"I want to break up with you," was all my girlfriend, Suzuki Michi said to me. I looked up at her, away from the work I was doing. My stern and blank expression remained intact but on the inside, I had a different feeling in my heart. Miki was looking down at me with a sad expression on her face. She wasn't going to cry, but it seemed like an expression of regret ... "For a boyfriend, you really know how to neglect your girlfriend well ... Why .. Why did I fall for you in the first place?" she said. I couldn't find any words to say, as if I had lost my voice. "I think it's better if I stayed out of your life," was the last thing she said before leaving the room.
Well .. I should introduce myself first, right? My name is Inoo Kei, I'm twenty-two years-old. I'm a student in Meiji University, and my major is Architecture. My girl- ... Ex-girlfriend is Suzuki Miki. She's twenty-one years-old and she is also majoring in Architecture. Now back to reality, once after she left, I was feeling a mix of emotions in my head.
I was feeling a little bit happy since I could finally have more time to focus on my academic work without any distractions. My relationship was her was a bother to me, so I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Although, I felt guilty too. I mean, I had a duty as a boyfriend and I failed the role. Sure, I can admit that I really neglected her. I was too focused on my academics that I really forgotten that she was there at all.
Minutes and soon hours passed and I continued sitting there, doing nothing like an idiot. I couldn't find the will to continue in with my work so I just packed up my belongings and left the classroom. Soon enough, my two friends - Yabu Kota & Yaotome Hikaru - caught up to me. "Hey Inoochi," Kota said. "Hi Inoo-chan," Hikaru greeted as well. "Hi Yabucchi, HikarI," I said, emphasizing on the word "Hikari." "Oi! Didn't I tell you not to call me that!" Hikaru said. "That's what you get for calling me Inoo-CHAN," I emphasized. Soon, the three of us left the campus together and were walking around in the city. "Ne, Inoo, wanna go out for dinner with Hikaru and me?" Kota asked. "No thanks .. I'm not in the mood," I replied.
"WHY?" Hikaru whined. "I'm just not in the mood ... " I said to him. "Something happened! I know it! I can sense it! Tell me what happened!" Hikaru demanded. "Nothing happened," I lied. As if I was going to tell Hikaru and Kota. Sure, they were my closet friends but they didn't need to know about this. They shouldn't be involve in this. "Tell me!" Hikaru whined like a five year-old. "No!" I said as I started to walk away from the two. Hikaru continued to follow me, asking me what happened. Kota, on the other had, relunctantly followed Hikaru like a parent supervising their child. I soon reached the front of my home but Hikaru was still beside me, continuing to ask me what happened. "Just tell me what happened!" he demanded once more, getting on my nerves for the nth time.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW?! FINE!! MIKI BROKE UP WITH ME!"
I inhaled and exhaled as both Hikaru and Kota had shocked expressions on their faces. "She broke up with you .. " Kota said. I sighed, "Yes, she broke up with me. Now, I just need some time alone," I said to them before entering my house and closing the door shut. I find myself alone in my home: my parents were out on a business trip and my younger sister was staying with her friends. I was all alone in this big house. I sighed once more as I headed upstairs and into my room. Once arriving in my room, I dropped all of my stuff onto the floor as I laid down on my bed. Somehow, I found myself thinking about Miki.
For a boyfriend, you really know how to neglect your girlfriend well ... , that quote continued to echo in my mind. I'm sorry and guilty for neglecting a girl like her. I was just too focused in my work, I was glad that she was my girlfriend ... But I put my academics firsts instead of her. I'll regret it ... I felt my heart get heavier as I continued to sigh. This feeling ... I couldn't bear it.
Why .. Why did I fall for you in the first place?, the quote haunted me as mg heart ached. I cared about her as much as she cares about me. But I guess that I didn't really show it at all ... I couldn't bear with all of this anymore. I shut my eyes closed, hoping to block myself out of this horrible reality.
Two weeks have gone by since that day, I continued on with my life ... Still feeling the guilt and pain of not having Miki by my side. I remained in the classroom, rewriting some notes that I took during class when Hikaru came walking in. "Inoo~!" he called out as he soon made way to where I was sitting. "Hey Hikaru," I said, not facing him. "Ne~! Wanna go out for lunch with me and Takaki???" he asked me. "Sure, whatever," I said - still focusing on my notes. "Ne did you hear that Matsumoto is dating Suzuki-chan?" a classmate standing nearby mentioned to his friend. "Eh?" was all I could say before Hikaru freaked out and covered my ears. "Don't listen to them, Kei. It's just rumors!" he panicked. I then shoved Hikaru's hands away as I look at him. "Don't lie and say that they're 'rumors!' Just flat out say to me!" I said. "Fine, Miki and Kouhei are dating!" Hikaru said.
Of course I was shocked that Miki was dating Kouhei, my other close friend. I remember vividly that Kouhei said that he wasn't interested in dating shy, sensitive girls like Miki. And yet I chose to disregard the fact, Miki was dating Kouhei. I mean, she deserves to have a boyfriend like him right? He'll treat her and care for her better ... unlike me, who failed his role of being her boyfriend. "Inoo-chan?" Hikaru said as he waved his hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Huh? Yea?" I said. "You seriously want Miki-chan back, don't you?" he said. "Yea, but I mean she's dating Kouhei. He'll be better boyfriend to her," I said to him. Although, in my heart, I seriously wanted to take her back from Kouhei.
A few days later, I was walking to campus when ahead I saw Kouhei walking with a girl ... but it wasn't Miki. It was none other than Michishige Sayumi. They were all talking and smiling; sometimes, they would have the occasional kiss. I was utterly aghast. He was cheating on Miki. I was so tempted to tell her, but I didn't want her to be upset again. I mean, can I just let her have a little more happiness and peace? So I decided to ignored the fact for awhile, tell Miki when its the right time. The following day, it was already late in the afternoon and I was heading home. That is ... until I saw Miki in the hallway. She had her vision focused on something and she looked as if she was about to cry. She then shook her head and ran off.
I soon saw what she was looking at: Kouhai and Sayumi kissing - she finally found out. I soon started running after her, trying to catch up to her. "Miki! Miki!" I called out to her but she kept on running, but eventually I caught up to her - stopping her as I held onto her wrist. "Just let me go Inoo ... " she said. "No ... You saw what he was doing, didn't you? You don't deserve a guy like that ... " I said. "You're no better ... " she said. "But unlike him .... even if I don't show it ... " I said, "I care about you! I love you, Miki!" She then looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Don't lie to me .. " she said. I then pulled her closer to me, embracing her. 'I'm not lying Miki, I seriously do love you. I'm sorry for neglecting you .. " i said. I felt her hug me back, "Thank you for being here for me Kei .. " she said.
"Love you too."
