    Pining…

    To pine is to experience deep suffering, longing, or yearning for someone or something, often accompanied by sadness or grief. It implies a quiet emotional ache, often unrequited or long-term.

    Katsuki Bakugou has spent six years perfecting the art of pining. He has played the wingman, the rival, and the "brother," all while watching the woman he loves build a life with someone else. But when the engagement is finalized, the quiet ache turns into a deafening roar.

    “I think I’m getting cold feet, Bakugou. What if I’m making the wrong choice?”

    It’s a confession Ochako should have shared with anyone but him. Now, caught between the loyalty he owes his best friend and the desperate fire in his own chest, Katsuki has to decide: does he do the "right" thing? Or does the heart finally get what it wants?
