I Don’t Like Endings Where the Person who Cheats Gets Forgiven, so I Will not Forgive Her - Chapter 14

The Phone Rings

Yukina’s POV

‘Do you want to go on a date today? At your place or mine is fine.’

On that day I sent that message, I kept checking every few minutes to see if it has been read, but it never showed up as read.

Normally, if I send a message, no matter how late, he would reply me within two hours.

My heart was throbbing, I couldn’t stop thinking about Setsuna’s words.

That day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Yukito.

I couldn’t help but wonder if we might really end up breaking up.

According to Setsuna, it seemed like Yukito is hurt because of I was acting cold towards him and wanted to break up because of it.

He didn’t seem to know that I was lying to him about hanging out with friends and actually spending time with Yuuto-senpai.

If that’s the case, I thought that if I stopped being cold towards him, maybe we wouldn’t end up breaking up.

That’s why I sent that message to Yukito that day.

I’m sure everything will be okay, right?

Maybe he is just being cold to me now because he wants to pay me back for what I did?

…I desperately wanted to believe that, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of anxiety.

I know Yukito isn’t the type to play these childish retaliation games, but if we meet tomorrow and talk face to face, surely Yukito will listen to me.

…however, that was all wishful thinking.

It was too late to send a message of try to repair our relationship.

I was no longer in Yukito’s heart.

The reason why Yukito is angry…is because he found out about my affair.

Ah…what have I done?

I’m scared to even look at Yukito in front of me right now, but I have no choice.

I must muster the courage to meet his eyes and offer the sincerest apology I can.

Yukito’s POV

“Yukina…let’s break up.”

“…I’m sorry, Yukito. I’m so sorry.”

I confront Yukina, showing her the photos of her affair.

As Yukina meets my gaze, she bows her head almost to the floor, and start to apologize.

…what does she expect me to do at this point? Does she really think I’ll forgive her now?

Even if I were to forgive her, I can’t imagine us going back to how things were.

I’ll definitely always be suspicious of Yukina.

It’s easy to see that kind of relationship won’t last long.

“Let’s break up.”

“I’m sorry, Kohito. It’s not what you think! I’ve always loved you!! I’m so sorry, I’m really sorry.”

“Then why!?”

I actually wanted to say a lot of things to Yukina, but I stopped myself.

Saying such things to Yukina right now won’t resolve the situation.

I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

“Never mind. I won’t discuss anything further with Yukina. My decision won’t change.”

“I’m sorry, I really don’t want to break up. I’m really sorry…Yukito.”

No matter how many times I said it, Yukina lifts her head and clings onto me, saying sorry over and over again.

I don’t understand.

Why won’t she break up with me?

Doesn’t she have that guy she went to the cinema with?

“Yukito, it’s not like that. I love you, Yukito…”

“……”

“Um…you know?”

After taking a deep breath and calm herself down, Yukina starts to speak once again.

I listened to the words that comes out of Yukina’s mouth.

Instead of feeling angry, I feel disbelief.

The words that came out of Yukina’s mouth are beyond my imagination.

Yukina told me the reasons of her affair.

How she doesn’t feel worthy of being my girlfriend.

How she regained her self-esteem by pampering her cheating partner.

How good it feels to make me jealous.

Is this what it means to be stunned and speechless?

“…let’s break up.”

“……”

Hearing those things just now, I feel like breaking up with her even more.

However, I’m just stunned right now. It’s like I’ve lost all my anger.

“From now on, I want you to have as little interaction as possible with me. Let’s keep it to the bare minimum of greetings.”

“…no.”

“I can’t do this anymore. Please go home today.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Yukina must have realized that no matter how much she apologized, there is no sign of forgiveness.

So, she wipes her tears, mutters those words, and leave my room.

“Hah…”

Taking a deep breath, I calm myself down and clear my mind.

Not long after, Dad returns home.

Ah, that’s right.

I haven’t done any household chores at all.

I didn’t think it would take this long to break up with Yukina.

“Welcome back, Dad.”

“I’m home. Yukito, just now, Yukina-chan left the house crying. What happened?”

Ah, that’s right, come to think about it, I haven’t told Dad about Yukina’s affair yet.

Even though I’ve told Eri-san about it.

Dad has always supported my relationship with Yukina, so it took me a bit of courage to tell him about it.

I calmly explained to Dad that Yukina and I just broke up because she cheated on me.

Dad had a sad and painful expression on his face as he listened to me.

Then, he gently strokes my head just like what Eri-san did the other day.

“I see. I’m sorry. It must’ve been tough for you to talk about it, right?”

“No, it’s something I have to tell you eventually, so it’s better that it happened sooner than later.”

“Alright. I’ll take care of the household chores today. Just relax here, Yukito.”

With that, Dad rolls up his sleeves, ready to take over the household chores in my place.

“It’s okay, Dad. I’ll do it.”

“But…”

“I kind of want to distract myself as well.”

“I see…”

“Ah, but I want to eat the dinner you make.”

“Got it! Leave it to me.”

I’m glad that my dad replied so with a smile on his face, because of it, I don’t feel anxious or anything like that.

It means a lot for me.

Afterward, there isn’t any awkwardness between Dad and me.

After finishing the household chores, I take a bath and return to my room.

I look at the time and see that it’s already past 11.

…it’s been a long day. Time to sleep.

With that thought, I turn off the lights.

Suddenly, my phone rings.

When I look at the screen, it’s from Setsuna.
