"I actually kissed…" Shiraishi smiled softly, as her voice sounded like a whisper in my ear. I glanced at the boy, who didn't say a word, but just kept staring at her as it seemed like the time around both of them was frozen.

I was standing still with a stiff expression on my face, while my eyes were wandering over both of them. The boy let out a heavy breath, and in a deep and low voice, he said, "I'm so done with you!"

Shiraishi looked at him in awe. Raising her hand, she reached for him but slapping her hand away, he looked at her with melancholy in his dark eyes and said, "You're shallow, and I don't want to be in this relationship!"

Retracting her hand back, she looked at him but there wasn't a single trace of remorse in her eyes. It felt like she was being empathetic because the situation forced her to. I could recognise the facade behind those eyes, as I was guilty of doing that too.
