Chapter 2: Forced kissing torture on my childhood friend

Forced kissing torture on my childhood friend

The accommodation was a hotel in Kyoto.

We had dinner together and then relaxed in the large communal bath.

And now, I found myself in the girls room.

The hotel rooms were divided into groups of four to eight people, with both Japanese-style and Western-style options.

My group had a Western-style room for four people.

When we returned to the room, some of my classmates said they were going to the girls room, and I decided to follow.

“Wait, you’re coming too, Boyan!?” they were surprised.

We walked down the hallway stealthily to avoid being spotted by the supervising teacher.

“Hey, Boyan! If you walk so confidently, the teacher will catch you!” my classmates whispered urgently.

“No, they won’t find me.”

For some reason, I was confident about that.

Our meeting point was the girls’ eight-person room.

It was a Japanese-style room, and futons were already set out.

There were also boys from another group there, and among them was Tokita.

And, of course, Aya was among the girls.

Upon seeing me, Aya widened her eyes but quickly smiled.

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

She probably found it amusing how I had become more outgoing in interacting with the opposite sex.

Aya was wearing a navy-blue short-sleeved parka and black, shiny jersey pants.

It was a casual sleepwear look that suited her.

Although her parka was loose, the fullness of her chest pushed against the fabric.

I noticed other boys sneak glances at her ample breasts.

Even Tokita was among them.

“Takenoko takenoko nyokkikkikki!”

We had secretly started playing games in the girls’ room, and about two hours had passed.

After playing cards and sharing ghost stories to liven up the atmosphere, we moved on to this classic game.

For some reason, there was no sign of the supervising teacher coming around, and as the lights-out time had passed, everyone’s energy had risen strangely high. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“1 nyokki!”

“2 nyokki!”

“3 nyokki!”

Everyone synchronized their actions, lifting their hands above their heads and shouting.

If two people’s actions overlapped, they lost—simple as that.

And of course, there were penalties for the losers.

“4 nyokki!”

Aya shouted and energetically raised her hands in unison.

Her breasts bounced with her movement, and for a moment, the boys’ gazes were drawn to them.

Perhaps sensing those gazes, Aya’s face turned red, and she slowly lowered her hand back down near her chest.

“Okay, Aya and Boyan lose~”

I had also raised my hand at the same time as Aya.

“Then, it’s time for a penalty for you two.”

The girl in charge picked a piece of paper from those collected in advance.

It contained suggestions for penalties.

“Um… ‘Stare at each other for three minutes’? What’s this?”

As I suspected, it was my suggestion that got picked. I had a feeling it would be.

“Anyway… should we do it?”

The girl in charge pointed to the exit of the room as she glanced between Aya and me.

Just outside our sleeping area was the washroom.

It seemed like we were being told to do it there.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be unusual for people to raise objections about being left alone with a person of the opposite sex, especially when one of them already had a boyfriend right there.

However…

“Well, it’s just Boyan after all.”

“Is anything weird going to happen?” Everyone spoke with an air of boredom.

“Alright, shall we go then?”

Aya’s expression was that of resignation, but she didn’t seem to be on her guard at all.

You could tell just how little I was being seen as a guy.

I also stood up and followed Aya’s figure.

We slid open the door to the room and stepped into the entrance space.

Aya pressed the wall switch to turn on the washroom light, then opened the door.

“Go ahead”, she gestured with her eyes, and I entered first.

It was a regular Western-style washroom.

“Well then, shall we start our staring contest?”

When I turned around, Aya had a mischievous look in her eyes as she closed the door behind her.

“Okay, we’re doing the staring contest.”

“It’s a penalty after all. But just so you know, I’ve never lost a staring contest.”

With a serious expression, Aya came closer until she was within arm’s reach.

Being face to face like this, I could see the height difference.

Aya seemed to be about twenty centimeters shorter than me.

She tilted her chin up and we locked eyes.

“Ahuhuh!”

With that signal, Aya grabbed her cheek, rolled her eyes, and stuck out her tongue. The classic ‘funny face’.

It was a face that girls wouldn’t normally make in front of guys.

But that sort of unreserved attitude was also one of Aya’s many charms, I thought.

And even though she was making a ridiculous face, it was oddly cute.

After a good ten seconds of staring, Aya stopped making her silly face.

“Boyan, you’re amazing… not even a twitch of the eyebrow.”

“Alright, now it’s my turn to make a weird face.”

Saying that, I crinkled my nose, pursed my lips, and imitated Aya’s eye-rolling.

It was a much bolder weird face than I could have done a little while ago.

Now, I felt like I could make even weirder faces.

I stuck out my tongue and tilted my head back.

“Fupu.”

Though her eyes were not visible, I could tell Aya was suppressing her laughter.

