The Reason I Keep Avoiding My Childhood Friend

She eats a lot of everything. She eats a lot of meals and also eats a lot of sweets. But why is she so small?

While thinking so, the little child got up, put her hand on her belly and bowed down.

“Thank you for the meal, I’ll be on my way.”

She didn’t talk to me, she just ate and suddenly said she was going to leave.

Why don’t you express that you like me when you like me! I mean, come on! The little child was acting fine, but I got impatient on my own. The person who liked the other first would lose! So why!

I jumped up and stood in front of the little child. I should have said something, but I had to tell her to show that she likes me. But I was too shy to say anything. Then when I thought the little child would just leave, I finally shouted.

“Hey, if you want to hit me, you can hit me!”

Did I say it too clearly? The little child looked dazed. What is it, can’t you understand what I’m saying?

“Come on, slap me on the cheek!”

Then the little child’s expression changed moment by moment. She looked rather ambiguous to like me. Why! Why! Then, the little child quietly backed away with a surprised look on his face. I thought she liked me, so I tried to follow along! I thought she liked me first! I was furious at the kid’s evading behavior.

“Why all of a sudden?”

Then, the little child muttered like she doesn’t know anything. I got disappointed at the little child who said she liked me first but didn’t express it further. I wanted her to show a little more attention. I wanted her to express that she liked me a little more.

“It’s you!”

Why can’t you understand? How can I say it directly with my mouth! Hurry up and say that you like me! I hated the feeling of fretting on my own. Why are you so dull when you’re the one who confessed to me first!

But unlike me, the little child’s face was so bright.

“Ugh! I don’t know!”

In the end, I cried out and ran away. The anticipated tea time ended in vain without receiving a confession again.

The next tea time was the same. The little child’s demeanor didn’t change. Is she just trying to eat the snacks and then leave? I was a year older so I had to put up with it, but I was saddened by the little child’s indifference.

“Why aren’t you hitting me?”

When the little child said she was going back, I couldn’t stand it and asked why she wasn’t expressing her interest. The little child pretended to know nothing again. I was confused as to whether she really couldn’t understand me or whether she wanted to give me more attention and affection. I was nervous because I was afraid that the little child would change her feelings quickly.

“Why don’t you hit me!”

“Because I don’t want to hit you!”

Perhaps the little child was flustered now, she shouted, blushing. I was really surprised when I tried to yell out ‘I’m fine with it’ that I didn’t know what to do.

Has the little child changed her mind, already? Even though she was young, how can a person’s heart change so easily? I was choked up. The little child was mean. It was sadder than when Father scolded me.

“Why, why don’t you hit me?”

I widened my eyes so as not to show my ugly crying face.

“I’m not going to hit you like that!”

But the little child was shouting with a reddened face? I was taken aback and didn’t know what to do. Did she feel like I was pushing too hard? Is that why she was so lost?

“So you don’t hit carelessly?”

“Yes! It’s not like that! It is something special to save.”

At the end, she even spoke quite coyly. She was confident when she confessed first in front of the adults. So I don’t know why she’s so shy when we’re together. And even though she was trying to save it.

“I’m, I’m special…”

Even though I am someone she likes enough to confess when there are people. I want more expressions of affection right now.

“I see.”

I struggled to put up with my impatient heart. I decided to wait patiently. Right now, the little child is shy, so she’ll be anxious to hit me first. Hng! Then she will hit me then ran. Because the little child likes me more.

They say that men who are too burdensome are not attractive. I’m a charming and well-mannered person, so I will wait.
