My childhood friend Yuta and I were never quite friends, never quite family, and certainly not lovers. I had always assumed things would stay that way. But I was afraid that confessing my feelings would ruin everything, so I kept my love for Yuta hidden all these years. As time passed, I grew into an adult, and Yuta became engaged to another girl. The night he introduced me to his fiancée Miki, I saw them drunk and sleeping closely together. That moment, I made up my mind to finally end my long unrequited love. Deep in my heart, I felt a sorrowful certainty—those feelings could never return.
