Chapter 662 A former friend



Chapter 662 A former friend

  The words that left her lips afterwards stunned him, and eventually, the girl fell asleep. He had to control his temper, but it didn\'t stop him from punching the wall. He left briefly to make a few phone calls and confirmed everything Sumire told him. 

  \'To think they treated her that way.\' It angered him more than he thought it would.

  After a thirty-minute phone conversation, Yuhi returned to the room only to find the girl painting. 

  \'I should have known; she isn\'t the type to sit still when she feels uneasy.\' Still, he watched her expression brighten as she continued to paint. Maybe it would do her some good rather than lay down and rest.

  He has to admit that he has been very overprotective of her ever since he learned of her pregnancy. Sumire is the same type as him; they both prefer to stay indoors rather than go outside. But maybe he is going overboard.

  His thoughts broke off when he heard the sound of a text message. Yuhi briefly opened it.

  Kei: I got her even though she is taken

  Yuhi sighed when he saw the image his friend attached. It was of a woman with short dark brunette-colored hair fast asleep, her bare shoulders exposed. There is no doubt that underneath those sheets, the woman is naked. 

  This photo\'s similar to the one Kei posted on his social media accounts when he slept with Makino. At first, he didn\'t think much of the posts since they didn\'t show her face. But, after seeing her face, he finally understood his friend is terrible.

  That guy has such a bad personality. Why does he have to chase after women who already have a partner?

  There was a time when he felt envious of this person. He felt envious that there was a guy like Kei around. Somebody who was filled with confidence and charisma. Kei had everything that he wanted, everything he lacked as a person. 

  But after finding his own strengths, he realized how stupid it was to compare himself. 

  Moreover, after learning how this man treats other women, he decides he is better off being gloomy and depressing than a man who treats a woman badly. 

  Yuhi proceeded to close his phone when he suddenly received a call.

  "Hey Yuhi, where are you?"

  Speak of the devil.

  "I\'m at home.

  "The house in the private ward, right? The view here is as great as ever!"

  "Wait, don\'t tell me you are here?" Yuhi questioned.

  "Yeah! I wanted to see my best friend." Kei replied enthusiastically.

  Yuhi sighed deeply, hearing those words. \'Best friend? What kind of best friend sleeps with my girlfriend.\'

  The girlfriend this one slept with was Miyazawa Makino. 

  \'I have already been cheated on twice.\' But the second one did not hurt as much as the first. Even though he probably liked Makino more than Touko. Touko\'s betrayal hurt him a lot more.

  Yuhi shook his head. There is no use thinking about the past now. First thing is. First, he needs to get rid of Kei.

  He opened the door, and Kei entered. "Hey, man."

  The smell of alcohol and his friend\'s appearance immediately caught his attention. Is he drunk? That\'s not good. Yuhi tried to push Kei away, but he had already gotten into the hallway.

  "Why are you being so cold? Is it because I didn\'t contact you the moment I returned? You know I have been busy-"

  Yuhi didn\'t pay attention to his friend\'s blabbering. Kei must have noticed since he frowned.

  "I\'m going to rest! Then you can tell me what your problem is."

  His eyes widened when he saw where his friend was heading.

  That\'s the place Sumire is resting. Before he could say a word, though, he heard the sound of the door opening. Sumire stood there with a shawl wrapped around her shoulders as she looked over.

  "Yuhi? Do we have a guest?"

  "What\'s this? You have a woman over--" Kei paused, seeing Sumire. "Wow, she is pretty. Hey, can I take this one too?"

  Yuhi had to hit him when he said those words. "Hands off my wife before I break your bones."

  Kei seemed surprised but suddenly laughed. "I don\'t see a ring."

  That is beside the point. Moreover, she does have a ring. But whenever they are home, Sumire worries about losing it, so she doesn\'t wear it much.

  He managed to usher his friend into the living room before turning to Sumire.

  "Sorry about that." Yuhi apologized. "I hope he didn\'t make you feel uncomfortable."

  "No." Sumire shook her head. "I haven\'t met any of your other friends before."

  "More like a former friend. He slept with my ex."

  "With Touko-san?"

  "No, Makino."

  \'It was during the time I planned to break up with her. So although I felt upset, it wasn\'t that bad. I was quite messed up then.\' For him, it didn\'t matter anymore.

  \'Oh, I got betrayed again.\'

  But who cared? He never expected anybody to genuinely love him. 

  "Yuhi?" Sumire called out to him. "Are you alright?"

  "He has a bad habit of stealing other women."

  Sumire blinked and laughed softly. "You\'re so silly."

  "I am?"

  "I already have the most handsome man in the world. So why do I have to look at another person?"

  "The most handsome, huh?"

  "Mmm." Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck. "You\'re handsome."

  \'I do like it when she compliments me.\' However, there are times when he becomes insecure that she only likes him for his appearance. Yuhi sighed in content when he felt her lips on his. She is getting better at kissing.

  What was it she mentioned before? She mentioned something about practicing on him when he is asleep. This girl is truly driving him crazy. If he remains around her, he will certainly lose his morals. The closer they get, the more it feels like- 

  Spying Kei watching them, he frowned and pulled Sumire away.

  He doesn\'t want anybody to hear her cute sounds whenever they kiss.

  It was almost like she understood since she nodded.

  "I\'ll lie down upstairs. Don\'t take too long."

  "Yeah."

  With those words, Yuhi watched Sumire leave. He honestly wanted to go with her, but his gaze fell on his friend holding up a bottle of wine. Yuhi sighed but quickly joined Kei in the living room.

  Now that he thought about it when was the last time he drank alcohol like this? When he first started dating Sumire, he still drank. But only in small quantities and mainly at Atushi\'s bar; he didn\'t drink elsewhere. There was that party, and even then, Sumire came and fetched him.

  Back then, he only went to that place because it felt like his emotions would explode; however, unlike before, he could no longer use drinking as a coping mechanism. The impact isn\'t the same as before; he realized that his pain would not vanish even if he became wasted.

  "That\'s Ibuki Sumire?"

  "So you knew?"

  Kei\'s lips curved to a smile. "I was testing you."

  This bad habit of his hasn\'t changed.
