เรื่อง Kaguya-sama: Beyond the Confession

As spring arrived and the cherry blossoms bloomed, Shuchiin Academy was abuzz with preparations for the annual charity gala. event was a big deal for the school, and both Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya were deeply involved.

Miyuki, now more confident and driven, was in charge of the academic achievements segment. He wanted everything to be perfect—right down to the tiniest detail. He spent hours making sure the presentations and speeches were flawless. Despite his focus on work, he couldn’t help but think about Kaguya sometimes. He wondered if their relationship might have turned out differently if they had approached things differently.

Kaguya, using her family’s influence, was responsible for the charity auction. She worked hard to gather valuable items and get donations. Her charm and connections helped bring in impressive contributions. But even as she was busy organizing, she missed the days when she and Miyuki worked together so seamlessly. Sometimes, she caught herself thinking about him, wondering how he was doing.

Their roles in the gala required them to work together often. At first, their interactions were polite but awkward. The unresolved feelings between them made conversations a bit stilted. But as they worked more closely, they began to open up.

One afternoon, while reviewing the details of the academic segment, Miyuki looked up his notes. “Kaguya, how are things going with the auction items?”

Kaguya, checking her tablet, replied, “We’ve got most of the big items, but I still need to confirm a few last-minute donations. I’ll handle that afternoon.”

Miyuki smiled. “Thanks. I was thinking—maybe we could work on the segment introductions together? It might help the event flow better and make it feel more connected.”

Kaguya thought for a moment, then nodded. “That’s a good idea. It could make everything seem more unified. Plus, it’s less likely we’ll mess up if we’re both on stage together.”

Miyuki chuckled. “True. We might avoid some embarrassing moments if we’re both there."

Their planning sessions soon became more relaxed and productive. They talked more openly and began to enjoy working together again. The awkward silences were replaced by genuine conversations about their lives and growth. They found that they could appreciate each other’s company without the pressure of unresolved feelings.

When the gala finally arrived, the venue was transformed into a stunning space. The academic showcase went off without a hitch, thanks to Miyuki’s careful planning. The charity auction, under Kaguya’s expert management, raised impressive amounts for the cause. The event was a huge success, and both were proud of what they had achieved together.

As the night ended, Miyuki and Kaguya found themselves on the balcony, surrounded by the gently falling cherry blossoms. The night air was crisp and refreshing.

“Tonight was great,” Miyuki said, breaking the silence. “It went even better than I hoped.”

Kaguya smiled. “Yes, it was a success. And I think we managed to avoid any major mishaps. No awkward speech moments time."

Miyuki laughed. “Definitely an improvement. Maybe we should make a regular thing—just for the sake of keeping things organized and avoiding embarrassing situations.”

Kaguya laughed too. “I wouldn’t mind that. It’s nice to work together and see that we can still accomplish great things.”

They stood in comfortable silence for a moment, watching the cherry blossoms drift around them. Their relationship had changed, but they had found a new way to connect. They understood each other better now and respected the paths they were on.
