Cracking The Emperor's Code [Akashi X Reader]

chapter 24 [realization]

By the time I went home, I was a crying mess. It's a good thing that no one was there to witness it.

Why..?

Why must this happen?

He didn't even give me a chance to explain it. He just cut me off every time I tried to talk.

Why....?

Why do they have enough care for us to actually send it to him? How did they even knew our relationship to send this to him? What did I do to make them take such picture at such angle to make us appear to be kissing and send it to him?

Who sent this to him?

Whoever she or he was, they are..

So..

So..

Cruel.

Why would they do such thing?

I sat up from the bed that I was previously laying on and sighed.

I need to resolve this, I can't just let the misunderstanding run around like that. He needs to know what really happen.

I grabbed my phone and tried calling him, but to no prevail, there's no answer.

What do I expect?

Of course, he'll avoid me. I'll avoid someone who I thought was cheating on me with another girl, but the thing is, I did not.

I grabbed a pillow and buried my face unto it. I can't take it.

It's all Himuro's fault.

No, no. I can't say that. I can't just place the blame on others. Himuro was kind enough to ask me on a hangout. He even treated me ice cream. I'm sure he didn't have any bad intentions.

But..why must he wipe the ice cream off my face and lick it?

No! Stop! Don't place blame on others! It's Seijurou's and my business! Himuro was not part of this.

No..he was a part of it.

I sighed once again and looked up from the pillow.

What can I do now?

Seijurou's avoiding me.

I can't talk about this with my parents... they'll be furious. Either it's by the fact that I went out with a GUY friend or I actually made Seijurou's mad.

I would call my private teacher, Ms. Wang for comfort but, I don't want to bother her. She's already as busy as it is.

All that's left was Himuro.

Should I call him?

I mean...he's part of the mess, so he should at least be responsible with it.

No...but...he's innocent. He did not know that I'll be engaging with Seijurou that time.

.

I ended up calling him anyway, not to let him know that he need to take responsible for this matter or anything, but more of so for comfort.

He's the only person I knew who's a friend and had their phone number.

Not long after, he picked up.

"Hey!" The person on the other line said. "I'm surprised that you actually called me first." He chuckled.

I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing seems to. I don't know what to say to him. Why did I call him?

"Hello?"

"..."

"...is everything okay?" Himuro asked questionably. "You're...sniffling.."
