Chapter 20: Unforgivable!

[Yui's POV]


I looked at the screen of my phone and saw that it read 10:23.


Is it that late already? 


I put on the dress I recently bought and head for the front door.


I put on my shoes at the entrance and leave the house.


I have an appointment to play with Hashima today. And it's just the two of us.


After all, this is a date, right ......?


I wonder if I'm the one he likes?


Well, it doesn't look like it, but .......


We finally arrived at the meeting place - a nearby park.


In the park, I could see benches, slides, and swings.


Hmm? That's .......


Hashima was sitting on a bench in the park.


I ran up to him and called out.


"Hashima-kun."


I call his name, and he looks up and stares at me.


"Sorry I'm late. Did you wait for ......?"


"No, I just got here."


I laugh at Hashima's words.


"Why are you laughing?"


"I was thinking that our conversation just now sounded like a lover's conversation."


"Eh ......? Ah~, you're right."


Hashima laughed happily. I laughed along with him.


"Well, I guess we better get going."


"Fufu? Where are we going?"


"To the arcade. You don't like it?"


"No, I don't mind. I like games."


"Wow, Yui likes games too. You're just like me._


"Hashima-kun, you like games too?"


"Oh, I've been into FPS lately."


We headed to the arcade while having this conversation.


This conversation revealed that Hashima is a good listener. I can't help but talk about all sorts of things.


I guess people who are good listeners like him are popular with the ladies.











It's already night.


I look up and see the sky has turned black.


The wind is colder than in the morning, and I frequently say, "It's so cold ......."


"That was fun."


"Yes, it was."


I played a lot with Hashima today.


I played games with him at the arcade, had lunch at a family restaurant, and sang a lot of karaoke.


It was really fun. I'm a little tired, though. ......


"Hey, Yui, ......"


"Hmm? What's wrong......?"


"I have something important to tell you."


Hashima said that and looked at me.


He looked serious.


An important talk?


A confession? No, I don't think so.


"Yui!"


Hashima grabbed my shoulders and spun the next words.


"I like you, please go out with me."


"......"


I involuntarily rolled my eyes at Hashima's confession.


He really confessed. I couldn't hide my surprise.


Why does he like me? Love at first sight?


Well, whatever it is.......


I quietly opened my mouth.


"I'm sorry, I can't go out with you."


"What?!"


Hashima's eyes widened at my reply.


"Are you kidding me ......?" I look at him with a "I'm sorry" look on my face and feel sorry.


"Why can't you do that .....?"


"There's someone I like."


"Someone you like......?"


Hashima frowns.


"Don't tell me you still like Yuji ......?"


"Yes, I do......."


I still like Yuji. But he has a girlfriend. I know, I know, but I can't give up.


I can't forget him. ......


This is not love anymore, but a curse. When will this curse disappear? ......


"He's dating Akari, you know? Do you understand?"


"I know... I know that. But I like Yuji-kun. I love him."


"....."


Hashima was absolutely stunned by my words.


He looked incredulous, but I threw the words straight at him.


"I'm sorry, but you have to give up on me."


"What the hell, that's ......."













[Hashima's POV]


When I was in the fourth grade, my father and mother divorced.


The cause was my father's infidelity.


That man cheated on my mother and went out with a college girl. He is a scumbag.


I don't want to be that kind of scum. ......


After my father divorced my mother, she broke down.


She used to be so kind, but now she leaves me alone to play with men.


I started to hate my mother when I was in the fifth grade.


School was over, so I came home.


As I was taking off my shoes at the door, I heard the creaking sound of the bed from my bedroom.


What is that sound ......?


Curious, I headed for the bedroom.


Slowly I open the bedroom door and peek inside.


My mother and the mysterious man were laying on top of each other.


Seeing this, my mind goes blank.


What the hell is he doing, that guy ......?


On the bed, my mother had a look of debauchery on her face.


That face wasn't a mother's face. It was a woman's face.


Seeing my mother with a woman's face, I was absolutely mortified.


She leaves me alone and does this all the time. ......


Damn, she's a piece of sh*t.


I hate both my father and mother.


The thought of having their blood in my veins makes me want to kill myself.


Damn .......


 


  




-- Two years later...



I graduated from elementary school and entered junior high school.


At the entrance ceremony, I met a beautiful girl.


She had beautiful black hair that reminded me of the night sky.


She had a high, straight nose and big, bright eyes.


She exuded a cool atmosphere.


Her name was Yui Sakata.


When I saw Yui's dignified face, I subconsciously thought, "I want to go out with this girl."


Yes, I fell in love with Yui Sakata at first sight.


I talked to Yui aggressively.


She looked very scary, but she was surprisingly kind.


I was attracted by this gap and fell more and more in love with Yui.


But the person Yui likes is not me.


The name of the person Yui likes is Yuji Sakata.


He is Yui's step-brother.


Yui likes Yuji.


Even if I confess to her now, she would reject me.


I can't let that happen. ......


How can I go out with Yui? 


One day, while I was living my life thinking about this, I found out who Akari Shinomiya likes.


It seems that Akari also likes Yuji.


Knowing that, I thought it was my chance.


If Yuji and Akari got together, Yui would give up on Yuji.


Thinking so, I supported Akari's love.


As a result, Yuji and Akari became lovers.


Now Yui would have given up on Yuji.


I can go out with Yui now.


I can have her all to myself.


I decided so and confessed to Yui Sakata.


"I love you, please go out with me."


"......"


Yui rolled her eyes at my confession.


She looked surprised.


The air was tranquil.


Eventually, Yui opened her mouth.


"I'm sorry, I can't go out with you."


"What?!"


I raise an inaudible voice.


My plan should have been perfect. Despite that, I was dumped by Yui.


I'm shocked by that fact.


"Why can't you do that ......?"


"There's someone I like."


"Someone you like ......?"


I frown.


"Don't tell me you still like Yuji ......?"


"Yes, I do. ......"


"He's dating Akari, you know? Do you understand?"


"I know... I know that. But I like Yuji-kun. I love him."


"....."


I was absolutely stunned by Yui's words.


I thought that if Yuji got a girlfriend, Yui would give up on him.


But I was wrong.


Yes, my expectations were unusually wrong.


Damn, how did this happen .......


My plan was perfect. ......


Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! It's all your fault! Yuji!


If it wasn't for you, I could have gone out with Yui!


I won't forgive you.


I will never forgive you!
