My Precious Childhood Friend Got a Boyfriend - Chapter 3

Last Minute Cancellation

Today, I have plans to hang out with Nanami at 10AM.

Remembering this, I hurriedly get out of bed, fix my bedhead, brush my teeth, and wash my face.

Oh no, I overslept…

I need to hurry or I’ll be late.

I quickly put my phone as well as my wallet in my pockets and leave the house.

After making sure to lock the front door, I head to our meeting spot.

Our meeting spot is at a square near the station.

After walking for a while, I arrive at our meeting spot.

It seems like Nanami is not here yet.

Oh well, I guess I’ll just wait for her.

I sit down on a nearby bench and wait for Nanami.

5 minutes…

10 minutes…

30 minutes…

60 minutes…

An hour has passed, but there is still no sign of Nanami.

Nanami is really late…

It’s already been an hour.

I wonder if something happened to her…?

As I’m thinking about such thoughts, I suddenly receive a call from Nanami.

I hurriedly answer the call.

“Hey, Nanami! Where are you!? You’re already an hour late!”

‘I’m sorry, I can’t hang out today.’

“Eh…?”

I’m dumbfounded at Nanami’s words.

She can’t hang out today…?

What the hell does that mean?

She’s cancelling me on the last minute.

“Why can’t you hang out…?”

‘Ryota-kun suddenly asked me to go out on a date with him. So, umm…I’m sorry. I can’t hang out with you today, Shogo-kun.’

“……”

I see, so she decided to go on a date with Nakamura…

So basically, Nanami cancelled our plans on the last minute to go on a date with Nakamura, right?

Hey, come on, are you serious?

I made plans with you first, didn’t I?

But yet, you cancelled me on the last minute and prioritizes of boyfriend…?

“But we made plans to hang out first, right…?”

‘Yeah, that’s true…but I’m sorry. I really want to go on a date with Ryota-kun today, so I can’t hang out with you. I’m really sorry.”’

“……”

Nanami’s words leave me speechless. I’m at a loss for words.

That’s doesn’t sound fair, does it?

I know that he’s your boyfriend, but I’m the one who made plans with you first.

So, why…?

Actually, deep down, I understand.

It’s obvious that you’ll prioritize your boyfriend over your childhood friend.

But still, I can’t accept it.

Because, I’m the one who made plans with you first, am I not…?

I waited for Nanami at the meeting spot for an hour…

I was really looking forward to hang out with Nanami…

But she just casually prioritizes her boyfriend like that…

This is just too much…

‘Ah, it’s already this late. If I don’t hurry up and get to the meeting spot for our date, I’ll be late.’

“……”

‘Well then, see you, Shogo-kun. I’ll contact you later.’

Nanami said so and hung up the call.

With Nanami’s voice no longer heard from my smartphone speaker, the surroundings fall into silence.

Nanami is going on a date with Nakamura right now…?

Damn it…

You’re just like my older sister, aren’t you…
