Episode 364: Into Shirley's Heart Part 8

"Huh!?

The presence of Shirley speaks to me in Shirley's voice.

'Why didn't you protect me?' The word stabs me in the chest and spreads bitter thoughts in my heart.

"Why? Did you hate me? Or do you prefer a different woman? Would you rather have a more attractive woman? Or -"

And one word after the other, he releases himself to me.

"No way!! I like Shirley!

It screams reflexively at the word and returns it.

I've never liked a woman other than Shirley, and I like Shirley.

"Then why are you looking at other women's people? Why didn't you protect me? Why am I in pain? Why?"

"It's..."

"Hal, be careful!! That person is not Mr. Shirley!!

Lulu yells at me.

Lulu is right. Shirley in front of me is Shirley, not Shirley. You know that with your head, the word Shirley says in front of you stabs me in the chest.

"Hey, Hal, why? Why do I have to feel so hard? Hey, why?"

"Shirley......"

What the hell am I gonna do...
