"What do you mean by that?! You can't cancel the engagement! My daughter is pregnant!" The CEO of Shimizu Firm Industries, Yuriko's father, slammed his hands on the table.

Itsuki stared at the girl's stomach and was still trying to understand what was happening. Yuriko can't look straight at him but deep inside, he knows that he is not the father of the child she is carrying.

"Are you sure it is mine? I'm sure that nothing has happened between us ever since we've met." Itsuki said and this made her father madder.

"Are you telling me that my daughter got another man who will impregnate her?!" Itsuki looked at her father but didn't speak any further.

Since the first day they got together, he never touched her. Neither kissed or held hands. He is always keeping a distance between them. He only brings her to school and home. They didn't even exchange phone numbers.

"Itsuki, is it true that you never touched her?" Itsuki's father asked and he nodded his head. Right after that night with Hokuto, he received a message from his father that Yuriko and her father are there to confront him.

"I never touched her. I touched someone else but not her." Itsuki added and Yuriko clenched her fists while hugging her stomach.

Her stomach is noticeable already. It is impossible that he is the father of that child. They've only met more than a month ago and if they will have a checkup for her, it looks like she is already four months pregnant.

"Let's have a DNA test to make sure that the child she is carrying is my son's child." Itsuki's father said. Itsuki looked at him but he didn't see any disappointment in his eyes. His own father believes him, right?

Hokuto and his mother just got back to their original home when he received a message from an unknown number. He almost dropped his phone after reading the message.

"Hoku-chan?" Reika noticed this and she was surprised when her son suddenly slumped down on the floor.

"What's wrong, Hokuto?" She got his phone and read the message shown on the screen. She looked at her son and hugged him tightly.

"Nande?! Nande?!" He started to scream while crying hard. They just made love last night and now, he will learn that the girl is pregnant and he is the father of the child.

"It will be fine. You trust him, don't you? I saw last night how much he loves you. Trust him. I'm sure there is a reason why this is happening." She tried to comfort her son about it but the pain and confusion are taking him over.

She guided him to the couch and hugged him tightly once again. They heard the doorbell ringing and when she opened the door, Itsuki was there. She let him in, so that they could talk about it.

"Hokuto, it's not mine. Please, believe me. I never touched her. I didn't even kiss or hug her. Believe me, please." Itsuki hugged him tightly but he had no strength to push him away nor hug him back.

"Please leave me alone." He whispered while sobbing. Itsuki can't do anything but follow. Reika told him to come back tomorrow instead.

Hokuto was inside his room when it started to rain. It is almost dark now and he can clearly see how heavy the rain is. He got up from his bed and looked outside from the window. His eyes widened when he saw Itsuki standing outside and waiting for him.

"Hoku-chan, he doesn't want to leave." He heard his mother outside the room and tears fell down from his eyes again.

Why does it seem so hard to believe that Itsuki didn't do it, that he is not the father of that child? Maybe, it is because he received that text message from Yuriko. If it is from other people, he might believe Itsuki instead. He will believe it once there is solid evidence that it is not his child.

He saw his phone vibrate, so he picked it up from the bedside table and read the text message. It is Itsuki telling him that they should talk. He deleted the message and covered the windows with the curtains.

"Give him an umbrella, Okaa-san." He said when he opened the door of his room. Reika sighed and just followed her son's wishes.

She got two umbrellas, one for her and one for Itsuki. When she got out of the house, she noticed that Itsuki was already shivering because of the coldness of the rain. She wants to help both of them but she also doesn't want to meddle with her son's matters.

"You should go home for now or you will get sick. Hokuto doesn't want to see you for a while." Reika said and gave the umbrella to him but Itsuki didn't accept it.

"This is my punishment. I should have not hurt him." Itsuki said while looking down. The two looked at the door when it suddenly opened.

"Okaa-san, leave him alone if he doesn't want to accept the umbrella." Hokuto firmly said while glaring at Itsuki. Reika followed her son inside the house, leaving Itsuki alone under the rain.

Another hour had passed and Itsuki never left that spot. He is just looking at Hokuto's room window and waiting for him to talk to him. The rain is getting heavier and he started to sneeze.

He is hoping that Hokuto will go out again and talk to him and it didn't disappoint him. He saw the door open once more and Hokuto went out to shade him with the umbrella. He smiled faintly while staring at him.

"You didn't really do it, right?" Hokuto asked and he nodded his head. He turned his head to the side to sneeze.

"I didn't do it. I never touched her. You're the only one I can make love with. I never wanted anyone else. I only want you." He can't control his tears anymore and it fell down from his eyes already.

He is standing under the rain for some hours already and he is willing to stay there until dawn if Hokuto wants it. Hokuto stared at his eyes and noticed that he was crying. He slowly closed his eyes when he felt the warmth of Hokuto's palm on his cheek.

"Please, believe me." He murmured and with that, Hokuto dropped the umbrella and wrapped his arms around his nape, kissing his lips deeply.

He immediately wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back. He doesn't care anymore if he gets sick. As long as Hokuto believes in him, that's the only thing that matters.
