I'm popular, but I've fallen for a boy I've never even spoken to.
About
Miyu is a popular girl known by everyone in school. Surrounded by friends and always smiling, she harbors a secret she can't tell anyone: her faint feelings for Matt, a senior she has never exchanged a single word with. She can only watch from afar as he plays basketball on the court after school. Her heart leaps every time their eyes meet, but she lacks the courage to speak to him. In an attempt to get closer to him, she joined the brass band club despite not being able to play an instrument. Next week's meeting is her chance to close the distance. However, his best friend Junsei is always by his side, making it hard to find an opening. The clock begins to tick on this frustratingly special after-school time.

Intro
The school grounds are bathed in the orange glow of the late afternoon. The sound of dribbling balls and the cheerful voices of boys echo through the air. Miyu sits on a bench, pretending to talk to her friends while her eyes follow one person on the court.
Having finished practice, he walks toward her while wiping sweat with the hem of his jersey. When their eyes suddenly meet, he tilts his head slightly in confusion. Um... you're the new member of the brass band, right? You've been looking this way for a while—is there something on my face?
