( โฆโฆOh man )
I didn’t say it out loud, but inside I was totally freaked out. It was absolutely brutal. Names were even mentioned. And it was all so irresponsible, like they were just having fun with it.
Suddenly, my phone screen went dark and I felt weight on my back.
โWhat are you looking at?โ
Fujiwara peered over my shoulder at my phone.
โWhoa, this?โ
He seemed to grasp the situation instantly and sighed.
โLook, this won’t end until either the culprit comes forward, the victim names them, or it turns out to be a fake post, right?โ
โYeahโฆโ
I’m the victim, though.
I swallowed the words that had risen to the back of my throat.
For now, it’s still just a โrumor.โ But the worst part is that the names are getting narrowed down. Two people who have nothing to do with this are getting dragged into it. If those two get bulliedโฆ I absolutely can’t let that happen.
โMaybe I should post something.โ
I muttered quietly and opened the input field on the bulletin board.
ใThe victim isโใ
Just as I typed that far.
Buzz, a notification slid onto the top of the screen.
Yuma’s Beloved Wife
ใIt’ll just make things noisier if you come forward now, so you shouldn’tใ
โโฆHuh?โ
A voice slipped out before I could stop it, and I snapped my head up.
Towards the front of the classroom. The window seat.
Haru was looking this way.
And then.
She smiled brightlyโand winked.
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
Too much information.
First off, that wink was just plain cute. Seriously cute. But now’s not the time for that.
Next.
Why is her contact name showing up as โYuma’s Beloved Wifeโ?? ?
We’re not married???
I haven’t even proposed???
Like, we’re still in high school???
When did she change it!?
โฆOh, right. Was it yesterday? When she insisted on staying over even though it was a weekday, saying โToday’s a day I want to be with youโ?
Yeah, it was cute. Super cute.
But that’s not the point.
The last part.
How did she know I was about to post something right now???
I’m at the back of the classroom. Haru’s up front. We’re pretty far apart, right???
Psychic???
As I froze, another notification popped up.

ใIt’s written all over your face. You look like you’re thinking, โI have to do something about this.โใ
โฆScary.
Yuma’s Beloved Wife
ใBut you know, that’s kindness, but right now it’s counterproductiveใ
ใIt’s okay. At least I understand perfectlyใ
Deep inside my chest, it feels just a little lighter. I thought I was carrying this alone, but apparently, someone’s been standing right beside me all along. Haru, sitting in front, opening her notebook with a perfectly normal expression. But under the desk, she’s holding her phone toward me and shaking it slightly.
With a look that says, โLeave it to me.โ
โฆI don’t know if she’s reliable or scary.
At least for now.
It seems like it’s better not to โstep forward.โ
side Ayase Haru
(No, Yuma-kun)
If you step forward now, everything will surely turn towards you all at once. The curious stares, the irresponsible words, the half-amused malice.
I absolutely don’t want you to endure that.
Besidesโit’s not over yet. Not since that day. For two years, bit by bit, carefully, I’ve been preparing.
It’s not an impulse.
It’s not a whim.
I’ve poured everything I’ve had into this momentโall the weight, the persistence, the feeling that’s sunk deep in my chest, just like my feelings for Yuma-kun.
It’s easy to see. I’ve watched him do it over and over, whether I wanted to or not. The only thing he never imagines is being the one who gets hurt.
What would happen to you if everything you believed in wasn’t something you built yourself, but a relationship built on lies by others?
It’d be the same as when he spent six years sitting next to Yuma-kun, acting like nothing was wrong.
He can handle it, right?
Becauseโฆ he did it.
Come to think of it, it’s about time that trash’s sister, that womanโฆ
โฆgets punished for constantly mocking Yuma-kun and trying to force me together with that trashโ
Ahem
No.
Let’s make him take responsibility for not thinking about the crime he committed back then, and especially for saying about the victim, Yuuma, “There’s no need to get involved with someone like that.”
There’s no need to get involved with trash like you.
