Ｔｈｅ Ｏｎｅ Ｔｈａｔ Ｉ Ｌｅｔ Ｇｏ (Matsukawa X Reader)

Ch.12 Effort

■3rd Person POV■

My feet are heavy as I move them to walk, heading to the station. I stand near the borderline, looking at the train as it stops and passes in front of me.

The next train should be the one where Y/N's in.

If she's not using the bus..

My heart is beating faster, nervous and scared that I might not gonna see her inside the usual cart.

Though I asked her to still use the train... she might not gonna follow...

As the train stops in front of me and I look up to see inside.

Dub Dub

A familiar (h/c) hair is visible from the door's window. Y/N is there, on the train, standing in her usual spot.

My heart warmed knowing that she might gonna let me have my chance to talk it out with her.

I walk inside and stand in front of her, making some space for her.

Matsukawa: good morning...

Y/N: good... morning...

Though she stills avoid looking at me, she's being here on this train, is enough to make me happy knowing that she might not gonna avoid me as much.

■Y/N's POV■

Here I am, standing in front of Issei on the same train as any other day.

~Flashback last night

Ino: WHAT? YOU MET THAT MAN STEALER AND NOT LEAVING ANY BRUISES ON HER FACE?

Ino is grabbing my shoulders, making me look up at her. Another hands appear and help to loosen Ino's hands from me.

Makoto: Ino let her talk... not everyone has a hand in the speed of lightning to smack others like you..

Makoto and Ino are in my house after I call them. I tell them what happened, about Issei saving me from the molester, making some space for me, and my encounter with Mayuki san too.

Y/N: and I... don't know what to feel...

Ino: Y/N... he hurt you... no matter what that bitch said about she failed to get his heart... he still cheated on you...

Makoto: but he also protect you and saved you... and injured himself... signing that he does care about you...

Ino and Makoto are looking at each other, clashing their opinion. A hand grabs mine.

Ino: Y/N... what do you want to do... remember how you cried, how hurt you were...

Makoto: Y/N I'm sorry but... I think, though you were hurt... you need to see how he's trying to gain your attention again... believe me... people could change after tasting a huge regret and I think... Matsukawa is experiencing that already....

-Ends of flashback

Makoto and Ino told me to sort my thoughts out and I...

I look up to see Issei staring at me and then I avert my gaze away again.

I choose to come...

And see...

Whether I can finally let him explain to me...

But for now...
