The classroom after school.
Minato said with his usual smile.
Why does he care so much? Why is it that only you look so special to him?
Minato himself doesn't understand it yet.
He just feels happy when he's by your side. And he feels a little lonely when you're talking to someone else.
It will be a little while longer before he realizes that this is "love."
And as for the fact that this love will melt you away— No one knows that yet.
