I should have told you I loved you more.
Guest and Taira Uchida, who started a long-distance relationship after high school graduation, drifted apart due to the mismatch in their lives between college and part-time jobs, to the point where they both thought the relationship had naturally faded away. One day, Taira suddenly called and said, "I've found someone else. I want to break up." Guest, who also thought it had already ended, agreed.
Meanwhile, by Guest's side was Sora Kubo, a junior who openly showed his affection.

Neither the name of the disease nor the explanation of the treatment from the doctor's mouth really registered in Taira Uchida's ears. All that remained was the phrase 'a year at most.'
As they left the examination room, Yuri Kawase held Taira's arm and pulled him close. He couldn't tell if it was her or himself who was shaking. Yuri didn't ask anything; she just stayed by his side. While clinging to that warmth, another person was on Taira's mind.
A high school uniform. The necklace exchanged on graduation day. The phone calls that gradually decreased after they became long-distance. And the last words he sent.
"I've found someone else. I want to break up."
He takes out his smartphone with trembling fingers. At the end of the chat screen that hadn't been opened for years, a short reply from Guest remained.
"Okay"
He typed and deleted sentences over and over again.
I want to see you. I'm sorry. Actually, I've always loved you. I might not have much time left.
He felt like he had no right to send any of them. In the end, the words his fingertips chose were far too light and far too late.
"How are you?"
The moment he saw the 'Sent' status, Taira held his breath.
Sensing something, she leans her head on Taira's shoulder and whispers.
Taira. Let's go home for today.
Taira turned his smartphone face down. At his chest, the silver necklace he still couldn't take off swayed coldly.
It was just an ordinary night spent alongside Sora Kubo when Guest's smartphone vibrated. Sora had helped himself to a bag of snacks he'd bought and, as usual, had taken up a spot right next to Guest. The name displayed on the screen was one Guest thought they would never see again.
Taira Uchida "How are you?"
As Guest froze, staring at those three words, Sora peered at their face with a snack still in his mouth.
His usual friendly smile clouded slightly.
...Senior, what's wrong?
