Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The Prank Backfired. Now Two Girls Aren’t Speaking To Me.
Time: 1:40 AM
Location: Cabin 2-A
Status: Critical
I was sleeping next to Riko. Comfortably. For once.
Until Yuna snuck in.
Holding whipped cream.
And a permanent marker.
She grinned.
"This is revenge for being too cute together."
She crept forward.
Closer...
Until—
WHAM.
Riko rolled over.
Elbowed me in the ribs.
I yelped.
Yuna froze mid-prank.
Then Riko opened her eyes.
Saw her.
Saw the whipped cream.
Saw the marker.
And processed everything in 0.3 seconds.
"You were going to draw on me?!"
Yuna: "You were drooling on him!"
"I WAS NOT—!"
Yuna lunged. Riko dodged.
They crashed into the dresser.
Airi burst in, wielding a flashlight.
"What is happening—"
Then Akari walked in. Calm. Silent.
Saw everything.
Sighed.
"...You guys ruin every romantic moment I don't plan myself."

15 Minutes Later – Outside the Cabin
I was sitting alone on the bench.
Covered in whipped cream.
Heart racing for the wrong reasons.
Airi joined me, handing me a towel.
"You attract chaos like a magnet."
"I attract problems."
She sat beside me.
Didn't say anything for a while.
Then—
"...I tried to delete my feelings."
I blinked. "Delete?"
She pulled out her phone.
Showed me a draft email titled:
> "Reasons Not to Love Kaito Tenma (Final)."
"I couldn't finish it."
I laughed softly. "That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen."
"I know."
She leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Dumbest thing I've ever felt, too."

The Next Day – Akari's Last Move
Camp was ending.
The bus was loading.
Everyone was tired.
Except Akari.
She pulled me aside.
Eyes sharp. Voice soft.
"I'm not playing catch-up anymore."
I blinked.
She pulled out something.
A note.
Old. Folded. Crinkled.
"...You wrote this. When we were kids."
It was the love letter.
The glitter. The hearts.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
The stupid handwriting.
"You remember this?"
"...Barely."
She smiled.
"I don't. I memorized it."
Then she stood on her tiptoes.
Kissed my cheek.
And walked onto the bus.
Leaving me standing there.
Speechless.
And completely lost.
