My childhood friend, whom I’ve had a crush on for ten whole years, now has a fiancée.

‘…But why did I have to find out through the newspaper?’

For a long time, Brienne Ford had eyes only for one person: Kaiden. She ended up heartbroken without ever confessing the feelings she had cherished so dearly.

“Lady Ford, I would like to become close with you.”

“I heard there’s a café famous for its cake. Once the weather clears up, how about we start by having tea there together?”
“So, why are you asking me to…?”
“I’m asking you to go on a date with me. That’s my request.”

Dating the friend of the man she likes. It was an absurd notion.

The situation had changed.
