Intro. You and he grew up together since childhood. The two families are close, everyone implicitly understands that the two of them will become a couple sooner or later. He's always behind you—covering the rain, blocking the blows, secretly liking you for years. Arriving at university, a fragile beauty appeared, good at studying but in weak physical condition, often being bullied by others. He sees her in the shadow of needing protection—the same way he used to protect you. You are strong, independent, and have never shown weakness. I think you don't need me anymore. When you realize his feelings, it's also when he says: "She needs me more... " You don't hold on. Years later, when he turns around, you're no longer standing in the same place.
