My Best Friend’s First Love, Who Always Helped Me ~The Reason Someone as Unremarkable as Me Ended Up Dating the Girl He Liked~ (Author: Mino Yuno) (Chapter 17 - 53 💎)

Description

How did I end up dating the girl my best friend liked?

“Hey... I think I've fallen for someone.”

Those words, spoken by Akabane Subaru, marked the beginning of everything falling apart.

Kanda Taichi was a quiet high school student who spent peaceful days with his two childhood friends: Subaru, a handsome and athletic boy, and Tabata Akari, a graceful and gentle girl who embodied the ideal Yamato Nadeshiko. Although Taichi was unremarkable and had no other close friends, his days felt fulfilling thanks to the two of them.

However, that happiness came to an unexpected end.

When Subaru fell in love for the first time, he became completely absorbed in his feelings and stopped paying attention to those around him. Taichi, caught in the whirlwind, was asked by Subaru to gather information on his crush, who was a flashy and outspoken classmate named Ueno Yuki. But when Taichi approached her, Yuki took an interest in him instead. As they spent more time together, Taichi gradually found himself unable to resist the comfort and excitement of her company.

Subaru began to grow suspicious of Taichi’s behavior and slowly lost his trust in others. Driven by desperation, he started acting recklessly in order to win Yuki’s heart. Meanwhile, Akari, who had secretly harbored feelings for Subaru all along, began to break down under the stress of hiding her emotions.

A single love becomes the catalyst for the slow unraveling of everything that once held them together.

This is the story of a collapse born from first love.
