Kohane POV
After another day of skiing, the adults gather to look at some gift shop while An and I go off to the hotel room. We share a room with two double beds.
She sits on my bed and pats the spot next to her. I happily oblige and plop down on the springy mattress.
And then, she does something I didn't expect. Something that left me struggling to reply.
"Don't think that I forgot, Kohane-chan!" She wraps an arm around my shoulders.
"What was the second secret?" Words fail to come to me.
An leans in closer to my face, so close that her lips nearly graze my cheek. "Why don't you tell me, huh?" she teases, voice lowering to a whisper. "I-I . . ."
She leans back again, arm still around me. "You can tell me anything, you know!" her voice returning to its usual cheerful cadence.
"Okay."
I got this.
I can do it.
I got this.
"I . . . I have a crush on you, An-chan."
An Shiraishi kisses my cheek.
