The Reason Why I was Cheated on By My Girlfriend - Chapter 36

Overwrite

Haru’s POV

“Wait. I’m calm.”

Just as I’m about to leave the room, she grabs my wrist.

“I’m not sure about that.”

I almost let out a sigh.

However, I hold it in and turn around towards Yua.

I feel a sharp pain deep within my heart.

“I’m serious.”

Yua says so with tears welling up in her eyes.

“Don’t talk like I’ve gone crazy.”

I need some time to calm down and think.

But Yua isn’t giving me that chance.

“Okay then.”

I’m the first one to give in.

“Let’s go back to my room for now.”

“…thank you.”

Yua smiles with satisfaction.

Then, the two of us go back to my room, and when we close the door, we both stop moving.

“…my wrist.”

“Wrist? …ah, sorry.”

Yua hurriedly let go of my wrist.

I then walk to the bed, trying not to look at her.

“…hmm.”

I pat the spot next to me.

Soon, a faintly sweet scent can be smelled, and I feel the bed sink.

“……”

“……”

Silence.

Well of course, what should we even talk about?

However, I feel like I have to say something.

“…umm.”

I decided to speak up.

Then I take a deep breath and say,

“…I’m surprised.”

“…yeah, I know.”

What kind of conversation is this?

This isn’t right. It’s not supposed to be like this…

“So, what do you want, Yua?”

“I want to be with Haru-kun.”

In contrast to my confusion, Yua answered so clearly.

“I want to be with you together forever.”

To be honest, I had a feeling that Yua might’ve felt that way, but hearing it in words feels different.

If it was a short while ago, I think I would have cried out of happiness.

I still feel happy now.

However, right now, my headache is stronger than my happiness.

Because this isn’t right. Not now.

“I understand that it’s a bother.”

Yua said so.

“But I’ve decided that I won’t lie to Haru-kun ever again.”

Her words keep coming out one after the other.

“I’m not asking you to break up with Kaguya-chan. I have no right to ask you that.”

I bite my lip and desperately try to think.

“But what if we make some conditions? Like, only while we’re in this room.”

Yua is speaking much faster than I can think.

“It’s actually a pretty good deal.”

Since I’m not responding, Yua’s voice starts to sound a little impatient.

“You can do naughty things with me.”

“Stop.”

I bury my face in my hands.

Hearing Yua’s words, I would say that it’s jealousy.

However, there must be another reason.

There is no way she would be this desperate just out of jealousy.

If Yua were calm, she wouldn’t bring up this topic.

“Is Kaguya-chan that important to you?”

Yua asked so.

“You just met her, after all.”

Her voice is faintly trembling.

“…I’ve been with you for so much longer.”

I should say something in response.

But I feel like no matter what I say, I’ll just trigger one of Yua’s emotional landmines, so I can’t bring myself to say anything.

Suddenly, I hear some unusual sound and turn my gaze.

I’m left speechless.

This time, my mind really went blank.

“How is it?”

Yua has taken her top off.

“It looks normal…right?”

She said so with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

Her pure white skin and black underwear is completely exposed.

“I’ll take the lead. I’ll overwrite everything about Kaguya-chan. Also, it’s not as big a deal as you might think, Haru-kun. If you leave it to me, it will be over in no time.”

Yua said so with a slightly flustered voice.

Her cheeks are blushing.

I never expected the Yua that I know would say those words.

(…could it be?)

I finally realize.

For the past few days, Yua has been abstaining from sex.

I can only imagine what it must have been like for her…it must be such a strong desire that the once pure Yua would give her body to that scum.

I take a deep breath.

And before I can think, my body acts on its own.

“Haru-kun!?”

Yua says so in a surprised voice.

After hearing that, I desperately try to come up with an excuse.

I’ve made up my mind.

I’ve decided to support Yua.

I’ve decided to do everything I can to help her return to how she was.

And then…what happens after that?

What will happen once Yua returns to her old self?

I’m sure the opportunities to meet like today will gradually decrease.

We’ll gradually grow apart, and one day, we won’t see each other anymore.

As we grow up, we’ll learn to control our emotions.

The impulses that are causing us to make mistakes right now will surely fade with time.

That’s why—just for now.

“…this is my limit.”

I said so to Yua as I hold her close to me.

“…I can’t go any further than this.”

I don’t think I can satisfy Yua’s sexual desire this way.

But right now, I can’t think of anything else.

“…so, I hope you will be satisfied by this.”

I hug Yua tightly.

My heart hurts. My whole body is hot. Both of these feelings are surely being conveyed to Yua.

“Coward.”

Yua mutters so, pushing against my chest.

Did she resist…?

I wonder as I pull away.

Then, Yua turns her back to me and sits on the bed.

“I prefer you to hug me from behind.”

She made an unexpected request.

“……”

I take a deep breath.

After turning it into a sigh, I respond to her request.

“…ahaha, you’re really going to do it.”

Yua shakes her shoulders.

Then she grabs my hand and holds it tightly.

“…ahhh, you’ve been unfaithful, Haru-kun.”

I can’t deny her words.

If I had more time to think, I might have chosen a better way to handle this.

But in the end—I’ve made the worst choice.

“Haru-kun, my heart is beating really fast.”

Yua said so in a happy voice.

“Hey, try touching me too.”

“I’m not touching you.”

“Ehh, after going this far?”

“…I’ll kick you out.”

“Ehehe, you can’t bring yourself do it anyway.”

Yua laughed and murmured softly.

“…do you do this kind of thing with Kaguya-chan too?”

Immediately after Yua said so,

“Well, I guess you do.”

Yua continued so quickly.

“You’re dating, after all.”

Hearing that, I reply,

“We haven’t.”

“…eh?”

“It’s only been a kiss.”

The moment I said so, I realized that I shouldn’t have told Yua about it.

I’m not calm either.

Maybe it’s the heat from my body, or maybe the darkness of the night, but I can’t think clearly.

“That’s enough.”

I said so, mustering the last of my rationality.

“If you say anything else, I’ll really kick you out.”

“……”

Yua sighs.

I feel like as if I’m being called a coward again.

Then—

I can’t move a single muscle until I hear Yua’s sleeping breaths.

(TN: This chapter might be ambiguous, but they didn’t have sex. Haruki just hugged the naked Yua to sleep.)
