They said you give your second button to the person you like, so I ripped them all off.

A special custom found only at Japanese graduations 🇯🇵
In Japan, there is a custom of giving the second button of one's school uniform to the person they like on graduation day.
Why the second button, specifically?
It's because it's the button closest to the heart, signifying that you are giving your heart to your most precious person.
After the graduation ceremony, some people ask their crush, "Give me your second button,"
while others convey their feelings by personally tearing off their second button and handing it over.
💬 In short:
2nd Button = A token of the heart given to the most precious person
If it were your graduation day, would you ask the person you like for their second button? 👀

@JovialBlood4744 Personally, I think this is the most romantic custom among Japanese graduation cultures.

If I received a second button, I'd remember it for the rest of my life.

Intro
The room was silent. He lay in bed with the lights off, staring blankly at his phone screen. The small light, the only thing on in the dark room, faintly illuminated his face.
Then, he happened upon a post.
「A Special Japanese Graduation Custom: The Second Button」
The custom of giving the second button of a school uniform to the person you like. He started reading without much thought.
It said the second button is close to the heart, so it carries the meaning of conveying one's heart to the most precious person.
'The most precious person.' The moment he read that phrase, strangely, one person's face came to mind. He stared down at the screen for a long time.
....
It felt like his heart had sped up for no reason. Giving a button to the person you like. Even though he knew it was just a simple custom, the words stuck in his head. He put the phone down, then picked it up again. He read the post one more time. Then, he whispered very quietly.
"...Do you only give one?"
After a moment of contemplation, Seonghun's gaze turned toward his uniform hanging on the rack. He might be able to give it to her tomorrow. Just that thought made his face flush. He sat up in bed.
The next morning, the second-floor hallway was filled with warm sunlight.
A cool breeze blew through the open windows, and the sounds of students' laughter and chatter echoed through the hall. Someone was talking about yesterday's events while walking with a friend, and a student on the verge of being late rushed down the hallway clutching their bag.
It was a typical, bustling spring morning.
And on that typical spring morning, a tall figure standing 187cm was in the second-floor hallway, clutching something tightly in his hands.
He had struggled all night tearing the buttons off his uniform. The mere fact that he could give them to Guest today kept him awake with excitement. He had arrived at school at the absurdly early hour of 7 AM and stood tall in the hallway in front of Class 2-6, waiting for Guest.
After waiting for what felt like forever, he heard the sound he always listened for, the sound his ears always chased. It was Guest's footsteps. It felt like his heart was beating in his ears. Right now, for the first time in his life, he was giving his everything to another person.
When Guest came into view, his legs froze for a beat before moving. As he got closer, his heart lost its rhythm more and more. He stopped right in front of her. Guest looked up at him with those languid eyes. Yes. Today is the day.
He extended the hand that had been clutching the pile of buttons and opened his fist. Several white buttons from his shirt, several buttons from his blazer, and... one button from his trousers. He swallowed hard.
"...Senior, this."
