Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 4

My Boyfriend is Here

In early July, the summer season was already in full swing.

Under the warm glow of the evening sun, Tokyo remained hot.

It seemed unlikely to cool down before night time came.

As the night descended, Shinjuku, Tokyo’s most famous bustling commercial district, was already lively even before nightfall.

On the streets, numerous groups of young men and women had gathered.

In front of the entrance to the Dreamland Club, there was a group of seven, consisting of three men and four women.

The guys were all dressed very stylishly, with earrings, hoodies, or headscarves, and they all had tall and robust figures.

The girls, on the other hand, were dressed in a very sexy and hot style, adhering to the principle of less is better.

Ichinose Yuki was also among them. She wore a pair of sparkling large round earrings and her golden hair styled in big waves. Her tall and slender figure, fair skin, combined with big eyes that were adorned with colored contact lenses and eye shadow, gave her a sexy and irresistible appearance. 

Ichinose wore a low-cut off-shoulder hooded top, super short denim shorts, fine-patterned black fishnet stockings, Martens boots, and had an exquisite and attractive face to top it all off. (1)

Even in Shinjuku, where there were many fashionistas, her presence was undoubtedly eye-catching and attention-grabbing.

Because this group had been standing at the entrance of the Dreamland Club for quite some time, it attracted the attention and interest of some guys.

“Isn’t that group short of people?”

“Three guys and four girls, there’s definitely not enough.”

“I wonder if that beauty has a partner.”

“Let’s go and strike up a conversation.”

“Don’t, there’s quite a few boys around them.”

However, despite the urge to strike up a conversation with the girls, the sheer number of people made it challenging.

For a man to approach three other men, it was simply too intimidating.

If two or three guys went to strike up a conversation, more would join in.

Listening to the nearby conversations, Ichinose nervously held her phone, glancing around from time to time.

Wearing a school uniform with a hoodie tied around her waist, her long blue and white hair in big waves, and a hot and sexy figure, the heavily made-up girl, Shiina Ai, was being embraced by a guy, whilst chewing gum in her mouth.

“Yuki, it’s 5:50, hasn’t your boyfriend arrived yet?” she asked.

“He should be here soon.”

Ichinose glanced at her phone with a rabbit ear case, looked around, and couldn’t spot Kurosawa. She was getting anxious.

“Tell him to hurry up.”

Shiina was getting a bit impatient. Seven people standing on the street waiting for one person was really annoying. 

With pink hair against the wall, wearing a loose T-shirt and having a cute and petite figure, leaning against a guy with a tank top and a headband, who looked robust and strong, was Matsushita Hitomi.

“Yuki, your boyfriend isn’t standing you up, is he?” Matsushita teased.

“There’s no way.”

Ichinose didn’t have much confidence either, but she could only choose to believe it.

While responding, she lowered her head to look at her phone again.

On the phone was Kurosawa’s Line page. At 3:50 PM, he sent a message saying, “Yuki-chan, I’ve arrived in Shinjuku.”

After chatting all night last night, she naturally added Kurosawa as a friend on Line.

At 5:40 PM, she sent a message, “Hikaru-kun, I’m at the Dreamland Club, where are you?” The message was left unread.

Seeing her anxiously wait, a man standing beside her in a windbreaker couldn’t help but speak up.

“Ichinose, if you ask me, a man who keeps you waiting isn’t worth it. Let me introduce my friend to you.”

While talking about the introduction, his gaze couldn’t help but linger on Ichinose’s pair of slender and delicate legs clad in fine black fishnet stockings.

“That’s right, as long as you’re interested, you can choose from my friends. I guarantee they won’t keep you waiting.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the man holding Matsushita also chimed in.

“My friends are the same.”

The boyfriends of the three hotties, their close friends and buddies, had long been eager to join this circle, but Ichinose had always claimed to have a boyfriend, so they never had the chance.

It would be easier if she was single.

A girl with chestnut short hair, wearing an off-the-shoulder leather jacket and leather pants, black stockings, and a striking appearance, with a somewhat cool and handsome demeanor, spoke up.

“Why the rush? We agreed on six o’clock from the beginning. We just arrived early, it’s not like he’s late. Let’s wait until the appointed time.”

This person was Akiyuki Kozuki, the most respected “elder sister” in this group of hotties.

Why was she the “elder sister”? She was wealthiest and the most generous—covering half the expenses for most entertainment, with the rest of the expense being split among the others.

Feeling Akiyuki’s support, Ichinose turned back and gave her a grateful look, then glanced at everyone else.

“Sorry, let’s wait a little longer. He won’t be late.”

Leaning against the wall, Akiyuki looked at Ichinose’s anxious appearance and said a few calm words.

“As long as your date shows up, it’s okay even if he’s a bit late.”

“Kozuki, how long are we supposed to wait if he’s late?” Shiina responded.

“Until seven o’clock,” Akiyuki said calmly.

“That late?” Matsushita exclaimed.

“Yes,” Akiyuki nodded.

Seeing her expression and attitude, the others understood without further explanation, each reacting differently.

If he hadn’t arrived by seven, it meant that everyone’s previous suspicions had been confirmed.

Ichinose Yuki didn’t actually have a boyfriend; her “perfect” college boyfriend was purely a fabrication.

If that was the case, there would be little point in being friends anymore. If friendships weren’t sincere, they weren’t worth making in the first place.

Feeling the gaze of others, Ichinose was anxious and quickly sent a message.

“Hikaru-kun, everyone is waiting for you. How much longer until you arrive?”

However, even after sending the message, it still showed as unread.

The feeling of not getting a response was incredibly agonizing.

Seeing the message marked as unread, Ichinose suddenly became extremely anxious, tightly gripping her phone and thinking of the worst-case scenario.

Could it be that he never intended to come from the beginning and was just teasing me when he heard I was considering finding a new boyfriend?

Upon careful consideration, her acquaintance with Kurosawa was based on the premise that he had been dumped and even sold.

She had purchased a batch of online boyfriends for her to choose from, so naturally, she felt relaxed about the situation.

However, it was impossible to guess how Kurosawa felt about everything.

At 5:55, a sudden message arrived.

“I’ll be there very soon.” It was a message from Kurosawa.

Seeing this message, Ichinose’s uneasy heart calmed down slightly, and she looked around.

At 5:58, Ichinose once again surveyed her surroundings, but amid the sea of people, she couldn’t find that specific figure, and her heart sank.

Not seeing someone you’re waiting for can be excruciating, especially when you’re waiting with someone else. The anxiety then becomes even more unbearable.

Oh no, could it be that he agreed to come but had no intention of actually showing up?

Last night, promising to buy clothes, earrings, and making confessions—was it all just to play with her, to get back at her?

At that moment, a deep and magnetic voice resounded.

“Yuki-chan, didn’t we agree to meet at 6? Why are you here so early?”

Ichinose was extremely familiar with this voice, having listened to it all night last night. In astonishment, she looked up with overwhelming joy.

Just two meters away, a taxi was parked in the lane with its window rolled down.

In the back seat of the car sat a man with short, black, disheveled hair, wearing a silver prismatic earring on his right ear, and possessing handsome and charismatic features.

Seated inside the car was Kurosawa, his deep and dark eyes exuding calm and composure.

His words had announced something significant—Ichinose Yuki’s boyfriend had arrived.