After about ten seconds, I stopped making my weird face.

When I looked, Aya was clamping her lips tightly together, about to burst out laughing.

“Phew, haah… that was close. I never expected such a weird face from you, Boyan.”

Aya giggled.

I thought that meant I had won the staring contest at this point, but apparently, there was a break in the match now.

“Well then, it’s my turn next… ahuhuh!”

With that signal, Aya puffed up her cheeks.

I followed suit and inflated my cheeks with air.

After locking eyes for about ten seconds, Aya let out the air from her cheeks and her expression went blank.

“Hey, Boyan.”

Aya brought her face closer until we were practically nose to nose.

“You were looking at my breasts earlier, weren’t you?”

“Bwahaha! What are you saying…”

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Not because I was flustered, but because of her cuteness.

“Uhihi, I won, didn’t I?”

With a triumphant look on her face, as if saying ‘I’ve successfully pulled a prank’, Aya grinned.

“Seriously, what are you saying, Aya?”

“I only say things like that to you~”

It was a face that seemed like she didn’t have a care in the world about me. No matter what, she believed that nothing weird would happen between us—it was clear.

Alright, this charade has gone on long enough.

“Yeah, I was looking.”

“Huh?”

To my words, Aya let out a surprised voice.

“I’ve been watching you, Aya.”

I took a step closer.

With that, my body brushed against Aya’s soft chest.

With her slightly clueless expression, her mouth hanging open, I kissed her.

“Mm…”

I enveloped Aya’s half-open lips with my own half-open lips.

There was a light suction sound as our lips met, and I could feel the moist sensation.

Perhaps due to our faces being so close, I could smell the body soap and shampoo from the communal bath on her body and neck.

There was a faint trace of sweat or perhaps a mild, sweet body scent.

My favorite scent.

After about three seconds, Aya’s body finally trembled.

I released her lips slowly.

Aya remained frozen in the same vacant expression she had before the kiss.

Her eyes were slightly moist.

“Boyan, why…?”

Aya’s eyes didn’t hold any sensuality or romantic feelings. They were filled with confusion, shock, and a sense of betrayal by someone she trusted.

As we stared at each other, a voice echoed from the hallway.

“Aya! Boyan! One more minute!”

Oh, it had only been two minutes?

One minute left.

I could tell her how I felt later. Right now, I just wanted to devour Aya.

I wrapped one hand around her waist and held her chin with the other.

“Wait, Boyan… mmm! Mmnn, no, wait… mmuuuh, n… nchu.”

Forcibly pressing our lips together, I pulled Aya’s resisting face closer and kissed her again.

I pried open the gap between our sealed lips, invading Aya’s warm mouth with my tongue.

As her struggling tongue twined with mine in my mouth, she let out a muffled cry and her jaw went slack.

“Nchu, pwa… no, Boyan, stop… it’s too much…”

Tears had gathered in Aya’s eyes.

With a little pressure, they could easily spill over her cheeks.

“Only 30 seconds left!”

The voice from the hallway reached us again.

I latched onto Aya’s lips once more.

“Nggh, mm… nngh――”

“27, 26, 25…”

Seems like everyone had started counting down.

I repeatedly forced Aya’s lips open, sliding my tongue in. By the third time, there was hardly any resistance, and my tongue could easily reach inside her mouth.

Aya’s breaths and faint nose exhales warmed my face.

I tangled my tongue with hers, tracing circles and exploring untouched areas.

“14, 13, 12…”

I sucked up her saliva, then licked away any that remained in her mouth.

Moving my tongue up, down, left, and right, I searched for uncharted territory.

As I traced her palate’s rough texture with my tongue, Aya let out a strangled sound and her shoulders trembled.

“Last 10 seconds! Nine, eight, seven…”

The countdown grew louder and oddly excited.

By now, Aya’s body had gone limp, and she closed her eyes, seemingly giving in.

I ceased the assault on her mouth and slowly pulled away our lips.

A droplet of saliva dribbled from Aya’s defenseless mouth.

“Alright, it’s over!”

As the declaration came, I released Aya’s body.

Aya, with her wet eyelashes fluttering slightly, took a step back, then another, leaning against the bathroom door to catch her breath.

Her gaze was cast down, avoiding looking at me.

“Aya, people will get suspicious. Let’s head back.”

“Why, Boyan…?”

Still looking down, Aya asked.

I didn’t answer her question for now.

“I’ll go ahead.”

As I took a step closer, Aya’s shoulders visibly tensed.

Ignoring her trembling form, like a frightened animal, I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.

When I returned to the bedroom, one of the others asked, “Hey, where’s Aya?”

“Boyan, what happened?”

“Sorry, just had to use the bathroom”, I replied.

After a while, Aya came back, saying, “Sorry, sorry, just had to use the bathroom.”

