Chapter 126 Impatient
Impatient
Ai’s PoV
I did something that was a big deal for me. I invited the person I love to my apartment at night.
It’s definitely a forbidden move. Besides, I’m now alone. My nanny is away.
It’s too dangerous to invite someone I’ve only known for a week.
But even so, my alarm didn’t go off.
Because that man I invited is Aono Eiji.
In the past week, I’ve come into contact with his true nature. A kind man who tries to help the weak even when he’s in danger. A strong person who can move forward without giving up even in such a hopeless situation. And a personality that people around him are quick to reach out to when he’s suffering.
He is surrounded by many people who are willing to help him, even if it means putting their own well-being at risk. This is a clear indication that he has also been helpful to others, just like he helped me. I am certain that he has always been a helpful person to those in need. This is why true friends stand by him, even when the rest of the world seems to be against him.
He’s only one year older than me, but he’s so amazing.
When I’m alone, I always think of him. …
Others would see me as someone who has it all. Money, talent, popularity. But what I really wanted was broken and has been lost ever since.
I envied him for being blessed with parents and true friends. I was dazzled by the way he had what I wanted and cherished it.
And he even included me in that circle. He gave me what I wanted but in a different way.
I think that’s why I fell in love with him.
He saved my life. That’s a big part of it. But more fundamentally, I really love him. …
We take the elevator in the apartment building to my room floor. I was nervous and so was him. So we were silent the whole time. But strangely enough, even this silence is somehow comforting and reassuring.
“Senpai, you’re too nervous. Going to a girl’s room at night feels like doing something… wrong, doesn’t it?”
I dare to tease him like that, partly to hide my embarrassment. If I don’t, I get nervous.
“Of course, I get nervous. I’ve never been in this situation before.”
I almost let out an “eh” voice. Has he ever been to Amada-san’s house? No, he probably has. Because I’m sure they had a family relationship.
After calmly analyzing the facts, I came to a conclusion.
“I see. So, I’m special, right?”
I’m so happy that I put it into words. I’m happy that I’m special to him.
“No comment.”
“Don’t be such a politician.”
“I mean, are you sure? I mean, how much more careless can you be? You’re alone now, right? If something goes wrong. …”
Soon we were on the floor I wanted to be on. Being a gentleman, he wouldn’t do anything I didn’t want to do, I’m sure. I didn’t have to worry about him forcibly attacking me. Because he is Aono Eiji. The man I love would never do such a thing.
I was also filled with the feeling that I shouldn’t have made such an invitation, which I couldn’t complain about no matter what happened.
“I’m sure it’s okay. And I believe in my Senpai. We’ll just have a cup of tea and chat as usual. And …”
I’m about to say something I shouldn’t. It’s all over the place.
“And?”
My emotions are running wild and the words I swallowed the other day are coming out clearly. I tried my best to swallow them back then.
“With Senpai, it’s okay to make a ‘small mistake’.”
Don’t get me wrong — I absolutely don’t condone cheating. That’s a total taboo for me, and something like that is completely unacceptable in a relationship.
ReplyDeleteBut the way he behaves, the things he says, and his entire passive, overly cautious vibe — it’s just so hopeless that I honestly can’t blame the girls who are involved with him for eventually getting interested in someone else. I mean, who wants a guy who can’t even make the first move?
If you’re a woman and you have to force your way through every stage of a relationship because he’s stuck in some weird moral limbo, it’s just pathetic. And if I were in her place, I’d feel unattractive, unwanted, undesired, and frankly, not very feminine.
I don’t know — maybe you’ll disagree, but seriously, being a man in a relationship shouldn’t be about drawing lines of morality.
Cheating, stay cheating.
DeleteYeah, no. You seem to just be trying to make up excuses to shift the blame to him. Everything has indicated that the Ex is so selfish that she would have eventually cheated on Eiji even if he was more active in pursuing the physically side of a relationship.
DeleteGang it's still Miyuki's fault for not even consulting about the mc's nature, cause that's the whole point of being in a relationship; being able to give/tell someone everything that affects you.
DeleteIt's just miyuki being vain and selfish. Don't like him? Tell him you should be comfortable with him cause you know him for 10 years. And she could've broken up with him before having an affair. It's that simple. And there's no way anything you say justified miyuki behavior
Deleteare you retarded?
