Yamato and I have been at odds for a few days. Yamato hasn’t turned back to me at all… He didn’t even try to talk to Shun instead…
As for me, I have too many conflicting feelings swirling in my chest, and I’m just so distressed that I don’t know what to do…
There are only two days left until the start of the home study period, including today… Will we just continue to be at odds like this?
If I think I’m in the wrong, I should just honestly confess, but I’m too cowardly, with old scars making me lack the courage… I’m just a weakling…
That’s when it happened…
*Bang!!*
Shun abruptly stood up from his seat… and he grabbed my right arm as if telling me to come along! And he dragged me up to the forbidden rooftop…
We slipped past the teacher’s watchful eyes and reached the rooftop…
I didn’t understand why we were brought up here… Nor did I know what Shun was thinking…
“Hey… Shun…?”
“Yuto, we… were best friends, right…?”
Huh… Of course we are… Why are you confirming that now… Shun, what’s going on…?
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? We’ve always been best friends!”
“Then… then! Please talk to me properly! What happened with Yamato… and tell me about the feelings you’re hiding from me!!”
My heart rate soared with Shun’s strong words… He wasn’t just asking about Yamato, he wanted me to talk about myself too…

At my timid words, Shun clenched his right hand into a fist and directed it towards my face.
“This white band is our proof of friendship, right? I’ve never taken it off… It’s always protected our bond, no matter what…”
“So… no matter what happens, our connection won’t be severed… I believe it’s not something so fragile!”
“So, go ahead and confide in me your painful feelings and your suffering!”
With Shun’s strong determination, countless tears streamed from my eyes… And finally, I ended up telling Shun the truth…
I’m an Omega…
And the reason I was bullied and left alone was because I experienced my first heat at school… And at that moment, I lied about being a Beta, which was exposed to the entire school…
I was trying to hide my Omega status, living with a big lie that was only temporary…
From then on, the way people saw me changed drastically, and even those I thought were friends started to drift away from me… There was no place for me as an Omega anymore…
‘You’re a big liar.’
‘Don’t get close; your pheromones will transfer to us.’
‘All you ever think about is screwing around, right?’
‘We’re not even friends anymore.’
What’s wrong with being an Omega…?
Am I not allowed to live normally as an Omega…?
Why am I bullied so much…?
I’m… so in pain, so heartbroken… I even wished I could erase my existence… But then I learned about the existence of medication, and slowly I became able to restrain myself…
And I wanted to start over in high school… That’s what I thought…
I made wonderful friends like Shun and Yamato…
And I fell in love with Yamato…
Even though my high school life was nearing its end, I was happy as an Omega because of those two…
I wanted the three of us to graduate with smiles… but Yamato stopped looking back again…
Because of my lies… Because of my weakness, I hurt the two of them… I hurt Yamato…
And the more I thought about Yamato, whom I love so much, the more I lost control over myself, not just my feelings but also my pheromones and irregular heats, making it impossible for me to control myself…
Every time… The fear from back then shook my feelings greatly… and I became unbearably anxious…
While contemplating various thoughts, I thought it was okay if I was the only one who loved Yamato… I’ve always thought that being by Yamato’s side was enough…
But… but… I ended up hurting Yamato by thinking that way… I don’t even know if I’m allowed… If I’m allowed to love him, to like him…
Even though I love Yamato so much…
I don’t know what to do… I don’t understand…
I poured out all my feelings to Shun with tears streaming down my face…
I didn’t hide anything, unable to hold back my tears, and I poured out all the facts to Shun…
And as he listened to my story, Shun shed tears repeatedly…
Then, Shun took both of my hands in his.
“Thank you for telling me… Yuto, you’ve been through a lot… It must have been tough, right? It’s painful, right?… I didn’t notice it as a Beta, but…”
“It’s okay, even if you’re an Omega, nothing changes between us… We love you just the same… And for who you are now, there’s still a place for you… That’s right, me and Yamato… We’re here for you, and our friendship remains unchanged… Yamato must feel the same…”
“And… I’m sure Yamato feels the same way about you liking him… He’s always teasing, but as a friend, I understand… You guys will be fine…”
“Even if you’re an Omega, I think Yamato loves everything about you… So, make sure to properly convey your feelings to him… Don’t have regrets, okay…?”
Shun’s words untangled each of my intertwined emotions…
He’s always acting like an idiot, but he’s my precious friend… Knowing I’m an Omega doesn’t change a thing… He’s my friend…
“If you’re scared, if it gets tough, look at the ‘proof of friendship,’ because I, because we will always be there!”
“Ahh… Aaahhhhh!!”
With Shun’s warm and powerful words, I screamed out all my emotions along with my tears…
It was truly painful, tough, and heart-wrenching… I wanted to let out all those feelings… along with my tears…
I’m so glad Yuto let it out at last! Shun deserves to know, and Yamato too.
