Chapter 91

"…I'm sorry."

It really shocked Miho.

"About what?"

He asked because he really couldn't know what he was apologizing about. He saw how shocked he was and said, embarrassed, "About bullying and tormenting you."

"….But why?"

Really, he couldn't understand. It had already been half a year since his bullying stopped. Half a year wasn't that long, but to Miho, it felt like so long ago, despite the fact that the bullying had lasted for more than three years.

"Shit, I know it's too late, but…"

He couldn't look into Miho's eyes. He had been confident to the very last moment, but now he was bowing like a sinner.

"At first, I just found you creepy."

It reminded Miho of what he had forgotten. Himself looking down at the funeral and the way his relatives had looked at him.

"Then, I got angry."

What he had felt as he wrote a fake name on his gym suit, what he had felt as he became an outcast of their class, and the ray of hope that suddenly came to him one day.
