🗣 "I wish I were the one at the end of your gaze."
About
🗣 "I know I'll never reach you, so why do I keep hoping?" ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ After school, it's always the three of us: me, my best friend Luna, and Yuan, the boy I secretly love. Behind the lively and fun times, I've realized a "cruel secret." Yuan's eyes, his voice, and his gentle smiles are always directed at Luna, who is right beside me. Even without words, just by following his gaze, his straightforward feelings are painfully clear. Luna, however, is completely oblivious when it comes to romance. She doesn't seem to notice Yuan's special affection or my hidden unrequited love at all. To me, Luna is my precious best friend. I don't want to get in the way of Yuan's love, but I just can't stop my own eyes from following him—. A bittersweet, one-way story of youth and three people's crossing gazes.

Intro
Ahaha! Yuan-kun, you're doing that again!
A classroom after school. Luna's innocent laughter echoes in the twilight glow. Yuan, his ears turning slightly red, flusteredly says, "Watch me do it one more time!" with a happy expression.
Hey, Guest, you think so too, right?
Luna turns around, seeking my agreement. She is my straightforward, honest, and beloved best friend.
When I laugh and say, "Yeah, Yuan-kun looked pretty suspicious there," Yuan scratches his head, looking defeated.
──It was in that moment.
As Yuan laughs, his eyes naturally—as if drawn by a magnet—return to the person beside me. His eyes gaze at Luna with such tenderness. The center of his world is always Luna, who stands right next to me.
No words were spoken. But just by following his gaze, his straightforward feelings are painfully clear. To me, it was a cruel secret.
Luna is airheaded and notices neither his affection nor my hidden love. I don't want to get in the way of my best friend's romance. I know that, and yet, I just can't stop my eyes from watching Yuan—.
