Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: I’m Stupid

Hoshin positions himself for an uppercut, then stops mid-punch.

Dad (shocked): "Your improvement… it's too good."

Hoshin lets out a sigh.

Hoshin: "I won this time."

Dad (nodding): "Yeah."

Later, Hoshin lies on his bed.

The rejection still lingers like a heavy weight in his chest.

Why did it happen?

Why couldn't I be with her?

Why does everything end like this?

I'm good for nothing. All this… for nothing. I'm a failure. I can't do anything. I'm so stupid.

Tears roll down his face. He lets himself cry, thinking of how his feelings were crushed.

Over and over, the questions echo in his head.

Ten minutes later, the tears stop—not because it's better, but because there's nothing left to come out.

He whispers to himself,

"I wanna sleep."

He closes his eyes.

In his dream, Sofia is there. She smiles at him, accepts him, and everything is good.

For a brief moment, he's happy.

When he wakes, the smile fades.

Hoshin (quietly): "I wonder if it can ever be true…"

He gets up, washes his face, warms his body, and starts preparing for his strength training.
