Chương 40: What if someone poisons me?

"Are you not hungry?" Aunty Ozaki gives me a sweet potato. "Eat this on the way. You didn't eat anything last night."

I take the bundle of sweet potato. "I will eat it. Thanks a lot for everything."

"Son, take care of your wife." Uncle Ozaki pats Kamiyama's back. "Visit us again. Next time, come back with your child."

Kamiyama nods his head seriously. "I promise. We will visit you again with our future child."

I stare at him. This guy? Isn't he taking this too seriously? Don't promise things that can't happen. Never mind. I don't have any energy left to deal with this guy. I want to go back home.

Not home, temporary place at Kamiyama's residence.

He takes the bundle from me and walks a little ahead of me. At day time, the mountain looks less frightening. There are more people.

"Why did you promise that?" I can't help but ask. I am irritated that he would say things like that. It's better not about me. Does he have feelings for me already?

"Are you going to come back with your wife and child in the future?"

"Yes." I hear him reply. He doesn't stop walking. I jog up to him and grab his arm.

"Kamiyama, are you going to marry your secretary?" I look into his eyes. "Or have you decided on some other woman?"

Kamiyama gives me a smile. "Can anyone take the position of my wife? She has to be someone qualified enough to capture my heart. Most women aren't even eligible for that position."

The natural playboy. I am relieved. "I am curious about what kind of woman is qualified for you. If you are too picky, you will end up alone."

He takes my hand and squeezes it. "My pickiness level is nothing compared to yours. You didn't eat anything at Ozaki house because you are picky and whiny like bad children. Do you know how much you have hurt them?"

I exhale. He is noticing it sooner than I expected it. Being picky cannot be used as an excuse for a long time.

"Yes, I am picky and I care about hygiene." I chin up with fake attitude. "I can't just eat from any place. I also hate eating with other people. My grandmother used to say that you trust the other person if you are sharing the meal table with them. I don't trust them. What if someone poisons me?"

Half lie. Half truth. This way, this bastard won't bother me anymore. A cynical and untrusting personality is better than someone who can't eat in front of other people. I don't want anyone to know how broken I am. Is it wrong? I don't know. I will keep my wounds to myself. I don't want anyone's pity.

***

The excuse is ridiculous. It makes him laugh. He hasn't forgotten about her house and the layers of dust. He will never forget about that cockroach either. Can he forget about empty ramen containers from a street store? Her house was a dumpster. Besides, who will poison her?

He resists the urge to point it out when he sees the flicker of vulnerability and worry in her eyes. It's quickly replaced with anger and fake pride. He stares at her for a long time.

Not eating food with them at their house, seducing and pretending to love him at the office when he asked her to eat lunch with him, suddenly throwing up like that at the hotel when he fed her, distracting them with the gaming competition at the hospital, not eating at the Ozaki old couple's house.

Is it that she doesn't like eating in front of other people or is it that she can't eat in front of other people?

She turns her back to him and clenches her small hands. Her hair is rolled into a bun. She is walking fast ahead of him, trying to hide her trembles beneath her oversized hoodie.

"Kamiyama, we should hurry. We can't miss the train."

***

Did he guess it? Why did he look at me like that? I am afraid of turning around and see him. But, he won't stay quiet if he finds out, right? I don't want anyone to know. He isn't that smart. He won't figure it out.

What will happen if he finds out my weakness? I don't know what he will do. Will he laugh at me for being like this? Because I am still affected by something that happened years ago? Because I am weak? I am afraid. I don't want anyone to look down at me. I don't want to show them my weaknesses. Will he use my weakness against me?

I keep walking ahead of him, afraid that he will read my mind if I turn around. He hasn't said any word either. At the station, I avoid looking at him. The train finally arrives to take us back to the city.

In the train, I pretend to sleep. He isn't looking at me. He is looking out of the window, deep in thought. If this horrible person finds out, he will definitely use it to torture me. I don't want to go through it again.


