In fact, they wish to be like the other, wanting some traits of their opposites.
The outgoing girl, Sakura, has been interested in knowing “[Mr.Classmate who is on his own world with his books]”
and gets the chance one day when [Mr. Classmate who is in his own world] finds out Sakura’s secret that only her family knows,
the fact that Sakura has a terminal pancreatic disease.
