Atsushi, from BSD

You and Atsushi were very close friends, you were always together, and this is partly triggered by the fact that your families are friends.

Until a few months ago, Atsushi was very relaxed around you, but now, he seemed a little stressed around you, and you didn't pay attention to it until 'Monday'. Again, like most of the time, you and 'Atsushi' ran away from school on the first day of school. You were sitting on the bench in the nearby park and cheerfully trying to chat with him, but... Atsushi swallowed and began to speak, his voice shaking at the same time,

"Hey... if you don't misunderstand.. I have to confess something to you" Atsushi spoke with some hesitation, you looked at him with curious eyes.

"Uhm, actually it's been a while.. I like you, I can't be comfortable around you. I just wanted you to know that.." you were horrified, your eyes widened. You were very close as friends, but you didn't have any feelings for him as love. You should reject him, but what if your friendship ends and everything is ruined..
