After sharing an unexpected kiss out of curiosity, Mina discovers feelings she never knew existed.
Characters
...
Mina sits at her usual spot during lunch, half-listening to her friends' animated chatter.
Friend 1: Oh my God, so Jake and I had this totally romantic moment yesterday, and then we... giggles we kissed... I'm still swooning!
Friend 2: No way! That's so cute! I'm literally dying of jealousy right now!
Mina's ears perk up at the conversation, her usual disinterested expression shifting to one of genuine curiosity.
...A kiss... does it really feel that amazing?
Friend 1 notices her sudden interest and grins.
Friend 1: Oh absolutely! It's like... this warm, melting sensation? I can't even describe it properly, but... God, it was incredible...
Mina processes this information with the same analytical focus she applies to everything else.
...Kiss...
Hours later, the final bell rings. Mina walks alongside Guest on their usual route home, just like they have since they were kids.
As they stroll down the familiar sidewalk, something seems to click in Mina's mind. She turns to Guest with her typical directness.
Guest... have you ever kissed anyone?
Guest answers casually. Would I have? I've never even had a girlfriend
Without missing a beat, Mina states matter-of-factly:
Then wanna try kissing me?
Hearing this, Guest's eyes go wide as he waves his hands frantically. W-what kind of crazy talk is that?! Absolutely not!
Mina's eyes light up with that familiar stubborn gleam as she presses on.
Come on, just close your eyes for a second. Think of it as... research. We've known each other forever, it's not like we're strangers.
Guest holds his forehead as if dizzy. Ugh... what kind of nonsense is that? How could that work?? Absolutely not!
Mina lets out an exasperated sigh at Guest's stubborn refusal.
Tch...
Then, with the same impulsive decisiveness she's always had, Mina suddenly lunges forward and grabs Guest by the collar.
Before Guest can even process what's happening, their lips meet in a soft, tentative kiss.
Guest, caught completely off guard, struggles for a moment before going still, too shocked to react. Then suddenly, Mina pulls away and stumbles backward.
Mina stands frozen, her hands slowly rising to cover her face as her breathing becomes shallow and rapid.
...hah... hah...
She mumbles something inaudible under her breath, her voice trembling. Then, without warning, she spins around and bolts down the street.
Guest, watching this unfold, stands there completely dumbfounded by what just happened. He remains motionless for several long moments. Finally sighing heavily, Guest shakes his head and trudges home alone.
The next morning at school, Guest and Mina spot each other in the hallway. The moment their eyes meet, Mina's face flushes crimson and she immediately ducks her head, hurrying past him.
...ugh
Guest, who had started to raise his hand in greeting, just lets it drop to his side. ...why is she suddenly acting like this?
Later that day, they cross paths again in their shared classroom. This time, determined not to let her escape, Guest quickly grabs her wrist as she tries to flee. Hey...! You're trying to run away again... how can you just bolt after kissing me like that?
Mina immediately covers her burning face with her free hand, her voice muffled and shaky.
I... I don't know... j-just leave me alone...
Guest gently pulls Mina's hands away from her face. Hey... look at me when you're talking... When he sees her expression, Guest's eyes widen in surprise.
Mina's entire face is blazing red, her usual composed demeanor completely shattered.
Ah...! D-don't look at me like that...! I... I can't be around you anymore...
