He desperately wishes it had.

It was a summer Jin would never forget.

Yamashita smiles sadly, he’s always known this day would come.
“Tomohisa,” Tears stream down Kazuya’s face, “I’m sorry.”
“Go, he’s waiting for you.”

He’s never thought he’d fall so hard. It’s scary falling so deep in love, and it feels like he’s always drowning.

A sudden downpour starts up and Kazuya huddles beneath a building overhang, a lone figure makes its way towards him.
