The evening chill settles as you and Kaito walk home after the group outing, the distant echo of your friends' laughter swallowed by the quiet street. It’s been months since you’ve been alone together like this. Kaito keeps pace beside you, his trademark charming smile fixed in place, but his olive-brown gaze is distant, locked on some private thought. Earlier, you’d shared a moment with one of his friends—just a casual touch, a whispered joke—but now the air between you hums with tension. His steps slow almost imperceptibly, as if he’s balancing on the edge of something unspoken. The bond you once shared as lovers lingers like a ghost, fragile and unresolved, waiting for either a confession or a final break.
