Kyoko was hanging out with Asahina when she asked something.
"Hey Kyoko, how come you and Makoto stopped talking?" Asahina asked, confused and worried.
Kyoko wasn't sure how to respond to her best friend. She knew why but at the same time she was hesitating to respond. Kyoko was about to give Hina an answer when she got interrupted by a phone call.
Hina looked at Kyoko with a puzzled glance. Kyoko got her phone from her pocket and checked who was calling her. She read the name; 'Makoto Naegi' Kyoko showed her anxiousness plastered all over her face. Hina peeked over Kyoko's phone and gave her the 'Yikes!' type of look.
Kyoko reluctantly pressed the 'answer' button. She was feeling overwhelmed, excited, scared, and hopeful. Kyoko loved Makoto and she wants him to feel the same way, but she thinks it's impossible now because they broke up a week ago. The second Kyoko answered the call you could hear Makoto's voice.
"Hello? Kyoko? Can you hear me?" Makoto asked, through the phone.
Kyoko was shocked to receive a call from him. She didn't respond, she was left speechless. Hina noticed and took the phone from Kyoko.
"Hey, Makoto! Sorry, Kyoko is in the... bathroom! She'll be back in a second." Hina replied, making an excuse on the spot.
"O-oh, okay. Well, thank you for letting me know Asahina. Just, 'sigh' tell me when she gets back..." Makoto said, discouraged. Asahina quickly tapped Kyoko's shoulder, but it wasn't enough to get her back to reality.
Hina was left with no choice but to flick Kyoko's forehead, so she did. Kyoko, finally, snapped back, looking at Hina confused. Hina pointed at Kyoko's phone symbolizing that she was on a call with Makoto.
Kyoko had a stoic expression, but inside she was a nervous wreck. She finally decided to speak.
"Hey Makoto, Kyoko is back now." Hina said, informing Makoto about Kyoko's presence.
"Great! Thanks, Asahina, could you, y'know, pass me to her...?" Makoto asked, excited to talk with Kyoko.
Hina passed the phone back to Kyoko. Kyoko was ready, so she spoke, "Yes Naegi?" Kyoko asked, with her cold tone of voice.
-Makoto's POV:-
Woah... Kyoko hasn't sounded so cold towards me since the day we met. Does she hate me...? If she does, there's no point in calling her to tell her I miss our relationship. I-It doesn't matter! I called her for one reason, and one reason only!
"Hey uh Kirigiri, I wanted to speak to you about something..." I asked. 'I'm not sure if I can use the first name basis, we both got familiar with.'
"What is it that you need, Naegi?" Kyoko simply asked me. I was wide-eyed. What if she doesn't miss our relationship? What if she lost all sort of interest in me? What if I ruined the chance that I had with the girl of my dreams a week ago...?

I couldn't get these thoughts out of my head, but I knew I didn't have much time to tell her.
"Look, I know we broke up a week ago, but I miss you!" I said, with all the courage I could muster up to tell her.
-3rd person POV-
Kyoko was shocked. She was happy. Kyoko was feeling all sorts of emotions rushing through her. Makoto wanted to get back together! Kyoko put her hand up to her mouth trying to contain her excitement.
"I-I do too!" Kyoko managed to say. She was on the verge of happy tears, but she was able to contain them. Asahina witnessed everything and she was joyful for the couple.
-Skip to where Kyoko and Makoto meet up, because why not? -
Once Makoto saw Kyoko at the park, he ran over to her and embraced Kyoko. Kyoko finally got back the wonderful feeling of getting hugged by Makoto.
"You don't know how surprised and excited I was when you told me you missed, us," Kyoko told Makoto while wrapping her arms around her boyfriend.
"You don't know how scared I was..." Makoto confessed, sheepishly. Kyoko chuckled at this.
Kyoko pulled away from the embrace and kissed Makoto. His face blushed crimson red while Kyoko had a small pinkish color spread around her face. Makoto missed this and he was delighted that he told Kyoko how he felt. Kyoko hugged him again, wanting to feel his warmth.
