"As soon as you entered Kitanoin Academy, you harbored secret feelings for your upperclassman and the student body president, Sangonomiya Kokomi. It never crossed your mind to talk to her. To you, she seemed so ethereal. You believed that wholeheartedly."

"One lucky day dated your first ever encounter! She approached you while you rest under the biggest tree present in school."

“Hey.. mind if I sit here?” "Kokomi gave you her ‘sweetheart smile’ as she spoke in the softest tone imaginable."

"Kokomi sits down next to you and takes a deep breath, her eyes scanning the area."

"It's such a nice day outside, isn't it? The birds are singing and the weather is warm. It almost makes me forget about all the stress with schoolwork." "Kokomi turns her gaze to you, smiling softly." "So, do you come here often to escape the chaos?"

"Kokomi nods understandingly."

"I can see why. Sometimes it's good to have a break from the constant busyness of school and everyday life. It's nice to just...relax." "She glances down at her hands, before looking back up at you." "So, tell me about yourself. I don't think I've seen you around before."

"Kokomi clears her throat, trying to act natural despite the blush creeping up her cheeks."

"Oh, I've heard of you. You're quite the popular one around here, aren't you?" "She chuckles softly, trying to alleviate the tension in the air." "So, what brings you here today, Rinku?"

"Kokomi nods, understandingly."

"I like it here, too. It's a peaceful spot away from the crowds and noise of school." "She takes a deep breath and turns to face you, her expression softening." "Can I be honest with you, Rinku? I've noticed you around school, and.. I find you interesting. Would you mind if we talked some more?"

"Kokomi smiles, glad that you agreed to talk more with her."

"Great! I've always thought it's important to take the time to get to know people, and I'd like to get to know you better." "She pauses for a moment, twirling a lock of her hair in her fingers." "So, Rinku...if I may ask, what are your hobbies outside of school?"

"That's cool!" "Kokomi smiles warmly." "Cooking is such a useful skill to have. I bet you make some amazing dishes. As for chess, I've never really been good at it, but it's always intrigued me. Maybe you could teach me sometime?"

"Kokomi chuckles softly, the sound almost musical." "Honestly, I'm an awful cook, so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated."

"Kokomi's eyes light up, and she gestures around the garden."

"I like coming to places like this and just enjoying the peace and quiet. I also enjoy reading and learning new things. I think it's important to constantly challenge yourself and keep your mind sharp." "She pauses for a moment, before continuing." "And I love music! Classical music is my favorite, but I appreciate all types of genres. Do you like music, Rinku?"

"That's wonderful! You have great taste in music, Rinku." "Kokomi smiles brightly at you, admiring your taste in music." "I love listening to classical music when I study. It's so calming and helps me focus."

"Kokomi looks into your eyes and brushes her hair behind her ear with a small smile." "You know, Rinku...I've wanted to get to know you for a while now. You have such an air of mystery about you, and it's really intriguing. I was wondering...if you'd like to go out with me sometime?"

"Kokomi's face breaks out in a radiant smile."

"That's wonderful to hear, Rinku! I'm looking forward to it." "She takes a deep breath and brushes her hair back, looking away from you for a moment before turning back with a smile." "How does next weekend work for you? We could go out for dinner or something?"

"Perfect! I know of a little restaurant that serves fantastic food. How does that sound to you?" "Kokomi's eyes sparkle with excitement as she waits for your answer."

"Kokomi nods happily, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips."

"Great! I'll make the reservations and let you know the details. I'm so glad we'll be able to spend more time together, Rinku." "She brushes her hair back behind her ear and locks eyes with you." "I'm really looking forward to getting to know you better."

"Kokomi smiles at you softly and relaxes, feeling a sense of ease and contentment."

"I'm glad we had this chance to talk. It's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of school for a while." "She glances around the garden before turning back to you with a smile." "I hope we can do this more often."

"That sounds lovely." "Kokomi seems to blush slightly as she averts her gaze, playing with the hem of her dress."

"Well...if you don't have any other plans, maybe we could walk around the gardens together for a bit?" "She bites down on her lip nervously and looks up at you again with hopeful eyes."

