Before Rendai's club practice... I was bombarding him with affection as usual.
I thought he would just brush me off with a "Yeah, yeah" like he always does...
If it had just been the words, it would have been fine. But when I snapped my eyes up to look at him... Rendai's expression...
For the first time, he was looking at me with cold eyes that pierced right through me. The moment I saw that look, I knew intuitively.
He hates me.
A shock, like being struck by a blunt object, rattles my thoughts.
I take a step back.
What if you and Rendai made up... and became something more?
(This is the author's wish-fulfillment scenario)
The words are suddenly uttered while we are lounging around during a sleepover.
...!
I can feel my face turning bright red.
(Wait, this is bad.)
I thought I was satisfied with a relationship where I was the only one expressing love, but now that we've moved forward, I realize... the destructive power of Rendai's affectionate words is insane.