“Hey Aya, how was the staring contest?”

The one leading the game looked intrigued.

But her expression didn’t hold any genuine anticipation. She had already decided that it was probably nothing.

“Yeah, um, I did it, the staring contest…”

Aya answered with an indescribable expression.

Of course, she hadn’t looked at me the entire time.

“Wait, has Aya been crying?”

Though her tears had been wiped away, her eyes were slightly reddened.

All eyes, including Tokita’s, turned to Aya.

“Oh, well… Boyan was making me laugh, that’s why…”

Seems like she decided to explain it as if she had laughed so hard she cried.

“Wait, Boyan’s that good at staring contests?”

“For real, I want to try staring at Boyan too.”

The girls, except for Aya, started to get excited.

“Huh, I want to do it with Boyan too! Let me go next!”

“Wow, doesn’t that sound kind of erotic?”

Even the guys are showing some interest in odd places.

“Nah, nah, Boyan’s a gentleman. Could you stop with that?”

“Why do you have to be the one to cover for him?”

“I wouldn’t mind being alone in a tight spot with Boyan. He has this clean aura, and he definitely wouldn’t do anything that would make girls uncomfortable. The ultimate ‘comfort man’!”

“We wouldn’t either!”

“Who knows…”

Following Anpanman, we’ve got Comfort Man now.

Seems like I’m not regarded as a man by the girls at all.

“Speaking of which, Aya’s really good at staring contests, isn’t she?”

“Huh, Aya’s good at them too?”

The topic, a typical switch-up in girl talk, shifted to Aya.

The guys are showing more enthusiasm for Aya than for my topic.

“Her funny faces are amazing… right?”

“Really? Aya’s funny faces!? I totally want to see!”

“Have you seen Tokita’s?”

“Well, I haven’t.”

For a split second, the room’s atmosphere dropped, but a girl swiftly brought the conversation back.

“Right, right, I was laughing so hard in the beginning.”

“Yeah, her funny faces are way more than you’d expect.”

Everyone seems oddly excited.

It’s like the late-night energy.

This atmosphere is likely to continue for a while.

“Sorry, I’m getting sleepy, so I’ll head back.”

I slowly got up.

“Oh, Boyan, stayed up late for a change, huh?”

“Huh, Boyan, are you usually an early sleeper?”

“Who knows…”

“We’ll stay a bit longer.”

“Later, goodnight~”

“Let’s hang out again next time~”

From the corner of my eye, I could see Aya looking awkwardly to the side.

I left the noisy Japanese-style room and entered the hotel corridor.

The lights were already off, and it was dimly lit.

Walking along, I contemplated.

I forcibly kissed Aya.

It was a passionate one, like lovers share.

And it was forceful, over and over again.

It excited me to no end.

I recalled the sensation of her soft body and moist lips.

In the past, even if I desperately wanted to kiss, I wouldn’t have done it, especially not in an enclosed space alone with her. Fear of hurting Aya, fear of being hurt myself—my rationality would have prevented me from acting on those desires.

But now, I feel no resistance.

Even though the relationship I’ve cherished with Aya might be collapsing in an instant, I’m not even slightly shaken.

For some reason, I’m certain. I’m absolutely sure that this action is not wrong.

Perhaps this is a power bestowed by the gods.

A power that’s only activated with Aya.

I somewhat grasp the quickest way to make Aya mine.

Once I returned to my room, I messaged Aya.

“Sorry about earlier. There’s something important I need to talk to you about. Can you come to my room alone? Room 307.”

Normally, it would be unthinkable for a girl to go to a guy’s room who forcibly kissed her.

But Aya will definitely come.

I somehow know that.

While being kissed and after the kiss, Aya asked, “Why?”

Why, Boyan?

Why did my childhood friend, who’s always been so kind, do this?

Why such a cruel thing?

Why, why…

To those questions, I didn’t respond.

――I want to know the answer.

If things continue like this, my relationship with Boyan as childhood friends might fall apart.

I don’t want that. I want to remain close friends with Boyan as before.

There must be a reason behind that kiss, I’m sure of it.

Maybe… he’s liked me all this time.

It’s okay.

It’s just a ‘important conversation’, so he shouldn’t do anything awful if I go to his room.

I want to believe that.

He’s not the type to do things that others dislike.

The guys from the same room will probably be back soon anyway.

It’s okay.

It’s okay.

Because it’s Boyan.

――Ayane’s thoughts are so clear to me right now. I understand them as if they’re right in my hand. I just know.

Ayane really struggles with being disliked by others.

She doesn’t want anyone to dislike her, so she tends to accept anything.

It’s one of Ayane’s numerous charms and one of her many weaknesses.

A notification lit up, and I received a message from Ayane.

“I’ll come over now.”
