Mouichido Aeta Nara, Ippai No Egao O Chapter 7

The one room that was connected to the living room becoming the maid’s chamber, Maria, who finished her meal, went to the bedroom to arrange it. Tinaria, who was left alone, approached the window and gazed at the moon that shined differently from yesterday.

Tinaria liked the moonlit nights. It made her remember the face of the young boy who smiled at her for the first time in her life…

From that day, the world that was monochrome began to shine with radiant colors. The young boy was the light that illuminated her world. Up to now, they parted in a way she wasn’t able to say thank you or goodbye, forever ———.

Tinaria remembered the former young boy who she finally met again after 10 years. His glossy black hair and navy blue eyes like the night sky were still the same. However, she remembered his eyes were clearly rejecting her.

The young boy who said while laughing “You can call me Keith”, will never call me Tina anymore. Even so, it doesn’t matter. Actually, I wanted to tell you everything and thank you. But if I were to tell you that, I am sure I would have also told you about my feelings for these past 10 years. So at least, instead of a lot of thank you, I want to be helpful to Keith. For Keith’s smile, I can surely do anything. Even if this smile will never be directed to me…
