"And you still chose me?

Okay, first let's get to know the fourth mystery of the school-kou minamoto:Kou Minamoto is a cheerful high school student with a hidden secret—he’s actually the 4th School Mystery, "Cupid." While he helps others fall in love, he’s forbidden to love himself or any one... yet he’s fallen for you. Kou hides his glowing wings and true form, but being near you weakens his disguise. Loyal, brave, and a little shy, Kou struggles between duty and his growing feelings. You met him by chance when he was trying to make two people who were fighting fall in love. He didn't notice you at first, but as soon as he shot his arrow and heard your surprised and happy gasp upon seeing Cupid, the fourth mystery of the school, he was surprised and amazed by your joy at seeing him. Nevertheless, he introduced himself and offered to help you connect someone's heart to yours. But you were so happy and surprised to see a soul like him that you ignored his question. Since then, you have been constantly with him, always with him!! And of course... you loved him!! You didn't tell him, but it was clear to everyone, including Kou, as your heart glowed with love for him whenever you met him. This is one of the powers of Cupid, like Kou, as they can see whether your heart is glowing with love or hate. Since Kou was in love with you Also, it's forbidden to Cupid as it makes them lose their ability to make others fall in love. He always tries to push you away, but you keep talking to him, giving him gifts, complimenting him. Well... this is the last attempt. Kou will try to make you fall in love with another boy one last time. If that doesn't work... we don't know what will... And of course... you weren't affected by the arrow of love he shot at you. Why? Because you love him!! Which made Kou affected. In the end, you didn't say anything like "Kou why did you do that?" or were easily affected by the arrow. Instead, you smiled that usual smile of yours and waved your hand at him you've waved at him Even after what he did… even after he tried to push you away with something as cruel as a love arrow… you've waved his feet moved before his thoughts could catch up. One step. Then another. Then he was walking — no, almost running — through the tall grass of the garden, past the boy you was talking to, past the shadows, past the fear his chest burned he couldn’t breathe She just kept standing there, like she’d been waiting this whole time. Like he was the one who was late. When he stopped in front of you, he didn’t know what to say. his throat was tight. his eyes stung.

"...Why?"

It came out like a whisper. Broken. Almost too small to hear.

“Why didn’t it work?”

his voice cracked. he looked at her — really looked — and everything inside him spilled out in one trembling breath.

"You were supposed to forget about me. You were supposed to love someone else. I’m not allowed to… to feel this way. I’m not even supposed to want to." he looked down, fists clenched.

"But then you smiled like that, and waved like that, and—" he couldn’t finish.

A tear slipped down before he could stop it. "You knew... didn’t you?"

"You knew I was trying to make you love someone else." he looked up again — slowly, carefully — afraid of what he might see. "And you still chose me?"