Chương 41: Hungry enough to not think carefully

Kiyohira knows that she is peeking at him. He doesn't look at her. She is a ball of nervousness. Like a person who is guilty of a crime, she is afraid of being caught.

When he destroyed her house, he knew that he destroyed her place to hide. Back then, he didn't care how it would affect her. She wasn't afraid of him when he destroyed her place or threatened to throw her in the prison. She is afraid of him now. He isn't happy. Instead of getting closer, he feels that he is further away from her.

He hears the sound of her stomach's grumble. She can't pretend to sleep now. The heavy silence feels unbreakable.

When they reach home, she bolts to her room and locks herself inside. His grandmother frowns at him. Takeshi raises his brow. "Did you fight with her again, Elder Brother?"

"No." He glares at him. "Why are you still awake? Go to your room."

"Okay." Takeshi looks at the closed door of his sister room. He shakes his head at his brother. His sister seems more withdrawn than before. It will be harder to get close to her. He grumbles something about his brother being an idiot and goes to his room.

"Have you had dinner?" His grandmother asks him quietly.

"I am going to have it now." He smiles at her mildly. "Please, rest. It's late, Grandmother."

"I have a lot to talk about." His grandmother tells him, "We will talk tomorrow."

He gives her a nod. She retires to her room. Sometime later, Harumi brings in the five packages of ramen.

"Take them to the kitchen."

Harumi is confused to hear those words. But, she can't deny her master's orders. She takes them to the kitchen. He opens one of the containers. It's watery. There is barely any meat or vegetable. She lies about hygiene and being picky about food, but she doesn't even bother to order meals from a good place. He throws away the ramen and cleans the containers. Harumi watches him cook the ramen with more meat and vegetables. He refills and repacks the containers.

"Take them to her." He adds three bottles of juices. "Tell her that these came with it."

"Will she believe me, young master?" Harumi creases her brows. She has no idea what her young master is trying to do.

"She is hungry enough to not think carefully."

When Harumi comes back empty-handed, he lets out a breath of relief. But, it also confirms something else. That woman suffers from an eating disorder. She is most afraid of him finding that out about her.

What made her the way she is today?

***

The taste is different. There are more ramen and meat than water. I like it. They must have changed the cook. Sending freebies with the ramen, is something special today? Anyway, I have no complaints. Freebies are always welcome.

The new cook makes delicious meals. I hope that this new cook doesn't leave the job at the ramen store. I will give him five stars review on the app.

"What should I do about Kamiyama?" I open the third container. "I am sure that he has noticed something. He isn't good at pretending that he didn't."

My phone is gone too. I have to buy a new phone. Why did I throw it anyway? I regret it. One should never be angry on precious items like phones. I open my laptop to check what's going on. The Kamiyama scandal is popular again. This time, there is a video of mine throwing up and begging to Kamiyama not to hurt me. I lose my appetite. This is how miserable I look like when I have my episodes. Because of that Kamiyama, the whole world has been me like this. My face is also revealed.

I don't bother reading the internet's reaction. I am not angry. It isn't much different from back then. This time, I have power in my fingers. I erase the video from all the sources and hack into the accounts. I know that I will be noticed by the people from the dark web and the people of the law.

I make a decision. I will give enough problems to Kamiyama's family business enemies. This way, they will stop being a nuisance to me.

***

At morning, his mind is full of questions. How does he rectify the situation with the video? Takeuchi cannot return to the work as an errand girl. After finding out her talent, he doesn't want her to work as an errand girl anyway. There is a more suitable place for her. But, he is sure that she will be highly reluctant.

He puts the phone on speaker.

"Speak."

[Boss, someone has hacked and destroyed our business competitors' systems. Our market shares have also increased. Also, the troublesome video along with all the articles regarding the scandals are completely erased from the internet.]

His fingers pause on the button of his shirt. Takeuchi Rie.

"Anything else?"

[Um... No, but... ]

He hangs up right away. He has to find a little hacker in his house.
