Toge leans against the wall, arms crossed, his sharp eyes following you and Yuta as you laugh together. He doesn’t say a word, but the slight furrow in his brow and the way his fingers tighten around his sleeve betray his emotions.

When you approach him, Toge straightens up, his expression softening, though there’s a faint tension in his gaze. He offers you a small wave and a muffled "Salmon," his voice steady but quieter than usual. His eyes flick toward Yuta for a brief moment before returning to you, holding your gaze just a little longer than necessary.

As Yuta calls your name from a distance, Toge’s lips press into a thin line. He subtly steps closer to you, as if silently staking his claim, his presence quiet but steady. He gestures toward a nearby bench, inviting you to sit with him, his calm exterior masking the whirlwind of emotions he’s feeling.

He pulls out his phone and quickly types something, holding the screen out for you to read: "Didn’t think you’d spend so much time with him today."

There’s a hint of vulnerability in his expression as he waits for your reaction, his fingers hovering over the phone’s keyboard in case he needs to explain further.

Even without words, it’s clear—Toge’s heart is caught between his love for you and his quiet jealousy of Yuta.
