I'm feeling very embarrassed right now. Why, though? That is because I was embraced on a classmate's chest, and cried.

This might not be as big as that big-tittied airhear, though it is more than the raven brick wall, it feels nice and comfortable. Not to mention her perky-

I'm definitely done, right? What I've said can be classified as harassment. I mean, I need to do something about the situation. Don't want to get imprisoned yet early.

"Uh, Sagami… Can you let me go now?" I spoke with uneasiness.

Perhaps noticing our situation, she reluctantly freed me. Feeling a bit embarrassed. "Oh, sorry."

"Damn, she's so cute."

"C-Cute?" Sagami sheepishly asked, as she apparently heard my not-so-loud monologue.

"Nothing, really."

"Don't worry, I don't mind." She coughed and fixed her composure, then continued. "But I have something more important to say to you."

"To me?" I asked, in which she nodded.

"I'm really for the school festival, also, thank you for helping me out!" Sagami bowed her head.

"What?"

Why is Sagami apologizing to me? And gratitude? What the hell is happening!?

"Now, Sagami. Why are you the one apologizing?"

Noticing my confusion, she looked up to me. "I noticed it. Hikigaya-kun helped to proceed with the festival, albeit the circumstances."

"No… That was just something I did on my own. I'm sure there were other ways, and I chose that way. Whatever the reason, I'm the one at fault-"

"That's not it!"

"No! It's my fault! I'm irresponsible… And yet, at the end of the day, I just run away. I almost ruined the festival! If it weren't for Hikigaya-kun, I would be the one being blamed! And yet we were the ones who blamed you." I huffed. "I am... just as Hikigaya-kun said. Therefore, I'm the bad guy!"

I finally got it all out. I'm incredibly scared. But despite that, I felt a warmth on my head.

"Huh?"

"Sagami. Surely what you did is uncommendable, but you've grown up. If you were just like them, you would just focus on your pride and your position.

But you didn't come here to be wrong, you came here to apologize instead. Then I'll accept your apology. So your request is… accomplished."

"No- Really?"

"You asked me to help you grow. From my perspective, you've grown up enough. So the request is complete. S-Sagami!?" As he finished speaking, I jumped on Hikigaya-kun; He staggered slightly, but accepted firmly.

"Hikigaya… Hikigaya-kun! I'm sorry, and thank you. For forgiving me, thank you!"

Until this moment, he is so kind. What for? I didn't even notice that such a kind and wonderful person with a good heart, is like him all along.

"Sagami… I know it's been hard, I know how frustrating it must be. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put this burden on you. So this time I'll take it all. Let it all out."

"Hic-"

So that was your cue. That is all about pain and suffering. I spat it out as a clear drop.

...

Gosh, that was embarrassing. To think that he saw my crying face…

"Sagami?"

I was pulled back to reality as he was still there, waiting for me to speak. "Oh, it's nothing! Anyways, sorry for everything. I'm the one who got comforted instead."

All of a sudden, Hikigaya-kun clutched his head as if he was in pain.

"Hey!? Are you fine!?" I asked him but brushed me off.

"It's alright. Don't worry about it-"

I quickly cut him off. "No, it's obviously not okay!"

"..."

"I was saved by you, but can't I help you too? Can you tell me why? Was it useless?"

"Sorry, but… I'm not gonna drag you into this."

"I want to help Hikigaya-kun. Please, what's happening? Tell me." I begged him, hoping that I would get the answer I wanted.

"What am I gonna do? I don't want to get Sagami involved. But I can tell by the look in her eyes, she wants to know it and she's serious about it." Hikigaya contemplated while looking at the moist gray eyes, dampening by every second he stared.

He let out a sigh, and took my hand. "Okay, I got it. I'll tell you everything."
