Trap

Shinsuke broke the door of Naomi's house. From the phone call earlier, Shinsuke heard that Naomi was very scared.

Shinsuke couldn't ignore the woman, even though Shinsuke had clearly been betrayed. A week ago, Shinsuke caught Naomi making out with a South Korean man. And at that moment, Shinsuke agreed to the match arranged by his mother. Whether it's as an escape or an outlet.

"Naomi!" called Shinsuke, panicking.

However, the only sight Shinsuke saw was Naomi in sexy clothes. It seemed, Shinsuke had been caught up in the joke the bitch had created.

"Ceh! Bitch! So, you just tricked me, huh? What do you mean when a burglar enters your house, eo?"

"Ah, yes. And the robber is currently negotiating with me." Naomi wrapped her arms around Shinsuke's neck. Naomi gently blew Shinsuke's earlobe. "Ugh~~ didn't you miss me, Suke-kun~~~."

Shinsuke took a step back. Shinsuke doesn't want to be seduced by a bitch, who, unfortunately, has been Shinsuke's sleeping partner all this time.

Naomi didn't give up. Naomi pushed Shinsuke down onto the sofa. Naomi rushed into Shinsuke's arms, tightening her grip, not allowing Shinsuke any room to move.

Naomi started to lick Shinsuke's lips, and it seemed like she had succeeded in making Shinsuke give up. How can a cat refuse if given fresh fish bait, right?

Furthermore, they carry out activities as they have been doing. Shinsuke has no right to demand Naomi's loyalty, because for Shinsuke, Naomi is just a bitch who will satisfy his desires. There is no love, only lust.

However, Naomi has no problem with that. As long as Shinsuke is still on his side, Naomi doesn't mind even if Shinsuke marries dozens of women.

Everyone may have made mistakes. However, it's just a matter of whether or not we are able to forgive the mistakes of others. Never regret a decision you made just because of your ego.

This is Kenkyo's first day in Todai, and Kenkyo never thought that he would have to meet his first love, Yamada.

His life the last 3 months was really boring, all Kenkyo did was just keep waiting. Waiting for her husband to acknowledge her existence.

They were already living separately from Mrs. Yukiko, but that made it easier for Shinsuke to bring Naomi back to their house. Although there is a little jealousy, Kenkyo is aware of his position in the house. She is only seen by Shinsuke as a poor girl who needs money and a place to live.

"Yamada-kun, are you going to avoid me again after this?" said Kenkyo, sadly. It seems that no one understands her feelings in this world.

Kenkyo has no one else. Yet when he got married, he hoped to have a place to lean on. Reality is not as beautiful as expectations.

Yamada cupped one hand to Kenkyo's cheek, while the other hand gently stroked Kenkyo's long hair.

"I've heard the story of your life from my Aunt. I really want to help you, but I can't afford to have to fight Shinsuke Ji-san."

*Oji-san = Uncle

"You don't need to do anything, Yamada-kun! Just being by my side, and this is more than enough."

"Then you have to trust me! I will never leave you. Never feel alone. Don't close yourself off from others! Go back to being the cheerful Kenkyo you were back then!"

Kenkyo smiled in relief after hearing Yamada's words. It feels like in the last 3 months, Kenkyo has only really been able to smile sincerely. Kenkyo doesn't need to look tough in front of Yamada.

"Oh yeah, you owe me an explanation for why you avoided me when I was down, Yamada-kun. Can you explain now?"

"That's because I was too cowardly. Instead of protecting you, I hurt you. That damn Himeka set me up. Himeka shot a video that made it look as if I sexually assaulted her. She threatened to spread the video if I didn't want to be her boyfriend, and he also threatens to ruin your life.

"When my parents have high hopes for me, I don't want their trust to be broken just like that. Himeka is a child of the parliamentary council. Himeka could have complained to her parents that I was expelled from school. And this cowardly me finally obeyed Himeka's orders. Bad luck ended when Himeka was found horribly dead. Himeka's body was floating in the river a month ago, with her mouth torn to her ear. I did breathe a bit of relief, but I'm also sorry for Himeka's death."

Kenkyo kept his mouth shut, as if he couldn't believe Yamada's story just now. Even though Kenkyo has a little grudge over past events, Kenkyo doesn't think the woman will end tragically.

"You know, Kenkyo-chan?"

"What?"

"All this time, I've always been watching over you. When you were terrorized by the loan sharks I knew that too, but I couldn't do more. All I could do was pray that people like them would get out of this world. And you know, Kenkyo- chan?"

"About what?"

"After I said that, the three loan sharks who terrorized you were found dead in a tunnel near our school a month later. They had one arm missing. It's presumed that they died from blood loss."

"W-wait!" interrupted Kenkyo "But, what do you mean tell me all this, huh? You suspect me?"

"Haiish! It's not like that, Kenkyo-chan. It seems, I'm talented in cursing hahahahaha," Yamada laughed.

Kenkyo who saw the strange attitude of his ex-lover immediately hit Yamada with a thick dictionary.

"Yamada-kun?"

"Ahahahaha what?" answered Yamada in between laughs.

"Have you ever heard that if someone laughs at someone's death, it's bad luck for the rest of their life?"

"W-what??!"

And now it was Kenkyo's turn to laugh at Yamada's paranoia.

***

Shinsuke is at the crime scene. Last night, a man was found dead tragically in one of the gold shops. One limb of the man's body disappeared, the hand. Allegedly, the victim initially intended to steal money and gold at the gold shop. However, unfortunately he was killed viciously by someone.

Shinsuke heard the testimony of the witness who found the corpse, which was none other than the employee of this gold shop.

"Hmm, interesting! It seems, this case also has something to do with the murders of the past few months. The victims have committed crimes, so the killer judges in his own way."

"Maybe it's true, Senior. All the victims, otherwise the missing limbs must have lost their internal organs. For example, this thief lost his hand. The former loan shark, the missing head. disappear."

Takeru brought up the case a few months ago.

"Do you think this was done by the same person?" asked Shinsuke.

"Um, maybe. This murder was very clean. The killer left no trace at all. It seems, the killer was well versed in the mode of investigation, so he eliminated all the evidence we could possibly suspect."

"Okay! Let's wait for the autopsy results first! In the afternoon we will have a meeting with the other team members," Shinsuke ordered Takeru.

Takeru nodded and bowed to his senior.
