Chapter 5 My Little Bear God
Ashburn and I tacitly refrained from contacting each other, putting that night’s events out of our minds.
This was our usual game.
I shuttled between school and the apartment, busy with my graduation project, attempting to make all news about Ashburn disappear in this way.
But occasionally, I still heard news about him from others.
“That Sophia has clearly improved her resources lately, probably from her boyfriend.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“I’m so envious. That Ashburn, rich and handsome, willing to spend money on his girlfriend. Look at my boyfriend, Ugh.”
Every time I heard these things, I wondered, where could I go to stop thinking about him?
The teddy bear he sent me was placed by my bedside.
I made a wish to it, wishing not to love Ashburn anymore.
But my teddy bear, it seemed to have fallen from god to become a devil.
As long as I said that to it, Ashburn would come over in the evening with a strong smell of alcohol.
I never opened my eyes, and he assumed that I didn’t know.
It seemed like we were playing a game of stubbornness, waiting to see who would give in first , whether I would open my eyes first or he would drink himself to death.
However, soon, another man appeared in my life.
