Chapter 47- Conflicted

[Minoru's POV:]

The trip came to an end on the third day.

Dad was in a far better mood since his boss didn't create any more trouble for him. Well, losing ten million and also having the threat to get his illegal business discovered probably was enough medicine for that old hag.

The money I got from Hanzo was sent to charities and churches in Kyoto. Very few amounts were on me at the moment.

I really didn't need money, to be honest. My EXP has easily crossed four thousand, thanks to my father's lively libido. He barely let me sleep last night, to the point I had to scold him in the name of an early morning drive.

He needed to drive for a constant four to five hours that's why nearly at three in the night, and after we already had gone through eight rounds of untamed sex, I told him to sleep.

Seriously, the old me would have never dared raise his voice on my Dad, but the new me, who was obviously more than just a son, had gained enough confidence to become a little bolder.

About Aoi and Souta, then I didn't have any contact with them the whole day. I clearly hinted to Souta that I fucked his girl, yet he didn't have the balls to contact me or try hitting me. Well, nothing I could expect more from a pervert.

I have decided to contact Aoi again once I return to Tokyo. She lives four stations away from me and her mother was someone I dearly wanted to meet after this long.

A very strict mother, with whom I have a past. A memorable one.

About Akisu, then I didn't contact him as Miku. I wanted to give him some time or Miku would come out as a suspicious girl.

It wasn't like I was doing things on a whim. I have already decided to give my brother a shot in romance and see how this goes. Seriously, I was a straight man in general, however, it feels good when a man fawns over me.

The way Akisu shies away with minimal touch and always gets taken aback by Miku's beauty... gave a tingling sensation in my chest. That's why I have decided to observe, how a vanilla romance with my best friend goes.

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm?" I raised my brows upon hearing Dad's voice before I turned to look at him and nodded, "Yeah, I am fine. Why do you ask?"

Hearing my response, he seemed a little hesitant. He wanted to say something but the only he did was to open and close his mouth.

I sighed before placing my hand over his which was settled over the gear as I said, "Don't think much and tell me, Dad. I promise I won't mind whatever you say."

He seemed to have calmed down a lot by my statement as he nodded and collected his thoughts.

Finally, after a moment of silence he opened up, "Are you....are you really alright with this?"

Despite knowing what he meant, I wanted him to man up and be precise so I asked, "With what, Dad?"

His shoulder tensed a little but fortunately, he didn't shoot off the topic and decided to be direct about it, "I mean this relationship? The fact that despite being married, I am having an affair with my own child...are you really okay with this?"

Despite he said, 'own child' I knew I was his adopted son. I came to know about it years ago, that I was adopted from an orphanage when I was three years old or something.

However, I didn't press on that matter and focused on the heart of this issue, "Dad...Mom loves you and so do I...and not just like a son, as you already know by now."

His shoulders tensed even further because of the guilt he must be facing at the moment. The fact that he was sexually attracted to me yet didn't want to leave his wife must have been tearing this man from the inside.

I could guess his emotions. He had spent decades with that woman...and suddenly, found a person who could satisfy his needs and provide the love and care, which Dad never realized that he was devoid of.

Seriously, the way he cuddles in my arms and enjoys my soft kisses shows that this man was deprived of love despite having a caring wife. It sometimes becomes an issue between a married couple where they can no longer be satisfied with their respective partner despite wishing to not cheat on them. Just like how Mom has her own desires as well.

That was why I existed.

"Don't punish yourself over it, Dad. I don't want you to leave Mom nor do I want to be separated from you. We can just continue our lives like normal, while behind a closed door, I will be all yours, whenever you want."

I know, I sounded like a pure home wrecking hoe, but do I have any other option? I couldn't allow them to separate since it would ruin the family, which I so dearly love. And I could not be so cruel to say, that I no longer want Dad.

In response, Dad held my hand tightly in his grasp and uttered,

"Minoru...we both know that I will get intimate with your mother...and also, that you surely would have a partner of your own in the future. But...can you keep a part of your heart just for me?"

"..."

I was left speechless.

This man was romantic at such random times that I just get completely taken aback.

He knows that we both couldn't be completely devoted to each other, but he still wants a part of me to be solely committed to him.

I didn't know whether there could be anything more manly and romantic than this.

As for my response,

"Dad...can you stop the car for a second?"

Despite his confusion, he halted the car at the side not so long after...only to be surprised when I suddenly made my way to his lap and sat while facing the man.

Taking off his glasses, I planted my lips against him and gave him a long, deep, and passionate kiss. It was not vulgar or sensual, but purely based on my feelings.

I could feel his heartbeats fastening and I was sure that it was the same for me. But at the moment my whole focus was on the lips that I have connected with his.

He didn't make any move which allowed me to detach my lips from his and whisper shortly after,

"Is this enough for an answer?"

The way his eyes shined and his head went up and down, foolishly, made me chuckle as we continued our journey, back home.
