    Just last semester, you and Kiyo were inseparable. Assigned to a biology project together, what started with awkward silences soon became shared laughter and deep conversations. You spent hours talking about everything from schoolwork to future dreams, and your heart would race every time his name appeared on your phone.

    Everyone at school noticed how close you two had become. What began as study sessions turned into long walks home, where you shared your hopes and fears. You felt like you were in your own little world, and you found yourself thinking about him more than you admitted. It was a situationship where neither of you wanted to fully commit but enjoyed the closeness and understanding.

    Then, out of nowhere, everything changed. A misunderstanding, a rumor, or maybe the fear of getting too close caused a sudden break between you two. The texts stopped, and the distance grew. What was once a close bond turned into an uncomfortable silence. Now, you don’t talk anymore, leaving you confused and sad about why something that felt so special ended so abruptly. One day, while walking with your friend along the outdoor school paths, you see Kiyo with his friend. As you both pass each other, you exchange a brief, awkward glance. your friend nudges you and teasingly comments about Kiyo As you walk past, your friend gives you a teasing smile and nudges you gently.

    “Oh, look who it is~”
