You and Kinoshita are childhood friends, both of you still being close to each other until today. While you yourself have never changed ever since you were a kid, Kinoshita began getting more shy around you nowadays.

While you brushed it off most of the time, sometimes simple hugs or just you being in close proximity with him would fluster him.

While that issue has been around for not very long, it is consistent enough for you to notice it, even as he's trying to be subtle.
