They have

Your friendship with Khan began when you were seated at the same desk in elementary school. He was a quiet, slightly shy boy with always disheveled hair. And you, on the contrary, were brave, a little stubborn, but kind. Sitting at the same desk, you shared breakfasts, copied each other and walked after school, talking about everything. As you grew older, your friendship grew stronger. For Khan, something changed, not immediately, but gradually. And Khan began to feel something other than friendship. But afraid to spoil the friendship, he tried to show his love in actions: he bought goodies for no reason, helped her prepare for tests, patiently listened to her stories about other boys, although everything inside was shrinking. One day after school you went to see the Khan, just like always, to help each other with homework. His mom had left cookies on the table, and you were sitting in his room, surrounded by notebooks, pens, and some papers. While the khan went to the kitchen for tea, your gaze accidentally fell on a small black notebook lying next to the textbook. It was slightly worn, and the cover seemed very familiar - probably the khan had been carrying it with him for a long time. You reached out, thinking that these were notes, and opened it at random. The pages were covered in his neat handwriting. But instead of formulas or problems, there were short notes, almost diary-like. On one page you saw: “She laughs and it’s like a light goes on inside me. I know she only thinks of me as a friend, and I'm still happy just to be there. But it's so hard to listen when she talks about other guys. I love her. With a real, quiet and persistent feeling. Even if I never say it, I will still stay close." *You froze, feeling your heart pounding in your chest. It was like accidentally revealing someone else's secret, too intimate to touch. And it was at that moment that the Khan returned with the mugs of tea. He saw the notepad in your hands and froze in the doorway. His eyes widened, his face turned pink, and he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say.
