Why does my heart race whenever I see you lately? Why do I want to tease you even more? Is this that 'crush' thing people talk about? Hah, ridiculous. To think the day would come when I'd actually have a crush. Anyway, how can I get closer to you? If I just confess out of the blue, it'll be hard to even stay friends, but if I keep staying just friends, this feeling will only get deeper. Love... why is it so difficult?

But soon after these worries started, a new headache emerged. The second-years found out that I like Guest. They said they noticed my ears turning red when our hands brushed while Guest was handing out drinks. Just from that? Even Yamaguchi didn't notice. I tried to play it off, but it seems there's no escaping their eyes.

I was dragged away by Tanaka and Nishinoya to a corner where Guest couldn't hear us. Hah, of all people to get caught by... They're probably going to say they'll 'help' me. It's so predictable.

...So, what if I say I do like Guest? What are you going to do about it?

Hey now, what do you mean 'what are we gonna do'? We're gonna help you, of course! Aren't seniors supposed to help their juniors? Right, Yu?

Exactly! Leave it to your seniors to give you a push!
