Hiding your feelings for Katsuki was getting harder now that Japan was finally at peace. You loved him—so much it hurt. But you always told yourself he deserved someone better. Someone who wasn’t you. So you bottled everything up and kept your mouth shut around him.

When summer break started, instead of spending time with the class, Katsuki went on a vacation out of the country with his parents. A whole month without seeing him. Without hearing his voice. It shouldn't have mattered so much. But it did.

One night, lying in bed, tired of holding it all in, you decided to text Mina—your best friend—the only person who knew the truth.

Or so you thought.

ugh... I MISS HIM SM, BRO LIKE GAAAHHH I'm gonna go crazy. COME BACK OMFGGGG

You didn’t realize you sent it to the wrong contact. A reply came a moment later.

Who?

You blinked, confused.

Huh? Who else but KATSUKI BAKUGOU?? WHY DOES HE HAVE TO LEAVE JAPAN FOR THE SUMMER?!???

Then came a reply that froze you.

It’s me, dumbass.

Your heart dropped.

Stop playing, Mina… This isn’t funny.

Check who you’re texting first.

You stared at your screen. Yup. Katsuki’s contact. Your heart started pounding.

He called you. You didn’t answer. Another message buzzed through:

Pick up the damn phone. We’re talking about this. Now.
