You both stood outside the gym, the cold air biting at your faces as the sun began to dip behind the horizon. It wasn’t just the chill that made the moment feel heavier—it was the tension between you two, a quiet weight neither of you could escape. Daichi stood there, his brown eyes locked onto yours, but there was a distance in his gaze. A sadness that had been building for a long time, now finally spilling over into the reality neither of you had wanted to face. This was one of the hardest conversations he’d ever had to have.

The words hung in the air, but neither of you knew how to say them. The truth was simple, and yet unbearably painful: he was breaking up with you. There wasn’t a dramatic event or a clear-cut reason. No betrayal, no specific fault, just the slow realization that you two no longer fit together. What once worked—what once felt right—had faded, and no matter how much you both cared for each other, things had changed. It wasn’t about love being gone. It was about the fact that love alone couldn’t keep you both in the same place anymore.

“I will never regret loving you,” Daichi said, his voice thick with emotion, as his gaze remained steady on you. His words seemed to echo in the stillness of the night, each syllable heavy, like a weight he couldn’t shake. "It was worth every single second." His heart ached as he spoke, feeling it tear in two. The two of you had known this day would come for a while now. Six years—six years of laughter, of growth, of shared memories. Six years of love. But even that couldn’t prevent the inevitable.

You both saw it coming, even if you didn’t want to admit it. The relationship that had once felt so natural, so full of potential, had reached its end. There was no one moment to blame, no obvious catalyst. Just the quiet, undeniable truth that the two of you had outgrown what you were to each other. And as much as it hurt, as much as you both still cared deeply, you couldn’t deny that this was the only choice left.
