When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere! - Chapter 62- Scar
It takes almost five hours to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto by car. Emiko intended to drive herself initially, however, since she wasn’t able to sleep much(because of all the cuddling and intimacy) she called her assistant to drive.
Naomi was the only person who knew about Haruki and Emiko and the latter felt more comfortable around her friend, rather than the driver of the company.
Naomi arrived, half awake, early in the morning with her left hand holding two coffees which Emiko told her to bring from her favorite cafe. On the other hand, the woman was holding a paper bag of sandwiches, onigiris, and some other snacks.
“I didn’t even bathe properly because of your text. You could have told me last night, so I would have prepared better.” Handing the coffee to her friend, Naomi grumbled.
Wearing a newly bought one-piece frock dress that reached her knees and had floral patterns, Emiko smiled beautifully—making Naomi dazed a little.
‘As I thought, she looks most photo-ready when she is around him…’ Naomi soon sighed and sat on the couch.
“I was planning to drive there myself…but something happened last night an-ah!”
Emiko was startled as suddenly, Naomi got back up on her feet and held her shoulders, as the short-haired woman asked in a highly concerned voice, “You did use contraceptive right?!”
Emiko’s face began to heat up slightly before she pushed Naomi away slightly and huffed, “I would like to keep my personal life a secret, Miss Assistant.”
“Please don’t joke, Emiko. You know how crucial these times are for us. The Miss Universe is about to happen this year and also, and we have signed contracts with some leading companies as well.”
Emiko frowned slightly, “Does it matter? Even if I am no longer a model, I still have my company.”
Sitting on the couch, she concluded with this discussion, “Your job is to suggest and assist me, Naomi; not to tell me, what should I do and what I shouldn’t.”
Naomi was stunned for a whole minute. Only she has seen how much effort and time Emiko has put into her modeling career. From small contests to modeling for big brands—she has leveled herself at a tremendous pace within these five years.
She was a known figure internationally yet…just because of her love Emiko wouldn’t even think twice before throwing it all away.
‘Forget it…I will talk to him…’ Naomi sighed before she began placing the bags on the center table.
“What about the bags? Have you packed them?”Naomi asked, without turning to look at her.
“Hmm…I am planning to return tonight. But just for insurance, I have packed some clothes.”
Naomi nodded before she asked again, “What about the security? Have you notified that mysterious wannabe security head?”
Emiko chuckled at the title given to the security chief as she said, “Yup, I have. The security cameras, guards, etcetera. What about you? Where are your bags?”
“In the car. What about Haruki-kun? Where is he?”
“Let me check.” Emiko got up from her seat before she checked the bathroom and found it empty.
Unlocking the door, she was momentarily frozen mid-step as she saw Haru buttoning his shirt while facing in her direction.
Haruki raised his head to look at her…only to find himself getting a little embarrassed upon finding her gaze traveling down his still-unclothed body.
“I will be there in a minute…”Haruki let his words trailed off as he saw Emiko walking inside the room and standing only some inches apart from him.
“This cut…when did you get this?” Gliding her hand near the left side of his middle abdomen, she asked in a concerned tone.
Her warm fingers sent a jolt down his spine but he controlled his emotions and answered her, “I was trying to cross the fence of my middle school and got injured. It wasn’t that severe but the scar remained.”
Haruki inwardly chuckled as he remembered those reckless days of his life when he normally thought later and partook in something first. It was like his body and mind were two different entities.
Emiko somehow looked uncomfortable seeing the scar, which made Haruki think that she was feeling disgusted seeing the black mark as he began buttoning his shirt hurriedly.
“I…I am sorry you had to see that-”
“No, no! Don’t misunderstand, Haru-kun. I am not upset to see your scar…absolutely not.”
Haruki blinked in confusion as he asked, “Then?”
Emiko fleetingly looked at him before directing her gaze away and uttering in a barely audible voice, “…it’s just…I don’t like the cause behind the scar.”
Haruki’s eyes slightly widened as he asked, “You know about that incident?”
Hearing his words, Emiko inwardly clicked her tongue. She didn’t want him to learn how much she had studied him and also about his past.
However, the cat was already out of the bag.
“Yes…I do. And although it was not for me, I think it was really cool of Haru-kun to do something like that.”
Haruki wanted to ask how she got to know about that incident, however, her compliment sealed his lips as he smiled in embarrassment.
“It wasn’t that great…but well, if Emiko-san gets in trouble I will come to save you instantly as well.”
Now it was Emiko’s turn to blush as she stared at Haruki with slightly widened eyes.
Haruki also looked back in her eyes with gentleness and sincerity as his eyes spoke more than his words for her.
It was strange how things were changing between them so soon, however, Haruki didn’t feel disappointed in himself. Rather, he liked this sensation he had begun to feel for the woman in front.
This undeniable and profound feeling that makes him so attached to her—Haruki wanted to nurture this feeling.
Wordlessly, Haru extended his hand and cupped her left cheek while Emiko’s hand rested on his chest.
The distance between their faces decreased not so long after, as the two young adults dove in for a sweet kiss.
This wasn’t a passionate kiss, but just interacting with their lips. Experiencing the warmth and enjoying this fullness they provide to each other.
Without her, he was lost. Without him, she was empty.
The bond of their love was growing stronger, and so was Haruki’s determination to keep this girl in his arms; always happy.

A/N:- Stupid! Who told you to raise a damn flag?!
So yeah, I was thinking really carefully about how I would like to end this story.
It would be a little dramatic, some tears and probably some blood as well. Anyway, maybe twenty-five chapters more before we would see an end to this love story.
I hope you guys will be with me until the end.
