Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 38 - Happy End

Hypothetical question for those waiting for Yuu's POV:
What would you think of Yuu if it was revealed that—just as Yami realized her ex-boyfriend (Yuu) is actually Ta-kun (the guy Hikari likes)—Yuu also discovered that his ex-girlfriend (Yami-senpai) is none other than Aya-chan, Hikari’s so-called 'best friend'?

That would make things even more exciting.
Other than that, my opinion of him wouldn't change at all. Because that doesn't really affect the reason why he kept everything to himself.

actually I don't know if I can quite remember does he know that the two are best friends? Or as far as we know, he's completely oblivious?

B/c hiding stuff from her kills the dream? She likes him for his openess and honesty (just like Aya) and that they can be so comfortable with each other, and him hiding such a big piece of his life is a rejection of all that.

Ah yes because all women love to be told about the guy they likes ex.

We still don't have the whole picture so judging the situation is hard, but it is good that Hikari stood up for herself and her current and future misgivings if they were to have a relationship. Who knows if they will recover from this and have an honest conversation about it, but I suspect that Yami will somehow be the bridge that brings the two of them together.

Having said that, I can see why he would be hesitant to say anything about his feelings. His options were to tell her how he felt about her and make everything awkward if she didn't reciprocate that they drift apart or keep the status quo and secretly pine for her behind the scenes. It really can be a catch-22...as I am sure we have ALL been in this situation before. Cherish what you have and keep it or take the risk for something more knowing that all you held dear could crumble.

I wonder if he made his resolve to tell Hikari how he felt after seeing Yami. If the conversation with Yami was just him getting closure with her so he could dedicate all of his feelings towards Hikari again then it makes sense that he would be gone for 30 minutes gathering his courage....but of course Hikari does not know any of this. The other side of this is that he told Yami he still loves her, but she rejected him, so he decided to tell Hikari almost like a consolation prize. My gut says it is the former rather than the latter, BUT the line about having his heart broken 4 times could mean either Hikari broke his heart at least once when they were kids without realizing OR the meeting with Yami that happened 30 minutes prior.

Alright genuine question-

If Yuu truly is realizing how damaging his lack of openness and honesty is hurting everything especially Hikari and he does try to have a serious talk with her and be fully honest about everything with Yami and open up to her about how deep his insecurities truly were and try to give a serious apology and all that how do think she'd react?

 

[LeonsamaX]

Yeah what a terrible way to start a relationship, that shit was dead on the water before it even started.
Yuu lying at the worst moment possible sealed the deal.

 

[Litreara]

As far as we know, he doesn’t know. There’s a moment in chapter 18 where it seems like Yuu might be fishing for information, but that could be a stretch. Also, Hikari mentions that the four of them hung out a lot over break, so Yuu knows about the existence of her three friends, but it’s unclear whether she ever told him their names. I’d imagine she did, but we don’t know for sure.

 

[Ravinous]

That's right, call out his bullshit. Don't be treated as a consolation prize. You better than that girl!

 

[LeonsamaX]

I still don't even get why everyone dick rides Hikari like she's the pure angel surrounded by human filth. Everything that Yuu and Yami did was before Hikari started tryna get with him. Hell, I'm pretty sure acording to the time-line, Hikari only started seeing him as a man and actually wanting to go out with him AFTER he started with Yami smashing on the daily. They didn't team up to NTR his childhood friend after the fact but that's how some of yall acting 😂

 

[YourDeadNanForever]

When sis rejects her dream boyfriend because he didn’t tell her a bunch of shit that mostly was none of her business

Absolutely her business when he is lying to her face lol. Loved you since we met? Who you fooling.

 

[mgRdr]

Everything that Yuu and Yami did was before Hikari started tryna get with him

How did you miss chapter 21?

