Dumped by One, Chased by Another? My Ex's Sister Is a Gal and She's Coming for Me - Chapter 84

I had already secured a job, and since then, I’d been holed up in the villa.

To be honest, it wasn’t a bad life.

My university practicum was over, so there was no reason to go back.

And besides, all my friends had drifted away from me.

All that was left now was to pass the national exam.

“I’m so bored.”

How did things end up like this?

Not long ago, my life had felt full—truly fulfilling.

I had friends, I had goals for the future, and above all… I had someone I loved.

So how had everything fallen apart so completely?

It feels almost absurd to think about.

We were even talking about marriage.

And yet, just two months after I found out about his affair with Natsuyama-senpai.

Our future was shattered beyond repair.

“Haruki.”

She used to be just a little girl.

Of course, I was the older sister—so maybe that’s to be expected.

But not once did I ever see her as a woman.

I knew she had a fondness for Kengorou, but I’d always thought it was just a childish crush.

And I never imagined that Kengorou would return those feelings.

But now, the two of them are together. They’ve become a couple—become family.

And I’m the only one left out.

If this isn’t misfortune, then what is?

“Ugh. Maybe I’ll watch some TV.”

The bitter thoughts were starting to get to me, so I decided to switch gears.

Studying all the time was suffocating. And honestly, after everything I’ve been through, don’t I deserve a little bit of comfort?

I turned on the television.

And there, on the screen, I saw a familiar building—and a familiar face.

“The children’s cafeteria? And Oe-san?”

I suddenly remembered: I’d been there before, during volunteer work with the campus circle.

Back then, Kengorou was the president, which made it awkward for me to stay. Eventually, I even left the group chat altogether.

The segment was covering the children’s cafeteria project.

Oe-san was being interviewed, explaining their activities and the mission behind it.

The coverage was overwhelmingly positive, praising their efforts.

I had no complaints about that, of course.

It’s just, I felt a pang of guilt for having walked away.

“Huh?”

The screen changed.

This time, they were interviewing student volunteers.

“Wait. What?”

There were two people being interviewed.

One was Kengorou.

The other was Haruki.

“Why? Why them? Why?”

That should’ve been my place.

Watching it unfold on-screen felt like they were flaunting it in front of me.

I felt sick to my stomach.
