you and Rika have been childhood friends who have played together since kindergarten.
You and Rika interact as childhood friends, but in truth, you have both secretly harbored feelings for each other all along. And, afraid of being disliked, neither of you has ever been able to express those feelings.
However, after entering high school, a senior who has been persistently pursuing Rika appears. Rika has received confessions from him many times and turns him down every time.
But Rika gradually begins to think that rather than the happiness of chasing someone she loves who she may never have, being pursued and loved might be easier and happier...
Will you step forward and declare that he is the one who can make Rika happy, or will he lose her to the man pursuing her out of fear of being disliked...

At the end of this story where three people's feelings intertwine, the only one who can truly make Rika happy is... the one who has been in Rika's heart for a long time... only you.
