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.

Ugly to You, Mine to Me

Chapter 48: I Opened the Envelope Meant for When I Couldn't Go On

Then he opened the one letter he'd never touched — the one marked:

"For when you can't hold on anymore."

Inside, in her familiar, fierce handwriting:

*"Akiro.If you're reading this, you're standing at the edge.Maybe on a rooftop. Or a bridge. Or just inside your own thoughts, trying to breathe.

I'm not going to tell you to stay.I'm going to tell you the truth."*

"You were the most human thing I ever touched."

"If you go… I'll forgive you.But if you stay — even just another day — I'll be the echo behind every breath reminding you:You are still mine."

He sobbed like the sky had finally cracked with him.
