To the Person I Love and Hate the Most… - Chapter 1

The First Betrayal…

One day, I receive a call from my beloved girlfriend, Natsumi-chan.

I’m working, but I quickly go to the restroom and answer the call.

“I’m at a pet shop right now. The Shiba Inu is really cute~!”

“Ohh, a Shiba Inu! Puppies are incredibly adorable, aren’t they?”

“I really want one~!”

Natsumi-chan and I have a certain situation where we can’t tell anyone about our relationship.

However, we talked about overcoming this situation and even thought about moving in together soon.

That’s why, I want to fulfil her request as best as I can.

“Alright, let’s go there together sometimes. Let’s bring home our new pet soon!”

“Yeah…”

I thought that I would hear her happy voice when I say so, but to my surprise, her voice sounds down.

I become worried because of it.

“What’s wrong? Why do you sound so down?”

She remains silent for a while…

I have a really bad feeling about this…

Don’t tell me…just like when she told me before, she is getting abused again…?

“Eh? What’s going on? Did something happen? You’re making me worried!”

I told her so, trying to get her to tell me what happened.

Then, she takes a deep breath, and slowly begins to speak.

“Umm…well…Ma-kun…”

“Yeah?”

“Ma-kun…there is something that I need to apologize for…”

“Eh?”

My heart is throbbing so hard as if it is going to burst…

I have a really bad feeling about this…

As I pray that my dreadful premonition will not come true,

“What…happened?”

“I…slept with my roommate yesterday…”

“Eh?”

I can’t comprehend her words. It’s as if my brain stops working the moment she said those words.

“I’m sorry…”

“Eh? Eh?? Eh??? No way…this must be a joke, right? What are you talking about?”

“I’m really sorry…”

“We just decided that we are going to move in together soon, right!? You promised that you wouldn’t do something like that, didn’t you?”

I got angry and blamed her for everything.

“…I’m truly sorry.”

It seems that she can’t bear it anymore and hangs up the phone.

I try to call her again and again, but she doesn’t pick up my calls…

Afterwards, I can’t focus on my work for the whole day…

Why? Why did this happen?

Why did you break your promise??

Uncontrollable anger and negative emotions overwhelm me…

When I return home from work and check my private email address, I notice that I received an email from her.

It reads…

‘I’m truly sorry…Ma-kun…

I know that no amount of apologizing will make my action forgivable…

I have been refusing to have physical intimacy with my roommate for a long time, I gave him various reasons.

But last night, my roommate stayed with me until late at night…and said a lot of things to me…

And since I can’t talk about my relationship with you…I reluctantly gave him my body…

After the deed was done, when my roommate went to take a shower, I couldn’t stop crying.

All I could think about was you, Ma-kun…

I’m truly…sorry…’

As I’m reading the email, anger fills up my heart.

“You said that you want to move in together soon, so I try my best to make it happen! You told me that you love me, so I agreed to everything you say! Now you say that you are cheating on me!? What’s wrong with you!”

I shout so angrily.

After a while, I finally managed to calm myself down…

She just did something truly unforgiveable…

But even so…I still love her…

I can’t bring myself to break up with her so easily…

There must be some reason behind it…maybe, she is abused by his roommate again?

I calm myself down and reply to the email.

‘Anyway, I’ll come to your place tomorrow after work. Let’s meet and talk about this calmly…’
