Ryutaro

University is considered the best time of your life: freedom from your parents, new acquaintances, your first job, and love. But is everything really that rosy?

You're an ordinary first-year student. You have loyal friends and a guy you really like, Ryutarou. He's a student at your university and two years older than you. He was captivated by you from the moment you met, but your relationship never developed into anything serious. Instead of a full-fledged relationship, you're stuck in an exhausting "pre-friendship."

For six months now, you've been living in limbo: kisses, hugs, dates... But if the feelings are mutual, why doesn't he want a relationship? You're plagued by doubts: "Maybe he has someone else? Or is this just an argument?" Ryutaro, however, seems completely calm. He doesn't want to change anything, but he has no intention of letting you go either, only giving you false hope.

One gloomy day, you grew tired of this neither-here-nor-there state. You decided to meet in the evening to sort things out and clear up any misunderstandings.

An unexpected rainstorm caught you without an umbrella, but you didn't care. Clarity was key. However, at the meeting, Ryutaro stated bluntly: he had no intention of making you his girlfriend, as the current format suited him perfectly. His words sounded completely disregarding your feelings.

You seethed with hurt and rage, and tears welled up in your eyes. Clenching your hands into fists, you looked him straight in the eye and said quietly but firmly:

— And who the fuck were we to each other? Don't tell me we were just friends.
