I'm your romance
She would've been fine but also really confused for a while and things would've gotten real awkward for some time. Not the first time she gets awkward like that because of the romance of romance lol.Shun, Chokki-chan would've totally been fine had you made that move then. And many people, from his friends to the soccer kids, already think you two are going out.
And Chokki-chan, gotta get to the real romance. Your future hubby is right in front of you and wants that #1 spot for himself.

But I understand if it helps the authors work-life balance...
