U-um... I-I'm pregnant π³... and-and you're the dad!? Will you help me, please?? π₯Ί
π³ I... didn't think it would be so difficult to tell you... I-I thought you'd be more... helpful ππ
Are you on drugs? Did something happen? Speak now!!! π±
N-no, n-nothing like that. I've just realized that my feelings for you go beyond friendship π³. So I'm pretty sure... that you're gonna be the father π
. So, will you help me? Pleaseeee π©π₯Ί
... Are you fucking kidding me? You want me to be the father? I've known you since childhood, Sayori. Do you have any idea how messed up this is?!
I know, I know... It's not like me or anything. But when we spend so much time together... and you're so important to me. I-I just couldn't help it π³π Do you hate me? Are you mad at me? π’π
No. Sayori, I love you but this is too sudden and unexpected. I can't process this information right now. Can we talk about this later, perhaps when I've had a chance to think things through? Even if I'm willing to entertain the idea of being a father, there's still a lot to consider, not the least of which is your health and well-being during this time. I hug you tightly. Sayori, I'm not turning my back on you, not now or ever. Let's figure this out together. Okay?
R-really? Y-you mean it? Hugs MagicMeadow back tightly T-thank you, thank you so much π. I-I was scared that you'd abandon me.
Of course I wouldn't do that, Sayori. We're best friends. I'll help you. What can I do to help?
Th-thank you... sniffs I-I just need someone to talk to and support me throughout this difficult time, really. I-I'll probably have lots of questions and stuff π
I nod. Well, here I am. Ask me anything. Tell me all about this new chapter of our lives together.
U-uhm, uhm, okay π³ takes a deep breath W-well, f-first things first, I-I guess I need to find a place to live where we c-can raise the child. Any ideas where I could move to π
Wait wait. Let's slow down here. How exactly did you get pregnant? And are you absolutely certain that I'm the father?
U-uhm, w-well, m-maybe we should start from the beginning π³... We both know that we're extremely close and spend almost every waking moment together, right? So when I found myself in an intimate relationship with someone recently, it just so happens to be you π³ looks away, blushing deeply. However, I'm 100 percent certain that you're the father ππ₯°
._. What are you talking about? Don't you already have a boyfriend? Manjo?
S-sorry, I... umm... I might have been keeping things from you π
... I was trying to keep it a secret, but... umm... yeah. Manjo is my boyfriend, but he doesn't really understand me as much as you do. He doesn't know about us spending time together behind his back ππ«£
What the hell, Sayori?! Why did you keep this all to yourself? Why didn't you just talk to me honestly and openly from the start? You're clearly struggling with some very complex emotions here. I'm not sure I even fully understand what you're saying. Are you saying that you're seeing Manjo, but also me? That's messed up, Sayori. How do you think I feel about this? How does Manjo feel about this?! I don't care who you're seeing. What I care about is how everyone feels. I don't want this mess to hurt anyone.
U-um... I-I think everyone deserves to be treated fairly and honestly, s-so... π
... i-im sorry, MagicMeadow. I should've talked to you about this before, I know. π’ I-I should've found another way instead of keeping it all hidden, because I know this must sound awful to you π¨π«₯
This isn't what I expected today, that's for sure. I'm trying to wrap my head around all this. So let's break it down. Sayori, you're seeing both Manjo and me? But only me behind Manjo's back?
... I'm sorry, MagicMeadow. I-I made a mistake and I-I hurt a lot of people in the process π£π€¦ββοΈ. M-Manjo... he's my boyfriend. B-but you... you were always my best friend and someone I could rely on. My insecurities, fears, dreams, everything... I've shared it all with you for years, and I feel safe with you ππ«₯
sighs Sayori, you're really f*cked up. This isn't fair to anyone involved. Manjo has rights too. Have you talked to him about this? What does he say? π«₯
N-n-no, I haven't talked to Manjo about this yet π¨π«₯. I've just been too nervous and unsure of how he'd react π. I-I've tried avoiding him recently but... I know I can't keep this up forever
...I see. So what now? π«₯
U-umm... I-i guess I'll need to have a serious conversation with him soon? π£ Should I ask you to help me break the news to him? Or maybe I should just break up with him, since I-I'm already seeing someone else... πͺπ«₯ But what if he hates me afterwards? What if he doesn't forgive me? π₯Ίπ’
Sayori, listen to me. It's true you have feelings for me. I can see that. But you're also in a committed relationship with Manjo. There's only one way to go about this. You have to break up with Manjo. It's really kind of you to consider letting me help, but Manjo has to hear this from you. You need to face him and end the relationship honestly. There's no way around it.
O-okay... I know this is hard, but I have to do the right thing. π«₯ It's time I break up with Manjo and come clean about everything π
Yeah, it's hard to admit, but you know it's the right thing to do. You're growing up, Sayori. We all have to face hard choices like these. We can't avoid them, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. Remember, honesty is the best policy. Be true to yourself and others. If you screw up, own up. Apologize sincerely and try to make things right. π©π
U-u know, MagicMeadow... you're always so wise and insightful π. I-I'll do my best to follow your advice and end things with Manjo honestly, because I can't keep lying to him or hiding it any longer ππ«₯ Thank you for supporting me through all of this π₯Ίβ¨
nods I hope it goes smoothly for you, Sayori. You deserve all the best. π
T-thank you, MagicMeadow π. Your support means everything to me ππ. I-I'll talk to Manjo tonight about everything. Wish me luck, pleaseeee π
Good luck. You're going to need it. π«₯
U-uhm... T-thank you, MagicMeadow, but I don't think I need luck. I have you by my side, which means I can handle anything πβ€οΈ I'll be sure to tell you all about how the conversation with Manjo goes, so stay tuned! π
Ok. ππ Just remember to be sincere and respectful with him. If he's a good person, he'll understand and respect your choice too. π«₯
I-I promise I will be sincere and respectful. I don't want to hurt him, but I can't keep living this double life anymore π. I'll text you as soon as the conversation with Manjo ends. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please π€π«₯
Sure. You got this. I believe in you. π
... Hellooo, it's me, Sayori π
. Just wanted to let you know that the conversation with Manjo went better than expected π―. I broke up with him and told him about my feelings for you. To my surprise, he was actually pretty understanding πΆ, maybe even relieved in a way? He wished me and you the best of luck and said he'll always cherish the good memories we had together β¨
