That is Suzuya san’s half. We’ll begin with just a little distance from the primary characters.

I personally needed him to be glad, so I write it from his POV

I divorced my spouse, and despite the fact that I do know it was the appropriate factor to do, I nonetheless really feel unhappy.

The enterprise I used to be engaged on on the time of the divorce has taken off, and at this time I used to be about to exit for a drink with the opposite consultant director and a vice chairman, i.e., a good friend.

Because it’s simply the 2 of us and we’re having drinks in non-public, I determine I can take it simple. I placed on a thick coat and went out.

☆

Once I entered the restaurant, I used to be led to a room within the again. It appeared that my good friend had already arrived.

“Kenichi, it’s not good to maintain a woman ready, you already know?”

“I’m sorry, it took me some time.”

She, Minami Hina, rotated from her seat on the decrease desk.

I’ve recognized her since highschool, and we’ve at all times stored the identical distance and environment. I belief her and most significantly, I’m comfy along with her.

Once I was feeling down about my divorce, she was there for me and inspired me, for which I’m grateful.

Though it’s a high-class restaurant for going out ingesting, it’s most likely factor contemplating it’s a launch occasion for the 2 presidents.

I used to be fascinated about this as I drank the sake and eat meals that had arrived.

“Hey, Kenichi.”

“Hm?”

Once I received just a little drunk and felt higher, she known as out to me and stopped me from ingesting my sake.

Once I checked out her, her face was just a little purple, as if she was as drunk as I used to be.

When she approached me, she didn’t say something for some time and gave the impression to be hesitating ultimately.

“……Properly, I’m simply gonna ask. Kenichi, are you interested by having a girlfriend proper now?”

“That’s out of the blue. ……I don’t know what to say. It’s not that I can’t belief ladies, however I’m afraid that they’ll cheat on me once more.”

“Hmm, I see. ……It’s not that I don’t have an opportunity.:

“Hm?”

“It’s nothing.”

It’s the primary time she’s talked to me about love, so I believe it’s uncommon. We’re nonetheless in our twenties, so it could be good to have at the least as soon as, however I’m positive now we have by no means talked about that earlier than.

Perhaps it occurred in highschool, however I didn’t bear in mind rather more.

It isn’t stunning that she had by no means talked about it, since she had by no means had a single flirtatious dialog with anybody regardless of her attractiveness.

“It’s uncommon so that you can ask me that, Hina.”

“Properly, I’m properly conscious of the truth that it’s too late to take again what you’ve misplaced.”

“……?”

“Don’t fear in the event you don’t know. You’ll determine it out.”

I tilt my head as I really feel that the dialog shouldn’t be in good concord. I believe each of us have been drunk and our brains weren’t working in addition to ordinary, so I finished fascinated about it deeply.

Since we’ve come up to now, I made a decision to take this chance to ask her the query I need to ask.

“Alternatively, do you want anybody? Somebody you’re all in favour of?”

“Hmm, I’ve. He doesn’t appear to pay attention to it in any respect.”

“Properly, what’s he like?”

“He’s the identical age as me at our firm. He’s variety, cool and good.”

I used to be shocked to listen to that Hina had a crush on somebody. And they’re in the identical firm. Hina shouldn’t be the kind to get entangled with staff, so I had no concept that there was somebody her age.

As I used to be fascinated about it, Hina gave me a puzzled look.

“You’re actually insensitive, aren’t you? You’ve been that approach for a very long time.”

“What?”

“Okay, that’s sufficient.”

“Are you able to inform me?”

“……”

I requested her why I used to be being so insensitive, however she wasn’t going to speak. Once I requested her, she turned away and wouldn’t even speak to me.

Apparently, she was each dumbfounded and offended on the identical time. I don’t know why she thought so.

After that, I drank along with her for some time after she was in a greater temper, and went house with gentle steps for the primary time in a very long time. I’m positive this was not as a result of I used to be drunk.

☆

A number of weeks later. Once I present up on the workplace, I’m approached by the supervisor, who’s a moderately good good friend of mine, as if he had been ready for me.

“Mr. President, I’d prefer to ask you just a few questions.”

“What’s it? Is one thing fallacious?”

“No, I’ve a private query…….”

“I see, okay. Let’s go.”

I’m going to the break room, ensure that there isn’t a one there, and begin speaking. The supervisor’s expression softened just a little, not like earlier than, and he started to speak.

“So, what’s occurring?”

“I’m actually sorry, however what sort of girl is your kind, Mr. President?”

“Eh?”

“Properly, there are fairly just a few feminine staff who’re making an attempt to attraction to you since they know you might be divorced.

So that they requested me to hearken to them after they came upon that I used to be shut with the president.”

“Oh, I see……”

I had no concept that the divorce story had unfold and that individuals have been out to get me. I didn’t suppose there have been that many individuals who knew about me as a result of I don’t normally present up that usually.

