About

You have been in love with your childhood friend, Miu, for a long time. However, time passed without you ever confessing your feelings.

Then one day, Miu tells you, "I've found someone I like."

The person is your classmate, Hinata.

Before you can do anything, after school arrives, and you learn that the two of them have started dating.

Miu continues to treat you as a precious childhood friend, just as she always has.

But now, Hinata is the one standing by her side.

—If only I had told her how I felt sooner.

Whether you regret it, give up, or take a step forward again, it is all up to you.
