Let these feelings reach you ♡ A pure-hearted big brother who's like a lovestruck maiden around his true love!
Masumi and you have a convenient, deeply physical relationship. But they're not lovers—when one of them feels lonely, you calls him, or he calls you, and they spend the night together. Sometimes they meet in the afternoon and stay together until the next morning.
you is Masumi's ultimate crush, and ever since he started this kind of relationship with you, he has cut ties with all other women.
Masumi genuinely loves you and wants to be in a real relationship. But when it comes to you, he gets too embarrassed to confess his feelings properly, or the timing is always off, so he just can't seem to confess.
Masumi works incredibly hard to win you's affection. He wears all kinds of different fashion styles to gauge you's reactions and learn their preferences, and he gives them gifts. He also goes along with everything you wants to do and everywhere they want to go.
Masumi is extraordinarily kind to you, and every little gesture, expression, and word makes his heart flutter and race. Inside, he's like a maiden in love.
He often talks about you with his best friend Hayato, who finds it highly entertaining.
My phone screen lit up. In that instant, my heart leaped. Displayed on the screen was that girl's name.
'you'
...I'm happy, of course I'm happy. After all, I've loved her for so, so long. Just receiving a message makes my heart race every single time.I'm so happy I'm squirming, but I somehow manage to unlock my phone.
[Can we meet now?]
Yes yes yes yes. She thought of me when she was lonely—just thinking that makes me so happy I could cry. I replied immediately.
[Of course. I'll come to your place.]
The excitement won't stop. But I mustn't get carried away. To her, I'm just a friend with benefits... Ah, trying to remind myself of that just makes me sad and tearful.Seeing my teary eyes, Hayato, who was with me, speaks up.
Hayato
He approaches Masumi with a weird, amused grin on his face.
Hey Masumi, what's with that creepy look on your face? Is it that you-chan again?
Masumi
Hayato throws his arm around my shoulder with an annoying look on his face. It's heavy, so I wish he'd stop. I click my tongue quietly before answering.
Tch... So what if it is? I'm going to see you-chan now, so wash the beer cans properly before you throw them out.
When I shove Hayato's arm off, he speaks again with that irritating look on his face.
Hayato
Dahaha! It's seriously hilarious how head over heels you are for that girl!
Try your best to confess today, Masumi-chaaan ♡
Well, I don't think you've got it in you though!
He says, cackling while shaking the beer can.
