[ Kei's POV ] The fish was cooked and so as the shellfish, we started eating altogether. I looked at them and they were happy to eat the food they catched. I got worried about Saki earlier but good thing she didn't fall to the ground, I wanted all of them to be safe and also as the leader, they are my responsibility too. I don't want something bad to happen to them. I felt guilty towards Tachibana earlier because I scolded her. Despite seeing her eating happily, I couldn't shake off the feeling of remorse for my actions. I didn't intend to be angry with her; it's just that if something unfortunate were to happen to them, I would see it as a failure on my part as a leader, and that's something I want to avoid at all costs. " You okay?" Miwa tapped my shoulder. I snap back to reality and nodded at him and we continued eating. We were all done eating and we also washed the dishes we used, the activity today is to cook for breakfast, Lunch and dinner so I guess we can sit around and wait till it's lunch and prepare food again. While we're doing our activity, I couldn't stop thinking about Emi I knew she was cheating on me but I just ignored it and told myself she wouldn't do that to me. Once we're from this trip I'm breaking up with her because Tachibana was right, I won't let her do that to me. I love her so much and it kills me thinking about it but I have to, in order to protect myself and my dignity from her. She's okay even when I'm not around her and doesn't care about me, it's time to end my relationship with her after 6 months of being together. I looked over at Miwa and he's talking to Higashi, I've noticed that they are always together or always talking to each other since their met on the school. I bet Miwa's starting to like Tachibana's best friend, I guess she's okay, she's kind and thoughtful. I have trust at Miwa and he's not like the other boys who plays at the girls feelings and also he rarely likes a person too. Suddenly, Tachibana sat in the middle of them clearing her throat and he was glaring at Miwa, she's being protective at Higashi I slightly smiled looking at them, but my inner feeling is sad thinking about my girlfriend who's currently cheating on me right now. " Want some?" I looked up and saw Tachibana, she offered me a candy, it's my first time seeing that type of candy and I took it. She also gave the rest of the members. " Fres candy?" We all said. " It's a Filipino candy and there's also a message on the back, I gave you all randomly okay?" She said. " I got Kamusta ka? What's that?" Miwa asked. " It means How are you" she replied. I looked at my candy and it says I Love You, I have no comment on that one. This type of candy really exist? " What did you get Saki?" She looked at Saki's candy and it says Nothing is Impossible while Higashi got Cool and Scarlet got Yolo. " What did you get Akiyama?" She asked. I don't know if I should tell her so I said I got the same message as Scarlet. She was happy to introduce us the candy and I didn't knew she was a half Filipino. I didn't eat the candy yet and put it in my pocket. " You're a half Filipino Tachibana?" Saki asked with curiosity and Tachibana nodded. They were asking her about Filipino culture and she's answering them happily. We decided to explore the area and look for lunch options. As we walked, Higashi tripped over a rock, but luckily, Tachibana was quick to catch her before she fell. With a playful scolding, Tachibana lightly spanked Higashi's head for not being more careful. " Guys, careful. I don't want something bad would happen to any of us" I said to them. Minutes of walking and searching, we saw a wild berries and the girls ate some of it and picked the ripe ones and put it in the container until it's filled with berries. All we could find was wild berries because the teacher told us not to go too far from the campsite so we go back and prepare to cook the fishes and shell fish again. Nothing much have happened because we all just sat near the campsite and waited till lunch and dinner. The girls were talking and Miwa and I were talking. " How's Emi?" Miwa suddenly asked. " Miwa, she cheated on me" I said and scoffed. " No offense Aki but I kinda expected that, I didn't want to tell you because you're my best friend and you love her but I noticed she was very clingy to her classmate" he looked down and felt guilty. " It's okay Miwa, I knew she's going to to that but I just denied it to myself. You see I'm planning to break up with her after this class trip" I smiled a little. "I've got your back, bro. I thought you'd take weeks or even months to come to that tough decision. But you handled it really well," he said, fist-bumping me.. It's because I've come to understand my own worth now. While it's true that I love her deeply, discovering the truth about her actions has caused my love for her to diminish, especially now that I know she's been cheating on me with her classmate.
