Want to be human, but cube-like

Aine tightened her arms around Alex's arm slightly, and suddenly felt that the environment here might be a little ominous.

She puffed out her cheeks slightly, and the smugness in her eyes turned into a hint of wariness.

Especially when it came to certain girls whose eyes lit up when they looked at Alex, Aine always felt that they might have ulterior motives.

"That's terrifying..."

She whispered something under her breath, seemingly completely unaware that she was also in a relationship with a girl.

"What's so scary?"

Hearing the soft whispers in her ear, Alex looked down curiously and asked a question.

"Hmm, it's nothing."

Aine gently shook her head; she had no intention of telling Alex that she was keeping a close watch on the people around her.

This idea would probably be difficult for Alex to understand.

You can see some girls cuddling together, the atmosphere is sweet and loving, and there's absolutely no room for a third person to get in.

Come on~

A quick glance revealed a girl feeding a crepe to the girl sitting next to her.

Ugh, so cheesy!

Ai-yin couldn't stand his nonchalant attitude.

"It's almost time to go in, let's go buy some food and drinks."

Pulling Alex along, she quickly led her across the waiting area to the food counter to join the queue.

"What does Ai Yin want to buy?"

Alex glanced casually at the fried chicken, burgers, and fries in the cupboard—foods she knew so well she could make them with her eyes closed—before curiously looking at the popcorn machine next to her.

The popcorn piled high in the large glass jar emitted a sweet aroma even through the container, making Alex twitch her nostrils.

She knew what popcorn was, but she and her mother had only ever made it in a furnace before. This was the first time she had ever seen a machine specifically designed to make popcorn.

"Hmm... I guess it'll be popcorn again? And two drinks too?"

Aine, who also had little interest in foods like fried chicken and hamburgers, said this naturally.

"By the way, crepes are pretty good too, Ellie, are you interested?"

However, she paused, recalling the scene of seeing two girls sharing a crepe, and her cheeks flushed slightly, lost in thought.

"Let's buy two different flavors so we can try them interchangeably!"

With a sweet smile, Ai Yin revealed her true colors.

"Yeah, okay."

Alex nodded in agreement.

During the conversation, the line in front of them cleared up. When Alex walked to the counter, she ordered a bucket of popcorn and two different flavors of crepes.

"Is there anything else you need, beautiful lady?"

The receptionist's eyes lit up when she saw Alex's tall figure and pretty face. She leaned forward, rested her elbows on the counter, blinked, and asked with a smile.

"Hmm... I'd like two more glasses of juice, Ai-yin. What would you like to drink?"

But her flirtatious glances were clearly misplaced; Alex remained unmoved, only turning to ask Aine a question beside her.

One large cup is enough!

Sensing something, Aine frowned slightly and moved closer warily, seemingly oblivious to Alex's presence, and smiled sweetly at her.

"I just remembered, I just finished a glass of juice, and I might not be able to drink another one by myself later. Ellie, why don't you order a large one, and we can drink it together?"

As if asserting her dominance, Aine turned her cheek and glanced at the saleswoman in front of the counter, then put her arm around Alex's waist and said with a pursed mouth.

"Ok?"

Somewhat confused as to why Aine had been so proactive ever since they entered the movie theater, Alex tilted her head.

……

"Ellie, you need to be careful of the girls outside!"

After entering the venue and taking her seat, Aine was still a little uneasy, frowning slightly as she spoke to Alex.

"Sometimes, they can be quite dangerous!"

She warned him as if she were afraid her child would be tricked by someone else.

"……Danger?"

Blinking, Alex repeated the sentence in confusion.

In her mind, she imagined the girl outside suddenly turning into a hostile creature and chasing after her.

"Should we strike first and wipe them all out?"

Just like dealing with zombie piglins, when you can't afford to provoke them, you'll try not to anger them. But when you have the ability to fight back, they'll leave nothing but desolation in their wake.

"Eh?"

Aine was stunned; she felt that Alex might have misunderstood something.

"Well, it doesn't have to go that far..."

Although she didn't quite understand, Aine had a feeling that Alex might actually do it, so she quickly said.

"Ahem... Let's not talk about this anymore."

Despite having started the conversation herself, Aine awkwardly skipped over the topic and took out two crepes, handing one to Alex.

"Try this first. Speaking of which, has Ellie had any crepes since she came to Tokyo?"

The original plan was to share the food, so there was no need to distinguish who would eat which flavor. Ai Yin lowered her head and casually took a small bite.

