Stealing The Protagonist’s Yandere Lovers

It had been a couple of hours since Jasmine was kissed abruptly by Elandor.

She quickly recovered from her initial shock but she kept her distance and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

I knew it was a way of her saying that she needed some time, so I decided to give her a little space.

Even though her tone while talking to me had improved to a substantial degree, but it was clear that if I wanted more then I needed more development with her.

I knew I had already opened her heart.

If I pushed her down, she won't be able to resist but that way I would only get her body and not her heart.

If I wanted her body then I would have pushed her a long time ago, there was no need to spend so much time with her.

The atmosphere between us fell into a strange silence.

I knew she was already feeling let down by David and sooner or later she would fall for me.

To ease her frightened heart, I decided to shift the conversation.

"It's already dark, let's go out to eat our dinner!"

Even though I could order some food to be brought to our room by ordering at the reception but that way I won't be able to spend some quality time with Jasmine.

There was a fact that I have realised after my various experiences…that if you want to chase a girl and make her fall for you deeply, then you must take the initiative in such trivial things.

Because if you let the girl take initiative all the time, then you would soon turn into a licking dog and will be no better than a simp.

I remembered a story of a teen couple from my previous life-

The teen couple was initially madly in love with each other but the boy always used to ask the girl about what she wanted.

What should they eat for dinner?

What should they do today?

Where should they go to spend the vacation?

The girl would always say, I can eat anything,

I will do whatever you like, I will go wherever you go!

As a result, both of them would not be able to arrive at any decision and just waste their time.

In the end, the girl would cry and complain inwardly that the boy no longer loves her as he can't decide such simple things for her.

Eventually, they would bicker and fall out with each other with the boy thinking that the girl was getting bored of him and no longer telling him what she really wants.

And there was a scumbag near them, his best friend who also had a crush on that girl.

He slowly filled the girl's ears with how the boy no longer loved her as he always asked others how to treat her.

He slandered the boy about how he no longer cared for her and treated her more like a formality.

Slowly his best friend made the girl reliant on him instead of the boy and little by little increased his presence inside the girl's heart.

With repeated coaxing and sweet words, he managed to break the wall and captured her heart saying how he would treat her much better than him.

As a result one day the boy returned home only to find his girl and best friend kissing.

He fell into a depression.

How did he even lose her even though he fulfilled all her wishes and always asked for her opinion?

….when I learned about such a story in my previous life I promised to myself that I would never let such a thing happen.

We must always be decisive!

We must act decisively!

I could have asked Jasmine about what she wanted to do?

What did she want to eat?

If there was a particular place she would like to go to spend the evening?

But I did not ask and just told her to follow me blindly by directly saying let's go for dinner outside, without giving her any room for any opinions.

If I would have asked her these questions, my condition may end up similar to the boy from the teen couple's story.

Because I knew the way a relationship starts is through first interactions, and these initial interactions build the foundation for the future growth of the couple.

If the foundation is weak and shallow, it is bound to fall apart when there is the slightest crack.

We tidied up our clothes a little to make sure we still looked elegant.

The last time I came to this city with Aushima to complete Parul's herb quest, I had already learned about various important places that one could visit here.

There was a famous night restaurant down the next street.

It was famous for its spicy food and unique flavoured wines.

I took the lead and started walking forward.

But as we passed near the reception area I was surprised by the discussions going on between a group of people.

We were already using fake names to avoid any potential danger and were already far away from our pursuers so there were not many things that could threaten our safety here.

But when I heard the content of the discussion my face twitched.

The group of people were talking about David and our group.

I went closer to one of them and patted his shoulder.

"Hey friend, what's so interesting you are discussing that so many people are interested in it?"

The man was surprised but was quick to recover,

"Don't you know the current affairs?"

"There were some big things that happened in the neighbouring kingdom."

"Almost everyone is talking about it."

I had to admit that I was quite surprised, according to my plan David should have undergone the trial and with his family's backing, the matters would easily be settled.

But the content of their discussions was completely different from what I expected.

So I decided to learn everything.

"Friend, as you can see I was busy with my girlfriend and failed to keep tabs on current affairs!"

"Would you mind filling me in about what interesting things had happened the past two days?"

I winked at Jasmine when I said that.
