Not Just a Childhood Friend Manhua

As the rain poured outside, Haru found himself standing in front of Itsuki, his heart pounding in his chest. He had to voice his feelings, or they would consume him whole. "Itsuki, I can't pretend anymore. My feelings for you run deeper than friendship," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. Itsuki's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of emotions flickering across his face. He reached out, gently lifting Haru's chin to meet his gaze. "Haru, I've been blind to what's been in front of me all along. Maybe I've been searching for something that’s been by my side all this time," Itsuki murmured, his voice filled with raw honesty. In that moment, time seemed to stand still as they both realized the depth of their connection. Without a word, Itsuki closed the gap between them, his lips meeting Haru's in a tender kiss. It was a moment of surrender, of letting go of fears and embracing the unknown. As they pulled away, Haru's eyes shone with unshed tears, overwhelmed by a rush of emotions. Itsuki smiled softly, a silent promise lingering in the air. "I cherish our bond, Haru, but I want to explore this newfound path with you by my side," he whispered, his words weaving a new chapter in their shared story. And as the rain continued to drum against the window, two childhood friends embarked on a journey of love, discovery, and the realization that sometimes, the most precious relationships are the ones that were always meant to be.
