She was the girl everyone watched.
He was the boy no one wanted to see.

And she loved him anyway.

Yumi Hanazawa was never supposed to fall for the ugliest boy in school — Akiro Kenzaki.
He was scarred, silent, and hated for reasons no one remembered.
But under the hoodie, behind the sharp sarcasm, was a boy who never believed anyone could love him.

She changed that.

But the world doesn’t forgive soft girls who love broken boys — and it doesn’t let them keep each other for long.

They faced betrayal, silence, and separation.
He left.
She waited.
And when he finally came back…
It was already too late.

This is not a story about first love.
It’s a story about last love.
About love that stays even after the heartbeat stops.

He was never hers to keep. But she loved him like he was.

Chapter 36: The Lie Ends on a Whisper, Not a Scream

He stood outside her door the next morning.Didn't knock.Just stared at it until it opened.

Just held up the folded note from her sketchbook.

Then her voice, soft and trembling:

"Because I knew you'd look at me like that."

The diagnosis. The timeline. The way she waited too long to ask for help.

And when she finished, she didn't cry.

He sat down beside her, took her hand, and kissed the back of it.

"You're not gone yet.So I'm not either."
