Chapter 5 - Unexpected risks

"But what the hell are you saying, Sora? That wasn't in the deal."

"True, but pretending doesn't just involve doing couple acts, like kissing passionately, holding hands, or going to a motel."

At first, I thought this girl was someone nice when she mentioned the kissing thing. But when she mentioned about the motel so quickly, all my expectations vanished.

"I don't understand. This hatred I feel towards this girl is inexplicable. Every time she speaks, every time I hear her voice, my body fills with anger. I don't fully understand it. I have to calm down, this feeling of not wanting to speak to her is overpowering me."

"I mean, yes, I have my feelings too. I agreed to this, but that doesn't mean I'll kiss you or we'll go to a motel."

"But aren't I a very pretty girl? Do you like men at all?"

"For God's sake! I like girls, I told you. But I want to do it with her, not with anyone else."

"You're talking about Yuna, aren't you? So you want to have your first kiss with her. But that will be impossible, my mother won't allow it. She wants to see a healthy relationship. Besides, what's that about the window?"

"What are you talking about?"

"My God, this girl is crazy. Why did I agree to this? Wait, does she even want to kiss me? I have to stop her."

"That hurts! Why did you pull away? You made me fall! A girl as pretty as me wants to kiss you and this is how you react. You won't get a girlfriend that way, you know."

"Damn, that was too dangerous. It almost did. More to the point, I have a pretty quick reaction ability. I'm glad I have that."

"I'll never do that, I'll never kiss you."

"But what are we going to do about my mother? If she finds out I'm lying, she'll force me to get married."

"Wait, did you just say she'll make me get married?"

"Yes, she'll make me get married."

"He'll make me get married?! Wait, wait, this I didn't expect. First, this girl will get married if I don't do anything. I can't risk it like that. It's too dangerous. If they find out, her family, besides being rich, could do a lot of things to me. Playing like that is extremely risky. I can pretend well, but dealing with his family is another story. But then again, do families like that still exist? This really is unexpected."

"Sora, what's wrong?"

"Wait a moment, let me think about it for just a few seconds."

"First, what if they find out something? I can think of several situations, but the most dangerous one is if they mess with me. I could say she forced me and it was all a sham, but I'd have to have the money stashed away so I could pay them back without them saying anything. Still, it's risky. I can't accept it."

"Ayumi, I guess I'll have to say no. I'm sorry."
