I Confessed to the crosssdresser

Chapter 32

I kept on searching for Leto, but it was difficult to find him. Unfortunately, the morning classes were over, so there was no way to see his face.

I visited the dormitory just in case, but there was no sign of his presence. It was the same with the cafeteria I passed by at the end.

I went out again since Leto was nowhere to be found.

That said, I calculated how many days are left until this month. It was just ten days.

"Only 10 days left!"

It was on a small bench.

"Leah."

Looking at his back, I had no idea what to say to him. At times like this, I really wanted to tell him the truth about the novel <How to Recognise the Murderer>.

What would happen if I told him everything about the book? Two reactions came to mind.

The first is that fortunately it works out positively and he understands everything and changes the future.

Apart from that, several negative situations came to mind one after another. Eventually, I decided not to bring it up and approached Leto. He was startled when he felt my presence.

"Don't run away!"

When I said it, Leto's action stopped. With the current situation, I wanted him to be angry, but strangely, Leto said nothing. His silence scared me. Please, I wish he could say something.

"......Sorry."

"What?"

Surprisingly, it was Leto, not me, who apologised. I was surprised by his sudden apology.

Before I could come to my senses, Leto stared at me and soon got up from his seat and approached me.

His hand trembled as he held my hand with a crestfallen expression.

"I was being sensitive."

He was struggling to say something, holding it in. Why is he apologising to me? Was he such a weak-hearted person? No, even if he was a weak-hearted person, he was not the type to reveal his mind. But now Leto was very anxious. About what?

"S-So don't abandon me...Don't say you don't like me anymore. Just, continue to like me like you used to."

"What are you misunderstanding?"

"Unlike me, you are very popular with other kids. There are also many people who like you.

Among them, I...... Damn it. I'm just, I'm just one person. I may not be special to you anymore, but......."

"Leah."

He wouldn't listen to me.

"But can't I get the biggest percentage of them? Am I being selfish? I'll do my best! I won't get upset about trivial things like before!"

"Listen to me!"

In the end, I placed my hands on Leto's cheeks. Then Leto looked down at me with his deep black eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not angry! On the contrary, I felt bad since I thought I had hurt your feelings this whole time!"

Leto turned his head.

"That's because there are many people around you besides me......."

"I don't know what you're misunderstanding, but I didn't lose my affection for you."

It was an instant that my firm words brought a bright smile to Leto's lips.

"Really?"

I nodded as his face lit up as he asked.

"Yeah. I won't lose my affection unless you do first."

"No way!"

"Alright."

"No one will believe it, though? It would be faster to spread rumours that you and senior broke up instead."

"Then let's spread the rumour that he and I broke up right now. Then it'll be resolved."

I thought the matter would be solved easily, but opinions diverged in unexpected places.

"What are you talking about? I should be the one to dump you."

"Why me?"

"T, Then are you sure you're fine to have rumours with me?"

"It's awful. But the sound of me being dumped by you is also awful. Let's just say I dumped you."

"That's awful, too."

Everything they said was awful.
