Love Game (Toji Fushiguro x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 24 : No More

[Three Weeks Later...]

Days turned into a week, and then another. Still, there was no word from Suguru. You tried calling, texting, emailing, but every attempt went unanswered. Panic began to set in, and you found yourself constantly checking your phone, refreshing your emails, hoping for some sign that he was okay. But still, nothing...

[A day later...]

You were napping on the couch, your head resting on Toji's shoulder. He was focused on the screen, watching a movie while absent-mindedly munching on chips, when your phone suddenly started buzzing loudly, startling him.

"What the hell?" he muttered, glancing over at your phone on the coffee table. It kept buzzing and vibrating, the screen lighting up with notifications. He picked it up, intending to turn it off so it wouldn't disturb the movie, but then he noticed the name flashing on the screen.

'Suguru'.

His curiosity piqued, he glanced at you to make sure you were still asleep before swiping to unlock your phone, only to be greeted with a barrage of messages, all from Suguru.

(SMS)

Suguru: Y/N 😭!!! I'M SO SORRY! I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY! I know I FUCKED up big time. I accepted a special grade mission on that day during the morning and got caught up. I got sucked on another dimension where time passes slower. I shouldn't have accepted the mission knowing that I had plans with you on that day. I'm so sorry for making the same mistake twice just like what I did six years ago for choosing something else over you. I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings. I was wrong. Please forgive me.

Suguru: I know it sounds like an excuse, but I swear it's true. I couldn't contact anyone when it happened. I lost all means of communication. I'm so sorry for making you worry. I never wanted to hurt you like this.

Suguru: I know I messed up big time. I should've known better than to accept a mission knowing I had plans with you. I'm such an idiot.

Suguru: I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'm begging you to give me another chance.

Suguru: How long did you wait for me at the park? I feel so awful for making you wait. I'm so sorry for making you worry. I never wanted to hurt you like this. I'm the worst.

Suguru: I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'm begging you to give me another chance. I'm willing to do anything to make it up to you. I'm willing to cancel all my upcoming missions to make time for you.

Suguru : Did I ruined my chance to court you again? What should I do to make you forgive me? Should we meet up somewhere? I will wait for you no matter how long it will take. I promise.

Suguru : Can we meet today instead? I'll make sure nothing gets in the way this time.

Suguru : I can't focus on anything else. All I can think about is making things right between us. Please, just give me a chance.

Suguru : I found a quiet place where we can talk. No interruptions, no distractions, just you and me.

Suguru : Here's the address [Address Name], I'll be waiting for you at 11am sharp. Don't worry about the time. I'll wait for you as long as it takes.

Suguru : I just want to see you, Y/N. To explain, to apologize, to make things right. Please, come. I'll be waiting.

"Special Grade Mission, my ass." Toji growled internally, his grip tightening on the phone. "More like he couldn't be bothered to show up, and now he's trying to sweep it under the rug with these half-assed excuses."
