Chapter 6: Red String 

A week has passed since Yuu confessed his feelings to Ijuuin, and neither Kirishima nor Ijuuin contacted him for any project. 

Yuu goes on with his life, but everyday he would think about Ijuuin. 

'Ugh... How do I get him out of my head?!' he thought. 

He was watching TV, when suddenly the doorbell rang. 

He ran for the door hoping to see Ijuuin, but unfortunately, it was only the mailman delivering his bills. 

When he thanked the mailman and closed the door, he went back to the living room and sat on the couch. 

'Get it together, Yuu,' he scolded himself. 

A few minutes later the phone rang. 

"Hello. Yuu speaking," he greeted. 

"Hello... Yanase-kun..." 

He suddenly froze upon hearing the voice. 

"Ijuuin-sensei..." he said with a surprised tone. 

"Yanase... About last week..." Ijuuin paused, "I didn't know that you felt that way..." 

Yuu didn't know what to say; he felt anxious and nervous with where the conversation is going. 

"Yanase... I still like Misaki... What we did... It's just to help each other out, you know?... But I didn't realize that you've developed feelings for me..." 

With every word that Ijuuin says, Yuu's heart tightens. 

"I'm really sorry, Yuu..." Ijuuin apologized. 

"No..." Yuu finally said, "I'm sorry..." 

"I'm sorry I fell in love with you..."
