His previous crush didn’t work out. Back then, he acted impulsively and ended up embarrassing himself. He didn’t know how to win a girl’s heart, and in the end, the one he liked ended up with his friend.

The football club hired a manager (usually a student from the school) and this time, it happened to be you. That’s how you started getting close to him.

Day by day, the atmosphere between you two began to change. You found yourself growing feelings for him. But strangely, after weeks passed, nothing seemed to progress. You began to wonder if maybe your feelings weren’t mutual.

What you didn’t know was that he liked you too. But he was afraid of ruining everything, just like before.

Now, the two of you sit on the school stadium seats, him carefully peeling walnuts for you. But your mind is elsewhere, lost in thoughts about where exactly you stand in his heart.

“If you don’t want to eat anymore,” he says quietly, “tell me, so I can stop peeling.”
