After Being Hated by 5T5

Weibo: @Jinjiang-WhyNotGiveUpTreatment

I'm 5t5's childhood friend.

I think we'll get married someday.

Though I know he's the strongest, while I'm just a little weakling.

That is, until I spent a whole month reminding him my birthday was coming up, only for him to do absolutely nothing when the day finally arrived.

Ugh, I'm so mad! What a jerk!

But I'm magnanimous enough to forgive him for one little mistake!

So I kept messaging him, sarcastically telling him what a busy man he was and demanding he show up within two hours, or I'd never speak to him again! Unless he sweet-talked me!

An hour later, he appeared in front of me.

His eyes held an unmistakable mix of disgust and impatience. “Had your tantrum yet? If you've got so much free time, why not stop being so useless? Could you quit throwing a fit all the time?”

I'm 5t5's childhood friend, though it seems to be a one-sided thing.

I've decided. I'll do as Lord 5t5 says and never bother him again!

Friends should keep the basic distance expected of ordinary friends!

.

I once thought that, for the sake of my own survival, any number of sacrifices were worthwhile.

Only later did I learn that everything in this world comes with a price.

A few notes:

1. 5t5 and the heroine have deep feelings for each other. Things said in anger by either of them may not be sincere.

2. First-person narration. Pairing: 5t5.

3. Set during the Net King's college years. There is a whole lot of plot.

4. Update schedule: once every one or two days. A traditional happy ending.

5. Both main characters need time to grow. Early on, the heroine doesn't think she's the same species as ordinary people and is indifferent to them. She is manipulated by Geto Suguru into harming ordinary people. Later, she will completely change her mind, face judgment, and pay the price. Please don't read if you can't accept this.

6. Replies to comments: I usually reply to comments on the latest chapter, but can't keep up with replies on older chapters. I also get scolded from time to time (.). Replying takes too much explaining, so I won't respond to comments on earlier chapters~ But I do read them all. P.S. I may delete comments that go too far.

The Days of Loving and Fighting with Echizen Ryoma

In the first decade or so of Sorayama Natsu's life, she learned one thing: no one would choose her wholeheartedly, not even her parents.

She was terrified of being abandoned, so she made a decision: before anyone could leave her, she would leave them first.

That's why, when Echizen Ryoma told her that if she wanted to team up with him in the next doubles match, she'd have to beat another girl, Sorayama Natsu understood that their feelings weren't equal.

After becoming Echizen Ryoma's partner, she never imagined teaming up with anyone but him.

But Echizen Ryoma had never thought his doubles partner would always be the same person.

Echizen Ryoma was playing tennis seriously and competing in tournaments. She understood and respected how important tennis was to him. In competitive sports, being bad is a sin.

But she didn't want to be one of the candidates in someone else's list of choices anymore. She didn't want to live every day in a state of anxious tension. She didn't want to be trapped in the mire of waiting to be replaced.

Waiting for someone else to decide was agonizing.

So Sorayama Natsu chose to walk away.
