196 – Entangled
A strange atmosphere was flowing.
Everyone was gathered together, but for some reason, the atmosphere wasn’t as lively as usual.
Should I say that I am not excited?
Standing across from her, she turned her head with a dissatisfied look.
I thought I might know the cause, but I couldn’t make a hasty guess.
That’s because I wasn’t there.
How did Seo-ah persuade Shiraishi, and what does he think of us? Everything was unknown territory for me.
I wanted to believe that she at least didn’t hate me.
“Okay then, raise your hand here!”
Yuki shouted.
“This is my first time skiing! “The person who says it’s a total jam!”
Raising his hand, Yuuki looked back at all of us.
“What, is it just me?”
Yuki was embarrassed and swung the ski pole.
“Ugh… ! Nonsense!”
“Yu-kun. “It’s dangerous.”
Haruna calms him down by rubbing on her.
Even so, does everyone really know how to ski?
After the test was over, we agreed with Yuuki’s argument and came to the ski resort, gathered in our equipment and costumes.
And Seo-ah
“……… Joy.”
She raised her hand calmly.
“Yes! “It wasn’t just me, after all!”
Yuuki, as if moved, stretched out his arms and approached Yuuko.
“Comrades!”
“You’re noisy, stupid Yuuki. “Don’t treat me the same way as you.”
“What, you said it was your first time skiing too!”
“It’s not the first time. “I have experience, but I’m just clumsy.”
I see. What’s surprising is that Haruna also knows how to ski. I was planning to come along and teach him various things.
Well, it didn’t matter.
“Okay. Then Minsu can teach me.”
“What? I?”
“You’re not planning on refusing, are you?”
I turned my gaze away from Yuuki, who was looking at me with proud eyes, and clicked my tongue.
I really had no right to refuse.
It was thanks to Yuuki that I brought Yuuko here, and it was because of my earnest request.
“Ha… “Why me?”
“I thought he would teach me in the kindest way.”
Haruna would nag a lot, and Takase-senpai, no matter what he was like, had a strict and firm personality when it came to sports, so there were some areas where it was difficult.
“I once participated in a youth ski competition and won!”
“No, that’s enough. “I’ll ask Minsu.”
“Why!?”
Because Shiraishi has an unpredictable side.
In a way, Yuuki’s choice was understandable. I guess I could say that I chose a normal person.
“Yuko-chan. “Then shall I teach you?”
“…… Please.”
“There is no need to be so nervous. “I’m not going to go on such a difficult course.”
My plan to find the right moment to flirt with my girlfriend went to waste, but guess what?
Because we all came to have fun together today.
You literally just have to spend time with everyone.
Furthermore, Yuuko… Just the fact that Seo-ah came is a good thing for me.
“Then let’s take the lift.”
“Yes, that would be good.”
Shiraishi and Takase senior moved their bodies to ride the advanced course.
Seo-ah clearly looked like she had been forcibly dragged in, but she was still full of dissatisfaction.
She made the excuse that Seo-ah had plans with other of her friends, and her prediction that she would not have made such a schedule due to her personality was correct.
After asking Yuuki to investigate, she found out that there was no such schedule.
Afterwards, she asked Yuuki to drag her out according to her schedule to go to the ski resort.
My heart just wouldn’t allow us to come alone, leaving her alone.
I wanted to believe that somehow bringing her back was a good move.
“Then Yuuko-chan. Should we go too?”
“…… Yes.”
I saw Seo-ah walking with Haruna with a nonchalant look.
“Okay then, let’s go too!”
“Where are we going?”
Although I am grateful to Yuuki for dragging her stubborn younger sister along. I never thought I would have to come this far and spend time with a guy.
“Huh? “You’re not skiing?”
“What does a guy who holds the pole upside down want to ride?”
“Huh? “Isn’t this how you catch it?”
After putting on the ski gear, I sweated while teaching Yuuki, who fell once every time she took a step, starting with her posture. What trouble is this?
“aaah!”
He held Yuuki, who was about to fall off, and sighed.
“With what confidence did you have to choose a ski resort…” .”
“That’s because a lot of people come to play this season.”
Yuki, who managed to maintain his balance, spoke.
“Now, let’s find the two people.”
“What?”
“Two women who are perfect for us.”
“…… I’m serious?”
I looked at Yuuki in despair as she put down her goggles and looked around.
“What do you think? I also want to enjoy my youth. “You can make at least one romantic memory of the snowy mountain.”
