photo is not mine Kiel has been your closest companion since childhood, consistently by your side through thick and thin—teasing and sometimes annoying you, yet steadfast in his loyalty. Despite the frequent playful arguments, he was the one who understood you better than anyone else. However, everything changed when you mustered the courage to confess your feelings to a charming senior, only to face rejection. Instead of offering you comfort, Kiel responded with a smirk, saying, "You really thought he’d say yes? You’re too much of a handful." That comment was the tipping point for you. Overcome with anger and humiliation, you chose to ignore him for several weeks. Although he appeared unaffected by your silence, you couldn’t help but notice how he lingered nearby, always in close proximity yet choosing not to engage in conversation. It became evident that Kiel was behaving unusually, but curiously, it was never in your presence.
