IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE? || CHOSO KAMO ||

II.VII

CHAPTER II.VII
————————————————————

I SPENT THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH CHOSO, visiting him throughout the day and occasionally having dinner with him.

But I made one thing sure, I came home before Suguru did every single night, except...

After spending the whole day with Choso, I even ate dinner with him and then found myself on the couch watching a movie.

And somehow, I fell asleep with him and only managed to wake up very late into the night.

"Shit! I have to get home." I checked the time on my watch and scrambled around the house to gather my belongings.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry." he ran to the front door and unlocked it for me to let me out a wait.

"No no, don't worry. I'll text you tomorrow." I kissed him so quickly that it barely was considered to be one, but none of that mattered because I had just committed a cardinal sin in my books. But I'm pretty sure I've done worse in my life.

Regardless, I want to consider myself a new woman, a woman who does not return to her old ways. But my hypocrisy shows that I truly haven't changed yet.

I rushed out of the house, not having enough time to properly gather my things and practically jumped into the car and sped off.

After a short drive, I arrived at the underground parking lot of our apartment and spotted Suguru's car parked in its usual spot, usual for when he is at home that is.

I ran inside and prayed the elevator could speed up in any way, and by the time I unlocked the door to the house I realised that I had broken my streak, for the second time.

One singular light was on, it was the hanging lamp above the kitchen counter, and there I found Suguru, eating by himself.

I kept quiet, feeling embarrassed and ashamed of myself and pulled a stool out to sit across from him.

"Second time." he didn't look up from his food.

"I- I know, Suguru, I really am sorry-" I cut myself off after seeing Suguru shake his head in disappointment and keep quiet until he decided to speak up again.

Silence took over the room for a while, the still ambience and the tension between us magnified the anxiety in my stomach.

"I thought you would have stopped seeing Choso by now," he said so casually, he didn't even bother to look at me while saying it either.

"What?" my heart dropped and churned in my stomach.

"Take a minute to fix yourself up, you were obviously in a rush. And while you are, take ten seconds to look at yourself." he finally looked at me and pointed towards a mirror.

"Suguru, you must be getting the wrong idea." I tried laughing it off but it proved unsuccessful.

"Yeah, I don't think I am, Y/n." he furrowed his eyebrows with a frown.

"I don't understand." I frowned back.

"Okay. I thought you would have stopped seeing Choso after university. I would think that you as a person would have had the decency or self-respect to fucking stop after that horrific interaction you two had outside of that coffee shop back when you were still studying." he began bringing back all of the things I wished he knew nothing of.

"Even worse, you would think that you would stop after making the drunk mistake of hooking up with him while we were still in the beginning stages of our relationship. But no, I excused that because I thought that you were a decent person." he continued and all I felt was shame.

"Suguru, I'm sorry." I try to reach out for his hand but he keeps his distance by pulling away.

"And after that, you go away with your best friend and you just so happen to be living with the fucking guy, so, you don't even stop then!" he got increasingly frustrated and all that I could think about is how he knew all of this.

"I don't need to hear this mouthful again, Suguru." I looked away from him.

"You obviously didn't hear it enough?" he got up from his stool and put his plate in the sink.

"How long have you known?" I faced him again with my question.

"Since it all happened? Because you sure as hell didn't say a fucking peep." he laughed at me.

"I was scared, Suguru." I began tearing up and tried so hard to prevent it.

"Yeah, I'm sure," he spoke with sarcasm clear in his tone.

"Who told you?" I gained the courage to ask.

"Pretty sure everyone except you." he made a thinking pose before pointing at me.

"But you were working, I don't get it." tears took over and I covered my face with my palms.

"Gojo, Shoko, Nobara, and Yuji himself told me before you even admitted it, and you still haven't! And we just so happened to have a new woman working with us, and guess who's ex-wife that was? The ex-wife of the man you were and are sleeping with." he listed all the people that I thought I could trust at one point in my life, but now I knew that my trust meant nothing to them.

"Suguru, I swear I have only been recently seeing Choso. I saw him again the day after we decided to break up." I told him the truth, hoping it could make things better.

"Yeah, I know. Even that was a low blow." he rolled his eyes at me.

"I'm sorry, Suguru. I really am." I tried to hug him but he didn't reciprocate, and I felt alone.

"The damage has been done, Y/n." he put his hand on my head while I buried myself into his chest, hiding away from my mistakes.

"You didn't deserve any of it, I've been living with the guilt for so long." I cried and he pushed me away.

"And after you sleep with him, you have the audacity to come home and sleep in the same bed as me." he made sure to keep the distance between us.

"Suguru, I'm sorry." I let loose and let my emotions take over.

I felt small, insignificant and nothing to him. I had lost all power while he stood above me, and I was below him. Where I belonged.

"I THINK ITS TIME YOU MOVE OUT."
