Episode 18: Epilogue – Awful
In the end, I took Cheena to the hospital right after that.
Sasaki seemed to be quite frightened by my threats.
He just sat there for a while.
“Did you s**t your pants? Do you need a towel?”
I vaguely remember Soji chasing him down.
I had avoided dealing with him in such an intimidating manner, as it might lead to friction later on, but I did not regret it.
At the hospital, they only gave her some ointment, but fortunately it was nothing serious.
Now we’re home and sitting next to each other on the bed in my bedroom.
“I’m sorry, Cheena. I’m sorry it turned out like this today.”
I opened my mouth.
It was very difficult to come up with the words, as the air had been very heavy since I entered this room.
But it had to come to me that…
I’m the one who got her involved in the jellyfish incident and other unnecessary conflicts.
I can’t forgive those antagonists, but it’s definitely my fault, too.
“I’m fine. The jellyfish was painful, but Yori took care of it. The fight was my fault, wasn’t it?”
Cheena smiled gently at me.
“Do you hate the ocean now?”
“No. No, I’m probably fine. It felt good, and I want to go again next year.”
It’s not uncommon for a child to get stung by a jellyfish and become uncomfortable with the ocean.
I was secretly worried about her, but she didn’t seem to be concerned and seemed to be fine.
Maybe Cheena was braver than she looks.
Suddenly, the hand I had on my lap was wrapped in warmth.
Surprised, I looked and saw Cheena holding my hand.
A girl as beautiful as Cheena is staring at me…
My heart unexpectedly jumped up and down.
“Hey, Yori.”
“…Wh-what’s the matter?”
Still, I managed to keep it out of my face and responded to Cheena when she spoke to me.
She looked bothered, as if she had something to ask.
“I want you to tell me…why Yori is hated by everyone…?”
She stammered a little, perhaps trying to muddle her words, but in the end she asked straightforwardly.
Yes, I hadn’t told her the details of my situation yet. Because I was scared.
I guess it’s been bothering her ever since she moved here.
She just knew that I didn’t want to tell her, somehow.
Still, after all this time, we couldn’t not ask or answer each other.
“This is going to be a bad story for you…”
Then, I started to talk.
Shiori hates me. She’s trying to ruin my reputation. This is due to the influence of my mother’s education.
She’s my sister, she had grown up being praised by our mother, and she couldn’t tolerate me unless she was inferior to me.
At first, I was struggling to deny it. However, when I was in junior high school, I gave up on that method.
Shiori was born with everything: her father’s intelligence, her mother’s good looks and athleticism. I, on the other hand, didn’t have any outstanding advantages.
It’s obvious which one people will believe.
“To be honest, I still don’t know why my mother hates me. I heard that she was originally a celebrity and retired when she got pregnant, so I think that might have something to do with it. My father never divorced her.”
“Is that so…?”
“There are things I’m thinking about to change my current situation. But it’s not about improving my relationship with my mother and sister. You’re going to be mad at me for this, aren’t you?”
Cheena is all alone now that all her relatives are gone.
She understands the importance of family best, and I’m sure she can’t …accept me being on the wrong side of the family.
After hearing what I had to say, Cheena showed a slight sign of thinking.
And after a few minutes of thought, she opened her mouth.
“I can’t forgive.”
I knew it …
It was something I knew, but it was hard to hear it said directly.
Now, Cheena’s trust in me is gone.
It was when I thought that,
“I can’t forgive… your mother. And your sister.”
“Eh?”
The words I hadn’t expected.
It was supposed to be me that Cheena couldn’t forgive.
She had been holding my hand with one hand, but now she was holding my hand with both hands.
There was no room for lies in her expression.
“I’m sure Yori kept thinking about his mom and dad. And Yori has a lot of good points that no one else can match. There’s no need to be friends with people who don’t understand that!”
“Shouldn’t you be angry at(me)…?”
I’ve never had anyone my age affirm me before..m
“How can I be angry?”
She’s very straightforward and believed in me.
“So, Yori, you need to be more confident.”
Such, such a sweet girl is looking at me.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
I turned my face away, not wanting to be seen, and I managed to hold back my sobs.
“Thank you.”
That was all I could say.
Then Cheena stood up quickly and opened her arms to me.
“I believe in you. I’m on your side. That’s why Yori.. Let’s say hello properly. ‘Thank you for your continued support’.”
“…Ah, that’s right.”
I can’t say no to this. There was no way I could refuse.
I wiped away my tears and stood in front of Cheena, looking her firmly in the eyes.
We both smiled naturally at each other.
As usual, Cheena started.
She pulls me close, rubs her cheek against mine, and plays a kissing sound in my ear.
Then it was my turn.
Strangely enough, I wasn’t nervous.
I place my hands on her shoulders and lower my head to let my left cheek touch her left cheek.
And,
Tsu!
I couldn’t get the…sound out.
Nevertheless, when I released her face, she gave me the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen.
“I’m sorry, I’m… not good at this.”
A/N: It’s a little short, but Chapter 1, complete… so thank you for reading.
Chapter two? Of course there is.
I’m planning to start a confrontation with Shiori soon.
Well then, I look forward to working with you in the future!
T/N: What I wanted to say ?
Well, Chapter 2 coming soon!
I just love how Iori said he’s not good at cheek kissing. Was it needed to have skills in that? Lol
