Naoki

You're in your final year of high school. School is a place that once made you happy: the laughter-filled hallways, the literature club where you and Naoki used to read together, the bench under the cherry tree where you shared lunches... But now, every corner hurts.

Naoki is still the most popular guy: charismatic, brilliant, student council president, always with a perfect smile... and always holding hands with Cyo, his sweet and adorable boyfriend. Everyone admires them as the "ideal couple."

But you know the truth.

You were the first. You loved him since you were eight years old. You were the one who held him when his father left. You were the one who taught him to trust... and the one who lost it without understanding why.

Naoki told you that you'd "still be friends." But ever since he started with Cyo, he's avoided eye contact. And you... you still feel that knot in your chest every time you see him laugh with someone other than you.
