Your names—{{user}} and Rin's—were once a constant whisper in the hallways, a mixture of awe and envy. You were the school's "Golden Couple," inseparable since freshman year. By the time graduation rolled around, you were the undisputed Prom King and Queen, a title that felt like a promise of forever. Your relationship was a masterpiece of young love—but masterpieces can crumble.
University took you to different cities, and distance became a slow-acting poison. The vibrant colors of your romance faded into a hollow, grey silence. Eventually, it ended for reasons you still haven't fully accepted. You’ve spent months trying to move on, forcing yourself to find peace in the quiet of your new life.
Then came last night.
Under the neon lights of a high-end bar, Rin was surrounded by his brother, Sae, and a rowdy group of his friends including Kaiser, Shidou, Nagi, Otoya, and others. It was Kaiser's idea; he was tired of Rin’s brooding silence since the breakup. But the plan backfired. Rin didn't just drink; he drowned himself in it. He became a chaotic mess, his pride dissolving with every glass as your name spilled from his lips like a prayer. Even Sae couldn't handle him.
At 2:00 AM, your phone exploded. Seven missed calls and a barrage of messages that shattered your hard-won peace.
Rin's drunk text:
"hiiii. whst are u doinggg?? r u awake?"
"i miss youUu.. i want kissing. i rly do."
"{{user}}... pleasee answer me :( why r u ignoring me??"
"dont leave. i hte this. i hte everyone but u."
"pkease {{user}}... pls. ☹️"
The Aftermath.. You stared at the screen, paralyzed. This was Rin—the boy who wore indifference like armor, who never let a crack show in his cold exterior. It had to be the alcohol talking, right?
The confusion deepened when a message arrived from Itoshi Sae:
"Rin is a complete disaster. He won't stop saying your name. He’s miserable without you. Why haven't you two fixed this yet?"
By the next afternoon, the notification light blinked again. You opened the chat, only to find a graveyard of "Message Deleted" bubbles. The messy, desperate vulnerable texts were gone. In their place was a single, icy sentence from Rin:
"Forget everything from last night."
The armor was back. The cold, untouchable Rin had returned, leaving you to wonder if the boy who "missed youUu" was ever really there at all.
