NOVEL NEXT Honestly, I couldn’t shake off the thought that something like this might happen again someday…
Yeah, there’s no guarantee I wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
And then there’s Kyle… he’s pretty lively in every sense, so stopping him can be a bit tricky… so I was somewhat expecting I might mess up again.
The problem was…
“Crazy girl…”
I never imagined I would actually make a mistake.
I thought if I were to screw up, most of the blame would fall on Kyle… but that was far from the case.
Yesterday’s mishap was entirely my fault…
“Ugh…”
First thing in the morning, I did a body check and replayed the memories in my head.
My body was completely disheveled, looking like someone who had partied hard the night before, and the memories…
“Crazy girl…”
Seriously crazy.
If my memory had gone blank, that might’ve been better… but it was all there, crystal clear.
I remembered changing into those clothes Louise and Elin picked out when Kyle stepped away… and how I seduced Kyle and… well, did it.
All my own doing… I had voluntarily gotten drunk!
“…Dammit.”
Plus, I suddenly pulled him in with my legs when he tried to pull out… and then… inside…
“…I’m screwed.”
As I desperately replayed those memories, it dawned on me… it was my dangerous day.
To be fair, I knew it was dangerous yesterday too.
It’s just that since I keep track of my cycle, it was naturally lodged in my memory.
“…This is a 100% chance of pregnancy…”
I couldn’t remember exactly how many times we went at it yesterday.
After all, I was pretty blitzed!
What was clear is that I completely messed up.
Just a month ago, we promised to use protection to avoid this… but yesterday was just… ridiculous.
“I’m insane…”
I had gotten carried away and didn’t think and Kyle… couldn’t pull out because of me.
Of course, from a certain point, Kyle also got carried away and went all in too, but that aside, it was too much.
Starting before sunset… we went for a really long time…
It’s obvious that more than five times had gone inside…
“…”
No kidding, no matter how I thought about it, I was definitely pregnant.
Given that Kyle had a huge load to begin with, shooting inside so many times… well, it was practically guaranteed I’d get pregnant.
The teasing I did calling Kyle a stallion… it looks like that’s become a reality.
I glanced over at Kyle who was comfortably sleeping, most likely having a great time last night.
He was blissfully unaware, looking so serene.
“…”
Seeing him sleep so peacefully made it hard to say anything.
He intended to pull out, but I wouldn’t let him.
If it were any other day, he probably could’ve pulled out, but suddenly I had this crazy strength, preventing him entirely from doing so.
Plus, I was riding him and… yeah.
“…I guess I’ll have to talk to him when he wakes up.”
It was better to let him sleep than to wake him up unnecessarily.
Besides, I needed some time to calm down myself.
“…But how the hell do I even bring this up…?”
*
“Crazy girl!!!”
“What do you want!!!”
In the quiet room with Kyle absent, loud noises erupted.
Oh, of course, it was just me and Louise making all the noise.
Naturally, the subject was related to my morning worries.
“I could have ended up having sex with someone I like!!”
“Why would a girl who’s been married for less than three months do that!!!”
“I was drunk and can’t remember anything!”
“Are you out of your mind!?”
Truth is, I remembered everything, but just played dumb because discussing it would only embarrass me further.
“Last time, I said I’d think twice before having kids, that we definitely aren’t the type to do this, just for Kyle. All those nonsense words!”
“I don’t remember anything after some time!”
“Ugh!!!”
Louise was yelling out of frustration, but that didn’t really change anything.
After all, I was the one who had the encounter!
“Ugh… so what should I do?”
“I don’t know? That’s why I came to you.”
Even I was feeling ashamed about all this.
I needed someone to consult with to know what was going on with my body, but I was too embarrassed to consult a male doctor.
Besides, I felt okay talking about it with Louise since we’ve shared worse stories than this.
“Ugh…”
“I don’t even know if I’m really pregnant.”
“Well… pregnancy, you know, it isn’t something that happens right away just because you had sex at night, right?”
“…Huh.”
“At least it’s a two-day wait before you can tell if you’re pregnant or not… are you dumb?”
“…”
That’s how it worked.
Honestly, I had no clue.
The last time I got any sex education was a half-hearted attempt in my previous life.
