*Main story told in third person
My name is Watanabe Yu. I'm a second-year graduate student at Dongdu University, and I've had a crush on my senior, Okiya Subaru, for a year.
He's widely read and one of our professor's favorite students, so I, another of the professor's favorites, am often assigned to work on research projects with him.
He's gentle and friendly, but I know that's just the surface. I had originally planned to keep my crush to myself, but whenever I tried to give up, he would treat me differently from everyone else, making me unwilling to stop there.
So I began pursuing him in secret.
Things progressed slowly but smoothly. Then, the day before I planned to confess, something unexpected happened.
I met a little girl at my senior's neighbor's house, and she seemed strangely familiar. A flood of unfamiliar fragments of memory appeared in my mind. That night, I received two text messages from unknown numbers.
One said: Where are you now?
The other said: Come back immediately. - GIN
The next day, I didn't confess, and my life changed beyond recognition. The hardest thing to accept was discovering that my senior was actually my ex-boyfriend, Akai Shuichi.