“It’s fine, but you haven’t forgotten that I have a girlfriend, right?”
“So, just be a bridesmaid! “I’m a little embarrassed by myself!”
There’s a kid like this…. A guy who can’t do anything on his own, but shows courage when he’s in a group.
That too in a bad way.
“I absolutely refuse. I will not.”
“Oh why! “Can you help my friend?”
If you’re going to do that, why don’t you bring me or a group of women.
While Yuuki, who was fully equipped, was observing the surroundings with a telescope, I saw Haruna and Yuuko skiing on the beginner course nearby.
“Ah, Yuuko-chan… ! “It was great just now!”
After coming down the gentle course, Haruna supported Yuuko and encouraged her when she almost fell. Even towards Haruna, Yuuko looked somewhat uncomfortable.
His expression was very different from the bright and brazen appearance he had when he first appeared in front of us.
They both had the same thing in common: they were unnatural.
Then why can’t Seo-ah show us her true self?
It may sound like a fuss to say ‘her true self,’ but at least there was no pretense in the difficult-to-deal-with Seo-ah that she showed when she was alone with me.
She was difficult to deal with, whether she was angry, happy, sad, or whatever, but at least at that time, Seo-ah was truly ‘Han Seo-ah.’
“Then shall we try one more time?”
“Yes….”
Should I say that now, neither ‘Yuuko’ nor ‘Han Seo-ah’ are in good shape?
“Ah… There it is! Minsu, look over there!”
Meanwhile, Yuuki, who had been continuously searching, tapped my shoulder as if she had finally found it.
“Stay still, Yuuki.”
“Let’s go. They look similar in age to us… ! “It’s perfect, it’s perfect!”
“I told you not to overstate. “Let’s just go skiing.”
“Do you think I came all this way to ski? “Just stay still.”
The pole fell on Yuuki’s helmet as he lowered the telescope and tried to lead me by the arm.
“Kkuek!”

Yuki sat down like a pig that had been whipped, convulsing and collapsing.
“Stupid Yuuki. “Will you stop doing things that embarrass your younger brother?”
“Ahahahaha… Yuuko-chan… “Maybe I hit him too hard?”
“No. “I need to shock my idiot brother like this for him to realize.”
Yes, at least for now, Seo-ah is perfect.
“Thank you, Yuuko.”
“Huh? What?”
For stopping Yuuki instead of me. That too in an easy way.
“Haruna. How about Yuuko? Was the training effective?”
“There was nothing to educate. Yuuko-chan, I learned it quickly if you taught me just a little bit.”
Even towards Yuuko, who had an awkward attitude towards her, Haruna was always kind and full of compliments.
“Then…” “What should I do with him now?”
I looked down at Yuuki, who was lying down, and muttered.
There is no point in teaching a child who has no desire to ski.
She had no intention of being dragged into hunting again.
“Then Minsu, would you like the three of us to ride together?”
“I guess so.”
“Oh, I…” .”
Yuko, who had stopped at Haruna’s suggestion, tried to say something, but was quickly cut off.
“Okay then, let’s go!”
This was because Haruna, who was holding her arm, led Yuuko to her other side.
I somehow figured out why Yuuko was hesitating. I guess it was because I thought that being between me and Haruna would be a hindrance.
Although she had sharp nerves and a difficult personality, she was also an observant woman.
Speaking of Haruna and I, when we were together, she was the type that didn’t show that she was her lover.
If it’s just the two of them, they share their affection as much as they want, but when they’re together, they don’t necessarily show it.
I didn’t really care if there were three people.
“Yuko-chan, if you practice a little more, I think you will be able to ride the beginner course perfectly. After that, shall we move on to the next course?”
“I’m good. “What do you think, Yuuko?”
“Joe, I like it…” .”
The three of us started skiing, leaving Yuuki alone.
“Okay, that’s how you ride. Yuuko-chan!”
As Haruna said, Yuuko had some riding skills.
Even though Haruna took it upon herself to fall sometimes.
“Wow… !”
Na and Haruna hold Yuuko’s arms as she manages to get down and is about to fall.
“Ah… thank you….”
“hehehe. “Yuko-chan is really cute.”
Haruna laughed as she poked Yuuko’s cheek, who was muttering shyly.
As I was watching from her side, I vaguely thought that this was what Seo-ah wanted, but in reality, she seemed to be unaware and was just embarrassed.
“Okay, then shall we move on to the next course?”
“Bu, already?”
