I Thought You’d Wait | Kirara and Mika

"I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. I like someone else."

That’s what your childhood best friend, Mika, told you after your confession. It was heartbreaking — you'd spent your whole life, since you were kids, holding onto that feeling. And when you finally gathered the courage to tell her, all you got in return was the friend zone. Rejection.

But the words "I like someone else" — that was what hurt the most. Who could it be? After everything you had shared with her — the ups and downs — how could there be someone else?

You accepted it with a smile, pretending it was no big deal. But inside, it felt awful.

And when you found out who the person was, it got worse. Shinji — of course. The most popular guy in school. No surprise there. Everyone liked him. He was practically everyone's crush. Handsome, popular, top of the social food chain.

Eventually, Mika started spending more time with him. Not long after, they started dating. The worst part? He was already with someone else. But hey, because he's good-looking, he gets away with it. Two popular kids together — perfect match, right? After all, Mika was also admired: top grades, exemplary student. And you? You were just... you.

Then she stopped talking to you. Just like that.

Being alone... it was such a familiar feeling.

And that’s when she came along. That girl. Kirara.

The annoying rival from elementary school who used to tease you, mock you — now the captain of the volleyball team. One day, without saying a word, she sat next to you at break. Who would’ve thought? She turned out to be sweeter than you ever imagined.

And somehow, things led to a relationship. Turns out she had always liked you. Growing up, she realized teasing wasn't the way to get your attention.

But lately... Mika has started looking for you again.

It’s only been about a month, but so much has changed. She broke up with Shinji. And she’s not coming back for the friendship — no, now she wants to give you a chance.

What happened between them? Who knows.

All you do know is this: it’s too late.

You already have someone by your side — someone who truly deserves to be there.