On top of that, the boarding school didn’t offer any proper sex education either.
I’d never sought out information on pregnancy.
“You really didn’t know…?”
“…Yeah.”
“How on earth did you become a private tutor?!”
“…”
I felt a bit embarrassed.
I really thought there was no reason for me to be embarrassed in front of Louise, but here I was, humbled.
I think it’s safe to say I was a bit dim this time around.
Normally, I would never admit to it, but this time? I owned it completely.
“Ugh… Well, the soonest I can find out is tomorrow, so come back then, alright?”
“…But it feels like I definitely did it…”
“No! It takes at least two days for anything to even develop!”
“But I’m really in danger here… and with a load like that…”
It was practically impossible not to get pregnant at this point.
There was no denying it.
So that’s why I was having this conversation.
“No, but…”
“Ugh, I don’t wanna hear it! Just come back tomorrow!”
“But wait, I still have more to say…!”
Before I could finish, I was shooed out of the room.
By Louise of all people.
“…Tch.”
Even if she thought it was annoying, can’t she listen to a friend who’s facing a serious dilemma?
I recalled her chatting with some guy at the party last night…
“…No way?”
Suddenly, a bizarre thought crossed my mind.
Connecting that with the preference Louise mentioned before.
Could it be that she was talking about some immature young nobleman who hasn’t even come of age yet…?
“…Eek.”
*
“Kyle.”
“Yes?”
“This is a really serious conversation.”
Facing Kyle, I decided to approach this with utmost sincerity.
It was indeed a serious matter, so I couldn’t just slide through like usual.
So when I spoke, Kyle shifted his expression a bit too.
It didn’t have to be overly strict or solemn…
But it was definitely a topic that didn’t warrant laughter.
“…About yesterday.”
“…”
“Well… we did it, right?”
“That’s right…?”
“But yesterday was my dangerous day.”
“…”
“…”
At my words, an intense silence fell over us.
I was waiting for Kyle to respond, but he was just keeping his mouth shut for now.
Neither of us uttered a word, the only thing audible was our breathing.
Kyle was probably recalling the events from last night.
Of course, it was me who seduced him into it, but…
“Of course! It’s not confirmed that I’m pregnant yet. But, um… honestly, we went at it a lot yesterday, right?”
“That’s true…?”
Kyle admitted it.
Honestly, there was no way to deny it considering we both witnessed that scene in the morning.
We saw the mess on the sheets and the aftermath all over the place…
There was no arguing against that amount.
“So… honestly, I think there’s a chance I might end up pregnant…”
“…That’s a good thing.”
“…Really?”
“Yes.”
Kyle’s serious expression disappeared as he returned to a regular smile, speaking casually.
As if there was nothing wrong with the current situation.
“It’s a bit sudden, but it’s definitely not a bad thing, right?”
“That’s true… but you’re not mad or anything, right?”
“Why would I be?”
“…”
Well, that’s a relief.
To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit worried while saying this.
After all, I was the reason all this happened.
I was the one who thoughtlessly seduced Kyle, ignored his attempts to pull out, and went all-in.
It’s natural to feel guilty and uneasy.
But… seeing Kyle smile like it’s nothing made me feel more at ease.
“Is your body feeling okay? No pain or anything?”
“…My lower back hurts from doing it too much yesterday.”
“Then that’s a good sign.”
Kyle responded with a smile.
Honestly seeing him like this… lifted my spirits.
“First things first, let’s check if I’m really pregnant tomorrow. Sure, we did a lot, but there’s still a chance it might not happen.”
“Well… is that so?”
“Of course, I think it’s likely that… we did do it.”
“Haha….”
Honestly… he really was a good guy.
It wasn’t just my teachings; I think it was simply Kyle’s nature that made him so kind.
Of course, my guidance played a part in his growth, but he was a good child since he was little.
Though, it’s a bit amusing that I’m now taking advantage of that good nature.
Kyle’s happy, I’m happy—so isn’t that a good thing?
Probably?
“Kyle.”
“Yes?”
“…Thank you so much.”
So all I had left to say was that simple, straightforward appreciation.
Just… an utterly ordinary expression of gratitude.
So plain it was almost boring.
“…And I like you.”
