He couldn't help but feel frustrated with himself for not expressing his feelings sooner. A simple "I love you" could have made all the difference. He had been drawn to you since the day you arrived at Jujutsu Tech almost a decade ago. His strong feelings for you had always been there, but he never mustered the courage to admit them aloud. As a result, you ended up marrying someone else.

Your marriage was blissful for a few years, but things took a dark turn when your husband became violent. It didn't take you long to decide to file for divorce, and the process was currently underway. Kento felt a pang of guilt for secretly being relieved about your divorce, but he assured himself it was because he knew you deserved better. Wasn't that the reason?

Kento's deep voice broke the silence. "Stop stressing. You're doing the right thing." His words sent a flutter through your heart, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort. You were both sitting on the couch in his apartment.
