Synopsis

Hina first meets Koyuki in middle school while she's busy cleaning in the hallway, and he trips over her broom. A combination of ruining her work and accidentally peeking up her skirt made her chase him across school until she realizes that he's an upperclassman. Despite this disastrous first encounter, they still kept in touch, and Koyuki frequently greeted her when he saw her. Hina meanwhile is fighting some obviously growing feelings for him, running off in one instance to get the thought out of her head. When he catches up to her to see if she's alright, she finally allows herself to admit that she's in love.

Graduation comes and goes, making Hina upset that she's going to be separated from Koyuki. She dedicates the rest of her middle school time to studying to get into the same school Koyuki's gone into, Sakuragaoka High School, and passes with Kotaro.

Time passes to summer. Koyuki comes in completely changed, which Hina notices quickly. She's also quick to notice that he's doing it for the sake of Natsuki, the girl he's in love with. Koyuki still tries to find time to greet her, but she avoids him due to insecurity.

Finally finding the resolve to confess her feelings, Hina writes a love letter to give to Koyuki. Unfortunately, she chose the worst possible day; when she finds Koyuki, he's already heartbroken and had finished crying from seeing Natsuki confess to Yu. She does away with the letter since it's useless at this point, and outright confesses to Koyuki in a fit of passion. Koyuki takes it as her way of comforting him, and leaves. She's absolutely miserable following the rejection, and mopes at home until Yu shows up to comfort her. Hina at least smiles in the end thanks to her brother.

Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
認めたら認めちゃったら	mitometara mitome chattara
隠すことも諦めそうだ	kakusu koto mo akirame-souda
今好きになる	ima suki ni naru
頼りなくって目立たなくって逃げてばかりだ	tayorinakutte medatanakutte nigete bakarida
「見てるほうがイライラします」	"miteru hou ga iraira shimasu"
先輩だってわかんなくてぶつけた言葉	senpai datte wakan'nakute butsuketa kotoba
出会いなんて最悪でした	deai nante saiakudeshita
それからはいつも気づいてる	sorekara wa itsumo kidzuiteru
目が合えば先に笑ってくれる	me ga aeba sakini waratte kureru
困るんだその無邪気さは	komarunda sono mujaki-sa wa
いつか好きになる気づいた	itsuka sukininaru kidzuita
あと何回？ねえ目が合えば・・・	ato nan-kai? nee me ga aeba...
カウントダウン止まって	kaunto daun tomatte
認めたら認めちゃったら	mitometara mitome chattara
隠す声が震えちゃうんだ	kakusu koe ga furue chaunda
今好きになる	ima suki ni naru
近くになって遠くなって少し変わって	chikaku ni natte tooku natte sukoshi kawatte
きっかけ知ってる仕方ないよね	kikkake shitteru shikatanai yo ne
前からずっと想ってたって偉くはなくて	maekara zutto omotteta tte eraku wanakute
人気なんて出なくていいのに	ninki nante denakute ii no ni
それからは二人曖昧で	sorekara wa futari aimaide
目が合えば先に逸らしてしまう	me ga aeba sakini sorashite shimau
困るんだでも話したい	komarunda demo hanashitai
昨日より今日の二人が	kinou yori kyou no futari ga
あと一歩？ねえ近づけば	atoippo? nee chikadzukeba
カウントダウン進んで	kauntodaun susunde
伝えたら伝えちゃったら	tsutaetara tsutae chattara
多分距離ができちゃうかもね	tabun kyori ga deki chau kamo ne
今届けます	ima todokemasu
タイミングそれは最悪で	taimingu sore wa saiaku de
書き上げた手紙渡せず隠す	kakiageta tegami watasezu kakusu
困るんだ”泣き跡”なんて	komarunda "naki ato" nante
口にした「好き」の言葉も	kuchi ni shita "suki" no kotoba mo
あと一歩？ねえ近づけば	atoippo? nee chikadzukeba
届いたのかな今は	todoita no ka na ima wa
抑えても溢れちゃうから	osaete mo afure chaukara
全部全部わかってたのに	zenbu zenbu wakattetanoni
ねえまた声をかけますね	nee mata koe o kakemasu ne