"I've never eaten it before, but it smells delicious."

Alex leaned closer to smell it, then took a small bite, chewing it with her cheeks puffed out.

"sweet."

A very ordinary evaluation was given.

"Then try mine?"

With a slight blush, Ai Yin stood close to Alex, offering her crepe and bringing it to Alex's lips.

"Come on, open your mouth~ Ah~"

He even whispered something.

"Does Aine's taste sweeter?"

Alex, who probably doesn't know how to judge the quality of food, could only use such shallow words to describe it.

"Hehe~ really?"

Watching Ellie take a bite out of the spot she had just bitten without any hesitation, Aine, who had successfully fed herself, subconsciously revealed a satisfied smile.

"Then, I want to try Ellie's share too!"

Her face flushed as she looked at the small, cute teeth marks on the crepe Alex handed her and quietly swallowed.

Then, in the pitch-black theater, the feeding was done again, but in reverse.

"I think Ellie's portion is sweeter..."

Deliberately biting the spot where Alex had bitten, Aine lowered her eyes and smiled shyly.

The two, so lovey-dovey, didn't even bother to pay attention to the movie that had already started airing.

…………

P.S. There was construction going on downstairs today, and the hammer drill was making my head buzz. It was so uncomfortable, and it took me ages to finish writing this.

I don't know if I'll be able to write tomorrow. If I'm not, I'll have to take a day off. Let's see if the noise continues.

Volume 1: Chapter 167 I'll Be Entangled with You for a Lifetime

A movie is not a short movie, but in the minds of the two, it seemed like only a short time had passed.

When they walked out of the movie theater, both girls had a faint blush on their cheeks, making them look very beautiful and charming.

Ai Yin gently tugged at Alex's sleeve and followed beside her, her head lowered. She walked along, pursing her lips, her eyes somewhat lost in thought, as if she was still savoring something.

This was the first time she had ever kissed Alex secretly in front of so many people.

Yes, just now, in the movie theater, in the dark, they kissed for a long time again.

It's all because of the plot of that movie...!

The plot was so ambiguous, and in the end... and...!

"Ugh...!"

Aini let out a small sob and covered her face in embarrassment.

Her feelings were very complicated. She felt ashamed that she might have corrupted Alex, but she also experienced a unique kind of excitement from what she had just gone through.

Oh, and those couples over there too!

Thinking of this, Ai Yin puffed out her cheeks again, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction.

As the movie progresses, when the two female leads confess their feelings to each other and kiss, several couples nearby start cuddling and whispering sweet nothings to each other, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.

The girls around them were all hugging and kissing, how could she and Alex possibly resist making any moves...!

After all, it was only the second day since they had tasted that sweetness for the first time, and the two of them, having tasted the sweetness for so long, found it difficult to control themselves.

Given the slightest opportunity, they will act impulsively due to their emotions.

Moreover, so many triggers suddenly appeared around us.

The development of events then proceeded as expected.

"The honey grapefruit flavor seems to be a bit sweeter than the milk flavor..."

Just then, Aine heard Alex suddenly mutter something under her breath.

"Ellie...!"

Her face immediately turned bright red, and she muttered a soft, angry rebuke.

Of course, Aine could understand what Alex meant.

The drink they just had was honey grapefruit tea.

Because Aine was indeed feeling quite full, aside from the two bites of crepe she ate at the beginning, all the rest of the food actually ended up in Alex's stomach. She, on the other hand, drank quite a bit of honey yuzu tea because she was a little thirsty from watching the movie.

Naturally, when Alex kissed her, her mouth...

It tastes almost entirely like honey grapefruit.

Then, with that description of milk flavor, it's easy to understand that Alex was commenting on the difference between the two kisses tonight and last night.

"Milk-flavored kisses, and honey grapefruit-flavored kisses... It feels like I'm collecting achievements?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Alex said something to Aine with great interest.

"Would you like to try something different next time?"

Seemingly oblivious to Aine's odd behavior, she suggested.

I always feel that each kiss will be a novel experience.

"No way...!"

Aine, blushing so much she could barely lift her head, pursed her lips and declined the suggestion.

If this continues, I won't remember Alex's lips and tongue anymore, except when I'm drinking water!

No, that would mean I'd start missing Alex when I drink water, wouldn't it?

Now, when she drinks milk at home, or even eats milk popsicles, she suddenly blushes and her family asks if she is feeling unwell.
