After Being Betrayed By My Beloved Childhood Friend and Best friend

V1 Chapter 2 | Sense of Discomfort

"Thanks for waiting. It's only February and it's crazy cold. I wanted to come over at the last minute."

"It's okay. It's what I like to do. It's really cold today, by the way. Let's go into the café first when we arrive and warm up."

As we pass through the ticket gates and stand on the platform, Hazuki is groaning "Ugh ......" and grabbing the collar of her dull pink coat and pulling it on. Honestly, my girlfriend is so cute. Hazuki is so dignified when she's with someone other than me that I'm sure the guys at school would be surprised to see her in such a vulnerable state.

By the way, there is a reason why Hazuki and I, who live next door to each other, went to the trouble of meeting in front of the station. It was to make our date special.

I once said, "Since we live next door to each other, why don't you just go together like you usually do?" but she said, "No, you can't. A date is special. If we go from our houses, it will be the same as usual."

Thinking back, we had always met in front of Hazuki's house to go to school since elementary school, so I agreed with Hazuki's words that I wanted to make our date feel special.

"Haaah... I'm back to life."

As soon as entering the café, Hazuki's face looks blissful and she screams in bliss.

"As usual Hazuki, you're not that good in the cold."

"I'm wearing a coat and stuff, so my body isn't as bad as it could be. But my face inevitably gets cold and sore."

As she says this, she is squeezing her cheeks with her own hands.

Seeing her like that, I naturally narrow my eyes, thinking how lucky I am to be able to monopolize such a lovely Hazuki.

"Do you have an agenda for what you're going to buy today?"

"Ummm. I don't have a particular brand of clothing that I want, but since it's spring, I'm hoping to find some pastel-colored light knits or lace skirts that I can wear."

"Hazuki is as fashionable as ever."

Hazuki probably became more fashionable in junior high school, as the clothes she wore gradually became more mature. Of course, since she was able to wear such clothes, Hazuki must have had the sense to know what fashions suited her.

"Because I want Yuuri to think I'm cute, you know?"

"Well, I always think Hazuki is cute."

"Ufufu. Thanks."

I was so thrilled by Hazuki's honest words, that I took a sip of my still-hot coffee and turned my eyes black and white.

I was thrilled by Hazuki's too-honest words, and I gulped down my still-hot coffee, my eyes black and white. While looking at me like that "Moou, Yuuri,", Hazuki was looking at me while smiling. "We've been together for a long time, but she always makes my heart beat faster." I felt a little frustrated while thinking that.

After the shopping was over, Hazuki and I went into an Italian restaurant, a popular place among many people, to have dinner.

Sitting in front of me was Hazuki, looking very happy and content. Apparently, she had found many of her favorites, and today's shopping trip had been a great success.

"Yuuri, maybe you should try wearing something a little more flashy."

"No, I don't look good in that kind of clothing."
