Daichi awoke in the middle of the night after feeling someone touch his body.
"What are you doing?" He squirmed in an attempt to avoid Shuhei's touch.
"How do you see it?"
Shuhei kept doing what he was doing. He removed Daichi's t-shirt and attempted to unzip Daichi's trousers.
"What are you doing?" Daichi grabbed Shuhei's hand as he was about to strip him na-ked.
Shuhei looked at Daichi and said, "Daicchan. Why are you acting so innocent? Permit me to undress you and have se-x with you."
"No, no, I don't want to! Stay away!"
"Hm? Last night, I noticed you starting to enjoy our game. Why would you refuse now?"
"You idiot. You already have a woman, so why are you reaching out to me again? You are so disgusting, don't you realize that?" In yet another attempt to reject Shuhei, Daichi shoved his bulky body.
"Woman? Are you talking about Haruka?"
"Who else?"
"You already know, I see." Shuhei smiled slightly. His large fingers played with Daichi's hair. "Do you feel envious?"
Daichi is sick and tired of Shuhei's attitude. "Your imagination! It's great that you can be straight; don't be abnormal again and let me go."
"What is straight? What is abnormal? I touched Haruka just because she looked like you."
"But does that mean you still like women?"
"I don't like her at all; I just use Haruka as a stand-in for you. I always think of you and call your name every time I'm having s-ex with her."
"You are such a jerk." Daichi scolded. "Shouldn't you be nice to her? She even got pregnant by you."
"Nah, no need." Shuhei shook his head.
Shuhei pushed Daichi's body once more. "Can we stop talking and just make love? I'll hook you up, I swear."
Daichi was unable to negotiate with Shuhei in the end, and he had to accept being harassed by Shuhei once more.

When Daichi awoke the next morning, he discovered he was not alone in bed.
"Damn, he's still here! This fucking dog."
"Why are you cursing at me so early in the morning, Daicchan?" Shuhei's voice was muffled because he had his face buried in Daichi's neck.
Daichi was naturally uneasy. He pushed Shuhei's body away with all his strength. Perhaps he tripped over the blanket and fell to the floor because he was in a hurry.
"Ouch!" Daichi's eyes were welling up with tears. As a result of the fall, he experienced a sharp pain in his right ankle.
Shuhei immediately approached Daichi after noticing his pain. "Does it still hurt a lot?" he asked, holding Daichi's leg.
Daichi kicked Shuhei's chin with his sore right leg. "Of course it hurts, you scumbag! It was broken first by you!"
"It was your fault for escape. Nothing of this would have happened if you had obeyed earlier."
Shuhei was staring at Daichi. "So it's my fault? Okay, okay, it's up to you. You win!"
"Let's take a shower first. I'll take you to the hospital for an examination later."
Daichi followed Shuhei out of the room after they had showered and changed clothes. He was taken aback by how large this place was. Even the kitchen was the same size as Daichi's bedroom. Aside from the expensive-looking furniture, there were also people in black suits standing around the condominium.
"You are really this wealthy. Using a luxurious facility like this to lock me up is a waste." Daichi remarked
"I have no other option."
A 40-year-old female servant served them food. Daichi looked around but could not find Haruka.
"You looking for something, Daicchan?"
Daichi inquired, still looking around, "Where is Haruka?"
Shuhei sighed in annoyance. "She is not here. Don't bring her up again; hurry up and eat."
Daichi's instincts told him that something was wrong. His pupils constricted as he stared at Shuhei. "What did you do to her?"
"Why do you ask that? Do I appear to have done something?" Shuhei made an innocent expression. "You know I was with you all night."
"Hey, you!" Shuhei's words made Daichi feel embarrassed because servants and guards were all around them. "Don't bring it up!"
"What is the problem? I just mentioned that we were together all night. It is not like I said we having se-x all night."
Having Shuhei in front of him, Daichi could only stare helplessly.

Shuhei kept his promise to take Daichi to the hospital after eating. Shuhei takes Daichi shopping after a series of examinations.
Daichi didn't mind. Even though he had to be accompanied by Shuhei and his men, Daichi felt it was preferable to being confined and harassed by Shuhei in his room.
Daichi already knows Shuhei is wealthy, so he does not hesitate to ask him to purchase a variety of expensive branded items. Not because he is a fan of branded goods, but because he wants to stay here longer. He didn't want to rush back to Shuhei's condo.
Someone tapped Daichi on the shoulder as he was selecting glasses.
"Nishiyama-san?"
Daichi was greeted by a beautiful young woman dressed elegantly. Recognizing Daichi's confused demeanor, the young woman chuckled and said her own name.
"I'm Suzuno Sonoda. Do you remember we used to be in the same class?"
"Oh, ah.. yes. I remember now."
"How are you, Nishiyama-san?"
"Um, yeah, pretty good."
Suzuno nodded. "I'm grateful."
"How about you, how are you?" Daichi returned the question.
"I'm also very good. I am glad to have met you here, by the way." Suzuno said. "I want to talk with you a lot, but there doesn't seem to be enough time. I have heard what you are going through, Nishiyama-san. I want to help you, but I need to wait for the right moment. This is my phone number; please keep it."
Suzuno slipped a piece of paper into Daichi's jacket pocket while warily eyeing Daichi's back. Daichi followed Suzuno's gaze and noticed Shuhei talking on the phone.
"Nishiyama-san, don't forget to call me if you get the chance. have a nice day. Goodbye."
Suzuno disappeared into the crowd.
Daichi stared in silence at the crowd. Suzuno's sudden and abrupt appearance still baffled Daichi.
"Daicchan,"
Daichi was surprised by Shuhei's voice. "Ah."
"Why do you look so shocked? Have you finished selecting the items?"
"Umm… yeah"
"Good. Let's go back first. Another time, we will go for a stroll."
Shuhei and his men took Daichi back to the condo.
"Daicchan, I have to leave now. Please remember to obey."
Shuhei shut the bedroom door after making sure Daichi had gone inside. Daichi stopped the door from closing completely.
"Yoshimoto, wait a moment."
"What is it?"
“Can… can you give me a cell phone? It's really boring here so I want to play games sometimes."
Shuhei fixed his intense gaze on Daichi's eyes. Daichi was hammering on his chest, knowing deep down that Shuhei would undoubtedly turn down his request.
Shuhei unexpectedly gave a nod. "Alright, I will get you one. Would you prefer a specific type and brand?"
"Is up to you; I am not very knowledgeable about cell phones."
"Okay."
Shuhei then shut and locked the door.
Daichi touched the piece of paper in his jacket pocket and leaned against the closed door.
