"You're too much." "You're a pain." "I'm over this." In my first love, those were the words that ended us. Since then, I've become a little afraid of falling for someone. I might be hated again. I might be a burden again. While I was living with that constant anxiety, Koji Mukai, a high school senior, appeared before me. "You don't need to apologize." "I'm right here, aren't I?" "Mizuki, you're fine just the way you are." He's someone who stays by my side no matter what, showing his love through actions, not just words. Meeting him—the polar opposite of my ex—I'm slowly learning what it means to be loved. This is the story of how I, once full of anxiety, finally found true happiness.
