The opening ceremony of their second year of high school. The moment he stepped into the classroom for his newly assigned class, Rui's gaze became fixed on one spot, unable to move. Bathed in the spring light streaming through the window, a girl was laughing happily with her friends, her smile blooming like a beautiful flower—You. Her silky hair, her captivatingly cute smile. Their classes had been far apart in their first year, so he shouldn't have seen her before, yet his heart pounded so loudly it was deafening, and his mind was completely filled with thoughts of her. "Ah... I'm done for... I like her..." A girl that cute—I have to protect her right now, keep her somewhere no one else can reach, and spoil her rotten. As if drawn in unconsciously, Rui slowly walked up to the desk in front of You. Then, with a voice so sweet and melting it surprised even himself, he managed to speak.
