never say i like you

"."

Terrible. Is that really the case...

Editor-in-Chief Kamio. How do you deal with things? Why did trouble come to him in the end?

"Oh... Yes. Yes. Hehe..." Hojo Ichikawa smiled awkwardly. After answering Seto Kazeta, he immediately regretted it. He really wanted to slap himself.

Why do you say 'yes'. At this time, of course, you have to refuse without hesitation. No one would throw a stone at their own feet. Can you regret it now....

"In this case, let's talk in another place. It's not convenient to stand here and talk all the time."

Just when Hojo Ichikawa wanted to speak up again to reject Seto Futa, Seto Futa spoke up one step ahead of him.

"..."

It's over. It's impossible to refuse now. Right now, I can only pray that Seto Kazeta can quickly finish what he wants to say. Then he can sneak away as soon as possible.

……

That's it. Hojo Ichikawa and Seto Futa came to a small park nearby. They found a relatively quiet place and sat on the grass casually.

The environment of this small park is good. The surrounding scenery is also beautiful. Because it is cold winter, there are very few people who come to this park. It feels very peaceful. However, the atmosphere of Hojo Ichikawa and Seto Futa at this moment It seemed extremely embarrassing.

"..."

Ah. I really want to go home quickly. What do you want to do with this atmosphere? Hojo Ichikawa, who was already a little impatient, couldn't help feeling so annoyed in his heart.

It was obviously Seto Kazeta who wanted to explain something to him face to face. That's why he obediently followed Seto Kazeta here. As a result, both of them were already sitting here quietly. It's been half an hour without talking. However, they didn't even say a word. They just sat still like this.

It's not a man-made statue. It just sits like this and doesn't speak. Who can bear it.

Hojo Ichikawa has reached the point where he is about to blow his hair. He doesn't care so much now. Since Seto Kazeta has nothing to say, then there is no need for him to stay here and waste time with Seto Kazeta Yes. He's going home to make supper now.

Just when Hojo Ichikawa was about to get up and leave, Seto Futa finally made a move. He quickly grabbed the right hand of Hojo Ichikawa who was about to get up and leave. The movement was graceful and gentle, and Hojo Ichikawa Pull it back again. Let him sit on the grass again.

"."

What? He didn't speak and wouldn't let him go. Is Seto-sensei okay....

"Hojo. Let me ask you. Why didn't you choose me. You still chose that Sakata Mitsuha. Obviously that man is a troublesome weirdo. But why. You still choose him." Seto Futa finally agreed He spoke. And it was before Hojo Ichikawa was about to speak.

"Hey..." He was the one who wanted to speak first. Unexpectedly, he was taken a step ahead. He was asked another question that made him speechless. Hojo Ichikawa suddenly lost his mind and could only stare blankly. Looking at Futa Seto, I want to answer him but I don't know what to say.

"Because you are even weirder than Mr. Sakata." Hojo Ichikawa answered silently in his heart. But he didn't dare to say it verbatim like this.

Indeed, Mr. Sakata is very weird. He has a flawed personality. He is also a dangerous man with gay tendencies. But when he is with Mr. Sakata, he unexpectedly feels very stable and at ease. Because Mr. Sakata will never treat him Doing very excessive things. Or doing things that disgust him.

(At this time, Hojo Ichikawa was completely unaware of what Sakata Mitsuha usually did to him. For example: kissing, touching, even taking off naked, hugging and sleeping together, etc. These kinds of actions that only exist between lovers are actually It has already exceeded the boundaries of "excessive" and "disgusting" that Hojo Ichikawa said. It's just that Hojo Ichikawa himself has already acquiesced. So I don't think that what Sakata Mitsuha did to him is so strange and disgusting What. But when Hojo Ichikawa understands this. It will be a long time later.)

In fact, Hojo Ichikawa should have discovered a problem a long time ago. That is: he really thinks that the man Sakata Mitsuha is very bad, with various flaws and various bad things. Sometimes he even thinks Sakata Mitsuha is very annoying. But That's all. Hojo Ichikawa still didn't reject Sakata Mitsuha. On the other hand, if it was another man like this, Hojo Ichikawa would act very decisively, reject very ruthlessly, and hate him thoroughly.

Hojo Ichikawa has already regarded Sakata Mitsuha as a special existence subconsciously. But Hojo Ichikawa himself has not noticed it. Or maybe he has already noticed it. It's just that he doesn't want to admit it. .

