t know.”

Women’s minds are so erratic.

With that thought in mind, I sighed.
