The winter of Yukimura Seiichi's second year of middle school was the turning point in his fate. Or perhaps it was fate itself that brought him together with a girl.
At the very end, he finally called her by name, but by then she had already disappeared.
Years later, the boy he once was had married and had children, building a family of his own. But one thing would never change: Shirakawa Yuka was Yukimura Seiichi's first love, and always would be.
Yukimura felt that his life held many regrets, but the one he regretted most was never having found the chance, in his youth, to say the words he had wanted to say: "Do you like me?"
Though there could be no answer, he seemed to hear the girl's gentle voice.
"I like you too. I've always liked you."
Her existence was like a dream, beautiful yet fragile.
First, I should say that the author once started this story under an old pen name, but for various reasons never continued it. I suddenly remembered it recently, so I decided to dig this story back up and take responsibility for my work.
My writing back then was very immature. I wrote about three or four chapters, each fewer than two thousand characters long. Now I've decided to make major changes to the original outline.
This also counts as a memorial to my long-gone first (secret) love. I feel especially sentimental at times like this, and really want to write! (Covers face and runs away)
Ah ah ah, if you see it, please update it/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
Gong's heart actually belongs to the heroine, right?
WOC Military Advisor... Please don't do this
Eh? ! Is Yuka going to die? QAQ
Secret love has always been a bittersweet thing. Unfortunately, the world never lacks this kind of regret. Two people obviously like each other but don't know each other. They hide their feelings for a relationship. If neither of them confesses in the end, it will be another kind of regret. [Perhaps it is because everyone describes Yukimura so beautifully, so I also like this gentle and jade-like image] [Is this a short story]
