When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere!

[Naomi’s POV:]

God, help me.

I was a twenty-six years old woman, who had been in quite a few relationships before I joined Emiko. Those relationships weren’t that remarkable but still, I had the experience of youthful love.

However, those experiences were nothing in comparison to the scenery my eyes were greeted with, early in the morning.

The sweet and warm sensation I felt around Emiko and Haruki-kun was causing me a toothache and urging me to just disappear.

I didn’t know, despite being an adult Emiko could express such a bashful reaction just because Haruki-kun supported her when she got an imbalance

She was a model, and couldn’t handle a four-inch heel? Yeah, yeah.

I led them to the elevator while Haruki insisted on carrying the bags. He was a nice and mature person for his age.

Although I haven’t talked to him about the pregnancy stuff, there was a feeling in my heart that said, Haruki would be cautious about things like these. He has been careful about Emiko’s career and her image until now

‘But he is a boy after all… ‘ I remember my last boyfriend, who was eager to impregnate me since he wanted to possess me. It was quite common in boys these days, to have their partner under their thumb.

However, in Emiko’s situation, things were just the opposite.

She could become pregnant with Haruki’s child to make him burdened with her responsibilities. In that way, Haruki would never leave her—or so Emiko must be perceiving things.

However, I deemed such ideologies ridiculous. And I know, Haruki would agree with me. After all, he was the one who should be insecure about the relationship, not her.

“Naomi? You look quite deep in your thoughts. Can you really drive in such a state?” If it would have been anyone else, I would have believed that they were worried for me. But not Emiko.

…she was just being cautious.

“I can drive,” I responded with a short reply before helping Haruki-kun to put the luggage in the boot.

“Ummm…” After we came back to the front, Haruki looked puzzled about something when Emiko called out.

“Let’s sit on the back, Haru-kun. Naomi is habitual to sit alone at the front.”

Although it was true, it still hurts to hear it so bluntly, Emiko…

“We shouldn’t consider someone’s kindness in such a casual manner, Emiko-san. How about I sit beside you for the early hours of the ride so you don’t feel sleepy Naomi-san? ”

“…”

I was speechless while my heart was filled with inexplicable warmth. Did I tell Haruki-kun how he was wasted on someone so selfish and unfriendly as Emiko?

“But-but, Haru-kun?!” Emiko looked beyond devastated since her dear Haru-kun was being considerate toward someone other than her.

The urge to accept his kindness and enjoy the bitter expression on Emiko’s face made me almost nod my head.

However,

“It’s okay, Haruki-kun. As Emiko said, I like to drive alone at the front. It helps me focus.”

Haruki easily looked not convinced by my statement but he was mature enough to not pry into it anymore.

“Alright. Though, please take a break when you feel tired.” I nodded with a smile at his kindness.

Haah…were there really guys out there, so kind and warm?

“Ou!” Just as Haruki entered the car I felt a strong flick on my forehead before I glared at Emiko.

“Stop staring at my Haru-kun with those unhealthy eyes of yours.”

“Unhealthy? What are you even on about? Haruki-kun is like six years younger than me. Almost like a younger sibling. ”

“That makes me worried even more. I have seen your preference for men. ”

My face instantly flushed at the comment. My gaze faltered since the thing she stated just now hit the nail. My last relationship was with a boy who was in his last year of high school. However, since I was feeling guilty about using him just based on my physical attraction to him, I broke up.

“…you don’t have to be so brutal about it,” I muttered in a low voice, unable to come out of my embarrassment so easily.

“Now that I think about it, wasn’t your ex also from Kyoto? Is that why you seem so enthu-ou!”

This time, I flicked her forehead with my face not ready to cool down.

“What are you doing?! I didn’t say anything wrong!”

I didn’t respond to that and with a hump, turned toward the car.

This girl spouts anything that comes to her mind.

I was no longer at that age where I wanted to fall into the trap of romance and all.

‘In the first place, he must have already got himself a girlfriend…’

*****

The car ride to Kyoto began with Emiko sitting inches beside Haruki with their hands connected while they looked out of the window.

Although they were advancing in their relationship at a dramatic pace after Haruki saw the news and began to see those dreams, it still was a little embarrassing to be affectionate in public.

Last night, it was blissful holding Emiko in his arms and feeling her warmth against him. However, it was also true that Haruki wasn’t able to sleep much.

And upon recalling what happened in the morning, he was getting all flustered.

‘My palms would get sweaty if become nervous…’ Haruki tried calming himself when he suddenly felt Emiko detaching her hand away and using a paper towel to thoroughly wipe her hand.

“It must be feeling unpleasant because of sweat. Sorry, Haru-kun.” She apologetically smiled at me which made me realize something,

“Are you getting nervous Emiko-san?”

Her hand halted and her cheeks adapted a little rosiness before she responded, “…I mean, despite being the older one here, it is Haru-kun who is taking the lead. I am destined to be a little embarrassed, no?”

After a pause, she added, “It’s because I like Haru-kun too much. ”

My lips extended at her honest confession before I also told her the truth, ” It’s not easy for me either. But I no longer want to remain reserved around you.”

As I said, I retook her hand in mine and extended my intentions.

I wanted to bring us closer and knowing Emiko-san’s insecurities, it was my duty to be proactive.

“If Haru-kun says something like that…I might become a little greedy from time to time…”

Her body leaned on me as she whispered those words. Although I could see her face turning a little red, she didn’t hesitate to get intimate.

I raised my arm and wrapped it around her shoulder to lessen the distance before I responded, “I will do my best to fulfill your wishes; so don’t hesitate from now on.”

Did I really mean what I said? Was it really all right to embrace Emiko-san without having any doubts about my own feelings? Was I already in love with her and couldn’t muster up the courage to tell her?

Lots of questions yet her shy smile didn’t allow me to dwell on them.

*SCREECH*

Suddenly our eyes turned toward the front where Naomi-san hit the breaks and was about to get out of the car.

“I need a break.”
