She is looking outside from the window. They are on their way to a private resthouse that the club president rented last month. It is not her first time to attend one but she is more excited than everyone since it will be the first time they will have general assembly and team building outside the campus.

She is smiling while watching the trees sway along the cold breeze. She opened the window for a few seconds to feel it against her face. She bit her lips when she looked at the person sitting beside her.

"Gomen. Did it bother you?" She asked and he took his headphones off before asking her what it was.

"Nandemonai. I thought the wind bothered you." She smiled and then, turned her head to watch the trees again.

Yamamoto Shogo is already in his last year at high school while Hasegawa Fuyu is just in her second year. Supposedly, her seatmate is her girl friend but since she is the one who knows the directions to the private resthouse, she needs to sit in front to tell it to the driver.

He looked at her without saying anything. He just watched her enjoy nature while listening to his music player. It started when he first met her. It was last year. Fuyu joined the club wherein he is a member. It is the photography club.

The moment he saw her, he knew that he fell in love. As they say, it is love at first sight. He is hopeless. He knows that she is in love with their club member, Riku. He is friends with Riku since the first day of their first year and he can't afford to lose his friendship between the two. Also, it will be awkward for him and Fuyu if he confesses, so he chose to keep his feelings and never talk about it.

A few hours passed and they finally arrived at the resthouse. He took his bag and opened the door to get out already. Fuyu followed him and the smile she had earlier was there again. He turned his music player off and hid it inside his bag along with the headphones.

The club president announced some things first and then, he gave instructions to them. They rented two vans for the transportation. The number of members are even, so they decided to have a pair in each room. Of course, boys should be with boys and girls should be with girls.

After the announcement, he got the keys to their room and went straight to put his bag down. He will share a room with Riku, as usual. He doesn't have any problem with him though.

He took his laptop and its charger from his bag and went out of the room to look for a quiet place. They have three hours to take a rest and later after lunch, they will start the activities that the club officers prepared for them.

He ended up at the waiting area. He took his seat and placed his laptop on the table. He started working on something and when he heard Fuyu's voice around, he opened another application and pretended to be busy with it.

"Should we go there?" Fuyu pointed to the pavilion at the garden. She is with her friend and he watched them walk out of the resthouse. His eyes are stuck on her and he didn't even notice that the club president is already besides him and looking at his laptop screen.

"I see. You're too in love with her." He shut his laptop close, feeling his heart beating so fast when he saw him. The club president chuckled and he glared at him.

"Shut up. Don't dare to tell it to her." He muttered and he opened his laptop once again. The club president smiled and sat on the chair across him.

"Confess this time. I'll help you." He almost rolled his eyes at his suggestion. He doesn't need help because he will never confess to her.

"It is already your last year in high school. Do you want to let her go without even telling her what you really feel?" Their voices are low since there are some members around.

"She is not even mine in the first place. How can I let her go?" He mumbled as he continued what he was doing earlier.

"Make her yours, then. Don't be a coward. What if.." He didn't finish what he was saying when he looked at him seriously.

"What if what? What if she really doesn't love that person? That's ridiculous. I can see how much she loves him." He lowered his eyes on the laptop screen while mumbling those.

He tried his best to forget his feelings for her but he failed. He is always failing at forgetting it. He tried it many times but whenever he is feeling that he is succeeding, she will do something that will make him fall harder for her.

"I want to help you. You also deserve to be happy with the person you love." The club president added but he shook his head while smiling sadly.

"I'm not the person she loves." He shifted his gaze on her once again, adoring everything she was doing.
