A long long time ago, there was a beautiful princess who was very popular. However, in spite of being engaged, she would seduce many guys and was absorbed in playing around on daily basis.
The cupid who saw this, said "Such troublesome princess. This would affect her descendants in the future."
"If it has come to this, it cannot be avoided..."
"Let's put an ever-lasting curse on the princess and her future".
That was the discussion among the cupids about the princess. Things like kiss, there is still a long way to go.
So, that was what I thought that day. About my ancestor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do you understand Yumi?. You can only give your first kiss to the person you have decided on marrying." said mama.
And so, since I was young, these are the words mama has told me repeatedly until my ears hurt.
Time passes and I've grown up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Starting today, we're in second year huh?."
" Having so many fashionable people around me makes me feel flustered, I wonder if everybody has found a boyfriend already?"
"Oh yeah, I was wondering what is the average age of first kiss nowadays?"
*Clattering*Bam* the sound of something falling.
"Are you alright Kuraishi-san?"
"Ah yeah I'm fine". I'm Kuraishi Yumi, second year and a high school student. I am very sensitive to the word "kiss".
"Hey is it true that Kuraishi-san has been wearing that mask throughout the entire year last year?"
"Really?, No way, is she alright? Does she have some kind of sickness maybe?"
"No, I was in the same middle school as her. She didn't wear the mask yet until we entered high school."
Argh. The same topic. People around me keep on whispering about me and the mask again. I ware the mask to prevent any possible accident. No matter what people around me says. i have already made my decision!. Until I get married, i will protect my lips till the end!.
The reason why I am so hung up about being kissed is due to the "curse" that is passed through the generations in my family.
Long ago, my ancestor who was a flirtation princess was flirting with every guy around her. As a punishment, a curse has been placed on her and her future generations. The content was, "If you had your first kiss, you have to kiss that same person every day, until your last breath".
I once asked mama about this matter. What will happen if you don't do that?
"Mama..."
"Yes, Yumi dear"
"If you don't kiss every day...urm...is it true that you will be tormented by misfortune until death?"
"IT'S TRUE!" she suddenly raises her voice while pointing the knife in her hand up high.
She then continued, "It has been vividly written in the family scroll that has been passed through generations." She dashed to the study room and took the family scroll.
"For example, one of our ancestor from the 12th generations ago, cheated on the partned they had their first kiss with. As a result of that, they suffered from sleep paralysis and had insomnia until death!. Another ancestor from 8th generations ago married somebody who's not the person they first kissed. And then, they had a big ulcer that never healed up until their death!, It was written with a shaking hand!"
It is a fearsome curse. That's why mama always said this." Until a person who will always be with you appears like how your Papa is to Mama, you must always protect your lips.
Thanks to this, I'm being treated like a weirdo.
