Capítulo 1057: This is me Part 34

SUMIRE

Even though she no longer has romantic feelings for Ru, talking to him has always made her feel really happy. Spending time with him, confining in him like before, even though everything has changed. They can no longer go back to what they used to be. After being in a relationship, it's suddenly hard to revert back to being just friends, especially since it's clear Ru still likes her. 

After discussing this with Toh, she finally understands why Ru always held himself back.

'Mamoru knew that if you two ever dated, and then broke up. It would change your relationship. Not everyone can be friends with the girl they used to be with. He never wanted to burden you with that, especially when you still needed him.'

Sumire stared at him. Even if she understands that now, it really is hard to believe how understanding and kind he is not just to her but also Yuhi-san and every other guy who likes her.
