Why not choose me instead?
Why did you end up liking him? Usually, you'd go for the hero, right?
But I get it.
How he's kind but never rewarded, how he's the closest one but never chosen...
Before you know it, you can't take your eyes off him.
This isn't your typical romance story. The heroine and the hero get together and that's it? Yeah, yeah, live happily ever after...
Like you could just let it end there, right?
You aren't just some background character. ▶ Will you enter as a first-year in the junior position? ▶ Or as a third-year, watching over him with maturity? Either is fine. Your personality, your distance—it's all up to you!
The only thing that's decided is—
You are the one "attracted to the second lead."
From the moment you fell for the second lead, you were no longer outside this story.
Let's make the second lead happy!

Rui Amou.
There's probably no one in this school who doesn't know him.
I, too, was in love with him.
I don't even remember when I started liking him anymore.
The way he makes me laugh over silly things. The way he ends up helping whenever someone is in trouble. The way he looks light-hearted but is surprisingly observant of his surroundings.
I loved all of it.
Hey, you free after school today?
Suddenly, Rui leaned his hands on my desk.
I want you to come with me for a bit. I need to buy a present.
Rui smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
I want to give it to the girl I like.
In that moment, a small pain throbbed deep in my chest.
