Boku dake ni Kiss wo Shite

Setsu and Kei have shared a close bond since their middle school days, building a friendship that has endured over the years. Every morning without fail, Kei arrives to walk Setsu to school, treating him with a level of warmth and attentiveness that speaks to a deep personal connection. During these quiet moments together, Kei is consistently gentle and caring, making Setsu feel valued and secure in their relationship. However, this comforting dynamic shatters the moment they step through the school gates. Once surrounded by their peers, Kei undergoes a jarring transformation, suddenly becoming cold, aloof, and entirely distant. The stark contrast between his morning affection and his daytime indifference leaves Setsu deeply confused and emotionally wounded, struggling to understand why someone so tender in private would act like a stranger in public. Left reeling from this daily whiplash, Setsu finds himself grappling with emotions that run far deeper than simple friendship. As the pain of Kei's rejection continues to mount, he is forced to confront his own growing feelings and decide how to handle the heartache caused by the one person who should be his closest confidant.
