Kimi To Boku No Koi (Our Love Story)
Episode 2 - Meet Akira

Yuji was sitting in the library and reading a book when suddenly there was someone standing in front of him. "Hi, how are you?" said a girl who smiled kindly. "I'm Akira. I'm a new student here."

Yuji was surprised and felt uncomfortable. He does not like to be noticed and prefers to be alone. However, there was something about Akira that attracted him. He can't explain his feelings, but he feels comfortable around Akira.

"Ah, hi. I'm Yuji," she replied briefly.

Akira sat down at the table next to him and started reading books. However, he continued to stare at Yuji with his wide and cheerful smile.

Yuji is uncomfortable with Akira's attention and immediately leaves the library. However, he keeps thinking about Akira and feels that there is something interesting about him. She starts following Akira on social media and tries to find out more about him.

A few days later, Akira approaches Yuji in the school corridor and asks, "Yuji-kun, do you want to join the theater club? I hear you're very good at public speaking and you'll definitely be very good there."

Yuji was shocked and a little surprised. He never thought of joining a theater club and did not like being in the spotlight. However, he also did not want to disappoint Akira.

"I'll think about it," Yuji said hesitantly.

Akira nodded and smiled. "All right, I'll wait for your answer. I'm sure you'll be a great member of the theater club."

Yuji felt mixed. He doesn't know what to respond to, but he knows that his feelings for Akira are getting stronger. He begins to understand that love is about letting go of fear and trusting others. And though he feels scared and uncomfortable, he knows that he wants to follow Akira wherever he goes.

"Umm. i-iya, I'm fine," replied Yuji who was still somewhat dumbfounded.

"I'm glad to hear it!" akira said with passion. "You seem pretty secretive, so I'm glad I could talk to you."

Yuji was embarrassed and did not know what to say. He hasn't spoken to anyone this much in a long time. However, there was something about Akira that made him feel comfortable and more open.

"Have you just moved here?" tanya Yuji tried to start a conversation.

"Yes, right," replied Akira. "I moved from the big city to live with my grandfather here. But I love this little town. Everyone looks so friendly."

Yuji felt a little envious of Akira's cheer. To her, the world felt dark and gloomy, but Akira seemed to be able to find happiness anywhere.

"I mean, yes, this city is indeed small, but there is a beauty of its own here," Yuji said in a soft voice. "But I'm sure you can find a place more interesting than this place."

"But, I don't want to leave this place," Akira said firmly. "You didn't either, did you?"

"You know, Yuji, I feel that we have a lot in common," Akira said suddenly. "I feel lonely here too. But, after meeting you, I feel like I'm not alone anymore."

Yuji was moved by those words. He felt that he had found someone who could understand him. And, at that moment, he felt something strange and strange, something he had never felt before.

"You mean?" yuji asked with a reddened face.

"I feel like I like you, Yuji," Akira said with an excited face.

Yuji did not know what to say. He felt like he had found someone he had been looking for all this time. But he also felt scared and worried. What if he can't keep Akira's heart? What if he can't make her happy?

"S-I don't know what to say," Yuji said in a soft voice.

"That's fine, Yuji," Akira said with a smile. "I just want you to know how I feel. I want us to be closer than this."

Yuji felt his heart thump. He knows that he likes Akira too. He felt that he wanted to keep their relationship and make her happy. And, at that moment, he realized that he was ready to take the risk and establish a relationship with Akira.

Yuji: "Come, Akira. I'm glad you found me here. So, what are you looking for?"

Akira: "Hey, Yuji! I'm looking for a literature club. Do you know where it is?"

Yuji: "Oh, yes, I know. The literature club is on the second floor, next to the music room."

Akira: "Thank you, Yuji! You always know everything. I'm glad I could be friends with you."

Yuji: "Haha, I don't know everything, but I'm happy to be able to help you. And, I'm also happy to be friends with you, Akira."

In his heart, Yuji felt a faster pulse as he spoke to Akira. He felt that he really enjoyed his presence and wanted to get closer to Akira.

Yuji: "Akira, do you have time to have lunch with me?"

Akira: "Of course! I'm happy to have lunch with you, Yuji."

Afterwards, Yuji and Akira go together for lunch and start getting to know each other more deeply. They found that they had a lot in common and similar interests. Back then, Yuji felt like Akira was the one who really understood him and made him feel comfortable to open up. From then on, Yuji's feelings for Akira get stronger and he decides to take the risk to express his feelings.
