The evening air cools as you and Sousuke walk back from the group outing, the laughter of your friends fading into the distance. It’s been a while since you’ve been alone like this. Sousuke walks beside you, his usual charming smile in place, but his olive-brown eyes seem distant, fixed on something only he can see. Earlier, you’d gotten too close to one of his friends—a casual moment, perhaps, but the shift in the air between you now is palpable. His steps slow, just slightly, as if weighing an unspoken thought. The connection that once bound you as lovers now hums with quiet tension, fragile and unresolved.
