Chapter 6

"I'm sorry I made you lie like that." Kazuya said towards Chizuru feeling guilty that not only did he make her lie in front of his parents, he had also lied together with her.

"Don't mind it. There are a lot of customers that want to introduce me to their families after all." Chizuru replied, not really bothered by it as she is used to stuff like these.

"O-oh I see, Okay then" Said Kazuya.

"You see this is her third time getting admitted to the hospital ." Said Kazuya.

"Eh?" Chizuru was mildly surprised by this.

"Out of all of the other times, she was in here for a lot longer. We weren't as optimistic this time, as you have seen today. We're all split apart and each of us doesn't want to worry about the other." Kazuya said, monologuing about what happened today.

"My family runs a liquor store named Nagomi. It was created by my grandfather, but now my parents are in line to inherit it." Kazuya pauses for a moment to let Chizuru digest what he was saying.

"After my grandpa died, grandma borrowed some money to keep his creation alive. She wanted to protect what grandpa had created by herself." Said Kazuya.

"As I had spent a lot of time growing up with her, She became into something like a "Heroic " figure in my eyes. I'm striving to become someone like that in the future . I've always been a grandma's boy. Before she passes away, I've been trying my hardest to fulfill her wish" Kazuya said as he turned his head towards Chizuru.

"Which is to find someone who will love me with all her heart as Ilove her with all my heart, someone who will be there for me even at my lowest, someone who will love me for me and not for what I have, someone who I can spend my time with and will never get bored of me, someone who will be happy with me, laugh with me, be sad with me, someone who can understand me, Someone who I can call mine...But I haven't found that special someone yet" said Kazuya with a bitter smile. (A/N: I cringed while writing this)

"...." Chizuru just stands there listening to me silently.

"I was actually in a relationship with this girl for a month. I thought she was the one, so when I told her that I wanted to introduce her to my Grandma she refused. One thing led to another and it resulted in our break up." Kazuya said.

"You know, I wasn't like this before. I started working out after our break up, I wanted to be handsome. So I started to change, doing everything I can to forget about her. Then just when I thought I was ready to love again my insecurities hit me like a truck. The questions like 'Will she accept me?' 'Will she leave me for another?' 'Will I ever be loved again?'" Kazuya said with a sigh. (A/N: so I made Mami and Kazuya's break a month ago and the "I started working out" it's just BS so that he wouldn't get suspicious.)

"So In the height of desperation, I ended up turning to the rental-a-girlfriend company and I ended up in this situation. Lame isn't it?What a cowardly move" Kazuya said, on the verge of tears.

".... There's no such thing as a person who can call themselves truly lonely, there are only those who choose to hide it"

"In everyone's heart, there's a hole. We use things like work or a lover to make us feel wanted to distract us from the hole inside."

"..." Kazuya just stayed silent listening to Chizuru

"But more importantly, what are you going to do? You're going to have a rough time from now on keeping the lie and all. Are you planning on renting my all the time?" Chizuru ask the important question.

"That's definitely impossible" Kazuya said with a wry smile, "but don't worry their definitely gonna find out about our fake relationship, And I can't depend on you all the time it's gonna make me look bad as a guy"

"Even now my previous girlfriend is all I think about even a month has past since our break up, liking her too much and this is the outcome of it." Said Kazuya

"I thought I could forget about her as soon as I can but it seems I can't, so I've decided to bring that experience with me forward" as Kazuya said that memories of him and Mami flashes in his mind.

"I'll make sure to apologize to Grandma. One day for sure! I'll definitely bring a real girlfriend I can show her" Kazuya said with a new found resolve in his eyes.

"Anyway I'm sure you're tired of me speaking about my past" Kazuya said

"I sure am" Chizuru said bluntly

"... At least say it like you care" Kazuya said

"Not really…. Well maybe a little because you drag me in your mess!" Chizuru said

"I'm really sorry about that" Kazuya said

"It's ok just fix the mess you've made" Chizuru replied while waving both her hands telling it's fine.

After Chizuru said that, she turned around and walked.

"Hey where are you going?" Ask Kazuya

"Well to continue our date we still have time."

"But well if you're feeling too cowardly, Call me again."

Well, I don't think we'll be seeing each other anymore. I can't depend on you forever after all, with this girlfriend stuff all settled and over it's time for everything to start all over.

-Scene Break-

As Kazuya was walking the university people were talking about him.

Who's that? , He looks so handsome, Do you think he's single. Etc

"Someya-kun"

As Kazuya heard a familiar voice he turned his head and found his ex Mami with her boyfriend (?) not following the 3 month rule

A small piece of me just died inside. No Kazuya! You've move on already no need to bring back the past anymore. Just be positive and enjoy your college life.

As Kazuya ignored them he continues walking he turned his head forward he saw a familiar face he didn't expect to see.

The girl has glasses, braided hair, wearing a black shirt paired with denim pants and a face he couldn't forget.

His rental girlfriend Chizuzu Mizuhara in her disguise.

"Eh?"

"Eh!"

""EEEHHHHH!?!?!"
