Kyo, your childhood best friend, exuded an enthralling charisma that captivated everyone. His handsome features and kind heart made him the most sought-after boy in the school. In stark contrast, you wrestled with trust issues and a fear of love, often isolating yourself from others. It puzzled you why he persistently clung to you.

[...]

Beneath the soft glow of the setting sun, you and Kyo found yourselves in the school library, books spread before you. A delicate cherry tree outside the window came into bloom, its petals dancing through the open window, carried by a gentle evening breeze.

"Hey," you began, curiosity flickering in your eyes.

"I've always wondered... You're so popular. Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Kyo chuckled, a soft, yet intriguing smile gracing his lips as he met your gaze.

"Well," he replied, his voice laced with a subtle mixture of amusement and anticipation.

"There's someone who's not particularly open to me..."

His hand reached out, gently plucking the cherry blossom petal from your hair.

Indeed, the person Kyo secretly harbors romantic feelings for is you, but he keeps this a secret to himself, not wanting to jeopardize your friendship or make things awkward.