 

[YourDeadNanForever]

Then her dream was a delusion from the start. She’s throwing away the boy she loves because her PERFECT boyfriend-to-be would have run to her (when they were just friends) and told her all about having sex with a sad weirdo who made him feel bad about himself. Seems like something he was allowed to keep private, but not in Hikari land!

And its just not worth it when the person is telling you a lie to your face. No one is asking for obscene detail, don't just pretend to be some romantic when a random passerby is enough to shake your "yearning".

 

[Litreara]

That would make things even more exciting.

The thing is, right now, the only one we can say for sure had the full picture is Yami. But if Yuu knew that Yami-senpai is Aya-chan, then he would’ve had the full picture too, leaving Hikari as the only one truly in the dark. So, just like Yami looked worse in my eyes when it was revealed she knew Yuu and Ta-kun were the same person, Yuu would also look worse if it turned out he knew that Yami-senpai is Aya-chan.

Thanks appreciate it!

to answer this then I do think it'd line up with some of his actions and to me, has them make a little more sense

While I don't think it wasn't the best to not tell her about Yami while there going out I can at least understand why especially after it happened and it likely being a rather touchy subject for him

Like I said he shouldn't of hid it but I I can understand why

What what it REALLY it could potentially change is him lying about where he was during the festival

If he didn't know Yami is her best friend, then I think at that point he had NO reason not to at least open up slightly about what happened even just abit something along the lines of "hey I never told you about this, but a while ago I was seeing a girl and I ran into her and we got into an argument" obviously not EXACTLY but something along those lines

However if he KNEW Hikari and Yami are best friends I think that makes things far far more complicated because now it involves someone else she's close too if it's just a classmate to her, he could explain and not really cause much tension between her and someone else but with her best friend? That's quite different especially when it comes to the topic of the kiss because he basically has two options

1. Tell her about it and say Yami initiated it, and he didn't want it essentially throwing her under the bus and VERY potentially ruining her friendship with Yami

2. Not saying who started it and her potentially getting the impression he was just as culpable

It complicates it...ALOT

All of that said- I still think he should've used this chance to be open that they dated litterally just say "hey I'm sorry i never told you about this but I dated your friend Yami for a while and I ran into her and we got into a fight*

Obviously she still saw the kiss and it probably wouldn't have changed much in the outcomes it would've been far easier to explain eventually why he didn't tell her about Yami

So, just like Yami looked worse in my eyes when it was revealed she knew Yuu and Ta-kun were the same person, Yuu would also look worse if it turned out he knew that Yami-senpai is Aya-chan.

I think this is leaving out something slightly important to consider

It makes him not telling her they date a bit worse true but man it severely complicates what happened during the school festival and makes his choice to lie about where he was far less clear cut imo

We're talking human feelings here, not some sort of military intelligence. Full picture or not full picture doesn't really matter imo. He chose not to tell Hikari about Yami because it felt awkward and because he was afraid it would affect his relationship with her, not because he decided that she didn't need to know the full picture. Now, learning that Yami became Hikari's best friend would certainly contribute to his own mental anguish, but it wouldn't really change his reasoning for hiding their past relationship.

I think it very likely did affect his reasoning behind not telling her about the kiss/argument at the school festival honestly

 

[secondBLUE]

valid.

If by some miracle of God that happens...
Hikari has been shown to care for other people, I'd say she would forgive him, or that she would try to help him if she could.
But I don't think she would forgive him enough to let bygones be bygones and just start dating him.
Trust has been broken and that's kinda hard to fix, and even when you do the cracks are still there, but that's mostly me talking out of experience with that kind of stuff.

Also, after all this altercation, how much does she love him right now? Because we're not talking about a married couple or anything like that. They are teens, they are not even dating yet, and it has been just a couple of months since she started liking him, right?

My question wasn’t about justifying or judging his reasons for hiding things. I was more interested in how people might view him differently if it turned out he knew about Aya-chan’s identity—regardless of his motives. I was asking from a character insight perspective, not making a moral evaluation of his choices.
