Chapter 63 - Chapter 62: Almost, But Not Quite

The bathroom was filled with soft steam.

Sakura stood in front of the mirror—

face still pink.

Heart still racing.

"…Why am I so shy…" she whispered, covering her face.

---

Knock knock.

She froze.

"Sakura," Koharu's voice came from outside, calm as ever,

"I'm leaving. I have some work at the office. See you later."

Sakura blinked.

"…Okay…"

A few seconds later—

door opening…

door closing…

Silence.

Sakura let out a small breath.

"She left…"

---

She stepped out of the bathroom.

Hair slightly damp.

Still shy.

Still smiling to herself.

And then—

suddenly—

She was pulled.

---

"Ah—!"

She fell back onto the bed—

Koharu above her.

Sakura's eyes widened.

"…You didn't leave?!"

Koharu smirked slightly.

"I said I was leaving."

A pause.

"Not when."

---

She leaned closer.

Hovering over Sakura.

"My love was shy…" she whispered near her ear—

her breath warm.

Sakura froze instantly.

Her face turned even redder.

"…Koharu…"

---

Koharu smiled softly.

Moved closer—

their lips almost touching—

just one second away—

---

Click.

The door opened.

---

Rinn stepped in—

froze—

then immediately turned around and covered her eyes.

"We are getting late—"

A pause.

"I didn't see anything."

---

Behind her—

Aiko walked in.

"Why didn't you see anything—"

She looked ahead.

Paused.

"…Oh."

---

Sakura pushed Koharu quickly.

Sat straight on the bed.

Koharu sighed softly—

clearly annoyed.

---

"What's happening?" Aiko asked.

"N-nothing!" Sakura said too fast.

"Let's go for breakfast!"

---

Koharu muttered under her breath—

"I was about to get my breakfast…"

"…but these two idiots came out of nowhere."

---

Rinn whispered dramatically to Aiko—

"…I'm dead."

Aiko raised a brow. "What?"

Rinn sighed,

"I ruined their kiss. I'll become a ghost now."

Aiko smirked. "Good. Don't visit me."

Rinn whispered seriously,

"No… I'll visit you at midnight."

Aiko: "…Don't."

---

Koharu stepped closer to Sakura again—

leaned slightly toward her ear—

and whispered softly—

"In your house… I'll never get to kiss you."

---

Sakura froze.

Again.

Completely.

---

Aftermath ☀️

The chaos settled somehow.

OG left for breakfast—

still whispering, still teasing.

Rinn and Aiko followed behind—

Rinn dramatically holding her chest like she had committed a crime.

"I can already feel my ghost form," she said.

Aiko rolled her eyes. "…You're fine."

---

Meanwhile—

Koharu walked calmly beside them.

Like nothing happened.

But her eyes—

briefly glanced at Sakura.

And a small smirk appeared.

---

Sakura looked away quickly.

Heart racing again.

Because now—

one thing was clear.

---

No matter how many interruptions came—

this wasn't stopping anytime soon.