DeleteAnother flawed logic of "I know XXX is wrong but..." statement. That's why seriously, people like you are all just good Samaritan yeah? And frankly speaking, it's disgusting. Your mindset it is.
DeleteCheating is cheating, no excuses.
You mean to say there should be no moral standards in a relationship, so two people shouldd meet and just hook up that's all good for your stupid a_ss
DeleteAnd yes being assertive can also be used against you. At least this is fiction.
DeleteSi a ti te gusta de esa forma está bien, pero no des por echo que tu manera es la mejor, todos son diferentes
DeleteLow tier rage bait no one thinks that way, you’re pathetic.
DeleteRelationships in Japan work very differently, public shows of affection are rarely seen like for example holding hand or walking while hugging or guiding your fiance by the shoulder. Im talking for my self here but I've been thinking things like "kiss her" "hug her" "hold her hand" but those things are a big no no in Japan. Also cheating is cheating.
DeleteThey’ve known each other a week man… tf are you on about
DeleteAmen
DeleteFor your sake your bloodline better end with you
DeleteThey're in high school. They're not meant to be having sex.
DeleteThere is such thing as communication. And cheating can never be justified. Not to mention everyone takes things at a different pace, rushing into things without a care is exactly what lust is and why it completely destroyed Miyuki
DeleteNahh, just because your culture teach you tu F**k with a girl even in the first meeting, doesnt meant its right in another country. It means here in asia men respect women alt more than your people, we think about the consequences of what could happen if a girl and a man just having a one night stand. Women are judge by their past everywhere, and lets be real if you have to choose between a girl that had 10+ bpdy count and a girl who's stil still pure and protect her body for her loved one. Who's your gonna choose? A bimbo that have a high probablity to cheat because she used to, and a girl that gave her a just for you and only you?
DeleteSó uma palavra. ADOLESCENTE!
DeleteOther points you said about Aono aside, Miyuki literally had this plan:
DeleteHave "fun" with Kondo temporarily (til grad iirc)
Never tell Aono
Then marry Aono
I'm gonna start praying every night for your gf/wife to cheat on you ( pretty sure you don't even have a girl in your pathetic worthless joyless fu_ked up loser life )
DeleteBro stop hating on mc. The mc is not passive as you are making him out to be. He would have refused the offer entirely but he accepted knowing something might end up happening
Deletewe found you miyuki alt
Deleteyeah no
Deletecheating is cheating, and also relationship is not just about s#x only
DeleteMy brother in christ, did you perhaps miss the part in Miyuki's monologue about her saying she would have eventually cheated, admitting that she wanted to be adventurous because it was 'youth' and that Kondo just so happened to be there at the time? She also said it was supposed to be just a fling, but she got addicted so uh, yeah
DeleteThe whole story it just 1 week
ReplyDeleteDamn
Pretty sure Takayanagi sensei must be a detective
damn only 1 week 😭
ReplyDeleteI think that’s a mistype. The story went day by day for about a week’s worth of time, then had a small time skip of a week, so they’ve known each other for about two weeks now.
ReplyDeleteAh okay that makes sense
Delete1 week and he'll probably get a homerun with the school's idol.
ReplyDeleteBruh, they have an elevator inside their house?!?! Is her house a mall?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it was mentioned that she lives in an apartment complex... similar to yukinoshita's situation from oregairu
Deleteallat in 1 week, lmao
ReplyDeleteI don't condone her cheating, and she should have communicated but its still his fault too. they were together for 12 years and dated for 3 or so and he never pushed their relationship forward, I think I remember didn't even kiss and he was indecisive about holding her hand, this is pathetic behavior.
ReplyDeletein some aspects the MC deserves to get cheated on and you root for kondo to take his girl because the MC is so pathetic.
even in this new relationship he's squirming around trying to avoid flirting and she's doing all the initiation.
I also don't see what the girls see in kondo, he seems like a loser but he has a sweet tongue .
f your mentality, i think you need some mental support. CHEATING IS CHEATING. And They are in High School they are not meant to be having s#x, Also relationship is not just about s#x only.
DeleteHmmm the world definitely doesn't need someone like you in it i hope an accident befalls upon you
Deletelmao what a bunch of losers in this comment section, getting triggered over nothing lmfao
ReplyDeleteAnd yah, he's right, MC is a total pussy and an obvious self insert lol
