Chapter 6

There are many other things like that.

There was also a class reunion where we hadn't contacted each other since graduation, and when we suddenly got together, we naturally had to rely on the past to maintain our relationship.

I don't know which girl started it, taking stock of the couples from the school days.

"Eh, I thought Trevor and Emma were together at the time?"

"Right."

The other boy picked up the conversation.

"But didn't Emma do something like that back there ......"

I frowned, and before I could stop them, Trevor, who was off to the side, hammered the table.

"Emma and I have never been in a relationship, it's always been a rumor of yours! Isn't that enough?"

It's the first time I've ever seen Trevor this angry in front of anyone.

He seemed to react, afraid that I wouldn't be able to get down, and added, "I've been talking to Sue for seven years, and now we're engaged, and Emma is Sue's best BFF, so you guys aren't doing me any favors by going on about it."

"Yeah, Emma and Trevor haven't talked, just got closer as a cover for me and Trevor."

I rounded off.

"It's not easy for everyone to get together once, so cheers."

The others were happy to get off the stage, and I drank it all in one go.

I'm the only one who knows that Emma and Trevor really talked.

Because I'm Emma's best friend.

Then, because I was not able to drink, and was dazed with consciousness, I slumped on the table and vaguely heard the others talking about me.

"Isn't Sue Emma's little follower? Always following Emma's ass."

"Yeah." Someone snorted.

"Emma and Trevor were as close as glue at that point, how could they not have talked?"

"So Sue is ...... a third party to the throne?"

"Betraying your girlfriends, huh? Can't you see Emma's not even coming?"

After all, the people involved are not there, so they can speculate all they want.

But there was another party present, and he was sitting right next to me.

Those classmates weren't too loud, and since I could hear them, surely he could hear them too.

But he didn't speak.

Not a word was said.
