Sae has never had a girlfriend, not because he's not interested, but because he's had a crush on a girl in his school — throughout his high school years, that little crush was reserved for that girl.

He never received a response to his long-standing feelings because the girl he liked had a childhood friend, a couple that was once called the "couple without a declaration of love."

But then a new girl transferred in and ruined that relationship — Sae mustered up the courage to go and comfort the girl he liked.
