In a cozy family restaurant, three high school boys sat around a table, holding what they considered a very important "meeting." But this time, it wasn't just their usual chat—they were about to dive into something much more personal: their love stories, each of which had touched their hearts in different ways.
Hikari, Mirai, and Yuu had originally formed this group just to play online games together. But as time went on and their friendship deepened, Mirai suggested something new—turning their meetups into sessions where they could share the love experiences that had shaped them, even though not all those stories had happy endings. These experiences had filled their hearts and changed them in ways they never expected.
At the table, two of them sat side by side, while the other sat alone because of their odd number.
"So, who wants to go first?" Mirai asked casually, taking a bite of his food.
They exchanged glances, unsure who should start. After a moment of hesitation, Hikari spoke up.
"Okay, maybe I'll go first. But it might be a bit long—hope that's okay?" Hikari said with a small smile.
"Woah!" Mirai and Yuu cheered excitedly.
Hikari took a sip of water, clearing his throat, and then took a deep breath. With his eyes drifting toward the evening sky that was starting to glow with warm hues, he began to tell his story.
