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

Miyako had failed twice already in her plan.

She used forceful methods to pluck Haruki out of Emiko’s life. Using money or authority she tried to separate the two and help her daughter to lead an ideal life.

However, she failed. The thick-skinned college student was not wavered by her proposal or warning. Not to talk about how Emiko intervened in the middle of the conversation.

Then she tried manipulation. Convincing a small girl to take pictures of Kouske and Emiko and posting them online seemed a little absurd but still effective. Emiko was a well-known model and if the media dug into her information a little closely, they would have found out, how Kouske and Emiko share a past as well.

In that way, any boy would fight with their partner and Miyako expected the same from Haruki. However, as she thought, that person was purely a leech, who had firmly attached himself to Emiko. It didn’t help that Emiko posted a picture with him the next day as well—turning the attention of the media in an entirely different direction.

However, Miyako hasn’t lost her will to detach the two. If not any indirect method then she would implant someone between them in a way where Emiko herself would throw that person out of her life.

That was why Miyako did some research on Haruki and found out about his past relationships. A very interesting person came up upon investigation and Miyako grabbed the opportunity.

Yuna had been on Miyako’s plan ever since she met Haruki back in Tokyo. The little girl was so desperate for money that selling her body seemed to be her only option. As such, she wouldn’t even think of double-crossing Miyako at this point.

‘Everything is going perfect…’ The dinner that would be served would have a specific kind of drug mixed in Haruki’s food. That drug would intoxicate him enough to dull his senses and make him excessively aroused. In such a situation, he wouldn’t even think twice before lunging on his childhood lover.

Miyako knew what she was doing was against her morals…but sometimes, any mother would go to extreme lengths to ensure their child’s well-being.

‘Just a little more, Emi…and I will free you from that weasel’s clutches…’

*****

Around eight, Emiko and Haruki came down to the dining table to have dinner with her parents.

The first person to notice them was Ryouske who raised his brows and asked, “Everything fine, Emi? You seem mad about something?”

Emiko blinked in surprise but again, it was her father who noticed. Anything from him about her could not be hidden for long.

“Ah…just a little argument with my manager. Nothing serious.” Emiko sweetly smiled at Haruki, who pulled a chair for her and took a seat right beside her.

The pair looked quite complimenting and the boy seemed caring toward his daughter—Ryouske noted with a soft smile lifting his lips.

Miyako looked at the scene indifferently before she gestured for the dinner to be served.

The reaction from the lady made Haruki a little tense but he didn’t ask her anything and patiently remained seated.

“So Haruki, what are your thoughts after graduation? Pursuing masters?” To lift the mood around the table, Ryouske casually asked.

Haruki was thankful to the man for breaking the silence before he answered with slight eagerness, “My brother-in-law suggested I take the MBA degree after graduation but I am thinking of getting recruited by a company right after.”

Haruki’s plans haven’t changed even after his life changed after meeting Emiko. He wanted to work and earn.

Even though Emiko also suggested he take the master’s degree and possibly start his own company, Haruki denied such a suggestion. He didn’t want to entirely rely on Emiko and starting up a company on his own seemed like a pipe dream.

Ryouske raised his brows before asking, “Are you sure you want to work for a company? Even if you don’t want to rely on Emi for financial support, you can take a loan from the bank through a proper plan for your own start-up.”

Haruki was amazed to see that Emiko’s father understood how Haruki wasn’t seeking Emiko’s support for his future. However, it wasn’t him who responded,

“I can give you a loan, Haru-kun! Just say the word.” Seeing the enthusiastic side of his daughter Kyouske smiled as he said,

“Don’t get too excited Emi. From what I can see, Haruki is trying to become a self-dependent and responsible man. And I think it’s a very spirited and admirable goal.”

Haruki couldn’t help smiling at the man’s words as he held Emiko’s hand under the table and replied,

“Indeed as Harada-san said; I want to become a responsible person…on whom you can rely on Emiko-san.”

Emiko had already stopped eating upon feeling her hand being enveloped by his, and hearing those words, she felt her heart racing in elation and anticipation for the future. Her Haru-kun wants to build a future with her…

*SCREECH*

To disturb the growing warm atmosphere around the table, one of the chairs was abruptly pushed back before the lady wearing glasses, stood up.

“I am done.”

Kyouske narrowed his eyes at his wife but to no avail. Nor did she mind how her daughter was glaring at her as well. Taking her phone she didn’t bat an eye at anyone else and just made her way back to the study room.

Once she left, Ryouske sighed before he said, “I am sorry for that, Haruki…it’s just she became really stubborn sometimes.”

Haruki looked flustered being suddenly apologized by the elder one as he hurriedly replied, “No, no it’s fine. It’s not like I blame Miyako-san or anything. She decided to share a table with me was hefty enough.”

The lack of any hidden meaning to those words and the way his eyes radiated a certain emotion that was akin to sadness, made the man sigh in grief.

Seriously, Ryouske couldn’t discern why his wife would hate such a kind and caring boy like Haruki.

Regardless, the dinner came to an end on a gloomy note as Haruki and Emiko went upstairs to sleep in their separate rooms.

… however, this night was far too long to sleep yet.
