When the sky was barely lit, Sakura woke up from her slumber.
"Ino, what are you doing?"
Uchiha Yoichi feigned a hazy expression of just waking up, then, with a 'startled' look after opening his eyes, hurriedly asked, "Sakura? Why is it you, where's Ino?"
"I also want to ask, why is it you, why are you here..."
Sakura suppressed the anger in her heart. She was past the age of impulsive actions over disagreements, but today's incident was unbearable for her. Without a reasonable explanation, even if he was Ino's man, she absolutely wouldn't... Where is this?
Then Uchiha Yoichi spoke, seemingly to explain the real situation to Sakura.
"This is Ino and my room. Ino said she wanted to talk to you last night, so she went to your place, then came back alone at midnight. I thought Ino came back after talking with you and went to bed... why is it you?"
Uchiha Yoichi's face showed extreme innocence, but last night's scene was entirely orchestrated by him, and he even recorded a very clear memory with a specially-made nano-night camera.
"Isn't this my room?"
Although it was a question, Sakura quickly realized that this really wasn't her room. The scenery outside and the interior setup were completely different.
So, it means she entered the wrong room herself?
The anger in Sakura's heart suddenly subsided. She didn't know what to do. If she were the victim, with her temper, she would definitely seek revenge no matter what.
But now, it was she who entered the wrong room. She should have realized earlier when she spent too much time soaking in the hot spring and, feeling groggy, entered the wrong room...
"How could this happen..."
Sakura was filled with distress, realizing it was she who entered the wrong room and even lay down in Uchiha Yoichi's bed of her own volition.
Her heart was full of unwillingness, but Sakura now didn't even have someone to vent her anger on; it was her own carelessness that caused the current situation...
"Sakura, now... what do you plan to do?"
Uchiha Yoichi feigned a consoling and aggrieved expression, took his clothes and dressed.
However, upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but glare at Uchiha Yoichi in anger. But this glance led to an unexpected sight, causing Sakura to catch her breath and look away.
After Uchiha Yoichi put on his clothes, he said to Sakura, "Get dressed first. We need to solve this issue. It's hard to even talk like this..."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi went next door. Upon hearing this, Sakura also slowly suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart. After Uchiha Yoichi left, she slowly lifted the blanket and saw what had been left behind from the previous night.
"Mr. Sasuke..."
Feeling sad, Sakura put on her robe. Her robe had been undone and tossed aside last night but wasn't significantly damaged.
After putting on her robe and tidying the bed, Uchiha Yoichi came back from the next room.
He sat two meters in front of Sakura, sighed, and asked, "Sakura, last night... what do you plan to do?"
"I don't know..."
Sakura answered while kneeling, her head bowed and eyes closed, her hands clenching into fists and pressing firmly on her thighs, revealing her inner tension and confusion.
"You must have entered the wrong room because you were drunk last night. Otherwise... should we pretend that nothing happened?"
Uchiha Yoichi continued feigning slight discomfort as he said, "Honestly, I don't want Ino to know about this. You're her good friend. If Ino finds out... she might break up with me. I truly want to marry her."
Upon hearing this, Sakura also thought of Mr. Sasuke. She didn't want to deceive Mr. Sasuke, but this incident was caused unconsciously by her entering the wrong room and losing her body... If she confessed to Mr. Sasuke...
Sakura even felt as if Mr. Sasuke and Sarada were right in front of her, accusing her of being an unseemly mother.
"...We'll keep it a secret. I don't want this to be known either..."
After lifting her head, tears welled up in Sakura's eyes, her eyes reddened as she said to Uchiha Yoichi; now she had no choice but to bury the matter within herself and never speak of it as the best option.
"That's all we can do. I'm really sorry about last night; if I had been more awake, I might have realized you weren't Ino. Sorry, Sakura..."
Having gained a great advantage, Uchiha Yoichi continued to express a remorseful face as if it was all his fault, which strangely made Sakura's feelings toward Uchiha Yoichi improve slightly.
Even though it was she who entered the wrong room, causing everything that happened...
"No, it's not your fault. Let's just pretend it never happened, and definitely don't tell anyone..."
Despite feeling distressed and quite weak, Sakura forced herself to stand; she couldn't help but wonder what her body went through last night to feel so drained.
"I'm going back now; Ino is still..."
"She probably hasn't woken up yet. Ino has been sleeping deeply lately; if she hasn't come looking for you, she should be fine... just remember to come up with an excuse, Sakura."
Uchiha Yoichi reminded her.
