You’ve had feelings for Sanemi for a long time, but his feelings were always a mystery. You were often around him since you and his younger brother were close friends.

One evening, you finally confronted Sanemi to express your feelings. After a long conversation, things became tense and complicated between you two.

The next morning, Sanemi seemed distant, as if trying to push you away and maintain his usual stoic demeanor.

“You should consider being with someone closer to your own age,” he said firmly, clearly trying to set a boundary between you.
