Oyasumi #20

Koharu was amped. She didn't like being alone sitting on a bench doing nothing at the park. She wanted to work, or at least socialize with somebody. "Where's Sayumi?" Koharu grunted under her breath, scanning the park for her former mentor. She would bother Sayumi at times, and it was fun messing with her, and most of the time she would have been at the park by now.

"What was that about?" A familiar voice came from nowhere. Koharu shuddered and turned around. She was face to face with a girl who had the same personality as her. "Oh, LinLin." Koharu blushed, the heat increasing in her cheeks. She was puzzled as to why she felt this way, but there was something about LinLin that she adored. "So, why are you sitting here? Normally, you would want to do work!" It was true, Koharu did want to work most of the time.

"I have nothing else to do." Koharu replied, swallowing. "Oh come on Koharu, tell me what's going on with you!" LinLin put her hand on Koharu's shoulder, making her blush even more. "You sure are hyper aren't you?" Koharu knew it was a stupid question to ask, especially to LinLin. "You're the same way." LinLin giggled, pointing to the younger. "Yes, yes, I know." Koharu waved her hand, mentally trying to calm herself.

"Koharu," LinLin looked down, slowly inching closer to Koharu. Weird questions suddenly popped in her mind like fireworks, but she didn't know which ones to ask Koharu. "Is there something on your mind?" Koharu was jolted out of her senses. She didn't know that LinLin would ask such a thing. "Well...yeah..." She replied hesitantly.

Moving all the way closer until she was beside Koharu's side, LinLin put her head on Koharu's shoulder. Confused at the sudden gesture, Koharu's face was now crimson. "Hmm..I have another question," LinLin's words were muffled, but Koharu could understand what she was questioning. "You like me."

"That wasn't a question, that was more like a statement!" A surge ran through Koharu's body as she jumped up from the bench. "Aha, so you do like me." LinLin grinned, pointing a finger to the younger. "H-How did you know?" Koharu gulped, but LinLin started laughing. Koharu was puzzled and asked, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, Koharu, you're so easy to read underneath your funny and sweet exterior." LinLin replied. "So...what does that mean? Do you like me too? What?" Koharu was probably asking a billion questions, but she wanted to know how LinLin would respond.

"Yes, Koharu...I like you a lot." Koharu didn't know what she was doing after that. All that happened was when Koharu gave LinLin a light kiss on the lips. However, LinLin returned the kiss, except this time, it was much longer.

It was getting a little late, and Koharu needed to be home by 9 PM. "I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay LinLin?" "Alright, bye Koharu."

'Am I really that easy to read?' Koharu thought to herself when she opened the door to her house.
