At night, Hakuto sat in the chair at his desk in his room, staring at the closed door nearby, frowning.
"It's almost dawn..." Hakuto crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"I'm really something..." Hakuto thought to himself. He had actually taken Nao's challenge seriously!
He wasn't someone who cared about such things... or at least, he shouldn't have cared... right?
Hakuto scratched his hair, letting his originally tied-up hair fall loose.
But just a second later, his hand was on the doorknob of his room.
"Huh? What am I doing?" Hakuto wondered as he slowly opened the door and walked out.
Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)?! Who is controlling my body?! I need to change clothes and sleep!!
Hakuto felt like his legs weren't his own, like someone else was controlling him!
Without realizing it, Hakuto had walked into the living room and arrived at the door of the second bedroom.
Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)!!?
Hakuto widened his eyes. He didn't know why he was here. His goal was to sleep!
No, sleeping with someone isn't sleeping... Wait?! Why am I thinking like this? Who is controlling me?
"Stop it, damn hand! Don't knock on the door!" Hakuto was sure this wasn't his intention. Absolutely not!
It felt like staying up late. Even though he knew staying up was a slow death, he couldn't stop doing it.
But if staying up late was a slow death, then living itself was too...
No, no, what am I thinking?!
Hakuto wanted to slap himself. The most important thing right now was to turn back. If he got caught, he would die socially on the spot!
Hakuto nodded. He didn't think anyone could control him.
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, his hand, which had already been lowered, landed directly on the doorknob of the second bedroom!
Huh?! ⊙▽⊙?
The next moment, Hakuto opened the door, and a scent unique to Nao wafted through the crack.
How to describe the scent? Nao didn't wear perfume, but she had a faint fragrance on her body.
It wasn't the smell of shower gel or shampoo, but something unique to Nao.
At least, in over ten years of life, Hakuto had only smelled this scent on her.
And that faint fragrance allowed Hakuto to regain control of his body...
What is this? Little head control the big head?
Hakuto held his breath, instinctively peeking through the gap to observe the situation in the room.
After confirming that Nao hadn't been disturbed and that no one in the room had moved, Hakuto sighed in relief.
"She's asleep, and the door isn't locked..." Hakuto muttered.
But just as he was about to close the door and leave, the door, which had been slightly ajar, suddenly swung open wide under Hakuto's gaze!
And Hakuto, who had been holding the doorknob, was suddenly pulled into the room by the force!
Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)?!
Twenty minutes earlier, in Nao's room.
Nao was sitting on the carpet, leaning against a small pillow, wearing headphones and staring at the door, raising an eyebrow.
Isn't Hakuto supposed to come?
Nao thought to herself as she realized she was nearing the end of the song on her MP3 player.
There hadn't been any movement. Could it be that Hakuto was truly impotent?
Nao frowned. For the sake of their future marital harmony, she decided to take the initiative.
But just as she stood up and was about to reach for the doorknob, she heard a faint noise.
"Damn hand! Don't knock on the door..."
Nao frowned. She was sure she wasn't imagining things. Because of the sound, Nao instinctively leaned against the wall and hid behind the door.
Soon, she watched as the door to her room slowly opened.
Her heart unconsciously raced. Although she didn't care about such things, when the moment came, she still felt a bit nervous.
The scent of Hakuto was outside the door...
As Nao was thinking about what kind of posture she should adopt to face Hakuto, she suddenly heard him mumbling to himself.
"Is she asleep?" The next second, Hakuto prepared to close the door and leave.
(●—●)?!
Nao, hiding behind the door, was stunned... What? You opened the door just to check if I'm asleep?
When we were fighting, I never saw you hesitate like this. Now that you're at the door, you're pulling back?!
Nao shook her head helplessly. The next second, she placed her hand on her side of the doorknob and suddenly yanked it open!
"Bang!" The sound of the door hitting the wall echoed as Hakuto, who had been pulled in by the inertia, stood dazed in front of Nao.
"Still... still not asleep?"
"Aren't you the same?"
What happens when two people who are emotionally distant fall in love? Probably this situation.
Both of them knew full well what they wanted, but neither of them said anything.
Hakuto slowly closed the door. The room was dark, only illuminated by the faint moonlight.
However, Hakuto was different. He could see a large portion of the room clearly.
Thanks to the enhancement from his supercomputer, Hakuto could see even in the darkest of environments.
Nao's room was decorated quite simply. Perhaps because she had just moved in, many things hadn't been bought yet.
Hakuto looked at Nao standing in front of him, swallowed, and realized he was experiencing something for the first time in his life... even after living two lifetimes.
But at this moment, Hakuto noticed that Nao's face seemed to have a slight flush.
Perhaps even the coldest of people have some kind of reaction to these things…
