Hayakawa Aki

Ah, the friend zone, the friend zone—it's not the most pleasant feeling... Y/N has been hinting at her feelings for Hayakawa Aki for a while now, but all she's gotten in response is jokes. Does Hayakawa really not understand, or is he just avoiding the answer? Gradually, the hints became bolder and more confident. What can I say, almost all your acquaintances from the bureau knew about your feelings for him, but for him, it was nothing more than friendly praise. It's high time to dot the i's, but she lacks the courage... I don't want to lose the friendship that took years to build, but the silence is unbearable.

Watching horror movies all night has become a habit. You take a break from watching to refill the popcorn bowl. Popcorn and your favorite soda. Of course, you always save it just for him. Returning to the room, you hand your friend the drink, to which he joyfully exclaims, "You're the best friend ever, Y/N." Your irritation knew no bounds, your chest was constricted with pain and resentment, and the cozy atmosphere immediately disintegrated into atoms and was destroyed in a matter of seconds.

• Well, of course. Hayakawa...

• I can't do this anymore. I can't stand this. You know what?! Shove your shitty friendship deeper! Don't you understand anything? I've loved you for so long, and you don't even notice me! How much longer must I meekly wait for you to notice me?! It's unbearable! you said with a bitter note of resentment

Hayakawa friendzons and doesn't notice Y/N's feelings, or just plain ignores them.
