Academy Heroine's Right Diagonal Back Seat-Chapter 402

“…Hmm, maybe?”

When I heard those words, I thought that could be true.

Just the other day, I had overslept without realizing it because of accumulated fatigue.

Maybe the fatigue that I hadn’t realized yesterday is what I’m feeling now.

As I was thinking about that, Yoon Siwoo said.

“Maybe I’ve been pushing you too hard all this time. In that case, should we take a break from doing naughty things until the end of this week?”

“Uh? Can we really do that?”

“Yeah…”

Noticing that I was complaining about my fatigue, Yoon Siwoo suggested we take a break from doing our usual naughty things until the end of the week.

Since today is Tuesday, that means… until Sunday this week?

So, for the next six days, there will be none?

“Okay! So, we won’t do it until Sunday?”

I nodded enthusiastically, as I had no reason to refuse.

“……”

And then, Yoon Siwoo made an incredibly disappointed face.

It looked like he was thinking, “Is it that much of a relief not doing naughty things with me?”

...Is he sulking?

Since it was entirely understandable from his perspective, I quickly shouted to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Ah…! I don’t mean that I don’t want to do naughty things with you…! As I said before, I like doing them with you!”

“…For someone who says that, you sure seem happy about taking a break this week.”

“Well, it’s just that we’ve been doing naughty things all the time…! There’s so much more I want to do with you, other than that!”

At my shout, Yoon Siwoo widened his eyes and asked.

“…Other than naughty things?”

“Yeah… Of course, I loved doing naughty things with you, but... there are also a lot of things couples do, right? I’ve never been in a relationship, so I want to experience things like that. Like, normal dates outside…”

I explained what I wanted from Yoon Siwoo like that.

You know, Yoon Siwoo and I haven’t even been on a date outside since we got together.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but we’ve just been doing naughty things at home every time.

Well, that wasn’t exactly a complaint.

It felt amazing, and it gave me the impression that Yoon Siwoo really loved me.

But since I had no experience in relationships, I wanted to feel that sweet, fluttery feeling of dating outside too.

Usually, couples would experience that kind of thing as they develop their relationship, but in my case, it felt like an exceptional situation.

It was like I realized I liked him and skipped the whole dating process, jumping straight into the honeymoon phase.

That’s why, even though I was late to realize it, I really wanted to experience those ordinary dates.

When I said that, Yoon Siwoo scratched his head awkwardly and muttered, as if feeling guilty.

“Ah, now that you mention it, we haven’t dated outside since we started going out… If you wanted to do that, you should’ve told me earlier… Alright, then let’s pick a day this week and go on a date.”

“Really? When will you be free this week?”

“Well, I can make time any day. I can make time even tomorrow…”

Excited about the idea of going on a date, I asked about his schedule, and as he was about to answer, Yoon Siwoo suddenly interrupted as if he just remembered something and asked in a serious tone.

“Wait a minute. If we’re going on a date outside… we’re holding hands, right? And if the mood is right, we’ll sneak a kiss away from people’s eyes, right?”

“Hmmm, I don’t know because I’ve never been on a date, but isn’t that usually the case? Hehe, imagining it makes me feel a little excited…”

As I imagined going on a date, thinking about what a normal relationship would be like, my heart skipped a beat, and I smiled bashfully.

“…So, after such an exciting date, we’ll have to wait until next week? That’s torture. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it.”

But, while I was all excited about the date, Yoon Siwoo’s expression turned serious, and he mumbled something almost too quietly to hear.

“…Hmm? What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“Well… I just realized that it’s going to be hard to find time for the next few days because of work…”

So, I asked what the problem was, and it turned out that he wouldn’t be able to find time for a few days because of work.

The guy who always took leave to do naughty things with me suddenly had work this week…

Well, since Yoon Siwoo’s an adult, there’s nothing that can be done if he has work.

Since I’ve had that experience too, I wasn’t too bothered and just shrugged.

“That’s fine, if you have work, you can’t help it. So when will you be free?”

“I think Sunday will work.”

“Really? Then the date will be on Sunday.”

Sunday this week will be the day for Yoon Siwoo and me to go on a date.

I walked over to the calendar in the living room, put a big heart on Sunday, and then looked at Yoon Siwoo with a smile.

“I hope we wake up on Sunday after sleeping tonight, right?”

“…Yeah. I really wish that would happen.”

Yoon Siwoo said in a sincere voice that he truly hoped that would happen.

However, despite both of our wishes, Sunday didn’t come right away.

The next day after Tuesday was Wednesday, and the day after that was Thursday.

But I didn’t mind the wait at all.

In fact, I liked it.

Like the fox in The Little Prince said, if you wait until 4 o’clock, you’ll start becoming happy from 3 o’clock, the closer Sunday got, the happier I became.

But it seemed like I was the only one enjoying the wait.

I realized that on Saturday evening, the day before our date.

“Finally, it’s the final boss battle…!”

“…Yeah.”

On Saturday evening, I was watching a movie with Yoon Siwoo in the living room.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

Since we had stopped doing our usual naughty activities recently, I started looking for something to do during that free time, and I happened to stumble upon this movie—it turned out to be a series.

So, over the past few nights, Yoon Siwoo and I had been watching one episode each, and today’s episode just happened to be the final chapter, where the main characters were about to face the final boss, the giant monster Beast.

“Aaah, the captain…!”

“Ugh…!”

The main characters, using all their strength, were fighting to defeat the final boss, and the suspense was so intense that I found myself clenching my fists and wiggling my butt in excitement.

“What should we do…! Just a little more…! Ugh, come on, you can do it…!”

“Ugh, grr…!”

And just when the battle was reaching its climax, I was fully immersed in the movie, cheering on the characters with all my might…

“Ah…?”

The battle abruptly stopped.

Yoon Siwoo had turned off the TV with the remote.

He interrupted the crucial scene.

Furious about the interruption, I turned around to face Yoon Siwoo, who was sitting behind me, and vented my frustrations.

“Ah, Yoon Siwoo…! How could you stop it now…! Quickly, put the movie back on—”

“……”

“Eh…?”

I stopped talking when I made eye contact with Yoon Siwoo, who was glaring at me from between my legs.

His eyes were far more chilling than the giant monster Beast on the screen, and I found myself trembling under his gaze.

He called my name with a voice full of irritation.

“…Scarlett.”

“Eek…! Y-Yes…?!”

The respectful tone automatically slipped out of my mouth.

Yoon Siwoo bit his lip tightly, sighed, and muttered.

“Are you… doing this on purpose…?”

“What, what do you mean…?”

“Are you really asking because you don’t know…?”

He said this while pulling me a little closer to him with one arm, as I was still sitting between his legs.

I couldn’t help but tremble.

The sensation of something big and firm, which I hadn’t noticed earlier while being engrossed in the movie, became apparent.

I belatedly realized.

The real Beast wasn’t on the TV screen; it was right behind me.
