Upon reaching the college gate, Mizuki had firmly decided to address the unresolved issues with both Chika and Mizuki. As she entered the classroom, she immediately noticed Chika's presence. Taking her seat, Mizuki was rudely interrupted by Chika, whose hand dwarfed Mizuki's own. The shocked students watched as Chika forcefully grabbed Mizuki and led her out to the rooftop, where she forcefully pressed Mizuki against the wall. The tense atmosphere could be felt by all as the confrontation between the two friends reached its breaking point.
Mizuki was slightly hurt by the situation and expressed her discomfort with sounds of pain. Before Chika could utter a word, Mizuki quickly advised to brush off the intimate incident they shared as if it meant nothing. As these words escaped Mizuki's lips, Chika's demeanor changed, and she expressed her anger by sternly stating, "Do you think I will just let you off the hook after that day?" Her hands firmly gripped Mizuki's shoulders, intensifying the tension in the air. Mizuki, caught off guard, found herself unable to respond, engulfed in a state of shock.
Expecting Chika to sympathize with her, Mizuki was taken aback as the opposite unfolded since she knew that Chika didn't harbor romantic feelings towards her. Drawing closer to Mizuki, Chika lowered her voice and delivered a stern warning. She reminded Mizuki that if she wished to keep her true identity as an omega under wraps and continue masquerading as a beta, she had no choice but to heed Chika's instructions. Mizuki's mind raced as she contemplated the consequences of her deception, envisioning the hefty fine she might incur and the possibility of facing disciplinary actions from the prestigious school she attended, a consequence that could significantly disrupt her academic journey.
Chika, perceptive to Mizuki's internal turmoil, understood the weight of the situation and spoke to her with a mix of authority and concern.
Chika gently touched Mizuki's trembling lips, initiating a kiss that took Mizuki by surprise. As the kiss persisted, Mizuki's initial resistance gave way to a sense of helplessness against Chika's dominant, alpha demeanor. Although she attempted to fight back, hopelessly trying to push Chika away, her efforts were futile against Chika's unwavering strength. Mizuki's cheeks flushed crimson, her ears burning with a mixture of embarrassment and defiance.
Frustrated by Mizuki's feeble attempts to resist, Chika retaliated by intensifying the kiss, holding Mizuki's hands firmly with only one of her own. With a stern warning, Chika made it clear to Mizuki that she had no choice but to obey her, compelling her to surrender to the moment. Slowly, the forced kiss blossomed into a more passionate exchange, both women succumbing to the intensity of the shared connection, lost in their own world.
After an intense moment of shared emotion, Chika finally broke away, leaving Mizuki breathless and unable to stand, collapsing to the ground in a dizzying whirl of conflicting emotions and desires. The air between them crackled with tension and uncertainty, their dynamic forever altered by the undeniable intensity of the moment they had just shared.
Chika's movements were deliberate as she approached Mizuki, whispering with a possessive tone, "Now you belong to me, and you must stay by my side wherever I go." Gently, she leaned in and placed a lingering kiss on Mizuki's neck, leaving a conspicuous mark. A genuine smile adorned Chika's face as she made her way back to the classroom. Meanwhile, Mizuki found herself in a quandary, her mind swirling with a multitude of unanswered questions. Uncertain of her next move, she was left pondering what actions to take in light of Chika's intimate gesture.
After a few minutes of contemplation, Mizuki arrived at a resolute decision – she would break up with Nozomi, no matter the circumstances, as she couldn't bear to see him being cheated on. Nozomi had always been incredibly kind to her, which made the decision even more difficult. Gathering her resolve, Mizuki made her way to class. As she entered the room, she couldn't help but notice the curious gazes of her classmates fixed upon her. Feeling increasingly uneasy, she hurried to her desk. However, before she could settle in, her friend confronted her with a question that caught her off guard: "Are you and Chika dating? But isn't both of you already seeing other people?" The evidence of her rendezvous with Chika was apparent, with a bleeding lip and a conspicuous hickey adorning her neck. Flustered and embarrassed, Mizuki rushed to the washroom to tend to her injuries. Despite her efforts, she could only do so much to alleviate the pain. Returning to class, she caught Sakura's scrutinizing gaze fixed upon her lip and bandaged neck. The jealousy and anger simmering in Sakura's eyes did not go unnoticed by Mizuki, who felt the weight of her disapproval. Reacting impulsively, Sakura stormed out of the classroom, pushing past Mizuki in a display of her seething emotions.
Mizuki had just settled into her desk when Aina's words made her feel a pang of guilt. According to Aina, the school beauty was in a fit of rage because Chika had publicly broken up with her just minutes before in front of the entire class. As the teacher arrived and started the lesson, Mizuki couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that hung in the air.
During tiffin time, Mizuki was in a rush as she ran to catch up with Nozomi, who had just arrived at the classroom door. Chika, feeling discontented with the current situations, hastily exited the classroom. Sensing the urgency of the moment, Mizuki guided Nozomi towards the abandoned PT room, her heart heavy with the impending conversation. Once they were alone, Mizuki took a deep breath and made a difficult decision: she expressed her intention to end their relationship. Nozomi's world seemed to crumble upon hearing those words, her heart breaking into a million pieces, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Overwhelmed by emotions, Nozomi pleaded, "Please, just give me a reason. I'll do anything to fix it." Moved by Nozomi's sincerity, Mizuki embraced her tightly, finding solace in their closeness. With tears in her eyes, Mizuki confessed, "I'm sorry, but I believe I'm not worthy of you. You're such a wonderful person, and I can't bear to see you suffer because of me. I just want what's best for you, even if it means letting you go." The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, a bittersweet mix of love and selflessness defining their parting moment.
