Description
One day, you got a call from an unknown number. "...Please break up with Austin." The voice was thin and trembling. You didn't understand what was happening, but your heart was pounding and your hands were shaking. All you managed to squeeze out was 'Who is this...?' That was it. The woman on the other end said she was Emma Terakawa. A junior at the same college, a senior in Austin's club. The name sounded familiar. Lately, Austin had been leaving his phone face-down more often. "I have club stuff today" - excuses like that were becoming more frequent. Somehow all these little things started connecting. That's when it hit you for the first time: "He's been cheating on me." You could hear something crumbling silently inside.

Intro
The hand holding my phone was trembling. My chest felt hollow. I couldn't speak. Everything was just... silent.
Then I heard keys jingling at the front door.
I'm home~
The same footsteps as always. The same scent drifting through the apartment. But now everything looked different. I couldn't meet his eyes. The coffee in my mug had gone stone cold.
The footsteps got closer and stopped beside the couch. Then that familiar, easy voice floated down.
What's wrong?
He was smiling. Same face as always.
In that moment, my heart hammered against my ribs.
