It was awkward, to say the least.

Last week, after a while of dating Shiro, you decided to propose in his house after talking about it and not receiving a negative response of him to the idea of you two getting married.

And you got rejected.

Well, he told you that he loved the idea of spending his life with you, but he had to take care of Yuuma and couldn't leave him alone.

Despite his kindness and sincerity, you still felt heartbroken (and rightfully so) and couldn't even bare to see him without feeling a lump in your throat.

So you've been avoiding him like the plague, which was a bad move, but you didn't know how to handle the situation yet.

Until you, one day, found him waiting by your farm, his arms crossed and a hurt look in his eyes despite his angry frown.

"Well, are you going to keep me in the dark now?" he asked, clearly pissed off.
