Unnoticed Gem

Chapter 7: Secret Revealed Part 2

Aoi's POV

When I woke up. I feel so much better and It seems like Haru stays with me till morning. He's sleeping in a chair. Poor Haru!

I woke him up by startling him so that he would wake up immediately.

He was very upset with me because of what I did.

I didn't care about it though because he stayed with me all night just to make sure I was fine. He's cute.

Am I starting to like him? Just because of his act of kindness?

I really need to find a place to move before I catches real feelings for him. I don't want to get hurt again.

Haru's POV

Aoi woke me up by startling me.

I am so upset but also very relieved that she's fine now.

I don't know why I'm so worried about her.

Maybe Hikari is right. Maybe I do like Aoi but I just didn't want to admit it to myself.

This is not right. This is not me at all.

Junya's POV

Yesterday! While I was at Aoi and Haru's Apartment.

My Girlfriend Gumi suddenly went to my Part time Job. We met when I returned home. She was angry with me. She didn't talk to me for the rest of that day.

I know it's all my fault because I didn't tell her that I was going somewhere for a while.

It's the first mistake I did since we've been together.

So both of us don't know how to fix this misunderstanding immediately.

I tried to talk to her anyways.

Junya: Gumi! Please talk to me!

Gumi:....

Junya: I know I should have told you right away where I was yesterday or where I went. The problem is, you don't need to know where I really was yesterday because you might think I'm crazy.

Gumi:.....

Junya: Maybe you'll only talk to me when I tell you the truth. But, the truth will only hurt you so, I don't want to tell you and I also don't want to see you cry.

Gumi: Why don't you try and tell me then? I also deserves the truth.

Junya: You finally spoke. Finally!!

Gumi: Don't be too excited Junya! We don't know yet if I will be happy with what you say or angry like you suspected.

Junya: I am satisfied with my suspicion. Because I was with someone you didn't like even when you too were in elementary school.

Gumi: What? There's only one person whom I didn't like since elementary. Are you with Aoi??

Junya: Yes I am! I'm so sorry Gumi! I really want to tell you but I know you will react very bad so I decided not too.

Gumi: So you prioritized that girl instead of me. How dare you Junya!

Junya: You are wrong about that Gumi! Aoi just really needs my help. She's very sick yesterday.

Gumi: You took care of her?

Junya: Not really! Her friend just decided to call me since Aoi save my number in her phone as "Bestfriend Junya". Aoi's friend asked me if I could buy medicine for Aoi because she didn't want to leave Aoi alone at home because she said Aoi's Fever is very high fever.

Gumi: Why did you think of helping them immediately? You should have refused.

Junya: I'm so sorry Gumi but, I'm not a bad person to refuse to help others.

Gumi: I know that well but, you still shouldn't have done it though just because someone asked you to.

Junya: Stop it Gumi! You know how much I love helping people who needs it.

Gumi: Why it has to be Aoi though? There is other people out there that needed your help more than Aoi did.

Junya: Well everything just happened very quickly. I can tell you how we met again if you want. So it is more clear for you.

Gumi: Tell me then! How did you met her again?

Junya: We saw each other by accident at my part time job one day. At that time. She really has nothing. She ran away from her home because she really didn't want to be there anymore. She said that her Mom and Dad are very toxic. Except her sister. At first she thought that her sister was also angry with her, but it turned out not to be. Her sister lives in Kyoto now with her boyfriend. She said it looks like her sister is already pregnant. She is so happy for both of them.

Gumi: So, she doesn't really need your help. Since she's the one who run away from them.

Junya: What the heck are you talking about Gumi! She only left because her parents is torturing her with words.

Gumi: Who cares about all about that Junya! You need to only care about ME!!! And not that girl who destroy her own life.

Junya: Don't be so selfish GUMI! Just because you have a good life that doesn't mean I will not care to other people's life.

Gumi: Are you hearing yourself Junya?? Your literally defending that girl.

Junya: Defending her for what? And that girl has a name Gumi! Her name is AOI! Also, please tell me the real reason why you are so mad at her. Because, it's better if you tell me so I can understand why you hated her so much.

Gumi: I will only tell you if you promise me not to see her again.

Junya: I can't do that Gumi!

Gumi: WHY??

Junya: We work together in my Part Time Job. But only sometimes since she's mostly very busy at her actual job.

Gumi: What? Why? Did she work at your part time job because your there?

Junya: No! I'm the one who recruited her. Because she needs extra money for her apartment rent. Since the money she had might not be enough.

Gumi: About her actual job? What is it?

Junya: She's a writer of some sort (Don't wanna tell Gumi what Aoi is actually writing about)

I told Dan to give her a job. He agreed. Since, the other company makes her very upset.

