Unexpected Incident

As for courage, Hayato felt he wasn't lacking. But seeing Kiyoko, her cheeks flushed as she clutched his sleeve, he felt she was far bolder than him. Since Kiyoko was being so proactive, it would be unmanly of him to hesitate.

Taking Kiyoko's hand that was holding his sleeve, Hayato strode into the store.

As soon as they entered, his striking appearance immediately drew the attention of the other customers. Whether they were young girls or older women, all eyes turned to Hayato. Fortunately, Kiyoko was still hiding behind Hayato out of shyness; otherwise, with the current barrage of stares, she probably would have turned and run.

"So handsome." "Mmm, his fashion sense is great too." "He's so tall, must be over 185cm." "Is the one behind him his girlfriend?" "Really? He's taken?" "Ah, what a shame." "Yeah, I'm so envious."

Familiar whispers reached his ears. Hayato was already used to people pointing and talking about him. He had intended to take Kiyoko straight to buy something, but he suddenly realized a serious problem: he didn't know Kiyoko's measurements.

"Um, Kiyoko-senpai, I don't know your measurements."

Bending down to whisper in Kiyoko's ear, Hayato asked somewhat awkwardly. Due to this intimate gesture, Hayato could clearly see Kiyoko's ears and cheeks turn bright red, which he found very cute.

Kiyoko also covered her mouth and secretly told Hayato her measurements.

"B92 W71 H93, it's a D cup."

Good heavens, he really hadn't realized Kiyoko-senpai was such a woman of great depth.

Their interaction was noticed by others in the store, and everyone instantly felt like they had just been force-fed a mouthful of dog food.

Ignoring the stares, Hayato and Kiyoko walked to the D-cup section.

"What about this one? And this one. Ah, this one is nice too."

Since they were already inside and being watched, Hayato shamelessly picked out three sets and handed them to Kiyoko. The first was a bra with a color-blocking design of white and blue, a 3/4 cup, non-underwire, printed with floral patterns, and decorated with a rhinestone satin bow in the center.

The second was a pure white bra with lace trim, embroidered with cutouts, a full cup, also printed with floral patterns, and with soft underwire.

The last one was interesting: a pure black, short, padded tank top that could be worn as outerwear. It had the same floral pattern and lace trim. Uniquely, this one had an approximately 2cm cutout decoration at the hem, making it appear more alluring.

Of course, all three came with matching bottoms, saving the trouble of coordination.

Seeing that they were indeed cuter than her own lingerie, Kiyoko felt both shy and curious.

"Hayato... why aren't you shy at all?"

Her voice was much softer than usual; if Hayato hadn't been listening intently, he might not have heard her.

"I'm shy too, but since you gathered the courage, Kiyoko-senpai, how can I back down? Besides, I've chosen them. In the future... right?"

As he spoke, Hayato, who was also feeling shy, showed no signs of it in teasing Kiyoko. Annoyed, Kiyoko reached out and grabbed his ear. Hayato, still holding the three sets of lingerie in his hands, didn't dare resist and quickly bent over to apologize.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I'm sorry, Kiyoko-senpai."

"That's more like it. If you say that again, I'll pull your ear off."

Still caring for Hayato, Kiyoko didn't pull too hard and soon let go. She then noticed his other ear, the one not being pulled, was also turning red, and realized Hayato was indeed feeling shy.

Looking at the three sets of lingerie, Kiyoko grabbed Hayato and ran to the fitting room. Taking all three sets from his hands, she went inside and pulled the curtain closed.

"Uh. Kiyoko-senpai, are you changing now?"

"How will you know if it fits if you don't try it on, you idiot? And stop talking to me."

Kiyoko, who was usually so reserved and shy, was now acting like a young girl, playfully talking to him. Hayato felt so happy today he didn't know which way was up.

Not long after, a very, very faint voice came from the fitting room.

"I, I'm done changing."

"Did you say something, Kiyoko-senpai?"

While Kiyoko was changing, Hayato had been standing with his back to the fitting room, guarding it for her, so he hadn't heard what Kiyoko said clearly this time.

Then Kiyoko fell silent. Just as Hayato was about to ask her again, confused, a fair, jade-like arm reached out from inside and grabbed his arm, pulling him in. Startled by this sudden attack, Hayato's upper body was pulled directly into the fitting room.

Inside, Kiyoko's face was flushed red. One hand held his arm, and the other covered her chest, but Kiyoko's slender arm couldn't possibly block everything. Her ample bosom, accentuated by the blue and white fabric, appeared even more fair. The light seemed to reflect off it, and the rhinestone in the center sparkled brilliantly. Looking further down...

Her flat, smooth abdomen even hinted at the shape of abs. The matching bottoms were obscured by her long, shapely legs, and her rounded knees made one want to reach out and touch them.

"Don't stare like that... How... how does it look? Does it suit me?"

Kiyoko hadn't intended to go this far. But after trying on the clothes, she suddenly remembered a friend had told her someone wanted to confess to Hayato. She trusted Hayato completely, and it was true she hadn't been jealous then. But what if? Hayato was also a boy in his prime, and what she saw that day... so she should give him some benefits now.

In a short time, Kiyoko had thought of this plan and impulsively put it into action. By the time Hayato entered, she already regretted it, but it was too late. So, she could only suppress her shyness and quietly ask for Hayato's opinion.

Hayato was incapable of speech at this moment; his brain had completely shut down. However, his eyes were still working, and his perfectly good eyesight captured the current Kiyoko perfectly.

They remained silent for about a minute. Hayato finally spoke, but his voice was completely different from his usual tone. He replied in a hoarse voice, "Very... cough cough, very suitable."

Mid-sentence, he realized his voice was hoarse and quickly coughed twice to regain his composure.

"Th-that's good then. I'm going to change into the next set. You should go out now."

Upon hearing this, Kiyoko immediately pushed Hayato. But pushing someone requires both hands, and this time, her arm was no longer covering her chest. Hayato directly saw the beautiful sight.

After being pushed out, Hayato quickly covered his nose with his hand. He could feel something flowing from his nose and fumbled for a handkerchief to deal with the emergency before it got worse.

The women around them who had witnessed the turn of events chuckled softly, clearly understanding why Hayato was in such a hurry.

This is really a case of the child running off and the parent being embarrassed.

He muttered to himself, pretending not to hear the laughter, and resumed his guard duty for Kiyoko.

The sound of clothes changing came from behind. Unfortunately, Kiyoko didn't let him see again. After a long while, the curtain was opened, and Kiyoko, having changed back into her regular clothes, walked out.

"They all fit well, but looking at the prices... let's just buy one set," Kiyoko said, quietly discussing with Hayato. She intended to buy only one set, but Hayato wouldn't agree. Since they all fit, and he had picked them out, of course, he wanted to buy them all.

Kiyoko was about to refuse again, but a single sentence from Hayato in her ear, "We'll need them later anyway," completely swayed her.

Kiyoko, dazed like a steam engine, was led by Hayato to pay and leave the shop.

As soon as they were out, both of them let out a relaxed sigh and then started laughing together. For the two of them, this had become a memorable and amusing incident.

"Even though it was an unexpected event, it didn't take too much time. Shall we go eat next, Kiyoko-senpai?"

Hayato, smiling gently, took Kiyoko's hand. After Kiyoko smiled and nodded in agreement, the two walked towards the sushi restaurant, fingers intertwined. All this fuss had made them both feel a little hungry.
