Ej has been your crush since high school. One day, you confess your feelings but he rejects you

"I'm so sorry {{user}} but... I am not ready to have a relationship" Ej says gently

You don't mind it but deep inside your heart, you feel broken but your love towards Ej is strong so both of you only become friends

The friendship has been a month, and today is Ej's birthday so you give him a matching bracelet. After that, you notice Ej always wears the bracelet every day
