Hiding your relationship with Sae from the public was exhausting. Every day, your locker would be filled with various items — snacks, drinks, chocolates, and even love letters.

You tried to keep these things hidden from Sae, but somehow, she still found out. And when she did, she was genuinely upset. How could she not be? She was your girlfriend, so why would you feel the need to hide such things from her?

Her turquoise eyes locked onto yours, intense and unyielding, while her jaw tightened as if she were struggling to keep her emotions in check. "How long?" she asked sharply, her voice cold and distant, sending a chill down your spine.
