Six months ago.

Eh!?? Kaname-chan is missing?

When Auntie told me that he was involved in a disaster, my mind went blank. Ever since then, I have prayed for his safe return. But after a month or two, nothing has changed, not even a clue has been grasped.

It was about four months after Kaname-chan was gone.

Send-san?

Yamazaki-kun

Are there still any left?

Yeah

After school, while I was in the classroom praying for him to come back, I was approached by Yamazaki-kun, a boy in my class. He is the complete opposite of Kaname-chan.

Thats Kirishimas seat

I was sitting in Kaname-chans seat and he was looking at me curiously. Kaname-chan is usually a man of few words and a bit blunt. However, Yamazaki-kun is very good at talking to girls

After school, when I sit in Kaname-chans seat like this, he finishes the work he was forced to do and puts his hand on my shoulder from behind and asks me to go home. Even though I thought it was impossible, I thought that one day he would come back and gently touch me on the shoulder

Yeah, Im waiting for Kaname-cha I mean, Kirishima-kun.

Dont you feel lonely waiting alone?

No Im alright. Yamazaki-kun, you can go home first.

Okay, Ill see you later. Well, take care.

I respond,Yes, Yamazaki-kun, too,and he waves to me with a carefree smile. I heard some not-so-good rumors, but he never did anything nasty at all, like asking me how I was that day or touching my body. He felt more like a gentleman.

After that, Yamazaki-kun kept me company as I waited for him, and we began to talk a lot about each other. It was as if to comfort me, who had a big, big hole in my heart after Kaname-chans disappearance.

Yamazakis voice was somewhat similar to Kaname-chan. Theres no way he I somehow

When I entered high school, things changed. I let my hair down and switched from plain, unkempt glasses to contacts.

Hey, girl youre cute. Wanna go have a little fun?

Why is a guy started approaching me? It had never happened to me when I was in middle school

So, when a man approached me, I would act strange and always run away, but that day, I was unlucky enough to get tangled up with a persistent man.

Sorry! But this girl, Im her boyfriend. Can you take your hands off her for a minute?

Kaname-chan!?

So I turned around and looked at the guy

Yamazaki-kun.

Yo!He raised one hand lightly to me cheerfully.

Shit, youve got a boyfriend?

The popularity of the man who tried to force me to go with him poofed and spit and disappeared somewhere. Yamazaki-kun looked at me with concern.

Were you okay? Were you scared? Did I maybe do something I shouldnt have?

I was scared Thank you for helping me.

I said I would thank him at a chain caf, but on the contrary he bought me a drink. He said it was because he gets a lot of pocket money.

A clear cup with a green straw, his is dark amber. Mine is beige. We sipped each others containers, which had a few surface drops of water on them, as we talked.

I see, youve known each other since childhood, right? Could it be that Send-san was actually dating Kirishima?

Ah, yeah Kaname-cha erm, Kirishima-kun said it would be troublesome if people gossiped about us, so we decided to keep it a secret at school

Kaname-chan and I rarely talked at school. We were in the same class. But we always exchanged messages, played and talked at either of our houses after school.

As I sip my milk tea, he asks, and I look him in the eye with an upward glance. He was thin and has a kind face with clear noses and eyes.

When did that started?

From middle school.

Heh Is that so. I didnt notice that at all. But its surprising. Kirishima doesnt seem that popular, you know. Im jealous that a cute girl like Tend-san is his girlfriend.

Perhaps Kaname-chan didnt want people around me to talk like that, so I kept my mouth shut to keep quiet.

Why is Tend-san so cute, and I feel bad saying this, but were you dating Kirishima? There were plenty of other good guys, werent there?

Ah, yeah You know, I was plain, unremarkable, and frankly not cute until high school It was Kaname-cham who told me I looked cuter with my contacts and hair down.

Yamazaki-kun seems to think that Kaname-chans appearance and mine are out of proportion, which is not clear.

Okay, so how did the two of you get together?

Thats

I told Yamazaki-kun about the old days that happened to us.

Elementary school.

Ahh!! Youve lost your bra!

Who is this, wearing such a sexy thing!?

Gotcha!

Boys connecting the hooks and turning the bra around I was growing a little faster than most girls and my breasts were large for an elementary schooler. So my mother told me to wear a bra, and I did.

That moment

Thats mine. Youre got to give it back to me.

Is this from you Kirishima?

Seriously?

Thats right, You can tell by looking at it! Look at my boobs!

Kaname-chan took off his gym clothes, stripped down to his top, and proudly announced to the boys that he was hanging up my bra, and took it back from them stunned.

After that, he came to my house and

Here you go.

Embarrassed or not, he doesnt make eye contact with me, blushes, and offers me my bra wrapped in cloth.

Thank you.

I just couldnt bear to watch those childish idiots, so dont thank me.

Perhaps he was embarrassed, but as soon as he finished saying that, he went back to his house.

Sometimes, because of his body, Kaname-chans breasts were rubbed by the boys. He was called brawler, from the nickname piggy, and from then until we graduated, all our classmates despised him and made fun of him, but he told me not to say a word to him.

He was no longer actively involved with others outside of his personal will from then on.

When I finished telling him this old story, Yamazaki-kun rolled his eyes, either impressed or surprised.

Whats that Was that guy really that manly?

Yeah I didnt talk to strangers much anymore, so Ive been misunderstood

I had never talked about such things with my classmates, but I was happy to hear them ask about Kaname-chan after a long time. I have been waiting for Kaname-chan for a long while, but one thing broke my heart and I become dependent on Yamazaki-kun.
