Decent Place
Han was disappointed

Asuna came home from school with a heavy feeling. His heart was still injured from the matter with Rina, yet he felt that he did not want to go home to a quiet and tense house. Without a second thought, Asuna decides to go to Decent Place, an old building that only she and Han know.

He walked in a hasty step towards the building. Decent Place is located on the edge of the city, in an area that people rarely pass. When he got there, he was relieved to see that the building was still standing solidly as usual. He knew this was a place where he and Han often gathered and talked about everything.

Asuna went inside the building and went upstairs. He opened the door and entered the room that used to be the headquarters of the two of them. Outside it is still as it used to be, even though it has long been unused. Old wooden tables, vintage chairs, and graffiti-filled walls bear silent witnesses to the fond memories they shared.

Asuna pondered for a moment, reminiscing about the happy times with Han in this place. He felt homesick about their once close friendship. However, this time he did not want to talk about the matter of kissing with Josh to Han. He wants to stab

Asuna sat on one of the sofas, took a deep breath, and stared out the window that had not been opened for a long time. He felt a cool breeze coming in through the window, and it made him feel better. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to ponder and feel calm in a place that used to be so special for the two of them.

After a while, Asuna opened her eyes and smiled. She was feeling better now, although the matter with Rina was still not revealed. She felt grateful to Decent Place and the fond memories with Han that made her feel a little better.

Han descended the stairs slowly from the top floor of Decent Place and looked at Asuna who was sitting on the sofa. She felt her heart blossom when she saw Asuna's face, yet she also felt doubtful. Han thinks that Asuna already has a boyfriend, considering she has seen Asuna with other men before.

Han sighed deeply, trying to keep the boundaries. He did not want to ruin their friendship relationship with feelings of jealousy that might be unwarranted. Han knew that he was only a friend to Asuna, and that would not change.

Han approached Asuna with a friendly smile. "Hi, Asuna," greeted Han with a warm voice.

Asuna raised her head and welcomed Han's smile. "Hi, Han," he replied, but Han saw a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Han tried to start a light conversation with Asuna, avoiding the topic of their personal matters. They talk about everyday things, such as school, friends, and their interests. Han tried to keep his distance and not show his deeper feelings.

Asuna also felt there was tension between them, yet she was not sure what was happening. He felt Han was different, more cautious and kept his distance. Asuna wondered in her heart what had really happened, yet she did not want to pressure Han into telling a story

Asuna sat on one of the benches in Decent Place, but her feelings were a bit chaotic. Although he was chatting with Han as usual, he felt that something was wrong with Han. He felt Han tended to be colder and kept his distance from him.

"Han, what's going on? You feel different," Asuna asked in a worried tone.

Han looked at Asuna for a moment before replying in a somewhat flat voice, "It's okay, Asuna. I'm fine."

However, Asuna could feel a sense of incomprehension in Han's answer. He knew that Han was not as usual, and that made him anxious.

"God you know, Han, I'm here for you. I want to listen to you if there is any problem" Asuna said gently, trying to open the door of communication between them.

Han looked at Asuna with a mixed expression, between wanting to express his feelings and wanting to keep some distance. He knew he couldn't lie anymore.

“Asuna, actually I feel jealous,” finally Han expressed his feelings.

Asuna was shocked to hear the confession. He didn't think Han would admit it. He could see the look on Han's anxious and confused face.

"Jealous?Why, Han?" asked Asuna with a caring tone.

Han sighed. "I know that night, you were having dinner with another man, I still feel jealous. I'm afraid of losing you as my best friend."

Asuna felt compelled to hear Han's confession. He understands his feelings, but he wants to explain the situation with Josh.

"Han, I understand how you feel, but I want to explain about Josh. We're just friends, and we don't have romantic relationships anymore. I want you to know what really happened before you made a conclusion" Asuna explained sincerely

Han paused for a moment, then asked a question that made Asuna a little clumsy. "Asuna, I want to know, why did you and Josh have dinner together without telling me? I've never heard the story."

