Get away from here quickly
Not knowing what to do, I decided to refrain from meeting until I could gather my thoughts, and four days passed.
It had only been four days, but Norihiro had finally grown impatient and came to our house.
Now I’m regretting why I responded to the intercom before checking properly.
Even though he couldn’t see me, Norihiro was glaring at me through the monitor and was very angry, and when he said in a low voice, “Open it quickly,” I was so scared that I couldn’t resist.
I opened the lock cautiously, and the moment the door slid open I was hugged forcefully, and the smell and body heat I hadn’t felt in a long time made my chest tighten.
“Um, well…”
“…Ah. It’s been a while since I last touched you.”
“Ki, Kihiro-san,”
“Don’t try to run away. Stay quiet. I thought I was going to die not being able to see you.”
It hasn’t even been a week yet, so it’s an exaggeration.
She thought so, but the guilt of having lied and avoided him meant that she couldn’t say anything rash, so she kept her mouth shut obediently and accepted the tight embrace, almost to the point of pain.
After continuing this for a while, it seemed he was finally satisfied, and his grip relaxed a little, releasing him enough to move around.
At that moment, as if to say that the conversation wasn’t over yet, Norihiro-san pulled me closer to him, and the interrogation began, with me sandwiched between the wall and him so that I couldn’t escape.
“You even lied and said you had something to do when you were at home and deliberately avoided me, right? Why?”
“…My physical condition, however, is not very good.”
“Then, can you please tell me more? I’m worried, so I’ll take care of you… Well, that’s probably a lie, though.”
His surprisingly cold voice made my heart feel like it was being crushed.
I know, it was my fault this time.
Norihiro’s desire to meet me was genuine, which is why he came today.
If I apologize for lying and avoiding him, Norihiro will probably laugh and forgive me easily.
But that would mean being honest about my pregnancy.
During the time we weren’t together, I thought a lot about whether it was really okay to tell you.
What do you think about that, Norihiro?
Even if they accept it, what happens next?
It will definitely become a burden, and if an idol gets married, she will be the target of criticism and it will get in the way of her work.
I kept putting off the meeting in order to find a reason not to tell him, but in reality the answer had been there for me all along.
“…I wanted to break up…”
“teeth,”
There was a whoosh, the sound of a trembling breath coming from Norihiro’s throat.
I can’t see Norihiro’s face.
I don’t know what my face looks like right now, but I don’t want to show it.
“I thought that if we didn’t meet, maybe it would just fade away…!”
The moment I spoke, he grabbed my arm with such force that it made a squealing noise, and I was unable to speak.
Norihiro has always been kind to me, so this is probably the first time he’s treated me so roughly.
“Don’t mess with me.”
Norihiro’s voice, coming from so close, is cold and painful.
“Tell me everything you’re thinking. No matter what you say, I won’t accept it, but if I’m at fault, I’ll fix it and apologize…But if the reason is unacceptable, I’ll never forgive you for saying things like that.”
“I-I want to break up, but…do I need a reason…?”
“Tell me, make me understand, or I won’t break up with you.”
There’s no way I’d be convinced.
I’m not over it at all either.
Just looking at Norihiro was painful, so I looked away and down.
This is amazing. My heart hurts so much more than it did the first time I failed.
