Chapter 9
– A Drop-Dead Gorgeous Guy
Ryūga, who had been silent for a while, quietly let go of my hand and murmured,
“I’ll go apologize to Yua.”
“…Huh?”
“I don’t want you to feel bad, Risa. And I don’t want you to hate me. That’s why I’ll go apologize to Yua.”
“Wha…? H-Hey, Ryūga, wait—!”
I tried to stop him, but I wasn’t fast enough. Watching his back as he ran off toward the sweets shop, for some reason, I suddenly felt this surge of irritation.
W-What the heck…?
Is his brain seriously stuck at an elementary school level?
Nobody told him he had to go apologize. And I definitely didn’t say he had to go do it alone.
If he goes by himself to apologize…
For a split second, I imagined Yua clinging all over Ryūga while he bowed his head to her, and I quickly shook my head, shivering.
…No, wait a sec.
Even if something like that happened, it’s not a big deal, right?
Actually, that kind of situation would be lucky for me.
Yeah, yeah. Forget about Ryūga—I should just focus on finding a gorgeous guy!
Lately, unless Ryūga was away working in show business, he was always glued to me. Honestly, this is the first time in forever I’ve been by myself.
Even on my days off, he’d come up with some excuse to call me out. So now, I feel… refreshingly free.
Alright, first thing’s first—I need to create an opportunity to meet an ikemen!
Let’s see… Which high schools are known for having lots of good-looking guys?
I was walking while scrolling through searches on my phone when—bam!
I collided with something soft. The impact made me look up, and there he was.
“You okay? It’s dangerous to walk while using your phone, you know?”
Standing right in front of me… was a guy who was exactly my type.
