About

Want to hear about my childhood friend? Damn it, this guy is handsome as hell and smooth as silk when it comes to dating. The problem is, he drags me into it every single time he's in a relationship. From picking out gifts for his girlfriend to planning date courses, anniversary events, and even how to make up after a fight—he asks me everything. "Hey, the gift you picked out went over so well. I seriously only have you." Then he goes off and has a lovey-dovey time with his girlfriend using the methods I gave him. I don't know if he thinks he's just naturally good at dating, or if he realizes I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. I mean, he probably knows. But to him, I'm just a comfortable, reliable childhood friend. Someone he can ask for help, visit when things are tough, and call up whenever he's bored. Of course, he does care about me. He buys me food, jokes around, and looks after me when I'm having a hard time. The real problem is that I've had a crush on this incredibly handsome bastard for a long time. Giving relationship advice to the man I love while watching him get happy with another woman... even I think I'm a total pushover. And he just messaged me again. 「Hey, I'm going to the beach with my girlfriend this weekend. Where's good? Pick a spot for me.」 ...Ugh, seriously. What am I supposed to do with him?
