Transmigrated as side character, I will steal all the heroines

Ray moved his face closer to Rena while staring at her intently.

The atmosphere was too good for him to miss out on this chance. His hand holds Rena's hand, preventing her from escape.

Looking at Ray's approaching face, Rena's mind was almost blank out. She was too shy and almost wanted to run away, however looking at Ray's intent gaze, somehow his heartfelt warmth.

They haven't been in contact for too long, but the boy in front of her surely has given her one of the most precious memories in her life.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the boy to come at her.

A fleeting time later, the awaited moment came. She could felt the sweet and warm feeling spread on her lips.

Rena unconsciously moves her hand to the back of Ray's neck, pulling him closer to submerge in the deep kiss between them.

His face was so close to her that she could smell the masculine fragrant emitted from his body. Her lips brushed his, softly like butterfly wings, just long enough that she could inhale his breath, and felt the warm temperature of his skin that still lingered far after he had gone.

She was still in a little bit of trance when Ray pulled away from her face. Her hand still holding tightly on Ray's neck indicating that she wants more of the pleasure, but when she slowly opened her eyes. She instantly realized what she's been doing.

She quickly released her grip from Ray's neck and following her movement, her white face instantly turned red. Making her shy enough that she wanted to find a hole to bury her face in.

Ray look at Rena in amusement. Their intimate touch just now was a new sensation to him.

Finally, he has relinquished his "virgin other than hand" title, putting him in a higher hierarchy than most of the virgins in the world.

He grins at Rena and said in a jokingly tone,

" So, what are we right now? Are we gonna go official now?"

Ray was still smiling widely when he noticed a bitter expression on Rena's face.

" Sorry Ray, I don't wanna talk about it right now."

Normally Ray would be pretty happy with the notification, however, the gloomy atmosphere around Rena right now has also affected his mood. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

He closed Aina's notification and return his focus back to Rena.

" Well, sorry for making the atmosphere get tense. Let's continue our date Ray!"

Rena quickly return to her cheerful mood, she tried to hide the bitterness in her face, but Ray could see it clearly.

Soon, the two finished up their date. They get dinner in a nearby eatery because Rena decline Ray's invitation to eat at a high-class restaurant.

Ray once again offered to escort Rena back to her house which she didn't reject.

.

The two walked for about 30 minutes before arriving at Rena's house. Her house was a big 2 story mansion located at a prestigious location in the city. It was not surprising considering that the students from Maple-leaf academy were all from wealthy or influential families. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

He was about to say goodbye when Rena held his hand, preventing him from going home.

" Ray, say… Do you like me?"

Rena's words just confuse ray more. Rena has been acting weird since their kiss, and now this.

Ray just couldn't understand anymore what was on Rena's mind.

" You don't have to force yourself, Rena. I'll be waiting for you no matter how long it takes."

Hearing that simple yet impactful word, Rena was like on cloud nine. Tears started to flow from her eyes and her knees became very wobbly that Ray had to hold her to prevent her from falling down.

" Rena…"

*Smooch*

Ray's word was stopped by Rena's kiss. She pulled away not long after and brought ray into her house.

" Don't ask Ray, you will know sooner after you get inside."

Ray followed Rena and get inside the house, where he was shocked by what he saw.

" What the-"

The inside of the house was empty. Aside from a few chairs and tables, most of the furniture was not there. It was very in contrast with the glamorous outside appearance of the mansion.

Rena pulls Ray and lets him sit on a chair in the corner of the room. She leans into him and begins to tell about her story.

The Vermillion family, Rena's household was initially a wealthy family. They were a giant in the food industry and has a few high-class restaurants in the city, of which one meal could cost more than $10000.

Their family was living happily without any need to concern about money. However, when his father suddenly died of an accident, her family starts to crumble.

Their business was snatched away by his father's business partner and enemies. Most of the chefs from the restaurant rebel and leave the restaurant, and some of the restaurants even went into reds leaving them with a huge amount of debt.

All of those happened in the short span of 1 month after her father's death.

The family has no other choice but to sell most of their assets. They sell all of their restaurants, leaving the first restaurant his father opened and the mansion.

Rena was a bit lucky that her father has paid all of her school tuition before leaving, so she could still study in the Maple-leaf academy, but her sister was another story.

The Vermillion household has 2 daughters, Rena Vermillion and Aiko Vermillion. The younger of the two siblings, Aiko Vermillion was currently in her final year of middle school and would enter high school next year.

The family had tried their best to accumulate money for Aiko's education, nevertheless due to the outstanding debt and plot from the father's enemy. Their money could only let Aiko finish her 1st year of high school at a non-elite academy in Maple-leaf city.
