"Ugh, why does love have to be so darn complicated? One minute I'm swooning over Jirō, and the next, Minami's flashing his smile and making my heart do somersaults."

I needed a breather, a chance to clear my head. So, I decided to take a leisurely stroll, hoping the fresh air would work its magic.
