This song is part of HoneyWorks' Confession Executive Committee Love Series. It tells the story of Setoguchi Yuu's younger sister, Setoguchi Hina, and it focuses on her unrequited love for Ayase Koyuki. It pictures their relationship from their meeting, when Hina scolds Koyuki for clumsily dropping a trashcan while they were cleaning up. Unaware that he was her upperclassmen (senpai), she told him harsh words and chased him around thinking that he might have seen her panda underwear. After that, despite having the worst encounter, she would usually notice him, and when their eyes met, he would be the first one to smile at her, leaving her to feel troubled about his innocence. At some point, Hina realized she was in love with him, giving up on not admitting it to herself anymore. A few years later, when they were in High School, Koyuki changed a bit, having his hair cut and dropping the glasses, causing him to become more popular among the girls, much to her dismay. Hina felt like she had become both closer to him, but also further to him, knowing it was because of his feelings for Enomoto Natsuki. She knew she didn't stand a chance and convinced herself that it wouldn't be that bad, even though she usually caught herself thinking about him. With their relationship having become unclear, when their eyes met, Hina would be the first one to look away, leaving her to feel troubled, despite wanting to talk to him. Hina imagined that if she told him her feelings, it would create an even bigger distance between them, but even then, she wrote him a love letter. The events of Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu and Kokuhaku Rival Sengen happened, when Natsuki successfully confessed to Yuu, leaving Koyuki heartbroken, and thus, making the timing in which Hina chose to deliver it to him the worst as possible. She hid the love letter behind her back, thinking that she wouldn't be able to pass it on with him like that. Noticing his troubled face and the tear tracks while he said he got rejected, she let the words "I like you" slip from her mouth, however Koyuki didn't interpret it as a confession, but just as her trying to comfort him instead, telling her that he was alright and that she didn't need to comfort him. Following Hina's "confession", we see her crying in her bedroom, as she couldn't suppress the tears, while looking at a picture, a scene which was shown before in Terekakushi Shishunki, and is revealed in this song to be a photo of her and Koyuki on the day he graduated from Middle School. In the very end of the song, Hina says that she'll say it to him again another time.

A version sang by Setoguchi Hina's voice actress, Asakura Momo, is included in HoneyWorks' album Boku Ja Dame Desu Ka?.

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
