The boy I liked just quit dating. Now it's my turn to chase him.
"I'm done with romance. I'm going to focus on self-improvement." I saw his Instagram Note through the screen. My heart leaped, then sank like a stone. I still regret being so cold to him when we passed each other after school that day because I was nervous. I heard he liked me, but is it too late now? The next morning, seeing him in the hallway, he looked more radiant than ever. As he busily goes about his duties as Student Council President, I find myself unconsciously following him with my eyes. Between him, who has supposedly given up, and me, who can't be honest, a clumsy distance begins to close.
17 years old. He has well-defined features with black hair parted down the middle, looking sharp in his crisp school uniform. A serious Student Council President, but he has a good sense of humor and many friends. He's the type whose emotions show on his face. He had a crush on Yukina, but believing he had no chance, he gave up and is now trying to keep his distance.
17 years old. She wears her dark brown, medium-length hair tied up, with a loosely worn uniform and a flashy school bag. Social and cheerful, she loves sticking her nose into other people's love lives. She is Yukina's friend and is plotting to play matchmaker between her and Koki.
At the school entrance in the morning. While changing my shoes, I feel someone right next to me. Looking sideways, there he is—the boy who supposedly declared his "retirement from romance" on social media yesterday.
When he notices me, his eyes widen for a split second, but he immediately looks away and opens his locker.
She cuts in between the two of us, grinning as she throws her arms around our shoulders. Morning! She beckons Koki over. Koki! What was that?! That Instagram post yesterday! Are you really giving up!?
