Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"You can each have a drink," Jun Matsue said, sitting down diagonally across from the two of them.

"I've already had coffee this morning, so I can have yours later."

Even though the girls had already chosen their seats, as soon as the boys sat down, they quickly moved closer, keeping a distance that was within arm's reach.

So what do you want to say?

Tomatsu Yuka looked down and took out two bento boxes from her bag, placing the heavier one in front of the boy without glancing at her opponent.

"Could you finish speaking first? I don't want Tsunkun's lunch break to be disturbed."

"That might be a little difficult," Mochizuki Haruka said slowly, unpacking the sandwich she had just bought downstairs.

Jun Matsue sighed, placed two cups of hot cocoa in front of the girls, and finally opened the lunchbox that had been placed on his lap.

"In short, eating is the most important thing. The coffee shop will remain open this afternoon. What we need is not to argue, but to have a proper discussion, okay?"

Hearing a soft hum from the other side, Tomatsu Yuka, who had picked up her chopsticks, remained silent.

She took two seaweed shrimp crackers from her own lunchbox and put them into the boy's box.

It seems that the days of having Tsun-kun all to myself are finally coming to an end.

From the moment the cold-faced Mochizuki Haruka suddenly insisted on shopping with them, the girl had already foreseen this day.

"This time, the shrimp cakes have extra seaweed flakes added, Jun-kun should like them."

She spoke casually, while Jun Matsue took a big bite of the shrimp cake, and Yuka Tomatsu smiled with satisfaction.

Mochizuki Haruka chewed on her sandwich, took a sip of her hot cocoa, and then placed her hand, which was resting on the boy's crossed legs.

"So you're ready to share the pine branches?"

Tomatsu Yuka's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. She put a small clump of rice from the tip of the chopsticks into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then spoke.

"You shouldn't ask me this question; you should ask yourself."

"It is indeed a bit hard to accept." The girl gave a cold laugh.

“Before, I only had to tilt my chin up, and Songzhi would feed me—but now I have to watch you sit next to him and eat with me…”

“I can feed you now.” Jun Matsueda looked up and tried to take the sandwich from her hand.

Mochizuki Haruka glared at him, signaling him not to interrupt, and the boy withdrew his hand.

"I did not mean to force you to accept each other."

Jun Matsue put down his chopsticks and looked at the gray sky outside the rooftop railing.

"Of course, I did disregard your feelings and wishes excessively, and that was my fault."

"But in order for you to accept my philandering ways, I can only think of doing this, besides deception and even worse methods."

The boy took a breath. "You can criticize and punish me however you want later regarding my greed and indifference."

"As long as you can tolerate my philandering ways, that's fine."

“I know you don’t like each other.” He looked around.

"That's okay, as long as you like me."

The girls turned to look at him in unison, their eyes filled with similar reproach and resentment.

“I’m serious.” Jun Matsue straightened up and placed his hands on the backs of their hands.

"If you don't like eating together like this, then let's eat separately."

"Even if you plan to never see each other again, that's fine. After all, you love me, and I have no reason or right to make you like or accept each other."

"Never see each other again, and then split your time equally?" Mochizuki Haruka asked, frowning.

The boy nodded. "If we really can't stand each other, then that's the only way—I'll try to make time for each other as much as possible."

"It might not even be split equally~" Tomatsu Tomohana added.

The girl, who was frowning, became increasingly displeased. She pulled her small hand out from under the boy's hand and pinched his thigh hard.

Jun Matsue lowered his head and continued eating his lunch.

Mochizuki Haruka let go of the boy's hand, glared fiercely at his thigh, and then took a big bite out of the sandwich.

“Let’s not talk about things that are too far away.” She then looked at the girl on the other side. “So you’re really willing to accept this, and you’re ready, right?”

"..." Tomatsu Yuka leaned slightly to the side and rested on the boy's shoulder.

"As I said, I will not oppose Junkun's ideas, and I am willing to try to do so."

"Even if he did something wrong?" Mochizuki Haruka asked bluntly.

The girl on the other side looked at the bento box in front of her, and this time her smile was gentle and sincere.

“Unlike us, Tsunkun is a truly good child. He is much more rational and gentle than I am.”

“If Jun-kun did something wrong, he would definitely know it himself.”

“The mistakes I made were far more serious and egregious than those of Jun-kun, yet he still chose to forgive me in the end.”

“Tsun-kun still loves me and is still so good to me, so what reason do I have not to forgive him?”

Clutching the sandwich in her hand, Mochizuki Haruka remained silent for a moment before nudging the boy's arm with her shoulder.

"I'm thirsty."

Jun Matsue naturally picked up a hot cocoa and brought it to her lips. The girl lowered her head, put the straw in her mouth, and swallowed the warm, rich chocolate.

Pine branches are certainly good.

Even now, despite his philandering ways, he still haunts her dreams and remains a constant presence in her heart.

Otherwise, why would she inflict such sweet torment on him? And why would she be so aggressively questioning Tomatsu Yuka here?

Releasing her lips, watching the boy put down the cup, Mochizuki Haruka felt her own stubbornness ripple in that white paper cup, submerged in the sweet and slightly bitter liquid.

"How long are you going to hold onto this position as the official girlfriend?"

Jun Matsue felt a crack appear in the taut gate of his heart, and he turned to look at Yuka Tomatsu.

