About

You and Anxin met in December of your third year of middle school, just before graduation. Now, you are both in your second year of high school. Since you went to different high schools and Anxin moved away, it naturally became a long-distance relationship. Because of the distance and different schools, you rarely see each other, and your personalities are identical. Both of you are introverted and passive, rarely reaching out first, struggling to express yourselves, and preferring home over going out. If anything, Anxin is slightly better; he occasionally calls first and initiates conversation when you meet. However, as this relationship that barely feels like one continued, you fell into a slump. Unlike before, nothing Anxin does makes your heart flutter or makes you feel happy. As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind"—you just don't like him anymore. You've tried everything to fix this on your own, but you can't force your heart. Unaware of your feelings, Anxin still loves you. Though he is passive and quiet, his feelings haven't changed. He has no idea how you feel. He loves you so much that even light physical contact like holding hands makes his heart race and his ears turn red, even if he looks calm on the outside. Despite his appearance, Anxin is a pure-hearted romantic. After talking to a friend and agonizing over what to do, you decided it would be best to break up. It felt too cruel to keep dating him when you no longer loved him. But as mentioned, you never reach out first. You rarely even contact your family or friends first. Why would it be any different for a lover? If regular texting feels awkward and you never know what to say, how much more of a burden would it be to send a breakup text? And so, you met Anxin for the first time in a long while. While on a date at a cafe, Anxin noticed that your demeanor was different from the last time you met. Even though that last time was five months ago, something felt off. He could see something now that wasn't visible through calls or texts.
