BREAKING HEARTS

After making sure Vino was okay, I returned right away, Seina said as she composed herself. I'm sorry, Lan.

Elan wasn't in Seina's class when she rushed to get to class and sought him.

"Where is Vino, Jen?"  Jenny was the target of Seina's yell.

Jenny stated, "I was out with Elina."

"Oh, I'm grateful."

Seina searched for Vino but was unable to locate her. Seina's thoughts were still filled with doubts about Vino's ability to be so near to Elina. He is aware that Vino and Elina are not very close and that Vino himself prefers to avoid spending time with Elina.

I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it. Even after searching every inch of the school, Elina and Vino are still missing.

"Who are you two? I'd like to meet you, Vin," Seina complained.

Before Seina looked through the park, canteen, and library. Seina felt exhausted and extremely thirsty while searching for her in the park, her sweat flowing from the extreme heat.

Seina leaned back in her chair and looked up; she had found what she was looking for; Elina and Vino were on the roof above a location she wasn't accustomed to exploring. Seina only observes Elina and Vino conversing up there; she has no idea what else is up there.

Even though Seina's clothing is getting soaked from perspiration, she continues to run because she still wants to meet Vino and find out how he is doing.

"Bush it's so far to the top level," says Seina as she runs.

Seina looks at the ascending stairs; there are so many of them, getting there must have required a lot of effort. Despite only being a few floors, Seina breathlessly paused her movements. Her energy had already been depleted since she had already circled the area once before.

"Okay Sey, there are still five stairs," Seina halted for a little minute before mumbling under her breath.

Even though she was exhausted and thirsty, Seina attempted to ascend until she reached the top, where she found a door, which she opened. Seina moved gently and noticed Elina and Vino sharing a kiss as she approached the door. Seina's heart hurt terribly and ached. Seina unintentionally shed some tears. Even though Seina wasn't dating Vino, seeing Elina and Vino acting more like a couple made Seina sad. Vino easily couldn't believe he kissed Elina, who was not familiar at all, and his legs felt tight to walk.

Seina muttered, "Vin."

Seina was transfixed and had tears in his eyes as Vino peered in his direction. Vino was taken aback because he hadn't anticipated Seina's presence, and Elina felt embarrassed approaching Seina. Seina moved backward as Elina made a step forward.

"Sey, I. .." Elina's voice sounded shaky and slurred.

Vino tried to approach Seina but she nearly vanished from their line of sight as his gaze wandered.

"As it turns out, you guys are, "That's enough!" In shock, Seina yelled.

Elina was unable to understand why Seina was so irrationally furious when she knew that she had no feelings for Vino and only liked Elan. Seina was still crying and her voice was quivering and wailing. Elan is well aware of how Seina causes Elina to turn to Vino.

Even if Elina is aware that Vino doesn't yet like him and the kiss that occurs is only a miscommunication, it nevertheless happens.

Vino follows Seina as she descends the steps quickly.

**Flashback

Vino, who is standing and watching Seina and Elan go, feels like a useless man when Elina approaches.

Elina tried to talk to Vino, but he resisted and instead walked to the roof to cheer himself up. Elina secretly followed him there.

Elina yelled "Vin," moving in closer to Vino.

Vino remained still, didn't glance at Elina, and was unaffected by her voice.

"Are you okay, Vin? I am aware that you dislike me. However, you are at least fine, right? "Elina yelled.

Vino struggled to talk until Elina ultimately convinced him to do so.

"You know I don't even like to talk to you," I said. Vino remarked carelessly.

"Yes, but at least you're acting normally; please don't be so silent. You appear weaker; it's almost like it's not you."

Vino yelled, "You don't have to get involved, Na."

"Yes, I don't want to get in the way, but I do want to make sure everything is going on as usual. To ensure that you are like the Vino who didn't stand motionless in the previous instance," Elina remarked.

What are you aware of me? Vino was becoming increasingly irate when Elina finally decided to kiss his lips in an attempt to calm him down. Vino was startled and remained awake until Vino was shocked beyond comprehension.

Even though he was startled, Vino refused to release go of Elina as she kissed him while shutting his eyes; instead, he remained silent and did not do so.

Up until that point, they were unaware that Seina was already present, witnessing Vino and Elina kiss. Vino lost his composure and was devastated to watch Seina sobbing vehemently.

***

When Seina stopped in the restroom for ladies, Vino pursued her. Seina was still sobbing in there, and Vino understood very well that Seina needed his support. He didn't dare to say anything else.

Seina completed washing her face with water while still maintaining eye contact with the outside of the toilet. Vino noticed that Seina's hair was still damp and that she had done this to cover up the remnants of her tear-stained eyes.

Vino uttered "Sey."

Seina is currently going silent and ignoring him; he even passed Vino without batting an eye.

Seina didn't use a tissue to wipe the water off her face or hair; instead, she allowed it to drip from her hair.

Vino sprinted to stop Seina and shouted, "Sey. I implore you to misinterpret."

Seina's eyes were still red as she stared at Elan with a dejected expression on her face. "I'm sure. I'm beginning to enjoy you. You and Elina, nevertheless" Seina began to speak while sobbing and was unable to finish.

Vino was rendered helpless and felt even more terrible by Seina's cruel and taunting speech.

Vino said, "Don't cry Sey, I'm sorry."

Vino tried to comfort Seina with words, but they were ineffective; Seina brushed away her tears and made a forced grin at Vino.

"But I give you more thought. Additionally, I'm unsure with my hurting heart," She yelled.

Vino remarked, "I thought you liked Elan."

"Yes, I used to like Elan, but I'm not sure now that you've changed your mind about him." Seina was still having trouble keeping her emotions under control. Vino attempted to hug Seina, but she adamantly declined.
