After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back

Chapter 159 Please, Help Me Save Her

"Rather than that, how did you end up coming here with Hina? Did you run into each other on the way?" Kagura Hikaru asked Kohinata Motoyo.

"Um..."

Kohinata Motoyo's smile faded a little as he glanced at Kiryu Hina sitting in front of him, who didn't even spare them a glance and continued to chat and laugh with someone else. His eyes were slightly shaded with sadness, "She still won't forgive me. That's understandable. If it were me on the receiving end of such a situation, I wouldn't forgive the other party either."

"Thinking you can reconcile with her is an impossible thought to begin with."

"Yeah... you're right."

"But don't you find that Hina's current state is quite abnormal?" Kagura Hikaru lowered his voice and added, "She's completely different from before."

"Of course I've noticed that, and the reason... I have a pretty good guess."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but I can't tell you—everyone but you, Kagura."

"Why not?"

"Secret~" Kohinata Motoyo said with a laugh as he playfully tapped Kagura's nose.

"..."

Blinding stares came from beside him, but Kagura Hikaru pretended not to see them.

He wasn't ready to confront Motoyo yet, even if he knew how to break up, it wasn't possible, at least not until the Student Council elections were over. The time wasn't right.

Until then, he had to keep playing the part.

So for now, he decided to use another matter to temporarily occupy Motoyo, to prevent her from noticing anything unusual.

Pretending to suggest a stroll outside before class started, he led Kohinata Motoyo up to the special classrooms on the upper floor.

It was quieter there, a good place for a private conversation.

However, Motoyo seemed to misunderstand something. After discovering that Kagura Hikaru had led her into an empty music classroom, she blushed while fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

"Goodness, I didn't expect you to be so impatient, Kagura. Well, it's fine, though it's not what I had in mind, but as long as it's with you, Kagura, I'm good anywhere," she said.

"?"

Kohinata Motoyo clicked the door lock and then walked over, trying to take off Kagura Hikaru's pants.

"Wait, wait, what are you doing?!" Kagura Hikaru cried out in an embarrassed voice, gripping his belt for the first time with such force.

"Eh? What am I doing?"

Kneeling before him, she was gripping his pant legs, looking up confusedly with eyes as pure as a baby's, "Aren't we going to do it here?"

Not pure at all! Where in the world is there a baby like this?!

"Stop, what are you thinking of on your own, some weird things!"

"Isn't that it?!"

"Why do you seem so disappointed?!"

"Um... who, who's disappointed, that's not it, I'm not that kind of frivolous girl, it's very rude, Mr. Kagura."

"I think you're getting all mixed up now..."

Kagura Hikaru watched helplessly as Motoyo, her face flushed, stood up and awkwardly pretended to fix her hair.

So, it's the same thing that teenagers—both boys and girls—are thinking about, even a girl like Motoyo.

Normally prim and elegant girls become desperate and reveal an indecorous side in the presence of boys they like; it's hard not to find them endearing.

But who would want their first time to be in a school music classroom? At least let it be in an off-campus love hotel!

Though two high school students in a love hotel is plenty strange as well.

"To get to the point," Kagura Hikaru shook his head, leaning on a desk in the music classroom, "I mentioned earlier that something was off with Hina, and you agreed, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Motoyo also leaned against the desk, looking over with a soft smile, "She has changed so much, absolutely a different person from before."

"In just one year, for her to change this much, it must be our fault, right?"

"...Yeah, mostly."

"So, I want to help her."

"You mean Hina?"

"Yes." Kagura Hikaru said seriously, "Her change is too drastic, and she's obviously forcing herself. Continuing like this, there's a risk of developing a psychological disorder."

Suse covered her mouth, looking down and feeling very upset.

She didn't doubt Kagura Hikaru's words.

If anything, it wasn't surprising.

Even though she didn't have knowledge in psychology or mental health care, sheer common sense had already allowed her to faintly realize that something was wrong with Hina.

In front of others, she clearly suppressed her emotions, and this was even more so when she faced Kohinata Motoyo, her facial expressions completely contradicting the emotions in her eyes.

It's rare for someone without a special reason to be able to hide their emotions to such an extent.

She used to be a person of strong character.

But now, she had completely softened.

Rather than softening, it was more like she had been smoothed out, transformed into a completely different shape.

More accurately... into Kohinata Motoyo herself.

"Hina's problem now is that she persists in disguising herself, forcing herself to wear a mask called 'perfection'," said Kagura Hikaru. "This mask is binding her, driving her towards what she believes to be perfection, completeness, flawlessness."

"That sounds like she's overdoing it..."

"Exactly."

"How can we help her?" Suse asked earnestly, holding her chest, "Just tell me whatever I can do, and I'll do it."

Kagura Hikaru looked at her for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to help Hina to please me, or to make it up to her?"

"Huh?"

Suse was stunned.

"I guess it's a bit of both... And even without these reasons, I would still choose to help. Hina is still my best friend."

"Even though you've turned against each other?"

"Yeah, that's right." Kohinata Motoyo smiled, came closer, hugged Kagura Hikaru, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "As long as it's not about you, I'll give her whatever she wants."

"If you say that to her in private, she'll probably want you to rip out your heart."

"Haha, that's not going to happen. My heart is reserved for loving you."

Kohinata Motoyo raised her head, resting her chin on Kagura Hikaru's shoulder, smiled up at him, then stretched her neck to give his cheek a kiss.

But Kagura Hikaru just looked at her expressionlessly.

The smile on Suse's face slowly faded, "Actually, it's not just Hina who has changed a lot, Kagura. And it's a pretty significant change."

"I know."

And he also knew the cure.

Just like the last time, while shopping with Ai Cheng Hua Lian, he inadvertently showed a smile.

As long as he was away from the sources of pressure like Hina and Suse, he might be able to heal at any time.

"Let's not talk about me for now; Hina's situation is clearly more serious," Kagura Hikaru didn't want to continue the topic, "You know about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, don't you?"

"Are you saying...?"

"Yes, Hina's symptoms clearly match it. If she keeps pushing herself, she may develop emotional cognitive disorders, personality dissociation, depression, and other mental illnesses. Hina is heading in that direction."

Kagura Hikaru looked at her and said the first sincere words since he had entered the classroom:

"Please, Suse, help me save her."
