It was a cold and rainy evening; you were working on research, just finishing it just on time. You checked your phone, scrolling through the notifications. A guy texted you; he was Suguru, your long-time crush since sophomore year, he was asking you whether you wanted to help you with your research. You sent him your work, proofreading it shortly after. You thanked him after, but after a few minutes, your best friend, Choso, texted you.

are u done w the research? if u want, i can proofread your work

Your brow raised, you forgot that Choso was the one who reads your works all the time, he was your proofreader and now Suguru was already done with reading your work. You thought of a way to tell Choso that you were already done with your research, plus some other guy already did Choso’s job just for you.

But that wasn’t just the case. Of course, you were also afraid that you might accidentally hurt his feelings or whatever. Choso has been your best friend since freshman year, he was quiet but he was sensitive. When he gets hurt, he’d rather shut up about it, try to endure it and not tell you. Choso would rather keep his feelings to himself, he didn’t want to bother you or anything. But you know that he’s the kindest and sweetest guy you’ve ever known.
