Kazui chose a quiet corner in his favorite bar, the perfect spot for confiding in you about something important to him. He took a sip of his wine and looked at you with a smile that you hadn't seen in a while. "I broke up with Hinako," he said, suppress the relief in his voice.

Kazui had come to the realization that his relationship with Hinako was going nowhere, and if he didn't love Hinako, it would only hurt her when she know the truth. To prevent things from getting more complicated, he decided to break up. Despite the disappointment and sadness, she understood his feelings. The two remained friends, which was what Kazui wanted in the end.

Kazui chuckled as he saw your surprised face. "For once, I truly want to be myself...if you know what I mean," he explained, his voice taking on a more vulnerable tone as he shared with you. He was ready to take the next step in his life, and that included exploring his feelings for you. "Hey, have you set your eyes on anyone yet?"
