A Chance To Rewrite It All - Chapter 20- Trap?

The next morning, Ryuusuke and Yuna could be seen walking side by side and heading toward the school.

Ryuusuke was telling her what happened last night and also about the request that the man extended to him.

Yuna was apprehensive when she heard that Hiyori’s father called him out like this, which seemed a degree less than abduction.

Her knowledge about rich men comes from TV dramas, that’s why she was afraid that they might do something bad to her beloved.

She strongly held his hand and said, “Ryuu-kun, if you need backup, call me. I know basic martial arts so I will protect you!”

Seeing her serious frown, Ryuusuke realized she wasn’t joking. She was actually worried about him and wanted to help if he got into trouble.

Such a gesture made him smile as he pulled her closer and said, “Mm. I will do that.”

The sweet atmosphere between the two was a sight for the others. They never thought that the playboy and delinquent would change so suddenly just because of a girl.

Although Yuna was one of the most beautiful girls in the school, turning a new leaf for her was still too surprising for others.

Suddenly Ryuuske’s eyes turned toward a shop as he said, “Let’s go there, for a moment.” Since there was some time left he decided to have a quick breakfast here.

In his haste not to make her wait, Ryuusuke did cook breakfast but didn’t eat.

They entered the shop and saw there were a few more students having breakfast and some buying things for the school.

Ryuusuke began to explore things listed on the counter that he could eat.

He turned his gaze to Yuna to ask for a suggestion when he found her looking at a pair of cups.

He inched closer to her and found it was a couple-themed cup.

He rested his hand on her waist from behind and asked, “Do you want one?”

Yuna softly shook her head, and told him, “I…actually have one. And not only this, a couple of more couple-themed sets which I bought mindlessly in the past.”

Ryuusuke was suddenly reminded of one of those days when she gave him a key ring, which matched hers.

His heart was filled with grief when he recalled how he gifted it to another girl he was pursuing at that time.

‘…I am a scumbag, ain’t I?’ Ryuusuke heaved a sigh before he picked up the matching cups, and under Yuna’s surprised gaze he said,

“From now on, don’t just buy them, Yuna. I would love to have things matching you.”

He softly tucked her hair strands behind her ear as he spoke.

Yuna watched him with her bright eyes glistening with tears.

Inching closer she planted her head on his chest and softly whispered, “Please don’t change, Ryuu-kun…I don’t think I can separate from you anymore…”

Ryuusuke held her back softly and whispered, “And you don’t need to. I have already devoted my whole life to you, Yuna.”

….

In the end, Ryuusuke just had an onigiri before he left the shop. He also bought a matching key ring which he instantly gave to Yuna. And the one he kept would surely remain there until it didn’t fade away.

They made their way to the school with a soft smile never leaving their faces.

Yuna was a little shy about how they got intimate in public, however, having Ryuusuke beside her helped the girl to retain her composure.

In the classroom, their seats were a little too far away, and changing seats midterms was not allowed.

Heaving a sigh, Ryuusuke decided to have a chat with the homeroom teacher during the break and get his seat changed.

Since the homeroom was about to begin, Yuna and Ryuusuke parted ways, the girl being reluctant until the end, before Ryuusuke sat down on his seat.

Ryuusuke was about to take out his notebook and start writing what he would be needing for his work when suddenly, a certain shaved-headed boy entered the classroom.

Ryuuske’s eyes narrowed and everyone instantly turned silent when Sato walked in.

The previous incident of Sato getting thrashed by Ryuusuke was still quite fresh in everyone’s mind, and today the three of them were present in the class.

Many of them already took out their phones to record the upcoming drama.

However, under everyone’s disappointed gazes, Sato simply walked towards his desk, which was just beside Yuna’s, and sat down.

“Tch, boring they are.”

“Haah~I was hoping to see Ryuu-sama showing his dominance again~~”

“Sato got humbled in a few slaps, pfft-”

Everyone was making fun of Sato or pitying him, however, the person in the middle of so much gossip showed no reaction at all.

He didn’t even glance at Yuna and took out his books and started reading one of them silently.

Ryuusuke shrugged, not wanting to pay more attention to the guy than he deserved.

However, in a corner of his mind, the ex-blond knew that Sato would not back off this easily. He must be planning something.

Suddenly Ryuusuke received a text from Yuna, stating,

[Can we have lunch together on the rooftop?]

Smilingly he replied, ‘You don’t need to ask, just tell me such things.’

A smiley, she replied before their conversation came to a halt as the homeroom teacher walked in.

The middle-aged woman was greeted by the students at once,

“Good morning, sensei!”

“Good morning, sit down.”

As everyone sat, the teacher suddenly dropped a surprising bomb,

“Now that we have passed the half-yearly exams, it’s time for the cultural festival.”

Many students cheered up hearing that. After the stressful month of exams, it was finally a relief that the school was organizing the fest.

“For the event manager, I am choosing class rep Fujimoto Miyu.” A beautiful green-haired girl stood up when called out.

It was to be expected since, more than the class rep, no one can manage the class better.

However, what shocked everyone was the second event leader’s name,

“The second one would be…” her eyes rested on the one sitting in the back of the class before the teacher said, “Ryuusuke, get up.”

Everyone gasped upon hearing that name.

Ryuusuke, with a frown, got up and heard the teacher saying, “You would be the event manager with Miyu. Take the role seriously.”

Ryuusuke was still unsure how it happened…until he glanced at Sato and found him looking back at him with a sinister smile.

‘Seriously dude…this is the best you can come up with?’ Ryuusuke was disappointed.
