I Broke Up With My Girlfriend Who Was Cheating On Me, But She Was So Deeply Sorry That I Couldn't Help But Forgive Her. - Chapter 19: A Boy And A Girl Wednesday.

A Boy And A Girl Wednesday.

Wednesday.

Almost a week before the final exam, most of the club activities were closed.

After school, I thought I would go home and study.

“Oh, Umikata-kun, I need to talk to you about something.”

I was asked by Sorahashi, which was unusual.

I wonder if this is related to Ayaka…

But even though she is Daichi’s girlfriend, I don’t want to be alone with his girlfriend, but I don’t want other people to hear what she have to say about Ayaka.

“Ah… where’s Daichi?”

“Oh, Daichi is here too, so don’t worry. As always, you are very attentive, Umikata-kun.”

She knew I was considering a lot of things.

Then we met up with Daichi and went to Cafe Dite.

Me, Daichi and Sorahashi. We hadn’t been at Dite since that day.

After we were seated in the back and drinks were served to each of us, Sorahashi started talking.

“As you can imagine, what I’m going to talk about is Ayaka. I’m not going to ask you to forgive Ayaka or anything like that, but I want you to hear what Ayaka was thinking when she cheated on you.”

Then Sorahashi began to tell the details of Ayaka’s affair and what she thought at the time.

After listening to the end…

“Weakness… huh…”

I muttered to myself.

It’s true that from that time in eighth grade, I stopped showing weakness, especially to my family and those close to me.

Even when I felt like I was about to break, I tried my best to be strong and never show any sign of weakness.

I didn’t want to make my mom or Marin worried.

That’s what made Ayaka worried…

This convo is not even a joke anymore.

“I see… I can understand that she was taken advantage of, but I still think it’s 10 to 0 that the umi is not at fault. Hanashima is completely at fault for not being able to resist the presence of Umi.”

Daichi said with a grim look on his face, and then Sorahashi said,

“Well… for example, Daichi, you don’t pay much attention to details, but when we are walking down the street, you see, Umikata-kun casually move to the side of the road, you know? It makes me skip a beat.”

Daichi looked like he was in the greatest despair.

No, it’s okay! I ain’t gonna take her from you!

And then, Sorahashi continued.

“Girls can be like that, especially when they are shown something their boyfriends don’t do.”

“Well… if you put it that way, men are simple creatures who get nervous just by a little body touch, even if it’s not from their girlfriends.”

A little revived Daichi says, but I think I know what he meant.

Though, I’ve never been in that situation.

Speaking of which…

“Well, Daichi, you were upset at the ball game when a girl handed me a towel and shook my hand.”

“…Daichi, I want to talk to you later.”

Ahh… he was in despair.

“Well, I think I got what you wanted to talk about. Thanks, Sorahashi.”

“…Thank you huh, you really are…”

“No, I know Ayaka’s personality myself, and I like that kindness of hers, so I’ll go home and think about it again”

I said that and decided to leave first.

Oii, Daichi, don’t look at me like I’m pinning you down.

Well…Daichi and Sorahashi couldn’t get along because of us. I’m glad they aren’t going to go through the same thing.

Besides, I really want to take my time and think about it.

I went home and found Marin relaxing in the living room.

“Welcome home, brother.”

“I’m home, Marin.”

I decided to ask her something that I sort of wanted to ask her.

“Hey, Marin, is there anyone you like or are interested in?”

“What?! What’s so sudden…? Well… he sometimes gives some signs… I guess?”

“Does he have any weak points, or something that you wish was better?”

“No.”

“Nothing?”

“No.”

What? What is that perfect human being?

“After all, he’s my brother.”

“Ahh, yeah, me… me?”

“Yeah.”

“No, I’m kind of a… a show-off, you know?”

“Huh… really… It’s not cool to be able to put on a good face and be proud of yourself at the critical moment. I wish you’d put yourself in the shoes of your sister, who is not at all thrilled by your confession, because I don’t have a crush on you.”

“That’s… a bad thing to do.”

“Oh, that’s right. To help you feel strong…”

“Help me?”

“You don’t have to be the perfect brother. You can count on me more.”

To Marin’s words.

“Well…”

My reply may have been a bit unclear.
