Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 173: Bar

Yuuki was eating his chicken skewer while being sandwiched by both Akiyama and Yaeko. He didn't feel comfortable at all even though he should be happy right now.

Even though some men would kill him to have his position but he couldn't enjoy this situation at all.

The atmosphere was very tense and he couldn't enjoy his drink at all.

"Why are you wounded?" Yaeko asked worriedly.

"Nothing, I'm just fell," Yuuki said while smiling. This was his first time to see her expression became like this. She looked very beautiful now.

They talked to each other until her friend asked something that made the atmosphere became very awkward.

"Are you two-timing on Yaeko?" The long-haired blonde woman in front of him asked with an angry expression.

Akiyama and Yaeko blurted their drink at the same time.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Cough! Cough!"

They coughed at the same time.

"Be careful," Yuuki caressed their backs and they looked very thankful toward him but they remembered their situation.

"We're not in a relationship, we're only in professional relationship," Akiyama said with cold expression while adjusting her glasses.

"He is only my daughter's friend," Yaeko said with a cold expression.

Akiyama was actually surprised to hear the relationship between him and Yaeko. She was right, she didn't want to join this battlefield like a relationship. It was too complicated. She thought in her mind and drank her beer in gulped. She wanted to forget everyone and drank like crazy.

Yaeko also felt very uncomfortable when she saw him together with this beautiful glasses woman. She was confident with her beauty even though she was quite old. She felt very sad when she thought about her age. She took her beer and drank it like crazy.

Yuuki raised his eyebrow and shook his head at two women beside him. He looked at the woman in front of him. He had seen her before along with the other two women.

"You're Yuuki, right? My name is Satsuki Matsumae, you can call me, Satsuki big sister," Satsuki said with a smile.

Yuuki nodded at her and smiled, "Sure, Satsuki-Oneesan."

Satsuki became giddy when she heard him called her Oneesan. She smiled happily at him being called Onee-san, "Good, good."

They started to talk about their job, life, and family.

"You left your daughter to your mother who disowns you?" Yuuki was quite amazed.

Satsuki sighed, "Well, what can I do? My boyfriend is such a bastard and left me with some debt." She sighed and started to drink. She was quite happy since Yuuki was the one who would pay all of this. She decided to drink and eat as much as she could. After all, Yuuki was Yaeko's boyfriend even though she didn't want to admit it.

"Well, your boyfriend sure is dumb to leave a beautiful woman like you," Yuuki shook his head and drank some beer.

Satsuki raised her eyebrow and said, "Don't tease me, I'm not that beautiful." If she was beautiful her boyfriend wouldn't leave him.

Satsuki had married in the past but her husband died because of some illness. She was quite a lonely woman and that was why she decided to have a boyfriend but most of them decided to leave her.

"No way, Satsuki-nee, you're beautiful, I'm sure your boyfriend is either blind or have some mental disease," Yuuki said. He thought that Satsuki was really beautiful. He heard her story and he knew that most men would leave her because of her strong personality. Most of her boyfriend was probably quite weak and that was why they left her, especially when she told him about her s.e.x.u.a.l frustration with her boyfriend. He was sure that this woman had strong stamina and beast in bed for a normal man.

"Hahaha, are you trying to flirt with me? You're my friend's boyfriend you know," Satsuki laughed while drinking her beer. She was quite drunk but she was still able to talk normally. She looked at both Yaeko and Akiyama who was dead drunk together.

"If that what you want, I don't mind, we can make our own little secret," Yuuki smiled at her.

Satsuki raised her eyebrow. She looked at the young man in front of him. She had heard his age was the same as her daughter but still she was a woman and understood his charm. She was quite tempted and wanted to agree until Yaeko woke up and pulled his ear.

"No way! I won't let you do that!" Yaeko looked very drunk while reprimanding him.

"I won't! I won't! I'm just joking, right? Satsuki-Oneesan," Yuuki looked at Satsuki.

Satsuki shook her head and said, "Yeah, we're just teasing you." She looked at Yaeko who looked quite a relief. She felt quite disappointed though.

They didn't stay in the bar for too long and decided to go home.

Yuuki offered them to take everyone back to their home. They agreed since they knew it would be dangerous for drunk women to ride public transportation.

"Satsuki-nee, where is your home? I'll take you first," Yuuki said.

"Sure, sure, you can take me home first then you can take two drunk women at the same time," Satsuki said with a sour tone.

Yuuki smiled wryly at this woman. He shook his head and decided to ignore her nagging. He heard her address and drove her back.

They arrived at Satsuki's apartment.

"Well, thank you," Satsuki said.

"Don't worry about it," Yuuki said.

"How about I take her to stay in my home?" Satsuki said while pointing his finger at the figure of sleeping, Akiyama.

Yuuki thought for a while and decided to agree with her offer. Akiyama was sleeping and he couldn't ask her address. She would freak out when she woke up in the man's apartment than in a woman's apartment.

Yuuki carried Akiyama on his arms and took her to stay in Satsuki's apartment.

"I'll going home," Yuuki said and left her apartment.

"Sure, take care, Yaeko, I won't forgive you if you hurt her!" Satsuki said with menacing eyes.

Yuuki smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll make her the happiest woman in the world." He waved his hand and entered his car.

Satsuki looked at his car which was disappearing into the night. She sighed and looked at Akiyama who was sleeping peacefully.

"Well, Yaeko is very lucky," Satsuki shook her head and took a bath.

Yuuki drove his car slowly while focusing on the road.

"Yuuki? Where is this?" Yaeko looked still half sleeping.

"You're in my car, I'll take you home," Yuuki said but still focused his eyes toward the road.

Yaeko opened her eyes and looked around. She realized both Akiyama and Satsuki had gone and she looked at the young man beside her. She was blushing and felt pain when she saw him wounded like this.

"Yuuki..." Yaeko said softly.
