Why does he have that expression?
I don’t get it, what is he not telling me?
Or rather, what could he not tell me that day?
“I’m moving after this summer ends,”
What? --- that was all I could muster up, a quiet whisper.
“So I can’t… this thing between us, it won’t work.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Baka,” again, he did his signature forehead push.
“I told you I tried to, but you looked like you were about to cry that day,
so I didn’t want to say anything.
But then after you calmed down, you ran away from me.”
I turned beet red,
it was embarrassing to remember that day.
I barely even remember it, did I really run away?
though I don’t remember anything else apart from Hatori hugging me.
“S-Sorry,”
“What do you mean sorry?
You then went on to ignore me the rest of the year,
even through the first half of summer.”
Ah, I made him mad.
