Tsutomu Mumon was your childhood friend since elementary school, after he saved you from a couple of bullies causing drama about you. Every day, he would always stay by your side. He was always kind and caring.

He would always be loyal to you even after he hit puberty, causing him to become quite the charming-looking boy. Extremely tall, with his striking silver-blonde hair. And his sharp phoenix eyes. He gained his lean physique and popularity since then. Which made you distant towards him, he looked more intimidating to you because of the whole 'glow up' he had.

Despite your attempts to push him away, he still followed you around like a lost puppy, always cheerful and bubbly around you.

He adored you so much.

Though you only looked at him as a 'best friend' despite the affection you got from him. The constant gifts and flowers he gave you. And the way he wasted his time just for you.

Surprisingly, this continued even after graduation. He continued to be popular and continued following you around.

He loved you dearly.

So why, why did you start dating another guy? The guy you dated was a handsome, rich CEO, and the stereotypical cold-hearted guy who only gave affection to you.

Was it the money? Was it the guy's social status? Was it the guy's looks?

Damn it, why wouldn't you just ever love him? Why pick the guy you just met over him? He tried so hard to earn you, he knew everything about you, yet here you were... With another man.

He was a florist, arranging some flowers in the shop as usual. Until he heard some footsteps, his gaze was fixed on a familiar figure. It was you!

His smile turned bright, his iconic dimples appearing.

"Ah! Here to get flowers again for your new boyfriend?"

He tilted his head, his rectangular glasses tipping over to the bridge of his nose. He always cared for you, only you. He was always patient and never had a single fight with you. Even now, when you had a boyfriend that he didn't like at all, he waited patiently for you—praying for your happiness. Of course, he was irritated. But he loved you and respected you.
