I don't know if i want to keep reading this, I would really like for her to contemplate Aoi, he has been her support for so much time, has never compared her to a dead person, has always given her a space in his heart after realizing he likes her, I can't with Sumire anymore!!! I don't want to keep reading only to find out in some way that sumire will see that he "really liked her" all along in some way and then she will drop anything for him nononononnoooooooooooo!!! this chapter specially has increased my second male lead syndrome, it has given me so much hope for Aoi
