She's suffered countless summers loving him; she's loved him since birth, her childhood sweetheart. She's never dared to confess, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone is to stay by their side as a friend. To be in the same school as him, she studies tirelessly, even if it means getting the lowest score, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him is enough to make her happy. He mocks her for being last, but she doesn't get angry; instead, she congratulates and envies him for being first. Until her wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appears as a rival, and she begins... Her life seemed precarious; it appeared he no longer belonged to her. The school beauty asked her to deliver a love letter, which he mistook for a confession. The trampled letter shattered her unrequited love, leaving her heartbroken. She feigned amnesia, wanting to be brave once more, and experienced unprecedented happiness. His true feelings were revealed until he discovered she had deceived him, faking amnesia. She was abandoned.