“Then…” ! Because you learn by falling down!”
The education center is quite strict.
I move along with Haruna, who speaks with a light smile.
I got on the lift and arrived at a course with a slightly steeper hill.
“Now… slowly… !”
“You’re too high!”
“It’s okay. I’ll catch you. Minsu~”
“Oh, yes.”
I hold Yuuko’s arm from the other side.
Yuuko, who was walking slowly like a baby, stretched out her arms in disgust.
“Oh, no…” ! “I can’t do it!”
“Fighting~ Because you can do it!”
Haruna winked at me while encouraging the scared Yuuko.
I understand the signal, but is it really okay? This is also a formidable teacher.
Feeling such fear, I let go of Yuuko’s arm.
“Ah, ah… ! What are you doing! “Huh!”
At the same time, Haruna let go of her arm and Yuuko ran down her course without hesitation like a baby lion falling from a cliff.
“Yuko-chan, fighting~~!”
Haruna shouted happily at her. You’re a very strong woman, Haruna….
“Huh… hehehe….”
When we went down together and checked, Yuuko seemed to have succeeded in running successfully and was in a shaky position, out of breath.
“Okay… ! That’s how you do it! “You did it, Yuuko-chan!”
“……… ….”
Yuuko, who was looking at Haruna resentfully, lowered her head.
“I don’t want to learn from you anymore….”
“E~ Why!”
But was such education effective?
Since then, Yuuko has been able to ride her intermediate course smoothly.
Then there was no need to teach us any more, and we were able to ski freely.
“Minsu~!”
After I got down safely, Haruna, who arrived later, took off her goggles and looked at me.
“Shall we compete to see who comes down first?”
“It doesn’t matter. “Who lost?”
“Go down later and shoot snacks! How is it?”
Yes, I wanted a time like this.
Enjoying peaceful activities and being friendly with her girlfriend.
The reason why I feel like I haven’t had enough time until now is probably because my actual life, not just my feelings, has been busy.
While I was spending time skiing side by side with Haruna, it was already afternoon.
I took down my goggles and looked around to see Yuuko standing at a distant foot.
“Hey~”
When I waved her hand, she slowly approached me and stood in front of her.
“Are you taking a break?”
“Should I say I’m taking a break, a little…” .”
Huh? Looking at Yuuko, who looked somewhat strange, she let out a small sigh.
“What’s wrong? “What’s wrong?”
“…… No. “I thought you were so carefree.”
“……… ….”
For some reason, those words made me feel like I had come down to reality.
Well, I was still skiing with Haruna. Yuuko could tell that that wasn’t what he meant.
“…… Yuuko?”
She stood still for a moment, clutching her arms and saying nothing. If Yuuko remained silent, I also had no choice but to stand there quietly.
As the standoff continued, Haruna came down from above and stood next to us.
“What’s going on, you two?”
She seemed to notice right away that we looked strange.
Haruna asked, looking at Yuuko with worried eyes.
“Yuko-chan… what’s the matter? Are you unwell? Then….”
“Haru unnie.”
Interrupting her words, Yuuko raised her head.
“Uh, yes.”
“He continued to treat me kindly. “I really appreciate that.”
“…… What….”
I don’t know what Yuuko is trying to convey now.
It was the same for me and Haruna. She doesn’t even know what she’s feeling.
“Then…” Can you just show me like that until the end?”
“What do you mean… ?”
Yuuko threw the pole she was holding to the side.
She stretched out her arms and suddenly fell into my arms and raised her head.
Before those lips touch mine
“Ugh….”
Yuuko bit her lip and moved her position to kiss my cheek.
“Ah… ….”
I froze as I looked back and forth between Haru looking at the scene and Yuuko holding my face.
“Even after this, can you still be kind to me?”
“……… ….”
Yuko asked Haruna with a grin and then threw another bombshell.
“What if someone, another woman, likes this guy? “But can you still show such a good side?”
Without saying anything, Yuuko, who had been provoking Haruna, who was as frozen as me, moved her steps.
“Excuse me. Today, I felt like my stomach was turning inside out several times. “I also wanted revenge.”
“Yuko… Chan….”
Touch the cheek. My heart was beating rapidly. Yuuko picked up the thrown pole and turned around.
“I’m just going down. “I hope you enjoy your alone time like this.”
You want us to spend some alone time from now on?
As I watched her quietly disappear after leaving behind an act whose intentions were unknown to me, I tried to figure out her intentions.
But I couldn’t know right now.