Asuna felt trapped in a difficult situation. He knew that he had to be honest with Han, but he was also worried about Han's reaction. He chose to speak carefully.

Han nodded, but still looked somewhat doubtful. "But why didn't you tell me earlier? I feel like there are things you're hiding from me."

Asuna held Han's hand gently. "I'm sorry, Han. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I just want to keep Josh and myself private, but I promise to be more open to you in the future. You're my best friend and I don't want to ruin our relationship by hiding something. "

Han grasped Asuna's hand gently, he still felt curious about what had happened at that time. "Asuna, I want to ask you again. Back then, when I met you, Dan, and Lina came home from school, you looked like you had a problem. However, you look like you're hiding it. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Asuna took a deep breath, pondering for a moment before speaking. He knew that he could no longer hide what was really happening at that moment from Han.

"Han, at that time there was a problem that I was facing. Josh and I had some problems in our relationship, and it made me anxious and worried. I didn't want to disturb or worry you, so I tried to hide it" Asuna said honestly.

Han looked at Asuna with sympathy. "I understand, Asuna. I know you want to protect me and not worry me. But as a friend, I want you to know that I'm always here for you if you want to talk or share your burdens. We support each other in joy and sorrow, right? "

Asuna smilingly nodded, feeling moved by the support given by Han. "Thank you, Han. I really appreciate it. I will remember your words and will be more open to friends in the face of problems in the future."

"Oh no matter what happened back then that made you have time to hide it from me" Han asked curiously.

Asuna was surprised to hear Han's question. He knew that if he was honest about kissing Josh, it could get Han away from him. He was confused and did not know what to answer.

Asuna looked at Han with a face full of doubt, trying to find the right words to answer Han's question. He wanted to remain honest with Han, but he was also afraid of the consequences of his honesty.

Han looked at Asuna's confused expression and gently grasped her hand. "Asuna, you know you can trust me, right? I'm here for you, no matter what. I want to know what's really going on, 'cause I care about you."

Asuna felt full of hearing Han's words. She knows that Han is her true friend and is always there for her. With a heavy heart, Asuna decided to speak honestly.

"Han, it was me and Josh, we kissed" Asuna said slowly, frightened by Han's reaction.

Han was shocked to hear Asuna's confession. He did not expect that answer, and he looked surprised at once. However, she immediately controlled her emotions and smiled gently at Asuna.

"Asuna, I appreciate your honesty. I know that you're having trouble with Josh, but that doesn't change our friendship. I'm still here for you, and I will always support you, regardless of what happens," Han said with a straightforward, flat gaze

Asuna saw Han leave with a confused and sad feeling. He feels that Han may be disappointed by the kiss Josh confession he gave. Asuna wanted to chase after Han, but she hesitated because she did not want to make the situation even more complicated.

Asuna sat alone in Decent Place, thinking about what had happened. He felt guilty for not speaking truthfully to Han from the start. She also confused feeling about Han's feelings towards her right now.

A few days passed and Han avoided Asuna. He did not contact her or talk to her as usual. Asuna felt increasingly anxious and yearned for their friendship that used to be so close.

One day, Asuna meets Han on the street and tries to talk to him. However, Han looked cold and kept his distance. Asuna felt increasingly confused and disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Han. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Asuna said in a shaken voice.

Han looked at Asuna with a flat face. "I know you didn't mean it that way, Asuna. But I feel so disappointed that you weren't honest with me in the first place. I need time to process everything."

Asuna felt heartbroken hearing Han's words. He realized how important honesty was in a relationship, and he regretted not speaking honestly to Han earlier. He wanted to mend their relationship, but he also understood that Han might need some time to feel better.

"I understand, Han. I'm so sorry and I want to fix our relationship. I promise to be more honest and transparent in front of her" Asuna said sincerely.

Han still looked doubtful, but he nodded. "All right, we'll see. But I need time to feel better, Asuna."

Asuna understood and respected Han's decision. Merely
