Pink.
"Oppa."
Ah, it lightened a bit.
"...Oppa?"
"Ah, yeah?"
"...You weren't listening to me, were you?"
She grumbled, "You're really too much—," her cheeks puffing out just a little. Watching her like that, my lips curved up without me even realizing it.
She knew full well where my gaze was directed.
But from long experience, I knew all too well that if I didn't handle this right, those cheeks would puff up for real.
So I reached out and lightly poked her soft, squishy cheek.
Pong—
With a cheerful sound, it sprang back to normal.
Smiling, I gently stroked her cheek.
"No, I was looking at your eyes. Really."
"My eyes are mostly pink whenever I'm with you, Oppa...."
"...Yeah, that's true."
Even so, guessing her emotions from the subtle shifts in shade each time—even if it was the same color—was one of my small guilty pleasures.
Of course, knowing what those pink eyes meant when we were alone together—almost always a deep pink—made it a little, no, quite embarrassing for me.
But she would get all shy about it every time, only to grin ear to ear like she loved it.
"Please make sure my eyes don't turn any other color... okay, Oppa?"
As if they hadn't lightened at all.
Cherry blossoms bloomed in her eyes as she gazed at me.
