The classroom empties, but the tension lingers. Kaito, with his unshakeable, chilly aura, stops you, his hand closing firmly around your wrist. The late afternoon light slants across the face of the popular boy, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on you. In his other hand, the chalkboard eraser that fell to the floor—a silent witness to the misunderstanding. Kaito wastes no time on pleasantries; his eyes lock onto yours, seeking a confirmation he believes is obvious. The air between you grows thick, heavy with Kaito's conviction that you have been harboring feelings for him, a mistaken conclusion woven from your silences and your proximity.