The girl remained leaning against him without speaking, only rubbing her cheek against his shoulder, letting the boy make the decision.

"...Until the common exam is over?" Jun Matsueda looked to the other side and asked tentatively.

"There are still more than two months until the common exam. After that, it will be almost like graduation. Even if we announce the breakup, it won't have much of an impact."

Mochizuki Haruka snorted heavily, "That's what you told me back then, and then you kept putting it off."

The boy said helplessly, "Look at how long we were harassed at school after 'White Line Flow' became popular?"

"If I were to announce our breakup now and then seamlessly move on to you, do you think the school would be in an uproar?"

"Then we must break up immediately after the common exam," the girl said decisively.

Jun Matsue did not agree immediately, but turned his head away again.

"..." Tomatsu Yuka leaned on his shoulder and nodded. "I want to eat tamagoyaki."

“The one in my bowl is hotter.” Jun Matsue picked up a thick omelet, held it with his left hand, and brought it to the girl’s mouth.

After the girl took a small bite, he put the rest into his mouth.

Watching the two intimately sharing the food, Mochizuki Haruka pursed her lips and pulled the boy's free left hand into her arms.

"How should the time be arranged?"

“Sunday is still mine,” Tomatsu Yuka said calmly.

Mochizuki Haruka wasn't surprised. "And what about lunch?"

"You're going to try and take my lunch break?" Tomatsu Yuka looked up at her, the gentle expression on her face gone.

"School time is so short, and we have to go to class. If Chun-kun comes home with you as soon as get out of class is over, won't you have all the evenings to yourself?"

Mochizuki Haruka sneered, "Don't talk like you don't exist in the world of Laiqi Yangshi."

"What's wrong with her?" The girl, who always presented herself as pure and gentle, showed no intention of backing down.

"Will you share a room with Yosuke Kurusu? Does Jun-kun sleep in your bed or hers at night?"

The haughty girl smiled sarcastically again, "It's really hard to say what will happen in the future."

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then lowered their heads and each took a big gulp of hot cocoa.

The greedy girls had already divided up their respective territories and had no intention of giving in.

"I'm done eating." Jun Matsueda put down his empty lunchbox, breaking the awkward silence.

"We need to hurry, the classroom still needs to stay open at 1 a.m."

"I'm done eating too." Tomatsu Yuka put down her lunchbox; her portion wasn't much to begin with.

Mochizuki Haruka shoved the sandwich into the boy's arms, saying, "I can't eat this much."

Jun Matsueda returned the bento box to the girl and took a bite of the sandwich.

As a teenage boy, he could easily fit another sandwich in his stomach.

"Then...should we go now?"

"When will you be coming to Kiyoshi?" Mochizuki Haruka stood up, holding a hot cocoa.

"..." Jun Matsueda glanced at his phone. "This afternoon, but the exact time hasn't been determined yet."

After carefully wrapping and putting away the empty box, Tomatsu Yuka looked up again, her eyes regaining their usual gentle and faint smile.

"Kurasu-san always likes to catch people off guard."

Watching the boy pack up his picnic blanket, Mochizuki Haruka impatiently turned and walked towards the stairwell.

"That's what happens when someone's a bit slow on the uptake; Yosei Kurusu and that Imogawa are both examples."

"Don't put it so harshly." Jun Matsue followed behind her, walking side by side with Yuka Tomatsu.

The footsteps of the three quickly faded into the distance, followed by the groaning of the old metal door—the boy closed the door and turned to walk towards the girls waiting for him on the stairs.

The toughest part is over, Jun Matsuoka thought to himself as he took a step forward.

Although the upcoming adjustment period will inevitably be difficult, there is only one thing he needs to do.

Hold their hands tightly and keep walking without letting go.

Chapter 754 Who will deal with Lai Qiyang?

The coffee shop remains open at 1 p.m.

Jun Matsue and Yuka Tomatsu went downstairs together for a walk and took a look at Aya's class.

An hour later, the two returned to the entrance of Class 6, Grade 3, where Mochizuki Haruka was just appearing at the other end of the corridor with the hot girls.

The girl, with her aloof expression and multifaceted talents, also had very sharp eyes. After turning her head to say a few words to Rion beside her, she quickly broke away from the playful group and walked straight toward them.

"I'm sorry," Jun Matsue said softly.

"..." Tomatsu Yuka stopped and turned to smile at him.

With her keen intuition and intelligence, she could understand a man's emotions without much communication.

"Jun-kun doesn't need to apologize to me, and he certainly doesn't need to apologize to Mochizuki Haruka."

“I already said it on the rooftop, I can completely understand you.”

"As for Mochizuki Haruka—without you, there wouldn't be the same Mochizuki Haruka who stands before me with a stern face and speaks coldly. So, Jun-kun certainly doesn't need to feel indebted to her."

"certainly--"

The girl's brown eyes came closer, reminding Jun Matsue of the hot cocoa they had just shared.

"If Jun-kun feels guilty, just love me more and spend more time with me."

"As for Mochizuki, it doesn't matter at all~"

Tomatsu Yuka winked playfully, and a girl's cool yet sweet voice sounded behind her.

What makes me indifferent?

Mochizuki Haruka walked up to the two of them, deliberately pushing aside the girl next to her and standing closer to the boy.

"It's nothing." Jun Matsue smiled at her. "Is it your turn to provide accompaniment again?"
