Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 528 Emergencies
When Mochizuki Haruka returned to the apartment, Matsueda Jun had just finished washing the dishes. The girl standing in the entryway looked at the boy wearing an apron.

"Has Auntie already left?" She looked around but couldn't find her aunt.

"Hmm, she went home after she finished eating." Jun Matsue took off his apron.

My aunt had a clear purpose. After giving him the task, she ran off, only managing to get a free meal before leaving.

What did you have for dinner?

The girl tossed her schoolbag and several shopping bags onto the sofa and poured herself a cup of barley tea to quench her thirst.

"The green pepper, beef, and egg fried rice tastes pretty good. I saved some for breakfast. Would you like to try some, Mochizuki?"

Mochizuki Haruka puffed out her cheeks, shook her head, and swallowed the tea in her mouth. "I've already eaten my fill outside."

"So, are you still planning to study tonight?" Jun Matsue sat down opposite her.

"..." The girl glanced at him. "Let's call it a day. I'm a little tired."

"Hmm?" The boy blinked. This answer was somewhat unexpected, making him unable to speak, even though he had originally intended to offer some advice.

"Want to play games together? Or watch a movie?" Jun Matsue chose to temporarily put aside his aunt's task.

But the girl shook her head again, "I need to go back and take a shower first, then I'll do some styling for my new clothes, and then I'll probably go to sleep."

"That's good too." The boy nodded. "Golden Week is coming soon, so it's a good time to wear my new clothes and go out to play."

"Then I'll head over first." Mochizuki Haruka picked up the bags from the sofa and waved to him.

As she closed the door and the girl's footsteps faded into the distance, Jun Matsue looked down at the mug with the blue swallow pattern on it, which still contained a little barley tea.

Something feels wrong...

He first sent a message to Rion, asking about Mochizuki's afternoon. The girl replied that she had gone shopping for clothes as usual and had a lot of fun.

The guy breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that she hadn't had any conflict with her friends. Maybe she was just tired from shopping?

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jun Matsue finished showering and came out of the bathroom. As he sat on the sofa in the living room drying his hair, he pressed his ear against the wall that his aunt called superfluous, but he didn't hear a sound.

Has Mochizuki already gone to bed?
The boy carefully walked to the entrance, opened the security door without making a sound, and gently turned the doorknob next door; it wasn't locked.

Like a burglar breaking into a house, Jun Shizuka quietly entered and opened the door to room 506. The living room was pitch black, but a hazy moonlight could be seen on the balcony, creating a beautiful scene of quiet night.

But it's only a little past nine o'clock. He looked at the girl's tightly closed bedroom, where a thin ray of light shone through the crack in the door.

I tiptoed to the bedroom door and pressed my ear against it again, but I still couldn't hear anything.

Silently turning the handle, Jun Matsue pushed the door open and entered, where Haruka Mochizuki's back appeared before him.

The girl, wearing headphones, sat at her desk, engrossed in her studies, completely unaware of his arrival.

The boy walked behind her, and the shadow that suddenly appeared on the table made Mochizuki Haruka turn around quickly. After recognizing the familiar face in front of her, the wariness in her eyes quickly melted away.

"You promised to relax and go to bed early tonight, but you ended up hiding here secretly studying?" Jun Matsue never expected to say that to himself.

The girl pouted slightly, turned around to face her books, and said, "I feel like you don't want to see me studying today..."

The boy sighed and sat down on the edge of the large bed behind him. "Let's take a break and have a chat."

Wang Yueyao turned around, placed her hands on her knees, and looked exceptionally well-behaved.

The girl was wearing a pure white camisole, with no bra strap marks on her shoulders, so Jun Matsue had no choice but to fix his gaze on her face.

"How long did you study after you got home?" Mochizuki Haruka glanced at her phone. "Less than an hour."

"It'll begin pretty soon after I've showered and changed," Jun Matsue thought to himself, "How much longer do I plan to study?"

The girl's eyes darted around. "I'll end it when I feel sleepy."

The boy's gaze shifted to the table, where there was another blue swallow-patterned cup containing coffee that hadn't been drunk much from.

Jun Matsue sighed again, "This isn't a good thing for you to continue like this."

"What's wrong with it?" Mochizuki Haruka frowned slightly. "Is it wrong to study hard?"

"...You don't really want to get into the University of Tokyo."

The boy leaned forward, looking at the girl's face, while her gaze drifted to a corner of the room.

"Based on your score in the first mock exam for the University of Tokyo, you'll have to work incredibly hard to even get a chance to get into the university." He chose to be blunt.

“There’s no need to force yourself like this, Mochizuki.” Jun Matsueda felt he had never spoken so gently. “I don’t want to see you under this pressure every day.”

“Even if we go to the same university, we might not be in the same major. It only takes about ten or twenty minutes to get here from Keio University by car.”

"We have plenty of time, we don't need this little bit."

“But Tomatsu Tomika goes to the same school as you,” Mochizuki Haruka retorted without hesitation. “How could I possibly feel comfortable letting you two be together?”

"Why do you think I applied to Tokyo University?" The girl stood up and walked up to the boy, her voice trembling slightly.

"I was in the same class as you in my second year of high school, and we were deskmates. But you started dating Yamami Maki first, and then you became some fake couple with Tomatsu Yuka!"

"I live right next door to you now, and I have to watch out for Kurusu Yosei occasionally coming back, and I end up fighting with her for a spot on the sofa!"

"Even if I'm by your side, you still get taken advantage of by them time and time again, don't you? What will it be like when I'm not by your side in college!"

Mochizuki Haruka raised her clenched hands and shoved them onto Matsueda Jun's shoulders, causing her body to fall down along with the boy.

A muffled thud came from the soft bed. The girl placed her hands on the boy's neck and looked down at his face.

"I want to apply to the University of Tokyo because I feel insecure!" Her words echoed throughout the room.

The girl's black hair fell down beside the boy's face. Matsueda Jun listened to Mochizuki Haruka's panting. Her gaze was fixed on him, and her originally calm eyes were now filled with turbulent waves.

"You said you were pretending to be in a relationship with Tomatsu Yuka for revenge, but you haven't mentioned Yamami Maki in so long. Why haven't you broken up with her yet?"

"Tell me! Give me some reassurance! Am I going to be abandoned by you again?!"

It turned out to be the case.

Looking into Mochizuki Haruka's determined and stubborn eyes, Matsueda Jun realized the hidden meaning in the smile that Mochizuki Kaori had given when she left.

Auntie probably didn't actually want me to persuade Mochizuki; she just felt that the relationship between the boy and girl needed a change.

"I've fallen for their trap again," Jun Matsue thought helplessly, his mind filled with the fragile yet stubborn expression of Haruka Mochizuki.

Faced with the girl's undisguised feelings, he had to respond.

　It's almost the end of the month, so adults who haven't voted yet can wait until the end of the month when there are double monthly votes before voting for Meow.
　　By the way, I'd like to recommend my friend's new book, "Meow".
