a/n: this chapter is 24 pages long according to quotev so I think I'm gonna dial back on long chapters for awhile lmao

also, Anikiri on quotev (anikiri._.6 on instagram!) made fanart for this story ft Gakushu and one of their OCs and it's super cute so I told them that I would include it in the last chapter and guess what I didn't bc i'm kind of dumb and i forgot :') so I'm adding it now

anyways, look at these cuties i love them so much 🥺💕 go look at Anikiri's instagram page and give their art some likes!!

Timid.



Soft-spoken.



Coy.



Those were words that could describe Yumiko Akamine. Well, at least Gakushu could describe her that way.



The rain outside of the venue began to pour down heavily once again. The weather seemed to be on and off again today.



"(Y/NNNNN)!!!"



Somehow, Kaede's scream was timed perfectly with a crash of thunder. Both Ren and (Y/N) flinched and whipped their heads over to the cry for help.



They both saw a wavy haired girl, extremely red with comical tears in her eyes.



"(Y/N)(Y/N)(Y/N)(Y/N)(Y/N)!" Kaede panicked while grabbing onto the (h/c) haired girl's shoulders.



"I left for two minutes," (Y/N) deadpanned.



"Are you alright, my dear?" Ren asked, with a hint of charm.



(Y/N) gave him another exasperated look, "Don't."



He shrugged in response.



(Y/N) then noticed something, "Hey, what's with the red string? That wasn't there befo-"



"SO YOU CAN SEE IT TOO?" Kaede sobbed loudly, "I'M NOT HALLUCINATING OKAY!"



(Y/N) deadpanned as Kaede's spit and tears landed on her face.



"Kaede... Please calm down..." She said, wiping her face with her sleeve.



"Okay okay..." Kaede sniffled, "I'm sorry. I was just caught so off-guard."



"Excuse me, I might be missing something. I don't see a red string?" Ren asked.



(Y/N) held up Kaede's left hand by her wrist, "You don't see this red string?"



It was a bright crimson, and trailed away towards the direction of the table she had left. It was very hard to miss.



"No, I don't see anything," Ren quizzically stared at them.



"Huh..." (Y/N) shrugged, "Must be some weird soulmate thing-- WAIT! OH MY GOD!"



"DO YOU SEE WHY I WAS PANICKING NOW?"



"YES?!" (Y/N) finally matched her energy, "Was it connected to Nagisa?"



"Mhm!" Kaede nodded, highly flustered, "I don't know what to do!"



"Ohhh," Ren beamed, "I understand now. Your soulmate thing is being able to see the Red String of Fate with your soulmate. How cute. And you're flustered because you're in love with that little blue haired boy."
