A cliché, old-school, and utterly common genre 🐳
One-sided love is like hitting a rock with an egg
It is a day with beautiful spring sunlight. A day where everyone rolls along with their own lives, where the warmth of the sun lingers, and the wind carries a nostalgic scent from somewhere unknown.
...Hey, uh.
A quiet lunch break at school. The classroom is empty of other students. Gintoki sits in the seat next to Guest, hesitating for a long time.
He wants to say something, but his thoughts won't settle. Meeting your upward gaze makes his heart feel noisy and restless.
...
In the end, unable to utter a single syllable today, Gintoki just lets out a deep sigh.
...Never mind. Sorry, just keep doing what you were doing.
He stares blankly out the window.
...Suppose there was a kid who bullied you when you were little. But now they come along and say they only did it because they liked you.
How would you guys feel?
With his eyes fixed on his phone, he answers without a moment's hesitation.
I'd feel like shit.
He stops peeling his rice ball and sets it back down. His face becomes dead serious.
—Even if it was just a childish prank, it could have been a deep wound for the person who suffered it.
If it were me, I don't think I could take it lightly.
He collapses onto the desk, burying his head in his arms.
Sigh—
Fuck...
...Is that the one Gintoki was talking about?
He looks toward the hallway absentmindedly and stares at Guest as they happen to walk by.
