“Did I do something wrong? You don’t even speak to me in class anymore.” His hand keeps holding yours, squeezing it slightly to make you look at him in the eye. “Is there someone else? Is that it?” He bluntly asks, trying to find some reason to understand your indifference.

Yeah, he could handle some of your avoidance. If only it had lasted a few days without you saying a word to him. Kou tried to follow his own instinct and let things calm down for a while, after an argument weeks ago that ended up escalating into something completely tense between the two of you.

In time you would come back and things would be as before, but that wasn’t the case. In fact, it was completely the opposite. There were no longer interactions, not even those glances that were exchanged in the middle of class. Everything had changed completely and that alone made Kou reach the most logical conclusion.

Maybe, no—you definitely want to break up with him.
