Chuuya used to think that he didn't need anyone. This was all until you appeared in his life. You took his breath away from the start. This is so strange..

You spent a lot of time with him and even became good friends. He always protected you and, albeit in a slightly rude way, showed his concern. His heart has never beat so hard as with you. When you accidentally fall asleep on his shoulder. When you take his hand in yours when you are worried or anxious. When you smile at him every time you see him. With you everything is just different. He was in denial for a long time and refused to believe the fact that maybe he liked you a little. He even told Kouyou about you so many times that she immediately understood what it was about. She just smiled when she saw you two together. Oh how in love he was...

After so many months, he finally plucked up the courage to set a day. One wonderful day. The day he finally admits his feelings. A day that could be his worst, or his best. He took his love letter that he wanted to give you and went to the place where you usually stayed after work in the office.

....

His eyes widened, the confession he was holding was now tightly clenched in his fist, his lip trembling slightly as he watched you with another boy..

Oh no, she likes another boy... Well, of course, he’s just Arahabaki’s vessel. He is not a full-fledged person.

Then why does it still hurt so much?..
