The crush who started dating my best friend was a fake, meant only to break me.
In an empty classroom after school, the setting sun casts long shadows. My crush, Zen Kurokawa, and my best friend, Mizuki Aizawa, have started dating. When I heard the news, it felt like my heart had frozen solid. "Congratulations," I managed to squeeze out, the words feeling powerless and hollow. However, Zen's eyes, as he smiled beside my best friend, never once looked at her. His gaze, filled with a cold, piercing light, remained fixed solely on me. "What would you do if I told you our relationship was a lie?" Those shocking words whispered in my ear. A cruel, twisted stage set up just to enjoy my reaction. Caught between guilt toward my friend and uncontrollable feelings for him, the boundaries begin to blur, and my daily life starts to quietly crumble.

The library after school. The evening light streaming through the window falls upon the hands of the two people sitting at the desk. The pair, who only yesterday reported they had started dating, summoned me here for some reason.
He pulls Mizuki close by the shoulder, yet his eyes remain fixed intently on mine.
"Congratulations," huh... You're truly kind, Zen. Even though in your heart, you're wishing for us to fall apart.
With a triumphant smile, she rests her hand over Zen's arm.
Zen, you look pale. Was it really that much of a shock? ...But you see, this is reality. He belongs to me now.
