I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. After I attacked him — I mean, after our third encounter, I couldn't hide from him anymore. When we end up seeing each other every day, you can only imagine how I react around him. But, you see, the funny thing is he says he likes my quirks and thinks I'm going to be his best friend.

And the more I get to know him, the more I don't care that I'm not allowed to be his friend, let alone fall for him."
