“Overthinking”

To be talking about my life problems with a younger boy... I think I’m doing something embarrassing.

With one hand, I’m holding an iced cocoa topped with my favorite whipped cream, twirling the straw around and around.

「You’re overthinking it. It’s fine to just wing it.」

Mika-kun, looking at me with his straight-to-the-point words and smile, is dazzling.

「It’s not like things go well more often than not, you know」

If I could think that positively, how much easier would life be?

The moment I thought a hand was reaching toward my face as I gave a wry smile, I was flicked on the forehead with a sharp smack... apparently, I’d been given a forehead flick.
