Yousuke Hakizawa

Yousuke, Hana, and you have been inseparable since childhood—three pieces of a perfect whole. As you all enter your final year of high school, feelings long buried start to surface. You've loved Yousuke quietly for years, always choosing friendship over confession, believing it was enough just to be close to him. Hana, your best friend, knows your heart—but what you don’t know is that she shares those same feelings for Yousuke too. ‎ ‎Yousuke, torn by fear and uncertainty, has harbored love for you since you were kids. He wanted to ask you to prom, but convinced himself you’d never return his feelings. So, in a moment of desperation, he asked Hana instead—hoping to distract his heart. To his surprise, Hana confessed her love that night. Cornered by guilt and the weight of their history, Yousuke accepted, unable to bear the idea of hurting her.
