This also caused the two to stop their approaching movements abruptly.

There were only three people in the apartment: him, Ai, and Akemi.

So, it goes without saying whose footsteps those were.

Kōyū was alright upon realizing this, but Ai's cheeks were already flushed pink.

When it was just the two of them, she could try to remain calm, after all, this wasn't the first time.

But this was the first time in front of her own sister.

No, this is the second time.

Previously, Akemi had also appeared suddenly just as the two of them were about to meet.

A wave of shyness made Ai instinctively take a step back, pretending to turn her head to look at the rose in order to distract herself.

...

Not only Ai, but even Akemi was somewhat surprised and embarrassed.

This is the second time she has caught them in the act.

Although both times were unintentional, she still felt a little embarrassed, and her expression began to look somewhat unnatural.

This time, she tidied up the kitchen and came out normally.

Before leaving, she was thinking that after tidying up, she would go back to the room under the pretext of taking a nap, giving the two of them some space to be alone.

But she had only taken a few steps out of the kitchen when she saw that scene.

She regretted it a little.

If only she had taken her time getting ready, at least they could have kissed first.

She was amazed by this bizarre coincidence that it happened so soon after the two of them were about to kiss.

The first time was one thing, but this happened a second time?

If she had another chance, she would definitely stay in the kitchen a little longer.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

There's no going back; she's already stumbled upon everything.

She knew her sister's personality well; if she found out about this, she would instinctively avoid it and pretend nothing had happened.

Even if she goes back to her room now, the matter has already been interrupted by her.

estimate...

should...

The two of them probably won't continue today.

For a moment, Akemi, who was left standing there, didn't know what to do. Should she pretend not to have noticed and turn back to the kitchen, or go straight back to her room?

She could only think to herself:

"Wouldn't it be better if I came out later?"

"Why are you packing so quickly?"

Just as she was struggling with this in her mind, something surprising happened:

Kōyū gently pinched Ai's chin, forcing her to face him instead of turning her head to admire the roses.

Then...

To her surprise, Guangyou didn't hesitate for a moment and kissed her decisively.
