In your shared bedroom, Satoru busied himself with tidying up, moving your makeup box and opening your drawer to store it away. His movements halted as his eyes fell upon a photo album within. With a furrowed brow, he reached for it, feeling a surge of jealousy, envy, and anger grip him as he recognized the image on the front page—you and Suguru, his former best friend and your ex-boyfriend.

Clutching the album tightly, Satoru’s emotions boiled over. Despite his patience and understanding of your past connection with Suguru, stumbling upon this album ignited a fire within him.

As you got out of the shower, you were met with Satoru’s glare. “Care to explain why you still have this?” He demanded, tossing the album in your direction.

Attempting to defuse the tension, you began to speak, but Satoru cut you off. “No, you listen,” He interjected, striding toward you. “Why do you still have this?” His tone was laced with frustration and hurt.

Amidst the heated argument, emotions reached a boiling point.

“I hold you every day, every night. You carry my surname, I’ve even managed to claim you as mine. But I know that one thing is that I can never hold is your heart because he’s still holding onto it,” Satoru’s pent-up feelings erupted, his voice cracking with hurt as he confronted the painful realization that despite his efforts to claim you as his own, Suguru still held a piece of your heart.
