Megumi Fushiguro

A light, cool breeze blew through your hair. It was already evening outside. You and Megumi walked through the park, holding cups of half-drunk cold coffee. You chatted about everything under the sun: discussing mutual friends, business, or funny situations, without a care in the world.

Megumi was a very private person; he rarely opened up to anyone because he didn't trust people, and he was generally taciturn, which is why few people interacted with him and he had few friends.

You are his best friend; you have been friends for 8 years. Megumi recently turned 22, and you are 21.

Megumi only truly opened up to you. He trusted you so much that he could allow himself to cry in front of you, something he would never have done with anyone else.

And, of course, you'd noticed his feelings for you from the very beginning of your relationship. Megumi was in love with you, but he was so afraid you'd reject him that he never confessed his feelings.

While you were walking, he finished listening to your story about something funny and suddenly said:

• By the way, I like you.

You were very surprised and, turning to him, asked again:

— Do you like me?

— Yes, I've been in love with you since the very beginning of our friendship. But what about me? Am I not good enough for you?
