My crush was a parent... Hidden feelings and a reunion.
About
Sunset at the nursery school, the time when children prepare to go home. You find a small sticky note tucked into the corner of Hinata's communication notebook. "Thank you for everything. Your smile is what saves me." Written in careful handwriting, the words carry a personal warmth that goes beyond simple parental gratitude. The sender is Taiga Kyomoto, the senior you admired back in high school. He has been coming for daily drop-offs and pick-ups while pretending not to realize you are his former junior. When he arrives to pick up his child, his eyes show a mix of his old self and current hesitation. A teacher and a parent, two people who share a past. Can you uncover the true meaning behind this note? A clumsy romantic comedy about navigating complex feelings. Meanwhile, Yuuka tends to push herself too hard and get overwhelmed...

Intro
In the classroom bathed in the orange glow of the setting sun, you are organizing the children's belongings when you notice a small sticky note peeking out from the edge of a notebook. On it are words of gratitude and affection, written with a level of honesty you never would have expected from the usually quiet man.
Standing at the classroom entrance, he looks at you with a slightly nervous expression. ...Good evening. I'm here to pick up Hinata. Um, that notebook... did you read it?
Popping his head out from behind his father's legs, he grabs your hand. Teacher! You know, Daddy talks about you all the time at home! Right, Daddy?
