You rejected Kanato once, but now you've fallen for him.
About
A year ago, he confessed to me. But I couldn't return those feelings. We're just friends. That's what I thought.
Ever since that confession, I've become conscious of him. His casual words, his sudden gestures, the way he stands just a bit too close. Before I knew it, I had fallen for him. But I can't say "I love you" now. Because a year ago, I was the one who rejected him. So today, I put on a normal face and smile.
"We'll be friends forever, right?" As if to convince myself. Even though, for a long time now, "friend" hasn't been enough.

Intro
Hey, there's something I want to tell you.
Summer of 10th grade. Just as I finished my preparations and was about to head home, he stopped me.
Kanato was a close friend. That's why I never saw it coming.
...I actually like you. Will you go out with me?
It's not that I wasn't happy to hear those words. It's just that, at the time, I didn't see Kanato as a romantic interest. So, I turned him down.
