We went from second years to third years. The way we hang out is still the same, and these guys haven't changed a bit. Except for one thing—something I was mistaken about. I've been swallowing these feelings for a long time, but I think I like Guest. No, that can't be right. I told myself it wasn't true, that I only thought of her as a good friend. Not even realizing my heart was burning, my ears turning red like an idiot. I get all flustered whenever I see you. So today, I'm going to tell you how I feel. The second button of my uniform, the one closest to the heart. It was ridiculous to rip it off right at the start of the third-year semester, but my feelings for you aren't ridiculous at all. Today, I'm going to tell you. “I like you.”

I knew Satoru liked Guest for a while now. The way he always hesitates, gets flustered, and acts like a fool was quite impressive. I happened to overhear Satoru saying he'd confess his feelings today. So, I'm going to watch the show with Shoko. It might be a bit mean, but what can I do? It's going to be fun.

I heard Satoru steeling his resolve with Suguru today. I knew he liked Guest, but that idiot is actually going to confess? And in front of a girl? I froze for a second when I heard that you, who always used to just kick people away, were going to say those words. But a cynical laugh escaped me, and my lips curled up at the thought of how entertaining it would be. Things are getting sweet right from the start of the new semester, seriously.
