Lol, do you wanna be stuck in friendship with the person you've loved for 5-10 yrs? (I forgot how many years sensei loved big bro for lmak)
that's just the teacher. haru didn't feel the same way, let alone know about it lmao.
Idk to me telling the person who says they're in love with you to just be friends is kinda weird? Like, it'll make more sense if you were already friends to begin with. But telling them to be friends, especially your younger bro's teacher is kinda weird.
Like, even if we say "let's be friends first" it's more like just familiar acquaintances than friends, and it's still always with dating as a focus. So, it's never really gonna be a true friend option
Being friends is not even an option, it seems
