Chapter 126 There’s No Way She Could Understand
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
When Akane heard that Haruto had been suspended, she was completely shocked.
She had gotten the details from one of Haruto’s groupmates that day.
They said he had panicked, mistaking someone for Harue-san.
(Hmm… That doesn’t sound like Haruto at all…)
Ding-dong.
”Haruto, I’m coming in, okay?”
Click.
”You haven’t eaten again… have you?”
”…I’m sorry.”
For days now, Akane had been visiting Haruto’s apartment to cook.
But no matter what she made, he wouldn’t eat a bite.
”You need to eat something. Even just a little.”
”…Yeah.”
Her hospital training and daily reports were already hard enough,
but dropping by to cook was all she could manage.
Still, tomorrow was her day off.
So tonight, she had made up her mind—she would stay over and make sure he ate.
”I’m staying the night, okay?”
”…Akane.”
”Hmm? What is it?”
”…Let’s break up.”
”……”
”I’ve been lying to you this whole time.”
She couldn’t answer.
Break up? Lying?
What was he even talking about?
”…What do you mean?”
”You might not believe me, but… I remember my past life.”
When he finally spoke, what came out made even less sense.
A past life?
Haruto kept talking, trying to explain.
But inside, Akane’s thoughts were all tangled.
She couldn’t understand any of it.
”You’re disappointed, aren’t you? It would’ve been enough just to touch, but… I gave you a full massage.”
”I don’t understand this sudden talk about past lives and special powers…”
That was all she could say.
Then Haruto suddenly stood, walked into the kitchen, and pressed a knife against his arm.
”H-Haruto! Stop!!”
Drip. Drip.
She had seen blood before during training.
But seeing someone she cared about get hurt—
that pain shot straight through her heart.
”What are you doing?!”
”Just watch.”
”…Wait—what!?”
The cut was deep.
So deep she had almost rushed him to the hospital to get stitches.
There was no doubt it had been real—
just a moment ago.
”I didn’t lie to you only about my power…”
”……”
Haruto had always seemed a little mysterious.
So maybe, it wasn’t too strange that he really did have some kind of power.
Now that she had seen it with her own eyes,
she thought she believed it.
But even so—
She couldn’t accept it.
Why did he want to break up?
”It’s not just the power. That’s not the only thing I’ve been hiding.”
”……”
”When I got those memories back, I was just a newborn. But my mind… it wasn’t like a baby’s.”
So even as a newborn,
his thoughts had already been grown-up?
Then that would mean…
That he had looked at Harue-san—
and even her own mother—the way an adult man would.
Why was her mother even part of this?
If Haruto’s mind was already grown from birth,
did that mean he had feelings for Harue-san?
And even for her mom?
”It’s not really a second personality. I don’t know what it is, honestly.”
”…So you didn’t like me?”
”I did. I do like Akane. That’s why I confessed. In my past life, I loved Mom. I loved Yui. But now… I love you. Does that make sense?”
”…There’s no way I’d understand.”
”…You’re right. Sorry.”
She tried so hard to understand.
He had said so many things.
She had thought and thought.
But in the end, there was only one thing she truly understood.
He wanted to break up.
That part…
That part was too easy to understand.
Drip. Drip.
Once it sank in, her tears came fast.
She should’ve been thinking about more—
about everything he’d said.
But her head was blank.
Before she knew it, she was back in her apartment.
She must have cried the whole way.
She looked like a mess…
”Haruto… I wonder if he’s eaten anything…”
The thought hit her from nowhere.
She pulled out her phone.
She’d ask Harue-san to check on him.
Because now—
She wasn’t Haruto’s girlfriend anymore.
