The Brothel [Draken - Tokyo Revengers]

Chapter 34: Dejected and Angry

Chapter 34:

I'd be lying if I said things got better because they didn't. Draken has been ignoring my calls and has basically banned me from his shop, Sakura and her husband has been tormenting me every single day and I couldn't do anything about it. 

I haven't been eating well either and it's seriously starting to take its toll on me, I keep vomiting with whatever I eat, I even puked out blood sometimes. My stomach started rejecting anything I consume whether it was solid or liquid, the best I could live off of is water,

I did schedule an appointment with the doctor after work tomorrow, I do hope nothing major is wrong with me, I have too much on my plate right now and I don't want my health to be added to the list,

I already feel shitty as it is like I have never felt so insignificant before, I felt even worse now than I was in middle school. 

How did it turn out like this? Things were going so well at one point, so how did I end up in this situation? 

I felt my phone vibrate so I pulled it out of my pocket to check the notification and to my surprise, it was from Mitsuya. We haven't really spoken to each other since we had coffee about 2 weeks ago, he must be busy with his latest commission, I heard he's working on a wedding dress for a famous influencer,

'Mikey is back'

It's that time of the year already? I must have lost track. I haven't seen Mikey in years but I heard he comes home every year for Emma's death anniversary. I heard his restaurant is doing really well and he's barely in contact with anyone but he still talks to Draken and Baji every now and then,

"I should pay Emma a visit, I haven't been to the cemetery in so long," I mumbled to myself as I was about to reply to Mitsuya if he wanted to come along. Who knows, I might bump into Draken there,

"Before we begin with today's meeting, Kazehaya-sensei, may I have a word with you?" The vice principal said as he gestured for me to meet him in his office. I placed my phone back in my pocket and did what I was told,

...

I tried calling Mitsuya when I was on the way to the cemetery but he wasn't picking up. He must be talking to a client or something so I decided not to pester him into coming with me,

I was just going to pay Emma a short visit anyway,

I stopped by a flower shop on the way and picked up some flowers for Emma, I wasn't sure what to get since I never really knew what her favorite flowers were but I decided to get a mix of white daisies and white lilies.

"I wonder if Draken has ever gotten her flowers?" I asked myself as I was admiring the beautiful bouquet in my hands, "He's only gotten me flowers once during my graduation that he missed," I continued to mumble as I recall the bittersweet memory I had with Draken, "He said he'll make it up to me but it's been years since then," 

When Draken and Emma were together, he would always take her out even if there was no occasion but he missed every important event in my life,

He missed every important occasion of mine for Emma,

I could feel anger building up inside of me and I was starting to have second thoughts on whether I should still visit Emma but I was a block away from the cemetery, no point in backing out now.

I headed towards the Sano family grave and placed the bouquet down in front of the gravestone, 

"It's been a while," I started off as I sat down on the floor and lit some incense  for Emma and Shinichiro, "I haven't talked to Draken in a while, we kind of had a bit of a falling out,"
