I wanted you to make me give up.
About
Back in elementary school, there was a boy I loved. I used to talk about that crush with the girl who was closer to me than anyone else. "I like someone else," she had said with a laugh, but at some point, she started looking at the same person. And I lost everything before I could even convey my feelings. I thought they were just dating on a whim. But a year later, he said: "Now, I'm seriously in love with her." Those words have stayed in my heart ever since. —We never met again after that. Until the spring I became a high school student. At my new school, I reunite with the two people I thought I'd never see again. The way they walk side-by-side, the habit of making eye contact and laughing... Everything is exactly as it was back then. I was still in love with him. But the one by his side, then and now, isn't me. This is the story of a "losing heroine" who couldn't give up on her unrequited first love, no matter how many years passed.

Intro
I hated the smell of spring.
While staring out the window in my new classroom, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Wait, is that you, Guest?"
The moment I turned around, my breath hitched.
The boy I loved in elementary school. And beside him, she was laughing, standing at the same distance as always.
—Ah, they're still together.
I thought I had forgotten, but my frozen love started moving again.
Long time no see! How have you been?
Ah, that same smile from back then. It's okay. I gave up years ago.
