Ex-girlfriend Witnessed
Miyuki’s PoV
“Ah, I haven’t eaten today?”
I wallowed alone in despair. Before I knew it, the sun was setting. I sat in the house, alone, without curtains or lights. Completely isolated. No one had said a kind word to me.
“It’s all my fault.”
No wonder. Eiji and his mother, the only ones who were always kind to me, are gone now. Even when my mother was late for work, I never felt lonely at Eiji’s house. There was warmth there—a family that treated me as one of their own.
My mother was angry because… I betrayed the people who had done so much for me. Kondo-senpai only saw me as a toy. I should’ve known better. I should’ve realized it from the beginning.
In the end, it was my own selfish desires that brought me to this point. When I looked at the photo I’d just seen, I calmed down briefly. But then, it felt as though my blood turned to ice, as if the warmth of my love had been a lie.
What did I tell Eiji? …
“No, don’t leave me. If Senpai abandons me, I won’t be able to live anymore.”
“Eiji is just my childhood friend, but he’s a stubborn, stalker-like, lousy, violent boyfriend.”
“Sorry, Eiji. I don’t want to be your girlfriend anymore. Don’t even talk to me at school!”
Remembering that moment fills me with nausea and intense self-loathing.
Why did I say those things? I’ve regretted it countless times, but today the disgust feels sharper than ever. Since that day… When I had my first affair with Kondo-senpai, I haven’t felt like myself—a stranger overtaken by madness.
A wave of nausea swept over me.
Why… Eiji was supposed to be a kind and loving boyfriend. I’ve always loved Eiji. He was my first love. I tried so hard to get close to him, and he finally fell in love with me.
I loved him for his kindness, his warm stories, and his home that made me feel happy.
But I’ve lost all of that. After my betrayal, Eiji stopped coming to the classroom. He was bullied by everyone, falsely accused, ostracized, and verbally attacked at his desk. And I didn’t stop it. No, worse—I joined in and cornered him.
I even called Eiji a stalker and accused him of being violent. Eiji, who had always been so kind to me, would never do such things. I was the one at fault all along.
I’m the worst. I cheated on him on his birthday. It’s not Eiji who deserves everyone’s anger—it’s me…
I managed to leave the house and went to the convenience store to get some food.
In the distance, I saw a couple crossing the street. I froze in place, unable to move.
It was Eiji. He was smiling happily. Next to him was… Ichijo Ai. The school idol. She was dressed so beautifully, with an air of effort and elegance that even I, as a person of the same s🬀x, couldn’t help but notice. They looked like lovers on a date.
Eiji wore a soft smile, the kind he would only show to someone he truly cared about.
My mind went blank, and I quickly hid so they wouldn’t see me.
“Thanks for today; it was a fun first date.”
Ichijo Ai smiled so warmly as she spoke those words.
“I’m really glad to hear that.”
“I look forward to the next time. Oh, and I know it’s a little late, but… may I celebrate your birthday?”
“What? How did you know it was my birthday?”
“Mom told me! I really enjoyed today, and I wanted to do something special to thank you.”
Her sweet voice and her expression radiated a love so pure, so angelic, that even I felt captivated by her charm.
“Thank you. I’ll look forward to it.”
At that moment, it hit me. Ichijo Ai had taken my place. Even Eiji’s mother accepted her—proof that she had told her about Eiji’s birthday. They were celebrating what should have been my moment with him.
Everything precious to me had been taken.
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t eat and ended up vomiting over and over. I lost all my strength. My vision blurred, and I struggled to breathe.
I screamed silently, making sure they wouldn’t hear me.
Even as pebbles and dirt filled my mouth, I couldn’t stop.
My personal hell had only just begun.
