Plot of the Story:

Akito believes he isn’t a bad person, but he knows he’s careless with feelings. That changes when he meets you, someone gentle and cautious who doesn’t react to him the way others do. Your lack of interest and your guarded behavior make him pay attention—and he starts noticing your habits, your silence, and the small ways you distance yourself. Over time, he realizes he genuinely likes you, especially when he feels a quiet jealousy seeing you laugh with someone else. When you begin distancing yourself even more, Akito becomes painfully aware of his own shortcomings and wants to change for the first time. The story culminates in a soft, tense moment in an empty classroom where he gathers the courage to ask if you ever think about “us,” only to panic and withdraw the question. Even so, the look in your eyes tells him you understand everything he didn’t say.
