Chapter 17 - Hidden side?

"Daiki, you almost killed those 7 men, you know?" Kumi said with a horrified look on her face.

"What do you mean I almost killed them? I…I don't remember anything, please Kumi tell me what happened. Most importantly, did they do anything to you?"

Kumi got startled, feeling scared but eventually started explaining.

"After you were pushed down to the ground, those guys ignored you and started surrounding me, trying to hit on me. I barged away from them, I ran to you and grabbed your hand so that we could run away but I couldn't get you to get up. I called out to you…but it seemed as if you were spacing out. Those guys were pissed, they grabbed me and tossed me to the ground. That's when you suddenly got up, you sent one guy flying with just one kick, after kicking him. All you did was stand still and just took punches from them, left and right. I got really scared and wanted to help go and help you but…but when one of the dudes pulled out a knife, you suddenly fought back. It was so scary! i-it was something I never expected from you, Daiki."

Kumi was beginning to sob, her tears flowing down her face, while she started crying while saying.

"I was so worried, their punches were so heavy, I thought you wouldn't make it out alive, I was so scared…I was so worried…"

I got up from the bed, pulling my hand close to her face and wiping off her tears.

"It's okay Kumi, please continue on"

"Y-yo-you knock them all unconscious, but the one that was on his last breath was the guy that tossed me. If i didn't call out to you to stop you would've killed him. I was so scared to see such a…such a…I don't like it. I hate seeing you like that, I-I just want…I just want the usual you."

I thought to myself what was going on right now, Kumi said all of that but I still don't remember any of it, of course how could I? I defeated 7 guys at once?I just couldn't see it.

I was wondering what was going on and how did this happen.

After I saw Kumi still crying, I pulled her into bed with me and hugged her. She cried into my arm and asked me to never ever show her that side of me again.

The next day I woke up to find Kumi still wearing her uniform in my bed. I got flustered and woke her up, telling her it is almost time for school. She woke up surprised and realized that we slept in bed together last night. She rushed into my bathroom, blushing a bit, and started taking a shower. She came out, with a towel covering her,and went through my closet to find any of my pajamas that she could change into. She changed her pajamas right in front of me, which startled me, I asked

"Kumi you do realize I'm right here right?"

"Yeah, it really doesn't matter that much anymore, we already saw each other naked once anyways, right?"

I was surprised to hear what she just said and didn't know how to reply to that.

After Kumi finished changing her clothes, she walked up to me and pushed me down on the bed, hugging me tightly, her hands gripping strongly on my back.

"Daiki…"

I hugged her back, as she continued

"Promise me…promise me you won't ever do something like that again. I-I know I might be a little selfish here but…but please, I don't want to feel hurt like that again…"

She was sobbing a bit again, but I understood what she meant. She just doesn't want me, someone she loves, to hurt her.

"Alright…I promise, I promise to never hurt you like that ever."

But while I was comforting Kumi, I realized something. Why did Kumi change into my pajamas!? It's 8 in the morning, we're gonna be late for school!

"W-Wait, Kumi aren't you gonna go to school"

She stayed silent but continued to hug me, this time tighter.

"Let's just stay like this for a little longer, I…we can go tomorrow…"

"But you never miss school once won't it ruin your perfect attendance"

"Nothing else matters more than being with those you love, besides I never cared about that perfect attendance anyways. I only had that because I didn't want to miss a day not seeing you."

"I see…"

I blushed a bit, seeing how much she cared and loved me, even before we started dating.

I thought to myself [ I have a promise to Kumi, meaning I could no longer continue planning on killing the doctor anymore, but still I will make sure he gets what he deserves].

The next day, I got to school. After getting through the crowd of people giving the side eye, I saw Kumi and waved at her. She waved back, but told me she was busy, to which I nodded in reply. I got to the classroom and saw Chizuru and went over to her.

"We need to talk."
