BHSAF 170 Breakup

　And then the after-school moment that Yu had been waiting for.

　Because Takuya had soccer club practice, they decided to have the breakup talk after school, in the little time before club activities, in an unused area behind the school building. The usual empty classroom would have been suitable in terms of being a quiet place, but although it was the most suitable as it could be locked, it would have been difficult for Yu to hide and keep an eye on what was going on, so they decided to have it behind the school building.人気Hitoke

　After seeing off Takuya, who left the classroom to leave a message with the soccer club members from other classes that he would be a little late for club activities, Yu and Yui went ahead to the back of the school building.

"Hmmm... that's right... then I'll be behind here."

　Yuu looked around for a place to hide and decided to hide behind a tree with a trunk big enough for a person to hide in. There was a lot of weeds growing around, so unless he was playing hide-and-seek there was no way he would be found.

"yeah…………"

　Yui's voice was weak, perhaps because she felt guilty about turning down Takuya, or perhaps because she was nervous about being unfamiliar with the situation.

"It's okay, Yui-chan. Being dumped and being dumped is a normal thing to experience when you're in a relationship."

　Only a few people end up marrying the first person they date. So, naturally, you'll have to experience breaking up with your partner or being broken up with. It's certainly nerve-wracking, but I tell them there's nothing particularly strange or wrong about it.

"Hmm... I'm sorry, I really did get courage from Yu-kun..."

　Saying this, Yui slowly stroked the area where her stomach was.

"………………"

　I suppress the urge to attack her carelessly.

"Don't worry, Takuya will understand."

　Although he didn't mean it, he said it for Yui's sake.

　Yu thought that there would almost certainly be a dispute.

　In most cases, there are signs that a breakup is imminent: arguments, less conversation, not getting along, etc.

　The same thing was happening between Takuya and Yui. They were eating lunch together less, kissing less, and other physical interactions that are typical of lovers.

　However, even though Takuya is aware of this fact, he seems to think it's due to bad timing or some other reason. This is probably due to him wanting to avoid reality and not wanting to break up with Yui. ...In Takuya's case, it also seems like he's just insensitive.

"I hope so."

"Yeah. Well then, I'll be going into hiding for now."

　He couldn't let Takuya see him here. Yu looked around, made sure there was no one around, and then hid in the spot he had decided on earlier.

　A few minutes later.

"Hey."

　Takuya, who knows nothing about this, seems to think that Yui called him because she didn't want to stand out due to her position as an actress, even though it was common knowledge that the two were dating.

　Not even thinking that she would be rejected, she speaks in a happy voice as if she were about to have a tryst.

"I'm sorry, Takkun. I had club activities and I called you out here."

"It's fine. I don't mind if it's Yui calling."

　He smiled brightly like that. It was a refreshing smile that would make any of the girls in his class, except for Yui, feel their hearts skip a beat, even if they didn't have any feelings for him. But to Yui, who was completely infatuated with Yu and didn't have any interest in anyone else, he just looked like a rock lying around, in other words, a smile that everyone had.

　But even so, when he shows me how happy he is, I feel bad about rejecting him.

"So, what happened all of a sudden?"

"...Um, I have something to talk to Takkun about."

　But it's Yu, not Takuya, that Yui has feelings for. Yu had tried to stop her from doing so up until now, but that has now stopped. It's strange to continue dating someone you don't like, and on top of that, you feel bad for Yu, who you really do like.

"I see. What is it? ...Maybe it's an invitation for a date?"

"...No, it's not that... In fact, I think it's the opposite..."

　Yui gathers up her courage and begins to speak slowly.

(Do your best, Yui-chan...)

　I wish I could change for them, that's what Yu thought as he hid behind a tree and peeked at the two of them.

"Are you against it? ...I mean, something came up and you can't go on a date? No, but we haven't made any plans to go on a date."

"Hmm..."

　While getting annoyed with Takuya's lack of understanding, Yu supports Yui from behind the scenes.

"Well, you see, Takkun... calm down and listen to me, okay?"

"Hmm? Yeah."

"...Umm...Takkun. Let's...break up..."

"Eh...? Breaking up...??? Huh???????"

　Takuya hears what Yui has said and, although he understands it perfectly, is taken aback, not understanding why she would say such a thing.

"………………"

　And then a few seconds passed...

　Takuya said with a mixture of emotions on his face.

"...No, I don't want to break up."
