"Okay. Just remember, I'm here for you."
-Alexis Ness

For the last five days, Y/n had noticed Michael avoiding her and Ness. He even stopped teasing Isagi like he did when they first met. His demeanor was unnervingly quiet.

"Michael's been acting strange," Y/n muttered to herself, scribbling down notes as she sat beside Noa, observing the boys during practice.

"Anything noteworthy today?" Noa asked, glancing at her notes.

"Yes," she replied, handing the notes to him. "Here are the observations and areas for improvement."

"Thank you, Y/n," Noa said, taking the pages. "You're done for the day."

"Thanks, Noa. I also left some additional notes on who needs extra help," she added before leaving to find Ness.

"Hey, Lex!" she called out, catching up to him. "You did really well during practice."

"Thanks, Y/n," Ness replied, though his smile was brief. "Have you seen Kaiser? He left so fast."

"Yeah, I noticed. He's been acting weird all week," she said, frowning. "I'm going to find him and see what's going on."

"Let me know what's wrong when you come back. I'll be waiting at your room," Ness told her, his concern mirroring hers.

"I will," she promised, determination setting in as she took off in search.

Y/n followed Michael from a distance, watching as he walked with an unusual heaviness. He made his way to another field, away from everyone else. Y/n hid in the shadows, watching as Michael took a ball and kicked it with such force that it deflated. She saw tears streaming down his face, and her heart broke at the sight.

Without thinking, she ran to him, wrapping her arms around his trembling form. "Micha baby, I missed you so much," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I love you. I'm sorry for everything."

Michael stiffened in her embrace, unable to meet her gaze. He pushed her away quickly. The weight of his shame and guilt was too much to bear. "Y/n," he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he wiped his face. "I can't do this anymore."

Her heart pounded in her chest, dread washing over. "What do you mean? Michael, look at me. Please." Her eyes grew wide, it can't be...

He finally met her eyes, his own filled with dull pain and self-loathing. "I want to break up," he said, his voice cold and rigid . "I can't be with you, it's driving me insane."

Y/n's world shattered at his words. "No, Micha , don't say that," she pleaded, her grip on him tightening. "Please, take it back. Tell me what I did wrong . I'm so sorry. I love you."
