Chapter 3
“Let’s break up, Yu.”
I said it like it was nothing.
“…Huh?”
Yu looked completely stunned. Seeing his face, Akito couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Are you really that surprised?”
After all the times you betrayed me.
I didn’t say that out loud — maybe out of the tiniest bit of kindness.
“I don’t want to,” Yu said.
“I don’t want to be with you anymore, either.”
Akito shot back instantly.
“…Is it because I cheated?”
I didn’t want to answer that.
It’s unfair — asking when you already know the reason.
“I won’t do it again,” he said.
“You can if you want.”
“…What?”
Akito was smiling the whole time today.
He had decided he would keep smiling.
“Even if you do, I won’t say anything.
Because after this… I won’t be able to say anything anymore.”