I’m reluctant to be in a relationship proper now, and didn’t know what to say. All I may consider was a obscure picture.

“Somebody who wouldn’t cheat on me, or moderately, somebody who wouldn’t be simply dazzled…… I’m sorry, I don’t actually know.”

“No, I’m sorry to ask at a time like this.”

[…….]

The environment grew to become awkward, and I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I made a decision to vary the topic.

“The opposite day, once I had a drink with Hina, she advised me that the man she likes is a man in the identical firm, identical age, variety and funky.”

“Huh, I don’t have any concept what which means……”

“I’m positive you could have. Who’s he?”

“Properly, I don’t know if I’m allowed to let you know this.”

“Yeah, I’m curious. I’d be glad to know.”

Once I stated that, the supervisor began to go searching despite the fact that nobody was there. He regarded as if he have been a small animal looking out for enemies, or moderately, he regarded frightened.

As if decided, the supervisor faucets his chest just a few instances and appears me straight in my eye.

“Mr. President, no, Suzuya san. I believe Vice President Minami likes you.”

“…..Eh?”

“The one particular person on this firm who is identical age because the vice chairman and has face is Suzuya san. There could also be others that I simply don’t know, however the vice chairman not often involves the workplace. I believe she is at all times with you, Suzuya san.”

“No, however……”

“It’s not a however. I’m positive it’s simply Suzuya san being insensitive.”

The sturdy eyes of the supervisor stared at me, and I used to be speechless. I didn’t anticipate him to say that a lot, and I couldn’t imagine that Hina would possibly like me.

I Wanted a while to consider it, so I thanked the supervisor and let him go. As he makes his option to the exit of the break room, his actions all of a sudden freeze. As I puzzled if one thing had occurred, Hina got here in to exchange the supervisor who was leaving, and I involuntarily regarded down.

“It appears you have been having time speaking with out me.”

‘No, I mean-…..”

“I heard the entire thing.”

“From the place…..?”

“From in regards to the time Kenichi advised me what his kind was?”

It appeared she was listening to me fairly a bit. From the start.

I regarded up from my gaze on the ground and noticed that for some purpose Hina’s cheeks have been just a little purple. I’m wondering if she was embarrassed by the truth that I advised her she likes somebody. If that’s the case, I’m sorry.

I used to be at a loss to say something, and as I regarded from one aspect to the opposite, despite the fact that nobody was round, Hina spoke up.

“I’ll by no means cheat on you and I’ll by no means be dazzled by anybody aside from you, Kenichi.”

“….Eh?”

“Am I not adequate for you, Kenichi? I’ve been in love with Kenichi ever since we have been in highschool. You have been particular to me , Kenichi. Can’t I be particular to you……?”

I used to be advised this by a Hina with moist eyes who regarded like she was about to cry at any second. Hina is getting nearer and nearer, and I lastly have nowhere to run.

“Kenichi……please reply me. If you wish to shake it off, that’s positive. I’m in love with you. In the event you do, please launch me from this curse as quickly as doable.”

Tears have been falling from Hina’s eyes.

“Does it should be now? I’ll give it some thought some extra.”

“No. Reply me right here and now.”

“Erm……..”

I closed my eyes and thought again to what I’ve been via.

I believe again to once I was in highschool. We began speaking as a result of we have been kindred spirits, and every single day we talked about many issues till simply earlier than the library was open.

Round faculty. Once I advised her I had fallen in love at first sight, she regarded down at me just a little and stated, [Good luck].

Once I advised her I used to be getting married, she once more regarded me within the eye and stated, [Congratulations].

Once I advised her I used to be getting divorced, she twisted her face and comforted me by muttering, [I’m sorry you’ve been through so much].

It was Hina who had been there for me all this time. I had carried out many horrible issues with out realizing how she felt, however was I actually certified to be in a relationship along with her?

I contemplated for some time. After some time, I opened my eyes. Hina had made up her thoughts, her tears had stopped and he or she was trying straight into my eyes.

“Hina, I didn’t understand your emotions, and I stated and did one thing that damage you. I didn’t know if I used to be certified to be by your aspect. However I’m going to be trustworthy with you. ……Hina.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t discover despite the fact that you have been by my aspect the entire time. Will you continue to exit with me now?”

“In fact !”

Hina hugged me as quickly as she heard my reply, and I gently wrapped her in a hug. I may really feel her heat.

Hina appears up and sees me and provides me a light-weight kiss, only a contact of her lips on mine.

“Ahaha, it’s my first kiss.”

“I like you, Hina.”

“……Yeah, me too. I like you.”

When Hina stated so, she cried and smiled broadly. I swore to her that I might not make a mistake this time.

A yr later, they’d a giant marriage ceremony ceremony. Each the bride and groom had huge smiles on their faces.
