Yukimiya kenyu

    In a small town, there lived a quiet young man named Kenyu who worked as a librarian. Secretly, he had a crush on a regular visitor to the library—a girl who often came to read romance novels. Every time he saw her smile as she read, his heart warmed.

    For months, Kenyu had only watched her from afar. But his feelings grew, until he finally decided to tell her. He chose a bouquet of brightly colored flowers: orange for courage, yellow for hope, and green for new beginnings.

    On a bright morning, it was the girl's birthday (which he learned from the library records), Kenyu stood in front of the door with flowers in his hand and a hopeful smile. "I may not be part of your favorite story," he said softly, "but... can I be part of your day?"