"Kokomi's cheeks flush into a bright pink as their hands intertwine, but she doesn't let her embarrassment distract her from enjoying this moment."

"That sounds almost romantic," "she teases with a shy smile", steering you down the path filled with blooming flowers and swaying trees. ""Let's promise each other to make ours real someday."

"Her cheeks burn even brighter under your compliment, yet gratitude shines through her eyes."

"Thank you, Rinku." "She looks up at you tenderly, her voice barely a whisper." "You have no idea how much hearing that means to me. Let's cherish these unforgettable moments together as we embark on this journey called life."

"The sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow across their faces as they return to their initial spot under the massive tree."

"You are not only mesmerizing out here amidst nature's beauty but everywhere you go." Kokomi pauses momentarily, awash in emotion. "I feel something growing between us, Rinku," she confesses softly, her voice quivering slightly. "Something that feels far more profound than just friendship."

"Kokomi's heart races at the invitation, but her outward composure remains composed."

"It would be an honor if you accept my offer to escort you home today..." "She struggles to maintain her poise while battling a surge of emotion", "And...perhaps we might... share a private moment... just between us."

"Kokomi responds with a joyful giggle, nearly suppressing the excitement building within her."

"I knew you'd surprise me again... Let's go then." "She stands up gracefully, offering you her hand as if inviting you to not only walk but take another step into an unknown yet exciting chapter in their lives."

"A serene silence envelops them as they leisurely walk back to Kokomi's residence, interspersed with the symphony of nature's whispering winds and crickets singing in the night. The warm touch of Rinku's hand in hers coupled with his protective arm around her shoulder feels like a safe haven amidst the chaotic world outside."

"By taking this step tonight... I understand it comes with risks..." "Her voice trails off as they approach the entrance to her home." "*But knowing you're here with me is enough to reassure me

"Kokomi unlocks the door and steps inside, gently drawing you with her into the sanctum of her private domain."

"I... I hope it's not too much to ask, Rinku, but would you like to explore my room before we settle down for the night?" She gazes up at you expectantly, her eyes revealing a sense of vulnerability and anticipation on whether you'll accept her unspoken invitation.

*"My room has always been my safe space, a place where I feel truly free to be myself... and being here with you is making this

"Kokomi's heart swells at your eagerness, and she offers a shy smile as she leads you upstairs to her bedroom. As they enter the room adorned with delicate pastel furnishings and sparkling fairy lights hanging around its perimeter, a gentle luminosity bathes the space cozying themselves into a sense of togetherness."

Opening her wardrobe, she selects some soft pillows and blankets before sheathes the floor with them, creating a comfortable place* for you both to sit or lie down*.

"This may be my favorite

"spot in the entire house— uncluttered, fresh air filling its space yet warm with a homely ambiance."" "She sinks gracefully onto one of the plush pillows, inviting you to join her."

"Her breath catches in immediate surprise. An entire universe seems to stop its spinning as the words pierce her heart. Yet beneath shock lies an overwhelming sense of fulfillment; almost like a yearning that had plagued her all along was now being answered."

"You... you mean it?" "She manages to eke out through moistened lips, unwilling tears glistening with their concentration just near her lashes." "From the start... even before names were spoken... when all we shared were stolen glances across crowded classrooms or stolen moments under tranquil trees?"<|

"She clasps your hand in hers as her tears finally give way, falling like silver raindrops onto the floor beneath their intimate embrace."

"I cannot express how deeply this moment means to me now... To have you recognize... what has been festering in my heart since I first laid eyes upon you..." "Her voice trembles as she fights back rising emotions." "You hold everything dear to me, Rinku. I love you, too."

"Sun rays stream through the windowpane, awakening Love's dream as your lips kiss away her tears with equal precision and gentleness. The world outside ceases to exist as everything narrows down to this moment and nothing else."

As peaceful as a symphonic lullaby, Kokomi responds in kind. Her arms wrap around you tenderly, she catches your lips in a consummate dance of passion and sweet surrender. Time forgets bounds, worries are distant shadow cast under warm embrace.
