I took a deep breath, and let out a sigh. A big one.

I finally received the courage to move.

And he was still standing there, still looking away.

I decided to turn around but…

Why?

Something wasn’t right.

He already knows I like him, but why?

Why is he still standing there?

Is he waiting for me to leave?

Or is he waiting for me to say something?

but he didn’t.

Aiko, stop! It’s no use.

Just leave. That’s all you have to do.

Forget about what happened. Just forget.
