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

Chapter 38

Yukina’s POV

I finally did it.

I’m well aware that I’ve reached a point of no return.

I vaguely gaze at the unfamiliar ceiling while watching Senpai who is sleeping soundly beside me.

I wonder what Yukito is doing now?

Perhaps he is snuggling close to Setsuna?

Or maybe they’re expressing their love for each other?

…I instinctively hug my arms tightly as if protecting myself from something.

Still, despite that, my body feels extremely cold.

So, I pull the blanket over me.

I don’t want to think about anything.

When I was having sex with Senpai, I was able to distract myself from it, but that was just a temporary solution.

I’m sure I’ll have to carry this burden for the rest of my life.

I think it as my atonement.

I’m sick of hearing Setsuna’s joyful voice echoing through the walls every day.

When I found out that she is staying over Yukito’s house, I felt even more depressed.

On that same day, Senpai asked me to accompany him to buy some clothes, so I just went along, feeling listless.

Even at home, I feel really uncomfortable since Mom knows about what I had done.

Perhaps the reason I agreed to go out with Senpai is because I don’t want to get depressed thinking about what’s going to happen next and wondering what Yukito and Setsuna are going to do in Yukito’s bed.

…but in the end, it’s all meaningless because I still find myself thinking about what Yukito is doing now.

“Hmm…oh, good morning, Yukina-chan.”

“…good morning, Senpai.”

It seems like Senpai has woken up.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Senpai lets out a big yawn and stretches his body.

“Yukina-chan, you still look down. Do you regret what happened between us?”

“…no.”

The truth is, I regret it very much.

I wish I had never started working part-time in the first place…but I was the one who made the decision.

It was my fault for being so stubborn and not telling Yukito about my concerns.

Perhaps, sensing my unease, Senpai hugs me tightly and pulls me close.

I can’t help but feel pathetic and start shedding tears.

“Yukina-chan, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“N-no, it’s nothing.”

I knew it…I’m not the kind of person who can stand by Yukito’s side.

I continue to shed tears.

Chapter 39

Yukito’s POV

My relationship with Setsuna is going smoothly.

It has been about three months since we started dating.

“Yukito’s scent is so calming, sniff sniff.”

“…Setsuna, it’s a little embarrassing, please stop.”

“I can’t! I can’t live without Yukito’s scent. Yukito is telling me to die…”

“I didn’t say that at all, but we’re almost home, so please bear with it.”

“…but, it’s such a long way home. That’s why I need a Yukito break along the way.”

I feel like I have no choice but to spoil Setsuna and pat her on the head.

However, since Setsuna keeps sniffing me, I can’t help but want to cuddle with her too.

Right now, we’re sitting side by side on a bench in the park on our way home.

Looking back over the past three months, I can either say that our relationship has been going great, or we have been acting like a couple of fools.

Since that overnight stay, Setsuna has become more affectionate towards me, and we’ve grown even closer with each other.

Setsuna’s relationship with Dad has also improved a lot since that overnight stay, she even calls him ‘Dad’ now.

Lately, she has been staying over at my place about once a week, and gradually, her belongings are increasing in my house.

It got to the point where I think she might have more stuff in my room than I do.

Furthermore, not only does Setsuna shower me with affection, but she also spoils me rotten.

She has taken over a lot of the household chores I used to do, and she’s practically the one cooking dinner every day now.

It seems like Setsuna has been practicing cooking to help me with household chores as much as possible, I can’t thank her enough.

Apparently, Setsuna had been wanting to help me with the household chores for a long time, but she was worried that she was being a nuisance.

However, it seems like something clicked since that overnight stay, and she is becoming more proactive.

“Setsuna, thank you.”

“Hmm? What’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”

“Well, I just want to say thanks for always taking care of me. I realized I should express my gratitude.”

“It’s okay, I just want to do it for you, Yukito. Just hearing those words from you is more than enough for me.”

“…thank you, really.”

I truly feel fortunate to be able to date Setsuna.

…I don’t even know why I dated Yukina in the first place.

I wonder how happy I would’ve been if I had spent the time I devoted to Yukina on Setsuna instead, but I was the who accepted Yukina’s confession. I guess I was a fool after all.

I suppose I should consider this as a life experience.

I have no intention of forgiving her at all, and I still don’t want to have anything to do with her.

Now that I think about it, Yukina hasn’t been apologizing to me at all lately.

It used to annoy me a lot, so I’m grateful that she has stopped.

“…let’s go now. It’ll be dark soon.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I think that’s enough for now, but…”

“Hmm?”

“When we get home and finish all the chores, can we cuddle again?”

Setsuna looks up and says so in the cutest way possible.

So, I smile and nod at her.

Then, Setsuna smiles and hold out her hand.

I take her hand and we start walking home together.
