Chapter 7 - Distance.

"hey how long will you make me wait?!"

I shouted the person inside of our apartment, he does had peculiar habit which is always being late at the school, I tried many times to change this habit of him but the more I tried the more reason he come up with just to become late.

Like for example, when we're going in academy at the 7:30 am which is just the right time to go in, but that person would most likely finds a reason to become late like forgetting about something, cleaning something, it's not like he's a cleaned person for example, the room where he always paint is extremely grubby, but every morning he become a cleaner one, etc.

Even so, I still loves him despite how many flaw he does had,wa-wait, my adoration of him is growing up insanely fast, as Natsume tried to hold up herself after all, her desired is slowly taking over herself but it's not those imputed desired she's feeling with.

It's just her, wanting to hug Kai until both of them perish in this world.

"W-wait I'm almost done here."

Kai slowly opened the door, but before he could open it widely, Natsume pulled it. While Kai was startled on what just Natsume did, a soft and gentle fragrance sweap through him, and two arms like a snake hug him.

"Hey W-What are you doing?"

He asked Natsume but he didn't removed or push her from hugging him tightly instead, Kai just gently patted Natsume's head. But suddenly Natsume push him, her face is extremely red like a cherry fruit.

'W-w-what is this?'

Like before it's not a problem for him to hug Kai whatever time he like but now just by that normal hug, her whole body feels incredibly heat and she even feel more embarrassed than ever before.

Like Natsume become even more conscious of kai than ever before but it's not like this feeling is unpleasant rather it's other way around.

Before Natsume was hugging him as a 'fiancee' but right now, she were hugging him as 'girlfriend' with mutual feeling against each other unlike before that she's just doing it to make Kai loves him.

But right now, it's impossible to do things she's doing before after all, their feeling with each other is mutual, Natsume had no reason to do that right now which leaves him extremely embarrassed.

As for Kai, he was speechless on what just happened, normally, Natsume would most likely teased him until his face become red and his hearts beat extremely fast but right now, she didn't do that rather, it feels like she was the one who become embarrassed.

After that, both of them walks towards the gate of academy side by side with awkward silent, however the silent didn't make them uncomfortable but it was more like pleasant for them .

.....

"Hey bro is there change in both of your relationship?"

Rio asked me, while his face is serious.

"Yes, were now officially d-"

"Finally it look like you really followed mu advice "

Rio pridefully say.

"Thank you"

I shyly reply on him.

...

"Hey Natsume, why does you become even more prettier than before? Is there something good happened?"

Saika Asagi say, she was Natsume's best friend and cousin, the most closest person on him besides Kai.

"Really? I didn't noticed hehe but there's really good thing that happened just yesterday"

She said, trying to supressed the smiled in her lips, a smiled that can genuinely win over all of the man in the world.

"Oh ---"

Before Saika could reply, a handsome dude with golden hair come closer on her, he wave his hands trying to greet Natsume when Natsume saw him, she just smiled lightly and wave back, her smiled doesn't contain anything.

"Good morning"

He smiled, that person name is hayato soeun he is the second of the best student of first years however Natsume and his point is nowhere near enough even though he is the second best student, his point is only 857 while Natsume is 1000, his family back ground isn't as prestigious as Karazuma and Asagi family but it's still consider higher rank noble.

"Good morning"

Natsume greet him back.

When a student saw the scene, they start to gossip around everything, especially about hayato.

"That person again? He was trying to get close with our goddess, heh, it look like he doesn't know about the rumor in middle school probably because he was only transfer student here."

"Probably, hahaha, even though our goddess Natsume is friendly with everyone and she will most likely help anyone if only they seek a help on her but everyone would understand it quikly if they are smart, thatshe is drawing a line between her and the opposite sex, and the line is between being friends and acquittance probably pseudo friends"

"Yes, that's why she is always misunderstood as a person who would accept your confession because she's extremely nice on you, no, no, it's the other way around, our goddess is always nice on everyone no matter what their origin, age, sex, and etc"

"Hahaha, it look like Ms Natsume's kindness on him and he think it's because she like him"

"Ms Natsume is clearly distancing himself with opposite gender"

But hayato just ignored them, and politely talked with Natsume, he himself know the rumor in middle school after all, it's quite popular.

Natsume is being nice with everyone, and a lot of boys misunderstood it as Natsume 'like' them or they had 'small Chance ' but Natsume turned them down with polite speech, it was said, if you confess on her, she wouldn't used any harsh words on you instead a comforting one.

But hayato is still doesn't want to surrender quikly, he wants to hold on those slim chance, that Natsume would like him or give him a chance.

But Natsume just crashed it, still she's not surrendering easily, what if Natsume doesn't like him it's not like her feeling cannot be change.

"Can we talked after the cl--"

"I'm sorry, I had appointment after the class so I wouldn't be able to eat with you, I'm really sorry"

Natsume cut him off, with polite smiled, then hayato asked him.

"My I had the honored to know what is your appointment Ms Natsume?"

"Uhmm"

Natsume think first then she smiled.

"I promise my fiance that I would eat with him"

Hayato gritted his teeth, now back to the rumor while ago, the rumor said the reason why Natsume wasn't accepting any confession because of his fiance and childhood. Though, it's just engagement between their parents, it's rumor that both of them really love each other.

"Then can I walked you?"

"No, I'm really sorry Mr hayato but it looks like you doesn't understand what I just say when you confess to me few months ago"

....

December 10 2024

"I'm sorry Mr hayato but I'm afraid I cannot accept your confession, its not because your status is lower than me or anything else, it's just I can't "

Natsume bow on him politely.

"But can you give me a chance?"

Hayato desperately say, Natsume is like the light of his life after that 'happened'.

"No"

Natsume turned him down again, then she slightly change the toned of her voice.

"Please don't bothered me again, if you don't want your family to reduced into ruins."

She said in indifferent tone, Natsume right now is like a completely different version of himself, the Natsume he know is someone with gentle voice and cheerful personality, a person with extremely bright and nice personality but now?, it's completely opposite, the bright and cheerful voice of her turn into icy and indifferent, and the Natsume he knows wouldn't used a threaten words like this.

Her eyes no longer seeing him as a person, rather, it's just like she is looking in an ant that she can destroyed whatever she liked.

Naturally, it's the true personality of Natsume, a person who's looking down on everyone or rather a person who's completely indifferent with everyone except for Kai, Kai family, her family,and the person she's considering as a 'friends' but besides them, Natsume is indifferent in everyone it's not like she's looking down on them rather, it's just Natsume doesn't feel anything towards 'a person'.

Probably it's her egos as the most perfect human being born in the history of mankind, it's extremely overstimate/exaggerating to used the words 'perfect' on a human who had countless flaws and stuff but Natsume is just that perfect, probably in the future, there would be a lot of people who could become even more perfect than her but in the present and the past, Natsume is consider as the most perfect human recorded in history.

" You know? The person who's extremely closed on me or rather the person who I love the most give me a cold treatment yesterday and on this morning because of you?"

Hayato frozed when he hears it. Then Natsume also frozed, she unknowingly say a word s that she shouldn't so Natsume starts to talk towards the door of classroom.

"See you later, classmate hayato"

She wave her hands and leave the room, while hayato clearly understand what is the words she wants to convey on him, he isn't that dump not to realize it, Natsume clearly draw a line between him, which is being acquittance and classmate only.
