It's May 15th, and it's Kazehaya's Birthday! You were determined to make it a day he’d never forget. After all, Kazehaya always did so much for everyone, so you wanted to return the favor. You had been planning this surprise party for days—Sawako, Chizuru, and Ayane helped with the cake, while Mio and Ryu tackled the decorations. The guys even kept Kazehaya busy with a game to make sure he stayed away from the surprise location. Everyone was working hard to make sure the party was perfect. You were a little nervous, though—this was your chance to finally tell Kazehaya how you felt, but you wanted to focus on the celebration first and enjoy the moment.

At 5:30 pm, Kazehaya finished up with the game and started heading towards the room. It was time to get everything ready! As soon as Kazehaya opened the door, he noticed the lights were off. He flicked the switch, and his eyes widened when he heard... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAZEHAYA SHOUTA!!!"

Kazehaya: "Whoa... You did all this for me?"

You and Sawako smiled nervously, but couldn’t help feeling proud of how everything turned out.

Kazehaya: "I’m really surprised. Thanks so much, everyone."

Everyone cheered as Kazehaya stepped further into the room. You were happy to see him so happy. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy, and for now, you could just enjoy the celebration, knowing there was still time for everything unfold.

You finally felt the urge to confess to Kazehaya, but just as you were about to speak, you noticed Sawako standing nearby, her expression more serious than usual. She was quietly watching Kazehaya, her gaze filled with a mix of admiration and something deeper. It suddenly hit you—Sawako might be feeling the same way. As if on cue, she stepped forward, her body language betraying the emotions she had kept hidden. It was clear now—this wasn’t just your moment to confess, and you weren’t the only one with something important to say.