Because Hojo Ichikawa feels that once he admits that Sakata Mitsuha is special, it is tantamount to admitting that he has fallen in love with Sakata Mitsuha. Only this is the only thing. As a man, he will never compromise easily.

Just like Seto Kazeta who is sitting next to him now. Just like what Seto Futa said. Sakata Mitsuha is a weirdo. It is also a weirdo that makes editors have a headache. But in Hojo Ichikawa Come on, Seto Futa is at least three times more blamed than Sakata Mitsuha.

"Hojo. Why are you in a daze. I'm asking you something. You haven't answered my question yet." Seeing that Hojo Ichikawa not only didn't answer his question properly, but was also in a daze on his own. Seto The wind is too unhappy.

Are you thinking about that Sakata Mitsuha again? Why are you thinking about that man all the time? Obviously the man sitting next to you is me.

What good can that Sakata Mitsuha do?

hateful……

"Uh... sorry. I was distracted just now. Actually, I think Mr. Seto is very good. But I am already the editor in charge of Mr. Sakata. I have never been a person who likes to give up halfway. Now that I am in charge of Mr. Sakata, then I I have to be responsible to Sakata-sensei to the end. My dream is to become an excellent manga editor. If it is because the writer I am in charge of is difficult to deal with, then I will give up. I think the distance from my dream will become even more distant. So... ..." Hojo Ichikawa did not lie. The reason why he chose to continue to be the editor of Sakata Mitsuha is not only related to GAY, but also the dream he mentioned just now.

Hojo Ichikawa had a dream when he was a child. Originally, he wanted to be an excellent manga editor. So Hojo Ichikawa felt that the most difficult big-name manga writer like Sakata Mitsuha was better than someone who could let him go smoothly. A big-name manga writer like Seto Kazeta who will work well with editors should be able to push him towards his dream.

Moreover, Hojo Ichikawa himself is indeed a person who really hates giving up halfway. So what Hojo Ichikawa said to Seto Kazeta now, he didn’t say anything except that he was worried about being entangled by Seto Kazeta, a man who likes men. Except for coming out, the other words are the truth. He is not lying.

"Okay. I have roughly understood. You don't have to force yourself to continue." Seto Kazeta saw Hojo Ichikawa's face full of embarrassment. He didn't want to continue to embarrass him. Anyway, he already roughly knew the reason. Having a dream is Good thing. He can understand.

As long as I didn't lose to that man Mitsuha Sakata, I lost to something like 'dream'. Seto Kazeta thinks he can still accept it.

"Sorry, Seto-sensei." Even though Seto Futa had already said that, Hojo Ichikawa still felt a little sorry.

"Hehe... Hojo. It's nothing. You don't need to feel sorry." Seto Kazeta, who saw through Hojo Ichikawa's mind at a glance, comforted Hojo Ichikawa with a chuckle.

"..."

He obviously rejected Seto-sensei. Now he has to ask Seto-sensei to comfort him. Hojo Ichikawa suddenly feels inferior.

"Hojo. You know. I never believed that there would be such a thing as 'love at first sight' in this world." Seto Kazeta suddenly changed the subject. And it was what Hojo Ichikawa was most worried about. a topic.

"Uh..." Hojo Ichikawa didn't know whether he should reply at this time. He wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.

Seeing Hojo Ichikawa frowned. A beautiful doll's face was full of troubled expressions. It felt particularly awkward. Seto Kazeta couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Hojo Ichikawa is really cute. .

"Although I don't believe in 'love at first sight'. But, when I first saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight. Hojo. Do you understand what I mean?" Seto Kaze It’s too much of a smile. Continue to continue what I didn’t finish before. My eyes are fixed on Hojo Ichikawa. I don’t even blink.

"."

After listening to what Seto Kazeta said, even if he had already prepared himself mentally, he already knew what Seto Kazeta wanted to say. But when he heard what he said from the mouth of the deity Hojo Ichikawa was still shocked by those words.

Damn it. I have been messing around for so long. Will it still turn out like this? Sure enough, I chose Sakata-sensei. It is the most correct not to choose Seto-sensei. Look. Now the fox tail of this elegant man is all exposed Here we come.

Ahh. I really want to get out of here and run home.

"That... Sensei Seto. Don't look at me like this. Actually, I'm a man." Hojo Ichikawa pointed at himself, looked at Futa Seto with a half-smile and said.

Although I know that the other party doesn't see me as a girl, Hojo Ichikawa still wants to remind Seto Kazeta a little bit, so that Seto Kazeta can give up as soon as possible.