It's the Fujiwara Corp. I don't want to tell you the real reason why Aoi got so upset with the Fujiwara Corp because I know you will just laugh at her.

Gumi: Finally i found the only thing I wanna know about her.

Junya: Oh... So your only interested in her downfall.

Gumi: Why not? Her downfall equals my own Happiness.

I slapped Gumi because of what she just said. I didn't think she could say that to me.

I was very disappointed at her.

She stop talking to me again because of what I just did to her. Even though it's necessary for her to grow as a person.

I know that I treated Gumi very bad today.

It's normal for her to be angry with me because I value Aoi more than her.

I was the wrong one and not her. I guess I really don't like her much.

I'm literally only pretending to be happy with her just because Dan will kill me if I don't behave like what he wants me to.

If only Dan have some guts to leave his horrible Fiance and just be with Gumi again. Since I know that's what he really wants.

I might be happy now if I didn't pretend to like Gumi before just only because I felt really bad for her when her and Dan broke up.

Maybe if I hadn't met Gumi. I have a happy and very fulfilled life with someone whom I love and who also loves me for who I really am.

Maybe I can learn to love Gumi without Aoi in my life.

But, I don't think I would want to forget about Aoi even the slightest. She's very special to me. There is no way I would allow that to happen.

I feel so sorry for Gumi but this is the truth about what I really felt about her.

Gumi deserves a man that will love her wholeheartedly like Dan.

Even if I don't really like Gumi I still want her happiness. I know she still likes Dan.

I really wonder if Aoi is still sick though. I hope she's fine now.

I also hope that, that guy Haru is not doing anything weird to her.

Because I will never forgive myself if something bad happens just because she lives with a guy she just recently met.

I know he's Gay but he is still a guy and can still become a lion if he wants to.

*At Fujiwara House*

Gigi's POV

It's been two months since I became Daiji's Fake Fiance.

He's one of my former classmate from Elementary till College.

I like him ever since we were in Elementary School. he said he also liked me at that time. But, something changed now that we became adults.

I think he likes someone else now. He accepted me as his Fake Fiance because he had no other choice.

I'm really worried about him.

He should be true to himself more.

*At our Room*

Daiji: Starting tomorrow. We were going to live in the Apartment Complex that my family also owns which is called Fujiwara Homes. We're going to stay in the largest room at the top of the Apartment Complex.

Gigi: OMG! Really??

Daiji: Yeah! You should pack your things immediately.

Gigi: Sure!! If you say so. By the way.... why did you immediately think that we should move? We're not even "Married" yet.

Daiji: It's what my parents wants. They want us to start living together on our own to get both of us ready when we finally get "Married". They basically mean we need to do what lovers really do when they are together.

Gigi: No freaking way!! That's not possible!

Daiji: I'm just kidding! That will never happen to us. We don't really like each other. This is basically just for my future career and for your families sake.

Gigi: What if I told you that I still love you to this day? What will be your reaction?

Daiji: I will reject you but I will respect your feelings for me. I will also stop our Fake Engagement Contract to each other and move on in my life without you.

Gigi: Well! That's too bad. I kind of wanna stay with you for a very long time. Longer than what is written in our contract

Daiji: if I fall in love with you before our fake contract ends, Our contract will be completely real. But that must happen naturally and should not be forced by anyone.

Gigi: Do not worry. I can guarantee you that everything will be natural.

Daiji: I really hope your not lying to me.

Gigi: How could i?

Daiji: Stop smirking Gigi. We both know how good you are at lying.

Gigi: Aren't we both lying though? Lying to ourselves and to others around us.

Daiji: Our relationship is Fake but that doesn't mean we're going to lie everytime. We're only going to lie when it's is necessary to do so.

Gigi: I don't care! We still mostly lie. I don't really like it.

Daiji: So do you want to cut our Fake Engagement off? It will be up to you. If your tired of lying with me.

Gigi: Not tired at all. I think you are though.

Daiji: What do you mean?

Gigi: Nothing!! I'm gonna pack my things now.

Daiji: Ok then!

I started sorting out all my things after talking to Daiji.

I really want to ask him if he regrets choosing me because it seems like his spacing out a lot this days.

His literally not himself. His parents sees it too. They keep asking me if his ok. I always tell them his just a little stressed from his work.

They believed me since they really trust me. They will be so devastated when things go wrong just because of Daiji and I's Fake Engagement.

I really need to protect our secret no matter what. So that, I can stay with Daiji for a little bit longer and not hurt his parents accidentally when our contract is suddenly cancelled because they found out our secret.

Only time will tell I guess.

To be continued...
