Chapter 20

I gasped for air when we reached the forest. It looks like we even stopped in the middle.

Why do we always go to the jungle?

Should I get used to it?

Wait, what’s a habit? I will stay away from him. But didn’t he say that you are not allowed to come here? So maybe it’s still possible.

“We’re not gonna do it.”

What?

Did I think he agreed to my wish?

Did he change his mind?

Why did he change his mind? I thought it was okay.

I was hopeful and excited.

But I can’t do anything if he doesn’t want to. I won’t force him. Who am I to force him to do something he doesn’t want?

I will respect his decision but I will never avoid him.

Whatever happens, because it might fall on me.

It’s better that way. At least it’s not forced to happen so there’s no need to force it.

I sighed.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to do it, Asmo. I’m not forcing you, it’s just a wish. Just maybe.”

I don’t want to beg for it.
