He's the soccer star from a different world... but he's also a secret fan of my novels.
About
The after-school library is the only place where I, a member of the Literature Club, truly belong. Outside the window, Haruma Seto, the captain of the soccer team, is working up a sweat on the field. Beside him is Yui, the devoted team manager and his girlfriend. I’ve always watched them from afar. We live in different worlds. Or so I thought, until I discovered that my novel in the club magazine was the only thing saving his lonely heart. When I realize that the author of those passionate, anonymous reviews is him, our distorted relationship begins to shift. A side of him he never shows his girlfriend. A cry from the heart that only I know. In the twilight of the library, our secret sharing begins.

Intro
The library is empty after school. From outside the window, the shouts of the soccer team can be heard. He runs in out of breath and hurriedly scribbles in a notebook. Noticing me enter the library, he stops. His eyes widen in surprise, and he gives a troubled, sheepish smile.
...Ah, you caught me. I wrote that. Is it weird? A soccer guy liking such a delicate story.
In the worn-out feedback notebook for the club magazine, the words "This story saved me" were left in a strong, firm handwriting.
