Chapter 1: The Kiss and the Wandering

♥

Ten years had already passed since I—Ayako Katsuragi, a thirty-something year old—had taken in my niece after my sister and her husband had passed away in an accident and I’d begun raising her as my own daughter. I’d spent my days thinking it would be nice if my daughter married Takkun, the boy next door, but one day, he suddenly confessed that he had feelings for me—that is to say, he liked me, and not my daughter.

This news was earth-shattering and took me by complete surprise, like if there had been thunder on a sunny day. Once I’d learned how he felt, our relationship completely changed. We weren’t able to just be neighbors anymore.

After various complications, I had landed on holding off on deciding whether I would date Takkun or not. It was a completely pathetic response to being asked out, but the kind-hearted Takkun had accepted that decision.

Since then, we’d had several experiences together. There was the time that Takkun had caught a cold and I’d taken care of him, the time that we’d gone on a date, and the time that we’d had no choice but to stay one night at a love hotel together.

Over time, I’d begun to see him as a man and become attracted to him as a member of the opposite sex.

After that came Miu’s declaration of war with me, which ended with me learning about her true kindness that was hidden behind her plotting. Thanks to my daughter, I was finally able to realize how I felt: I liked Takkun. I loved Takkun.

There was no way I could think of him as the neighbors’ boy anymore. I’d seen him as a man and fallen for him. Once I just admitted it to myself, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. I couldn’t believe that I’d been so troubled for so long over his feelings for me.

What had I even been afraid of? Our age gap? The fact that I had a daughter? It was all ridiculous. There was no point in worrying over such things when Takkun had been screaming his love for me upon already knowing all those things.

If there had been any obstacles keeping us from being together, they were all things that I’d just made up. There was nothing to be afraid of—I had nothing to worry about anymore. He liked me, and I liked him, which meant there was only one thing for me to do here.

Things will turn out all right if I just follow my instincts. It’s all right. There’s nothing to worry about. We don’t need any words...is what I’d been thinking after we’d come home from our family trip, two days before the Obon festival holiday had begun, when I’d kissed Takkun in the entryway of my house when he’d come over to tutor Miu. There hadn’t been any words exchanged between us—it’d been a complete surprise attack.

If I were to try to explain why
