Chapter 22

Mitsuya

It's been a week since that incident. I can't face y/n so I decided to send my assistants to all the meetings. I want to let go of the project but Machi said that it stated on the contract that I need to fulfill my duties so I don't have any choice but to finish the gown.

A door opens behind me. I look back and Yuzuha is standing in front, just staring at me.

"Hi," I said with a smile but she didn't respond. After a while of staring she closed the door, I didn't move an inch because I know that she'll be back. Moments later the door opens again and there is Yuzuha, standing while hugging a container of salt.

"Get out of here you evil spirit!" She said and was about to throw salt at me.

"Wait!" I said, covering my face with my arms. She didn't throw me anything so I peek at her.

"Why are you here? After you pushed us away?"

"She's back," I said almost in a whisper.

Yuzuha's face suddenly softened. She sits beside me and puts the container of salt on the floor. "What happened? You look like someone shit on your face."

"I was wrong."

"Eh? You don't say." She said sarcastically. "I told you countless of times, y/n will never leave you without any reasons but you didn't listen. You let yourself get eaten by anger. You slowly went to a dark place and became a man whore."

"I-" I closed my mouth because I can't think of anything to say, She's right.

"Yuzuha, I think this time, I hurt her so much that I don't think we can start over again."

"What did you do?"

"I told her words... awful words... words that I can't take back. I also kinda force myself to her, I blackout when I remember that she's engaged... She keeps telling me that it hurts but I didn't stop, instead I told her to bear with it." I paused when I realized what I've done. I brushed my hair with my fingers. "I am awful!"

Yuzuha sigh and suddenly punched me in the face. "Well, I can't blame you entirely. You've been kept in the dark for five fucking years but what the fuck man?! Auntie taught you to respect a woman! you have two sisters!"

I look back at her and wipe the blood from my lips. "I know and I regret everything! If I can just turn back the time." I sigh in frustration. "The guy she's engaged with went to me and explained everything. They are not together, Yuzuha. for five years I thought that they were together, Happy while I'm here, suffering but turns out that she accepted the fixed marriage for me... for my family."

"I knew it! I felt like it's weird when y/n suddenly broke up with you while you were in a happy relationship." Yuzuha rubs her chin. "Now you know the truth. what's your plan?"

"I don't know. I want to talk to her, but I can't face her after what I did. "

"Don't you think it's better to face the situation now? If you still love her isn't it time to make a move? You're an adult now not a high school delinquent. You can do something, you can make things right."

"She's getting married." I felt Yuzuha's hand smack my head. "Ow! What's that for?"

"To wake you up. You're not this coward, Taka-chan. Do something before it's too late."

y/n

"Do you want to change your designer?" Kazu asked me. we're eating chicken in my living room while drinking beer.

"Huh? No, Takashi needs this project." I said in a monotone, I am starting to space out again. I snapped out when I heard his beer bottle slam the coffee table.
