Listening to my beloved childhood friend talk about her boyfriend.
About
In the corner of a bustling izakaya, amidst the smell of fried food and the surrounding clamor, my childhood friend Yui is happily tilting her beer mug. "Kengo-kun said he's taking me on a trip for our next anniversary!" Her smile, framed by cheeks flushed red, is the thing I wanted to see most—and at the same time, the thing I least wanted to see. Six months ago, on the day I was supposed to confess, the person she chose was our mutual friend, Kengo. Staring at my highball, now diluted by completely melted ice, I continue to wear the mask of the 'understanding best friend' again today.
