After Being Betrayed By My Beloved Childhood Friend and Best friend

V3 Chapter 9 | [Kouki] Take It and Fall

"...You see. I have your baby in my belly right now."

Hazuki wanted to talk to me, so I went to Hanasaki Park and Hazuki told me she was pregnant and asked me to marry her.

No way, right?

We only had sex raw on safe days, and other than that, we had sex with a rubber.

How could she get pregnant?

I told her I couldn't do it.

Of course, it's hard for a high school student to get married, have kids, and make a living. Besides, I want to go to college and have more fun.

"Hazuki, you have to get rid of the child you're carrying. This is not a request. You must do it."

I told Hazuki to get rid of the baby and quickly left the park and went back to my house.

I pick up a magazine from my room and throw it down in anger.

(Damn it, how did this happen?)

After about 30 minutes, I was able to gradually calm down.

I don't think Hazuki, who said she wanted to have a baby that badly, would honestly abort right away just because I told her to do so. I couldn't stay calm today, but I'm okay now. I'm sure I'll be fine as long as I explain it properly the next time I see her.

I know how hard it is to get married as a student, as I know from my parents.

Ever since I was a small child, they had worked hard and put in a lot of sweat and tears. Although I was grateful to see them, I knew as a child that I didn't want to be like them.

Two days after talking to Hazuki in the park.

I went to the living room and sat down at the dining room table.

They were sitting in front of me, their expressions very stiff, and I could see the seriousness of the conversation that was about to begin. Then, my father opens his heavy mouth.

"I heard that you got Hazuki pregnant and instead of treating her nicely, you unilaterally told her to have an abortion."

I was astonished that my father knew about it.

When I looked at my mother, she looked as stern as my father, so of course, she knew.

Why?

Why?

It hasn't even been that long.

"Hazuki-chan gathered up all her courage and came to me for advice."

Hazuki?

I didn't think she had that kind of energy...

"And? Did you really say that? Don't you love Hazuki-chan? Did you let Hazuki-chan get pregnant if you didn't love her?"

"Yes, I do love Hazuki..."

"Then why don't you stand by Hazuki-chan? Hazuki-chan is ready to go through hardships. I heard that she said openly that she still wants to marry you and have children with you."

I couldn't look up and kept my head down, listening to my father.

"What about you? It's easy to say in words that you love her, but all you're doing and saying is hurting her. That's not love."

"Because, you know... student marriage is only going to make life harder."

"Oh, it's hard. Yes, it's hard work. But you can be happy. If you live your life after marriage thinking only of Hazuki and the child you will give birth to, you will definitely be happy."
