Chapter 22 - Slowly
Kira squeezed her hand but when the girl didn\'t react or make a move, Kira didn\'t even know if he should laugh or cry so all he did was grumble noisily as he ran his fingers through his hair. "This girl… this squirrel… are you really asleep? Huh? Or are you pretending to be asleep after you slap my handsome face?!" Kira bit his lip because despite his words, no movement came from her, as if she really was in a deep slumber.
His sharp gaze toward her changed the moment he realized that she really was asleep again. His hand was still holding her wrist. This was the first time he was face-palmed like this in his entire life. Yet, this squirrel had the audacity to do it to him while she was asleep and with such gorilla-like strength?! How could this girl do this to the great him?! And how the hell did she go back to sleep straight after?? Was she such a sleeping log as well?!
Heaving a really deep sigh to calm himself, Kira looked up the ceiling and closed his eyes. He felt once again defeated.
However, the moment he opened his eyes and looked at her, the squirrel had already raised her head and…
Her long black hair covered her entire face! She looked like Sadako appearing out of nowhere!
Kira\'s eyes bulged out of their sockets and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest from the fright! He stumbled backwards to instinctively put some distance between him and this scary-looking creature! It took some moments for his brain to kick in and tell him it wasn\'t a real ghost sitting in front of him. He put his hand over his heart, which was racing just a moment ago, as if to push it back inside his chest again and he slowly calmed down as his mind took over.
Kira\'s widened eyes blinked a few times before his shoulders dropped and he pinched the skin between his brows. "Squirrel… do something with your hair or I\'ll shave it off!" he threatened with a low and seemingly troubled voice but the girl, who was still in a daze, didn\'t even move.
This made Kira snap and with an annoyed look, he reached out his hands and touched her hair. But the moment he shoved her hair behind her ears, Kira halted in place.
His eyes were on her face and he looked like he was surprised with what he saw. Truth be told, this was the first time he had a clear view of her face. Her long hair always covered most of her face as though she was purposely doing it to hide away. But this time, Kira had seen it and for the first time, he fell in a daze by looking at a girl\'s face.
The atmosphere as he gazed at her slowly turned a bit somewhat romantic. Pink bubbles were starting to form around them as the quiet breeze blew gently through the window. Kira\'s gaze never left her even for a split second and the moment his eyes fell on her lips…
Kira subconsciously moved his face closer to hers, slowly.
