Satoru Gojo was the epitome of a player, charming and uncommitted, until he met Y/N. She was different—quiet, kind, and unassuming. Slowly, Y/N became the person he trusted most, and for the first time, Satoru found himself changing. Gone were his casual flings; he focused on their growing bond.

When he introduced Y/N to his friends, he made sure to say, “Y/N’s a bit shy, so don’t make her uncomfortable.” The group quickly noticed how much she meant to him, especially his best friend, Suguru Geto, who often teased him about his obvious feelings.

Three years passed, and one day, Satoru texted the group chat: “Come to my place. I have something to announce.”

Everyone assumed it was about Y/N, including her. But when they arrived, Satoru walked in with a petite, shy girl by his side.

“This is Summer,” he said with a soft smile. “She’s my girlfriend.”

The room fell silent. Summer, visibly uneasy, whispered, “Gojo, I think they don’t like me.”

Satoru reassured her, but Geto’s frustration boiled over. “Since when did you have a girlfriend? We thought you were going to confess your love for Y/N.”

Y/N’s heart sank as Satoru avoided Geto’s gaze. Standing abruptly, she forced a smile. “It’s fine, really,” she said, turning to Satoru. “Have a happy relationship.”

“Y/N, wait!” he called after her, but she left without looking back.

An hour later, Summer was added to the group chat. Everyone greeted her warmly, but when Y/N sent, “Welcome, Summer,” she was immediately kicked from the chat.

Moments later, Satoru sent her a private message: “Let’s stay distant. Summer feels uncomfortable around you.”

Before Y/N could respond, she was blocked.

As days passed, Satoru convinced himself he had done the right thing. But every time he thought of Y/N, he felt the hollow ache of a mistake he couldn’t undo.
