 What in the world am I doing?

 I am currently in Asuka’s room.

 I was sitting on my knees with my back straight.

 This is not the first time I’ve been in Asuka’s room.
Although it was a familiar place, I felt more nervous than ever before.

 I was even more nervous than I had been when I first came to Asuka’s room.

 Not that I doubted it, but Asuka was in bed with a fever.

 Fortunately or unfortunately, Asuka was asleep when I arrived, so I tried not to disturb her sleep.

(“Really, what am I doing? I should have just given her a get-well present and left quickly.
…… But Asuka’s mother told me to take it easy, and I couldn’t turn back ……”).

 I couldn’t help making excuses to myself.

 I should go home now, after all….

 Yes, let’s do that.

 I made up my mind and stood up.

“Hi-Hiroto……⁉︎ W-Why are you in my room?”

Asuka woke up at the precise moment that I had planned.

 It was the reverse pattern of the other day.
At that time, I was shocked to see Asuka in my room.

“Ah, no, I’m, uhm, I-I’m sorry! I will go home now!”

“W-Wait! Hiroto.”

 As I was about to pack up and leave the room, Asuka immediately stopped me.

“….D-Did you come to visit me by any chance?”

“N-no, it’s not like that.
I-I just happened to pass by Asuka’s house, and your mother found me, and I just went along with it.”

“I see….
I-I’m sorry.
I haven’t told my mom that I broke up with Hiroto yet, and I’ll make sure to tell her later.”

“……Yeah.”

 Asuka puts a shadow on her face and gives a small bow.

 The cold combined with the fever seemed to be fainter than ever.

“Is your fever alright?

Yes.
I slept and I feel much better.”

“I see.”

“U-uhm, I’m sorry I did so many terrible things to Hiroto.
I’ll make sure I don’t show up in front of you anymore.
That’s all I can do for you.
…… G-goodbye”

 Asuka tells me in a weak voice.

My chest tightens up.

 This is exactly what I was hoping for.

 If I leave this room, Asuka will never come near me again.

 We can part ways without a hitch.

 But my feet refuse to leave this room.
I really am lost in my emotions these days.

“Here, in case you’re feeling up to it.
If you have the energy to eat and drink, that is.”

 I was filled with nervousness, but I summoned up all my courage to speak up.
I took out a convenience store bag from my bag and held it out to Asuka.

 Asuka took the bag with trepidation, checked the contents,

“…….
Did you buy it for me?”

“N-no.
It was a coincidence.
I bought it for myself.”

“…..Then I can’t accept it.
Hiroto should eat it.”

“I don’t care.
Just take it.”

“I don’t like it.
I’m not so greedy that I eat other people’s food.”

“You know, sick people don’t need to worry about what other people eat.”

“I don’t care.
It’s Hiroto’s.”

“…..
Alright.
I will take it home”

 As I took the bag and was about to leave again, Asuka grabbed me by the sleeve of my uniform.

“D-don’t.
I want it.
……”

“W-W-What’s the matter with you? Don’t change your mind so much.”

“Because Hiroto is lying…….”

“I’m not lying.”

“You bought that for me, didn’t you ……?”

“No, it was just a coincidence.”

“There are all the ones I like.
In addition, Hiroto, you do not like chocolate, right?

 I quickly averted my gaze to the other side.

 I was careless to bring sweets with a lot of chocolate.

 There was no way I could get away with it.

 I hand the bag from the convenience store to Asuka again.

“Thanks, Hiroto.”

“You’re welcome…….”

 Asuka smiled happily and expressed her gratitude.

 I was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

“I’m going to go home now.”

“…….Ah yes.
….Understood”

 I don’t stay for a long time to visit someone.

I gave her exactly what I wanted to give her, and it would be a good time to leave.

But when I put my hand on the doorknob, I stopped moving again.
…… I can’t just leave like this.
I haven’t said what I want to say yet.

 I guess I should really look her in the eye and talk to her, but that seems a bit of a hurdle.

 I kept my back to Asuka.

“I didn’t say don’t get involved with me for the rest of your life,”

” …………”

“We just broke up.
I mean, we’re back to where we were before we started going out.
I don’t want you to misunderstand me there.
…… Uhm …… that’s all.
I hope you get over your cold soon.”

After saying this in a mumbled voice, I opened the door.

 I wonder if I’ve caught a fever too.
My face is hot.
I need to get out of this room as soon as possible.

“…Thank you”

As I was leaving, Asuka’s trembling voice snatched my ear.

I don’t know what kind of expression she had on her face because I didn’t see it.
There is no reason for her to be thanking me…….

 I left Asuka’s room with a slightly lighter step.
