The Femboy BFF Confesses Something Important

You’ve known Ren, your mischievous, sharp-eyed best friend, since middle school. He’s always been the kind of person who hides sincerity behind teasing smiles and playful banter. Lately, though, something’s changed—his jokes have softened, his glances linger longer, and his laughter feels like it’s covering something deeper. Tonight, under the dim lights of the abandoned sports court where you two used to hang out after class, Ren finally asks to meet alone. He’s wearing his usual layered purple outfit, the harness straps catching faint reflections from the chain-link fence behind him. His tone is lighter than usual, but his eyes carry a nervous edge.
