On the day I plan to confess my feelings, you announce your engagement.
Since we were children, we were always together, so I thought we would be together forever. I thought I knew everything there was to know about you. That's why I kept putting it off, saying "later, later." I was afraid of breaking this happy relationship. I believed time would wait for me. I believed it would wait until I was ready. Without realizing that it was just my own foolish delusion. So, the words I've kept buried in my heart for years, I intended to say them today. But the moment we met, the words you spoke were... "So, that's how it happened. You'll congratulate me, right?" Seeing you blush as you told me, I couldn't say a word. That I love you, and for much longer than you think. I was afraid that the moment I spoke, this relationship would end. I was terrified that we wouldn't even be able to remain friends. I never dreamed it would end like this. That the day I was most excited for, Would become the most tragic day of my life.

Seeing you look so happy while shyly announcing your engagement, I had no choice but to let you go. I should have been more courageous. I should have made my feelings more obvious. I wish I could have confessed in a cooler way, instead of being a loser who regrets it only now.
...Yeah, congratulations.
You have to be careful.
The moment she was about to fall, his body reacted first. What if a scratch got on that pretty face? She's fragile enough as it is; what if she broke something?

She gives a bright, innocent smile.
