Chapter 12 Discharged

Discharged

“I’ll say it again, me and Rumi will become brother and sister and live happily ever after. Senjo must also be independent.”

“…!!!”

Senjo became weak as if admitting defeat, and no longer even felt the will to fight.

“Senjo … are you alright?”

Of course, Rumi was worried about him as well.

But Senjo remained on the ground, his eyes turning white.

He was trembling and shaking and the ground was slowly getting damp and he had wet himself.

Obviously, the shock was too much for him.

Senjo was then taken to another room by the nurses who had rushed to the scene.

“Is he okay?”

“Thank you for taking care of him, Hayato-kun. Yes, he was just shaken up, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

That’s good.

I was discharged from the hospital a week later.

Senjo has been gone for some time. According to Rumi, Senjo has been mentally depressed and unstable ever since.

What does that mean?

When I left the hospital, Senjo showed up.

“… Yo, Hayato.”

“Senjo …”

“Mom told me. I heard you’re older than me.”

“Yes. So it’s only natural that I call you that.”

“About that…”

Senjo, who seemed a little reluctant to say something, looked at me with serious eyes.

“What?”

“It seems that Mother’s feelings won’t change. If that’s the case, I think I should think of my mother’s happiness first.”

“Heh, I’m proud of you”

“Alright. I thought it was crazy for a junior to sleep with my mother and think of her as his sister. But when I heard what happened, Hayato, it turns out you’re older than my mother. I didn’t know you were 21. You don’t look it.”

“That’s right. You confirmed it from the hospital, right?”

“Yes, I did. I’m sorry, but your accident was real. A car going 100 km/h came into the intersection and you were hit. …”

Yes, I was hit by a car and … I should’ve died. But by some miracle, I only suffered a minor fracture.

Normally I would have died instantly, but instead, I went into a coma.

It took me five years to regain consciousness.

“Thanks to this, I lost a lot of time. And time with Akane. … Well, I don’t really care about her anymore.”

“That’s right. She stabbed you and got arrested for attempted murder. Isn’t she a good sister?”

“In the past. Yeah, it was funny back then. Akane had no choice but to rely on me, and I had no choice but to rely on her. After I regained consciousness, my father went abroad immediately.”

Apparently, the cost of my hospitalization was too high, and my father was looking for money to cover the costs while he did business overseas.

“Hayato, I understand.”

“What, you approve of my relationship with Rumi?”

“… Yes, take care of my mother.”

Senjo spoke with great sadness.

And I knew it.

I’m sure Senjo wanted this to be his last farewell.

“Leave it to me. I will make Rumi happy.”

“I was relieved to hear these words.”

“All right, I guess this is goodbye.”

“For the last time, please … accompany me to the toilet.”

“… hmm? Oh, pee?”

I’m going to the toilet too, so I don’t mind.

I used the hospital toilet.

It was just the two of us, me and Senjo, alone.

When I went to the toilet, Senjo was behind me.

“… Hayato.”

“Eh? What’s wrong, Senjo? You look strange.”

“Hayato … Actually, I’m … bi–”

“him? …”

He suddenly pulled it out and made me freeze.

Bis()xuality … means that you can be both male and female.

No way!

“I … thought about you too, Hayato. The reason I hit you so hard was because I was jealous of my mom.”

“Ha! Haaaaah!!!”

“I don’t like younger men, but when I found out you were older, my feelings changed. Hayato, I’ll give you my mother. But in return, you must love me.”

Senjo hugged me.

I felt chills and goosebumps.

Hey, hey, that’s a lie, oh, oh, oh, oh, aahhh!
