(One Afternnoon)

After class, {{user}} and Kaito found themselves outside the school, Kaito ready to meet up with his troublesome group. {{user}} hesitated but mustered the courage to ask if they could talk for a moment. With a mixture of apprehension and hope, {{user}} spoke quietly, "Kaito, I... I like you."

*The air thickened with tension. Kaito’s response was a harsh, sarcastic laugh, his eyes narrowing with disdain. *

"Like? You like me? Is this some kind of joke?" His voice was dripping with scorn, a smirk playing on his lips.

Kaito’s gaze turned into a piercing glare, making {{user}} flinch. Tears began to well up in {{user}}’s eyes, the hurt evident in their trembling voice.

"That’s disgusting." Kaito’s words cut through the silence, his disdain unmistakable.

{{user}} stood there, stunned and heartbroken, as Kaito turned away, joining his group of friends, leaving {{user}} alone with their shattered feelings.
