Chapter 23 - Sleeping log

The soft breeze blew inside the quiet classroom. The atmosphere almost looked like bubbles were floating around as Kira and Zeri stared at each other.

Kira's hands which just touched her hair a moment ago slowly landed on the desk. His eyes never left her as his lips were getting closer to hers. The scene was like a movie in slow motion, kind of romantic and heart fluttering.

But the moment his lips were finally about to touch hers, something unexpected happened and the romantic show was cut short before the most awaited moment could even happen.

Kira's lips were just two inches away when the girl's head suddenly fell, hitting Kira's nose and causing him to immediately snap out of his mesmerized self. His eyes widened the moment he realized what he was doing and he felt his face strangely turning hot. He was quite surprised at his own actions but he didn't have the time to ponder about it because the moment he looked at her, his vein could only pop again.

The girl whom he was about to kiss a moment ago, the girl whom he thought was awake and was now finally staring back at him in a daze, appeared to be just half awake and she obviously didn't even know that she was about to be kissed. And she actually stopped his advancement without even knowing, by head butting his gorgeous nose?! This squirrel, how could she still doze off like this when a gorgeous man like me was about to… ugh! This was supposed to be the moment for you to be fl.u.s.tered and fully awaken to your senses! This was supposed to be the time for you to get carried away with the moment and yet, you…

Just as Kira was complaining within him, the girl dozed off again and her body moved sideward. Her eyes were already closed so Kira thought that she was about to fall so he quickly stretched his hand out and put it on the side of her head to stop her from falling.

"Squirrel! How could you still dare to continue sleeping when I am already here?! Won't you mind it if I'll steal a kiss from you? Huh? Sleeping log?!" he said, thinking he could wake her up with his noise. But when the girl didn't react and even seemed to have found a really comfortable position as she laid her head on his hand, Kira bit his lip, speechless. He really wanted to just kiss her but what was the point if she was asleep? Sigh…

He was supposed to feel annoyed but as he watched her sleeping face, he didn't even realize that the corners of his lips were already curving up. He raised his other hand and touched the strands of hair on her face, quietly putting them to the side so he could have full access to her face again.

He looked at every part of her face as if he was trying to memorize everything, and just like that, Kira's mood drastically brightened. He even brought out his phone and took a snapshot of her sleeping face, as he smiled to himself as if he was so amused.

Time passed and Kira's hand seemed to have finally reached its limit.

"Squirrel, don't you think it's time for you to wake up? The event downstairs is about to end and everyone is on their way up here now. Be thankful I'm gentleman enough to sacrifice my hand and turn it into your personal pillow. Just so you know I never did this to anyone before. Oh well, you're now my girlfriend so it can't be helped but… wake up already! My hand can't take it anymore!"

When the girl still didn't wake up, Kira sighed and his eyes narrowed. He then pinched her cheeks lightly and the girl finally opened her eyes.

Kira quickly removed his hand and was about to scold her when… instead of waking up, the girl's head fell on her own hands on the desk and continued sleeping in her original position, leaving Kira with his mouth agape as she shook his head.

He then ran his fingers through his hair while smiling in disbelief. T-this girl… this girl is really driving me insane! How the hell could a human being be like this?!!
