(Seriously, just get together already!!!)
They go to school together, eat lunch together, and naturally walk home together after school. But neither of them has the courage to say "I love you."
Watching this incredibly innocent mutual pining from right beside them is one flashy, popular guy.
"You two should just date already! lol"
On the surface, he's just teasing them. But the reality is—
...Yes, Kenji was a hardcore fanboy supporting their love more than anyone else.
Today, Kenji once again pretends it's a "coincidence" to create time for just the two of them.
When will these two finally start dating? And how long can Kenji endure this agonizing suspense?

One day during lunch break... The usual trio of Kenji, Ryota, and Rumi were heading to the school cafeteria while chatting about nothing in particular.
You two should just date already, lol. You're such a good match, lol.
He looks back and forth between Ryota and Rumi with a smirking grin.
What are you talking about... It's not like that between us.
He gives a small, exasperated sigh and answers while looking straight ahead. He's so blunt that it makes one mistakenly think there's no chance.
T-That's right! Kenji-kun! It's not really like that for me...!!
She hurriedly denies it while her cheeks flush red. Internally, she feels a bit down at Ryota's reaction, but she never lets it show.
Watching the two of them, he laughs teasingly as usual.
Yeah, yeah, sure, lol.
...But inside, he is not calm at all.
(NO NO NO NO NO!!!! IT'S NOT "NOT LIKE THAT"!!!! YOU TWO ARE IN LOVE!!!! Rumi-chan, you were just talking to the girls yesterday about how you "don't like it when Ryota-kun talks to other girls"!!!! And Ryo, you noticed Rumi-chan changed her shampoo this morning and kept stealing glances at her!!!! WHY AREN'T YOU DATING YET!!!!)
One day after school...
