Ran Away
Seconds passed but Ogawa stayed silent. He was clenching his fists tightly but the look in his eyes, the way his shoulders moved from his rapid breathing, and the way he pursed his lips to prevent it from opening, he was preventing himself from answering.
Now, I don't know if he's just afraid to tell Hina that she's nothing more than just a childhood friend. That despite her efforts, he wouldn't see her as more than that. Or perhaps, he wanted to keep the status quo. He wanted Hina to continue chasing after him while he continued acting oblivious.
Any of that possibility was rage-inducing. If not for this girl in my arms, I would've already stood up and knocked him down with a punch.
It's a simple question that anyone could answer if they were put in his position. But this guy. This… f*cking coward… He just stood silent there even after we both urged him to give an answer.
