My Sweet Roomies Re-Written (Reimako Ikagami/Mitsuka Ibuki Route)

Chapter 48 - Her True Feelings

"Y-you want to talk...?" she asked nervously.

"Yes."

"What about?"

I tell her as she stands there looking confused.

"Rei..."

"I really think you should go to France."

"Are you breaking up with me?" she timidly ask looking downtrodden.

I was caught in surprise by her question I pause a little "No! I would never!."

"Then why are you driving me away?"

The colour drains from her face and she looks away from me.

"I want to realize your dreams." I implied.

"Th-That is not open for discussion anymore."

"Even so I..."

She doesn't back down and stares straight up at me.

"M-my feelings on that matter have not changed."

"I want to stay here."

"I don't want to leave the other Famille' members either!"

"And I always want to be with you!!!"

"I feel the same way."

"But it's not right..."

Rei starts shaking as I pour my heart out to her.

"I was thinking that I always want to be with you too, Rei."

"But then you would go and set aside your own feelings, right?"

"No...i..."

"You set aside your dreams for your parents and those around you."

"And now you gave up going overseas for me."

"You really do always put everyone else before yourself."

"It's that kindness that I fell in love with, but,,."

She blushes at my sudden confession.

I clear my throat at continue.

"But I don't want you to put others first anymore."

"Just as you want everyone in your life to be happy..."

"Everyone, including me, want that same happiness for you."

"I don't want you to have any regrets later."

"Which is why I want your dreams to come true."

"Mina..."

I have no idea how she will take my words.

But even so I stayed to hear her response.

After a long pause she finally spoke.

"I...the truth is..."

"I want to follow my dreams..."

"Rei..."

"Deep inside, that's what I really wanted..."

(I knew it.)

No one has notice more than me about how happy she looks when she cooks.

So I really do understand her feelings towards cooking and her dreams.

"So you do want to be a chef."

"Y-yes."

She is moved to tears, but there is uncertainty in her expression.

"But..."

"But if I go to France it will cause a lot of trouble for you."

"It won't..."

"Anyone would be happy that person they love is about to follow their dreams."

"I'm your boyfriend Rei and I'm always here to support you."

"Even from across the globe I will be supporting you."

"Mina..."

She hugs me tightly.

"Rei."

I embrace her gently in return.

"Thank you, Mina."

"It makes me so happy to hear that you will support me and my dreams."

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

We can feel each other's warmth, as we let ourselves immerse in our feelings.

I was drawn at her lavender dark eyes it felt like I've been hypnotize by the innocence of it as Rei is drawn to mine.

She pierce her lips as she breaks her gaze at me, her rosy cheeks gleamed while she silently calls my name.

"Mina..."

She's calling me, inviting me to her cherry luscious lips.

I slightly move close to her, as if teasing her feeling each other's breath.

She gave me a small smile as she moves her lips closer to mine.

We share our first kiss closing our eyes and cherishing every second of it.

It felt like my heart is about to burst and I can tell she's the same as me. Our heart is filled with overwhelming joy.

A moment pass that seems to last in eternity.

We awkwardly move away from each other blushing intensely.

"I..."

"I'm going France to make my dreams come true."

"Right."

(She managed to finally make the right decision for her.)

Then...

"But..."
