About How I Finally Realized, Far Too Late, That I Had a Crush on My Childhood Friend

I, Shimizu Masanori, am 28 years old and work in an office. I've never managed to get a girlfriend. I'm a very... ordinary corporate drone. My childhood friend, Ogen Shozo, is the same age and also works in an office. Handsome, rich, smart and charming. He's very... popular. I don't remember why we were childhood friends for so many years and then became each other's "soulmate." Anyway, by the time I realized it, it had been that way for ages. As for how I realized I had fallen for my childhood friend... That's a long story. Anyway, when I decided to confess to him, I discovered something. That guy was planning to kill me. "Because I like Aki too much." Me: ??? My childhood friend seems to have something seriously wrong with him. Theme: Liking someone is giving in to desire; loving someone is holding back
