My Precious Childhood Friend Got a Boyfriend - Chapter 7

Frustration

Nanami’s POV

Recently, Shogo-kun blocked my contact information and social media accounts.

It really shocked me that he would do something like that.

Why did he block my contact information and social media accounts?

How could you do something so cruel, Shogo-kun?

Since I can’t stop thinking about it, I directly ask him at school the next day.

‘Answer me, Shogo-kun! Why did you block my contact information!?’

To my surprise, Shogo-kun replied,

‘Tch, shut up. Don’t talk to me anymore.’

I don’t understand.

Why would he say something so cruel…?

Did I do something wrong…?

Is Shogo-kun starting to hate me…?

Hmm, but I don’t think I’ve done anything that would make Shogo-kun hate me.

Wait a minute…could it be because of that?

Last Saturday, I had promised Shogo-kun that I would hang out with him.

However, I cancelled my plans with him on the last minute to go on a date with Ryota-kun instead.

Maybe, he is angry because I cancelled on him at the last minute…?

Sure, it was a terrible thing to do and I do regret it.

But would Shogo-kun get that angry over just that? Could there be another reason he hates me…?

Come to think of it, ever since I got a boyfriend, I haven’t hung out with Shogo-kun at all.

Shogo-kun often asks me to hang out with him saying,

‘Nanami, let’s hang out after school!’

But I always casually turn him down saying,

‘I’m sorry, I can’t hang out with you today, Shogo-kun. I’m going on a date with my boyfriend today.’

Also, whenever he asked me to have lunch together with him during lunch break, I always coldly turned him down saying,

‘I can’t Shogo-kun. I’m eating with my boyfriend today.’

Yeah, that’s right…I prioritized my boyfriend over my childhood friend.

Maybe that’s why Shogo-kun is angry with me.

But I can’t help it…

To me, my boyfriend is more important than Shogo-kun…

It’s obvious that I’ll prioritize my boyfriend over my childhood friend.

So, it’s not my fault, right?

“Um…Shogo-kun?”

“……”

“Hey, Shogo-kun! Why are you ignoring me!?”

“……”

Shogo-kun has really changed lately.

He keeps ignoring me whenever I try to talk to him.

“Hey, Shogo-kun. Please tell me, why are you ignoring me…”

I persistently asked so.

“Tch, how many times do I have to tell you! I said stop talking to me!”

Shogo-kun snapped back at me.

Ugh, I don’t understand. Why is he ignoring me?

He seems to have fun talking to other girls.

Even just now, Shogo-kun was happily chatting with other girls.

However, for some reason, he just won’t talk to me.

‘Shogo-kun, did you watch the anime I recommended?’

‘Yeah, I watched it. It was so good that I binged the whole series yesterday.’

‘Fufufu, you’re totally hooked!’

Seeing Shogo-kun talking with other girls makes me feel so irritated.

Ahhhh~ It’s so frustrating.

Why does Shogo-kun ignore me but seem to be having fun talking to other girls?

Why am I the only one he ignores…?

I really don’t understand.

“Shogo-kun, I have another anime recommendation for you.”

“Really? What is it?”

“It’s a modern romantic comedy. Are you interested?”

“Romantic comedy, huh…? I don’t usually watch those, but maybe I’ll give it a shot.”

Even now, Shogo-kun is happily talking about anime with other girls.

Just seeing him talking with other girls makes me feel so irritated.

It’s really annoying.

Why does he ignore me and flirt with other girls?

Isn’t that just straight up cruel…?

I’m so irritated today that I couldn’t focus on any of the classes at all.

Because of that, none of the study materials got into my head at all.

Hah…what am I doing?

Also, why am I so irritated?

I don’t know, I really don’t know…

But I just feel this way…

Could it be that I’m jealous…?

Am I jealous of that girl because I like Shogo-kun?

No, no, no, that can’t be true.

After all, I already have a boyfriend.

On top of that, if I truly like Shogo-kun, why did I just realize my feelings…?

Yeah, that’s right.

There is no way that I’m in love with Shogo-kun…

But, seeing Shogo-kun getting close with other girls other than me…it really irritates me.

Hah…what’s going on with me?
