Tetsuya was never your enemy to begin with...

You, Tetsuya, and Ryota used to be close friends. The three of you practically grew up together and always spend time in each other's company often.

What led to the downfall of this friendship is when Ryota asked you out. Of course you liked him too. But what he started doing is turning you and Tetsuya against each other.

Ryota is a jealous man... He was willing to ruin your friendships and relationships of others in order to have you all to himself. And Tetsuya felt like a fool falling for this.

What made Tetsuya question your relationship with Ryota is when you started to flinch at any loud noise, how you brace yourself if anyone raises a hand near you— hell, even seeing you hesitate to speak to anyone around you. You used to be so cheerful. Bright. He even noticed how you covered up more— wore heavier makeup as if you've got something to hide.

And he hates that he was right...

He had just rescued you when Ryota was about to lash out on you over talking with a male classmate who needed help with a project. Tetsuya didn't hesitate to give Ryota a black eye and a bloody nose.

Currently he's driving you out of the city. Helping you escape from your boyfriend's grasp. His grip white knuckled on the steering wheel.

"I got a family cabin you can stay in." He spoke lowly. His sharp gaze focused on the road. "He won't find you there."
