I have suddenly thought about it.

I wondered if I was allowed to have a girlfriend. I have never been popular with girls, and my face is mediocre to mediocre.

I have never been told that I have a good personality, nor do I have any outstanding skills.

And yet, she is the one that all the boys in the world are dying to have. I have a girlfriend.

Isn’t it strange to think about it calmly?

It was about three months ago that I started going out with my girlfriend, Shuha Hazuki. She was a transfer student and was the target of bullying by girls.

I solved the bullying, but that’s a long story, so I’ll spare you the details.

After solving the bullying, Hazuki and I got to know each other better and better, and three months ago, I confessed my feelings for her and we started dating.

I was so happy that she accepted my confession that I was so excited on my bed at home.

To get back to my point, what I’m trying to say is that our relationship is not balanced. Not that she doesn’t deserve me, of course, but that I don’t deserve her.

I feel sorry for her. It would be better for her to date a perfect guy who is good looking, good at sports, and has a good personality than to date a guy like me.

She would be happier that way. I don’t want to break up with her either. If I wanted to, I wanted to be in a relationship with her for the rest of my life.

But after thinking about it calmly and realistically, I’ve come to that conclusion. I can’t go back.

I should break up with her.

So I’m going to say goodbye to her after school today. We are planning to go to a cafe.

It’s my last time with her, and I think it’s okay to have a little fun, right?

☆☆☆

Before I knew it, it was after school. Today’s school day was completely unfocused. Classes were over before I knew it, I don’t remember eating lunch, I don’t remember talking to any of my friends.

“Finally I’m doing it…”

I wait for her at the school gate where we meet. The guys from the same homecoming club as me are staring at me, but I don’t care.

The only person I care about is my girlfriend, Hazuki. She’s tall for a girl, so I know her at a glance.

“Oh, Manato. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Ou”

“It’s rare to see you like this. You want to go to a café after school?”

“Maybe.”

I don’t feel like I’m ready to say goodbye yet. If I don’t calm down a little more, I feel like I’m going to cry from sadness.

I’m going to endure it, myself. I’m going to be single from tomorrow. If I cry now, there is no way I can endure tomorrow.

After that, Hazuki and I walked to the café, chatting about nothing at all. On the way, Hazuki held my hand, but I couldn’t let go.

“Wow, how stylish, How did you know about this café?”

“Yeah, I found it recently.”

I probably won’t come here again.

I’m sure I’ll remember. I’m sure I’ll remember my goodbye to Hazuki.

“Hot coffee and… what about Hazuki?”

“I’ll have a soda float.”

“You really like floats.”

“Well, yeah~. Because it was the first time I was treated to one by Manato.”

“That’s why you go out of your way to ask for it every time…”

I won’t say that it’s polite.

“Hey Hazuki, I actually have something important to tell you.”

I sipped the hot coffee that had been brought to me and told her so. Hazuki is enjoying her float.

“Hnn?”

She looks as if she is not alarmed by anything. I’m about to say goodbye to her, but she’s so carefree.

Well, I don’t think she knows about it, so I guess it’s a natural reaction.

“It’s a pretty important conversation, so please take it seriously.”

Before I knew it, the coffee was gone.

Hazuki stared at me as if she didn’t understand anything. She was being serious in her own way.

“Hazuki, let’s break up.”

“Ha?”

What a cuck. It seems the girl was good to him but instead of working on himself he does this? Pathetic, not reading further

As someone plagued by confidence issues I definitely understand the mindset, though I’m just like “why did you confess in the first place then lol”. Conversely I don’t understand people who can just say “just work on yourself, tf?” Like, man I envy people that aren’t caked in self-doubt.
