Title: Can’t Even Hide My Love

“...”

Ren didn’t expect Nino to reveal something so embarrassing as soon as she opened her mouth.

Nino said to herself, “The atmosphere at that time was perfect for a love confession. The fireworks he prepared for me were shining in the sky and were very beautiful. We stood on the rooftop together, admiring them. Everyone I knew stood behind us, whether they were sisters or friends, they were all there.”

“And he stood right next to me, just a stone’s throw away.”

“So, I confessed to him.”

“He said he didn’t like me, and he never had any feelings for me.”

“In front of everyone, with him preparing fireworks for me, I was mercilessly rejected by him.”

“I didn’t tell anyone about my confession beforehand. I just couldn’t control my emotions and suddenly thought of it. I didn’t use the atmosphere to force him to agree. I just wanted to express my feelings to him.”

“Since then, I’ve never seen him again, and our communication has become very rare.”

“My relationship with him seems to have changed, but it also seems to have stayed the same.”

“After all, I was the one who took the initiative to chat with him, and I was the one who took the initiative to meet him, so after I let go of the initiative, everything became like this.”

“Thinking back, the confession was indeed too impulsive, wasn’t it?”

“Kamikawa-san, what do you think?”

After saying that, Nino looked at him, waiting for his answer.

“...I have no idea.”

Ren avoided the issue.

“If anyone can say it, it’s not you.” Nino sighed and looked out the window again, “If you can, I hope you can give me a definite answer.”

“Why me?”

Ren was silent for a moment and asked this question.

“Because I have no one else to talk to, and I don’t want to hear warm concern.” Nino said in an uncertain tone, “I know my sisters care about me a lot. For a while, it depended on the status of my relationship and emotional changes, but if I told them what I just told you, I can imagine their answers.”

“It would be nothing more than comfort, saying it’s okay, that kind of thing is not what I want to hear.”

“What’s the use of concern? Can it change reality?”

“Tell Fumino and the others? I don’t think they would be able to give any hidden answers. They are equally gentle.”

“As for father and teachers? That’s even more impossible.”

“After all the exclusions, you are the only person I know.”

“To be honest, I don’t dislike you. I have a good impression of you as just a friend. And you’ve helped me. You have quite a good personality.”

“Also, you’re quite cold and ruthless. I hope you can tell me from the most objective perspective whether I should have confessed my feelings at that time.”

“So, I decided to listen to your opinion.”

Speaking of this, Nino’s tone became much lower, and her words showed a deep indifference.

“But you need to tell me objectively, the whole process of that night, without any personal feelings.”

After thinking for a long time, Ren finally chose to agree.

It was true that she was the one involved, but Ren was not.

Therefore, he needed to know everything himself to be able to give his answer.

And he also needed time to think.

“No problem.”

Nino turned to him and began to tell the story.

From the perspective of an observer, without any personal feelings involved, and without any psychological changes.

Ren not only listened but also thought about what happened that night.

The process from meeting to confession to rejection and separation was not complicated. Even if you listened to a detailed explanation, it wouldn’t take long.

“Nino and he were separated.”

As these words fell, the commentator’s words ended.

“Can you give me an answer now?”

Nino took a sip of milk tea, wetting her throat, and asked again.

“You shouldn’t have confessed.”

Ren gave his answer.

“Why?” Nino asked with interest, “I want to know your reason for saying that.”

“Because after he rejected you, you said, ‘Is that so?’, which shows that you already knew your confession would be rejected.” Ren said indifferently.

“For that.” Nino agreed, “That’s right. Before I confessed, I already suspected I would be rejected.”

“Then why did you still express your feelings?”

This was something Ren couldn’t understand, especially after Nino admitted it, he felt even more confused.

“Didn’t I already tell him everything? I just wanted to express my feelings to him. The result wasn’t very important...”

Nino only said that and then changed her mind.

“No, I still had fantasies in my heart.”

“Similar to subtle thoughts like ‘Maybe I’m wrong’ and ‘What if he also likes me.’”

“Are you sure he also liked you?” Ren’s tone remained indifferent.

“It’s fine, I felt very complicated at that time.” Nino fanned her face with her hand, “As someone who first expressed their feelings, they must hope the other party would agree, at least a little bit?”

“Sorry, I don’t know much about this aspect.” Ren said honestly, “It’s just that in my opinion, you didn’t need to confess at that time.”

“That’s clear.” Nino said with a smile, “Actually, I don’t think I should have confessed my feelings at that time either.”

“As long as I didn’t confess, our relationship could have continued as usual.”

“But controlling your emotions is difficult, especially for me.”

“I had held my feelings for him for a long time, and I had always held back.”

“But after seeing the fireworks he prepared for me, I couldn’t hold back anymore. Even though I knew I would be rejected, I decided to tell him how I felt.”

“How could I be so clumsy? I can’t even hide my love.”

Nino’s tone was light, but her words were very heavy, yet she still tried hard to keep smiling.

“...”

Ren remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing him not speaking, Nino asked another question: “Kamikawa-san, do you think I should stop liking him?”

“I have no idea.”

Ren gave this answer again.

“No, you know.” Nino’s tone was very firm, “I think you can’t even answer such a simple question after listening to my story.”

“Give up, he’s not worth it for you.”

Ren answered very calmly.

“But it’s hard to give up.” Nino swung her fist as if to cheer herself up, “But I will work hard.”

“Um, good luck.”

Ren sent his blessings.
